Waitrose Cafe

We visited the cafe in this branch of Waitrose. I had a lovely cup of Americano (coffee), served with milk in a China jug and sugar of my choice. My wife had hot chocolate, and she also had a blueberry muffin while I ate a lemon and fruit Danish pastry. It was really well presented and the service was outstanding. Couple that with a quiet atmosphere where you can converse without shouting to be heard, and you get the picture. The shopping experience here is much as you would expect from any other Waitrose, and as an older guy, it suits me to find a quieter, slightly less frenetic environment. I would like to see more in the way of low packaging impact goods like the fill your own container to be found in a few branches, but I guess we will have to wait a bit longer for that to come around. Overall, it was a brilliant experience considering it is shopping 😉

A brilliant hidden gem of a live action zombie-horror attraction. Experience what it would be like to gather supplies in a World War Z scenario where your fellow shoppers have been afflicted with a virus turning them unto roaming undead. Dodge trolly wielding zombies in the car park, marvel as they try and fail to operate the card machines and self service checkouts, clamber over hordes of the undead in order to reach items on the shelves, don bio hazard equipment and try to avoid catching the virus which threatens to wipe out humanity. The acting of the zombies in the experience area is very realistic and second to none. Additionally, the experience area doubles up as a gift shop that has everything from fresh produce, to meat, household items and alcohol. The entrance fee is very reasonable at £0 and it appears this attraction is entirely funded by purchases from the gift shop so a cheap day out for the whole family.

we shop here every week and have always found the staff friendly and helpful, but this week we went to the fish counter looking for smoked although there was some labelled as such it was Haddock we thanked the lady and carried on shopping to our surprise later the lady found us and said she had found some for us.a big thank you to her
