The Tesco Express is a good place to drop in for a few things in a hurry. Conveniently located on…read morethe High Street close the Bar Gate. It is small, but carries all the essentials. Prices are reasonable and stock adequate. The staff (what we saw) were helpful. Self checkout was easy and quick.

As with all Lidl stores they sell food from other countries quite cheaply. They also sell some…read moreproducts from well known brands. From time to time they have some really good offers. I find that I can't get everything I need from this store but I can get a lot from here for a lot less money that at other stores. They charge for carrier bags.

In the current climate, I'm sure more people will be looking for…read morecheaper groceries, etc. I find Lidl's products to be on a par with any of the major supermarkets. Yes, the range is smaller and the shop isn't bright and laid out in the same way as you would expect in major store but this all means that the cost of the products themselves can be kept lower. Lidl always reminds me of supermarkets I have visited in Germany and it's nice to find products being sold that I wouldn't find in one of the majors. The 'nougat pillow' breakfast cereal is amazing (although it's obviously not the healthiest option for breakfast). The main downside to Lidl is the checkout waiting time. They never seem to have many staff on in this store, so there's often quite a wait, which is frustrating if you're only buying a couple of bits. All in all I would recommend it to anyone that's trying to save money and is happy to try something different to what they're used to.

A really big Sainsbury's with lots of choice. Right next to a large Marks and Spencer in a big…read moreshopping and Industrial area. Lots of parking spaces although quite hard to navigate in the car park. It also has a few cash points, a car wash and a petrol station. This Sainsbury's also has a cafe area, a hot food counter, electrical and clothes areas. It is a very large store and takes quite a while to look around, although it is laid out really well. There is a dedicated desk in the clothes and electrical area that can help you with any stock that isn't out on display. It has a large fruit and veg section as well as a bakery but the frozen food isle are not that big. Good place to do your weekly shop as you have a marks and Spencer next door and the petrol is always at a reasonable price compared to other stations. Staff are also helpful and friendly.

Summary: Good food at good food prices…read more This is the best supermarket in the area, with a good and diverse selection of fresh food. There's not much that's cheap here, but then good stuff rarely is. There is an excellent fish counter, great produce including extensive organic selections, a good deli counter and an in-store bakery. We shop here regularly, looking out especially for the red-stickered items to get the best deals. For local colour, watch out for the ever-cheerful Pat on their staff, who you'll spot chuckling and singing as she helps customers each day

leaving Tesco yesterday I realised I had a puncture so pulled in to the recycling area opposite the…read morepetrol station. the gentleman in there offered to help me as he was an ex RAC patrol man. in the end he couldn't as I did not have the correct equipment. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who stopped to offer help, in the end a lovely young man from Latvia came and helped me. He pulled out this huge screw/ bolt from the tyre then repaired it with something magic that looked like a rubber plug. I don't know his name, he said he lived in new Milton and he had a blue car. He really was a saviour to me. I was so amazed that so many kind people came to my aid and offered help. with all the bad things happening in this world today, all the people who stopped were just kind and wonderfu, I'm glad I live in this great country.
