Waitrose has a perhaps undeserved reputation of being a little more upmarket/higher quality than Sainsbury's, Tesco or Morrisons. No discernible difference IMHO
The cafe was very disappointing today. When we have visited previously, we have been able to buy a small bottle of wine to drink with our meal. This is no longer available. Similarly, the food offering has been drastically reduced and the cafe no longer sells fries with meals. So you're pretty much stuck with a bowl of soup or a cheese toastie. Not surprisingly, the cafe was very quiet.
Hoping to have the same great breakfast and staff on our last visit....albeit a while ago! However ...couldn't have a de- caf coffee ...machine not working! Ordered scrambled egg...my friend poached egg on toast .. Waited 25 mins... Food looked like it had been thrown on a plate. Staff off -hand and 1 was rude. The fridges had a poor offering of sandwiches etc. Waitrose used to be the best place to go ..for Well presented and tasty food, lovely staff and a buzzing ambience!! Shame! Being so close to Rushden Lakes it's about time Waitrose stepped up!! We certainly won't be creating a memory as we were doing today.. Of today's experience!!
The only thing I dislike about Waitrose is I spend too much here as the charcuterie range is amazing! A little pricey, but you're paying for quality and quality is what you get. I may not shop here on a regular basis but everyone once in a while it's nice to treat yourself to some quality food.
I love this brach of Waitrose. It is large enough to have an excellent range to choose from, plenty of choice and great staff. I don't live locally so really appreciate taking the time to see what's in store when I can. Keep up the good work!
A great range of products, plus of course, the best supermarket sushi there is!
Shopping here because so many other supermarkets are without stock. Quality is always good on their own products and their prices are now only slightly higher than Tesco, Sainsbury etc.
Ever since the new restaurant opened we have almost made it a weakly visit. Good food and drink. Staff are always very friendly and nothing is to much trouble. One week I spilled over a whole mug of tea. A friendly member of staff came out and asked if I was ok cleaned the table up and the floor area and said politely that I could move to another table. Well impressed.
We were very disappointed that a meal offer was not only advertised at the store entrance, on every table and on the overhead, but that we were told that it was impossible to received it, as the tills could not process it! Could we please pay the full amount? Only after refusing to do so and insisting on receiving the advertised offer, did the supervisor authorise the payment! Not what you would expect from Waitrose. This was the soup meal deal at Rushden Waitrose, 16/06/22
A refurbished waitrose, with a fresh sushi counter, a meat counter and a fish counter. A dry aged area with a display case to view the meat. Lots of different breads. A large alcohol section. A John lewis area at the end of the store with a selection of homeware. A cafe. A community area available for hire, free to use for organisations but needs booking in advance. Plenty of parking outside, even at weekends. Definitely an upgrade from the usual, and worth a visit.
