Waitrose on Park Lane serves the town centre of Poynton. The store is reasonably clean and tidy, it is slightly on the high-end side of things price-wise, but there were some good offers available on my recent visit to store.
The car park appears to be shared by the Civic Hall and includes a doctor's surgery, but you do get two hours of free parking which is surely enough to do your shopping.
The store is a decent size, and the checkout staff were friendly. I had some issues scanning my gift card at the self-checkout due to the sunlight reflection making it difficult for me to read the screen, and the screen to read the product barcodes, but a staff member noticed the kerfuffle I was facing and offered assistance, without me having to ask him.
The store was reasonably well stocked, but I was unable to find the Waitrose Free From crumpets that I had come in for. The store layout could do with some work, as the coffee on offer appeared to be separate from the rest of the coffee section, which made little sense, as it was in a different area of the store.
PRO TIP: Bring your reusable cup and get a free coffee with a MyWaitrose card
3* - A decent supermarket, with many positives for sure including the staff but far from perfect, it would also be useful for the store to have evening openings past 20:00 during the week. read more
