Secret tip: Looking for a bargain? Come here on Sunday 5:30-6PM, which is when everything is reduced. Downside: Competing with a certain pushy non-local and his extended family for reduced items ????
It's great providing that the you avoid the breakfast , lunch and early evening rush. The queue moves amazingly fast, but runs right around the store. If too busy for you, there's a Tesco nextdoor
The self checkouts don't take cash. The guys at the meat counter are happy to give help and advice; take them up on it and explore some exotic cuts!
You can buy goods online from John Lewis and pick them up at this Waitrose for free. If you order before 7pm you can pick up the next day.
John Lewis orders can be picked up from the welcome desk: it's not very well signposted within the store.
Great selection of fresh cheese sold over the counter.
cous cous and goat cheese salad is a regular staple of mine, followed by an alabi pretox, and then a sugar free red bull .
Great quality food, when available employees not caring , unhelpful...
A bit Tescoish
Their bread is pretty decent. Great with some smoked salmon or ham !
Go shop there! Love it - Farringdon has needed a proper grocery store instead of all these locals! Beats the nearby Tesco by a mile!
The fresh bread is quite good. Try it with some soup !
Sometimes the queue looks like it spans the Earth...but it has never taken more then 10 mins to clear for me. Stick with it ;-)
Avoid shopping between 1-2pm. The queue goes round the whole store, although it does move fast
If you're using for lunch it is much less crowded between 12-12.45pm. After that the queues get pretty long.
Super fornito!
Big queues at lunch but they do move quickly!
Decent enough size but unfortunately does not have my beloved cake counter.
Head to Chapel Street, you wont need a "compass" to find the venue from there....
They sell English sparkling wine
Good big soup for only 2.99 - a meal in itself
Nicest staff ever...no question is too much trouble!
Tescos next door is usually empty. Waitrose isn't. Nuff said.
Buy something fo me
really good selection of herbs and spices and general cooking ingredients
Get the meal deal - sandwich, any crisp and drink for £2.50. Can't say fairer then that :) - Lauren McGregor
Be careful with berries - I have found one or two mouldy ones in the box on occasions - Ronuk Vasant
Nice quiet place to get away in the midst of Clerkenwell, as long as it's not lunchtime. - Paul Kardous
