SPAR St Lawrence Road

Nice sized well presented store, good selection of hot food to takeaway, best get it in the morning though as it can get past its best" later on. Reasonable prices too."

a great place for last min items but so over priced! generally the queue isn't too bad but surely to clear it rather than keep looking at the one staff member actually working the tills perhaps open up another and help!

This shop has gone downhill since the Ostler's ownership. The staff,with two or three exceptions, seem to think it is somewhere to passthe time of day, with a total disregard for CUSTOMER SERVICE,and what used to be called a work ethic. Since the new regime cameinto being, it seems to be acceptable to chew gum, eat sandwiches,hold conversations with colleagues,whilst serving customers.The collation of newspapers has taken on a new meaning, that is whenthey arrive! On more than one occasion papers have not beendelivered to the store, or have been missing inserts, magazines, etc.,and nobody there seems to have the wit to chase the distributorsand demand an explanation, which, in turn, could be passed on tothe long suffering customer.Perhaps the owners should attend a few courses on retail andpersonnel management, and an extended course on customerservice! They could then pass their new found wisdom on tothe staff!!I could continue, ad nauseam, about the general state ofcleanliness, inside and in the car park, etc.,etc.,etc, but if theowners need to be told the basics, what on earth are theydoing in the retail business.

Really not very good. Worse than Budgens, if that's possible. Better than the one in Bulwark though, where all the veg fridges are filled with Coke.

Used snappy shopper. Phoned me as two products were OOS, fine no prob, I ask for refund rather than substitution. When the rest of the order arrives they have substituted a further four items (why didn't they also inform me of those?). I phone up and explain I can’t eat them as I have allergies etc. they say ok we’ll refund you. Bit disappointed but I accept that happens, no prob. Then the delivery driver phones me up and I explain what happened and she starts arguing with me about the items saying the original ones contained the allergen. I was like ‘no they’re vegan, I can’t eat these subbed ones ‘cause they have milk!’. I just can’t believe she had the cheek to argue with me over that, especially since I was already told the refund was fine. If she hadn’t have said that to me my review would not have been so low.

Local shop that stocks most of what you'd expect a local shop to have.There's a cash machine inside although it's not obvious and not signposted outside.

Excellent for shopping for what you need on a daily basis especially on a weekend and it’s open until 9PM on a Sunday as well , tremendous staff brilliant can do anything attitude marvellous aye

Great selection of fresh food. Friendly staff and free parking. Good opening hours too.

I go here most days - the team there are so friendly and food all fresh and reasonably priced - beer is well priced too they ask after my welfare and even my puppy - couldn't ask for a better local store !!!!
