It has an in store bakery which turns out freshly baked bread throughout the day. There is a small clothes department and a home ware section so this makes it perfect for the weekly shop. It offers a free car park but the trolleys do need a token or £1 coin in order to use them. The staff are friendly and helpful and the shop clean and tidy. There is a good selection of the most popular cds, dvd's and games. There is a petrol station on site and it is easy to get to.

From the road, this looks like a relatively decent sized Asda…read more Once you get in, it's pretty much a clusterf-. The chilled and frozen food is in a semi-circle around the crowded aisles, which are never properly stocked. There's not much variety. Staff varies - today I had a nice manager getting my click and collect parcel - but he kept coughing and not covering his mouth. Then the guy who checked us out tried to sell us a bag - which we need, fine. But when we asked for a normal one, he insisted on giving us a bag for life, which cost more and was larger than we needed. Oh well, whatever. I mean, it sells stuff at a reasonable price. But not a place to do a weekly shop, if you're at all sane.

When you think of Asda, you pretty much think of an enormous store - you kind of have to as it's…read morequickly become Walmart in all but name due to its American owners. This has that same idea, except imagine taking that gigantic store and squishing it down to a much, much smaller space. In otherwords, this is a tight squeeze at the best of times - for example, if a member of staff is putting something out, then that's the aisle blocked. If two trolleys want to pass each other, they have to do so delicately. Plus, nothing is in the order you'd expect - and this has to be the only place masquerading as a full sized supermarket where you'd find the beers, wines and spirits section down the same aisle as the frozen food. But you know, you can pick up a bottle of rose and a bag of frozen samosas at the same time, so that's progress right. The other problem I have generally with Asda is that their shelving makes it look like you're in a warehouse the entire time. It's fine for places like Costco because you are actually in a warehouse, but when you're in a place which is meant to be on the same level and idea as a Sainsburys or a Tescos, it just makes the entire store look cheap - and not cheap as in "ooh, I've saved two quid" but as in "the place just looks unappealing and terrible".

Although small, this store has enough for you to grab basic provisions you might have run out of and has a cash till as well. This Tesco also has a few dedicated parking bays - parking in Hatch End, no matter what time of day or night - is a luck of the draw, as there are numerous restaurants on the main road so the roads are always packed with parked cars. If desperate, however, there is a free car park behind the shops, that you can get to by driving down Grimsdyke Road and turning left just past the Quickfit.

How wrong could I be....it was really nice....a decent bolognese sauce and lots of it, nicely cooked pasta that retained it's bite...a creamy bechamel with undertones of bay and nutmeg and a good sprinkling of parmesean...I cooked it for a longer than suggested until the top was nicely browned and pulsating with the molten sauces and ate every single bite ....if you're stuck for a quick dinner for a guest...buy a couple of these...make a salad...get some garlic bread...and enjoy....really nice.
