2 weeks agoA perfectly average supermarket, and that's fine. In general, the south hill branch is the better supermarket, but it is still a good option, definitely above countdown. Staff are great, store layout and selection can be hit of miss. Nice and clean though, worth if it you are already in the Northend, otherwise go to south hill

8 months agothe young man who served me was very helpful and friendly, and went out of his way to help connect my shopping to my mum's new world card, and when he saw her name on the system he told me what a lovely person she was to talk to, made me feel great and mum was happy to hear it too

5 months agoGreat mid-sized grocery store. Fish selection is great and varied. Bakery is by far the best supermarket bakery in town - always new things to try although the Biscoff cheesecake, white bread loaf and fresh cream buns are the best!
