Bakery in Northampton

“This place is brilliant! Delicious sourdough toast, perfect pastries and amazing flat whites.”

“I love shopping at this Sainsbury’s. Thank you for opening an extra checkout for me and for giving me £60 off my bill from Nectar Rewards.”

“Excellent customer service today in the car park. Andrew assisted me placing my shopping in my car. I am recovering from illness and really appreciated this. He approached me to offer his help. Friendly and polite without being intrusive. A credit to the team at Sainsbury's Gambrel Road, Northampton.”

“Limited range due to size of shop. Car parking manged and fines issued if over stay parking read the notice as time limit has reduced.”

“Sainsbury’s Kettering is my go-to shop and it never disappoints. I can always find everything I need, the store is well stocked, and it’s easy to get around. The staff are friendly and helpful, which makes shopping there even better. The Nectar perks are a big bonus too – the deals and rewards really add up. Overall, a reliable and convenient supermarket that I’m happy to shop at regularly.”

“Iceland in **Bedford** is a go-to supermarket for frozen food lovers and budget-conscious shoppers. Here’s a balanced review of what to expect: ### **Positives:** ✅ **Frozen Food Heaven** – Iceland excels in frozen meals, from pizzas and ready meals to vegan options. Their *Luxury Range* offers restaurant-quality dishes at affordable prices. ✅ **Great Deals & Discounts** – Regular promotions (e.g., "Buy One Get One Free") and loyalty discounts make grocery shopping cheaper here than at many competitors. ✅ **Speedy Checkout** – Staff are friendly, and queues move quickly, even during peak times. ✅ **Convenience** – The store is well-organized, making it easy to grab essentials without navigating a massive supermarket. ### **Areas for Improvement:** ⚠ **Limited Fresh Produce** – While frozen items shine, the fresh fruit and vegetable section is smaller than in larger supermarkets, with less variety. ⚠ **Crowded Aisles** – The store layout can feel cramped, especially on weekends, making shopping less comfortable. ⚠ **Brand Restrictions** – Shoppers looking for premium or niche brands may need to visit other stores. ### **Final Verdict:** **Rating: 4/5** – Iceland Bedford is **perfect for frozen food bargains and quick, budget-friendly shopping**. If you prioritize fresh produce or specialty brands, you might need to supplement your shop elsewhere. Ideal for families stocking up on frozen goods or shoppers looking to save money without sacrificing quality.”

“Great shopping experience and free delivery. Couldn't ask for more. Staff very friendly and helpful”

“Called in for a drink on my birthday. Staff were quick to wish me happy birthday. Even quicker to help when we spilt a drink. Lovely lady came over with cookies for us. Well above and beyond. Made my day. Thank you so much. Xx”

“Have been dissapontied lately. (GIFT CARD) Change on order on line my end but doesn't happen there end. Reduce items my end it doesn't there end. No single staff i have spoken about how to use gift card on line shopping. Had an idea on how to app on payment. So my last order was cancelled due luck of payment”

“Easy parking. The shop is just the right size, not too small that there isn’t a good selection and not too big that you have to walk for miles. Check out is generally not too busy.”

“Some really good prices, their own ready made luxury moussaka is a lovely meal, & to be honest you couldn't buy the ingredients and make it for that price. UPDATED: we have just had some frozen meals from there, I had a sweet& sour chicken & some battered chicken with sweet & sour sauce, very very good, decent chicken in it,& microwaved the sweet & sour, I'm not a not a massive microwave fan but it really works well. Husband had a chicken vindaloo, he said the chicken in it was very good, the flavour was excellent & it was hot, apparently nearly as good as a takeaway one. If you buy on a Tuesday you get 10% discount for seniors.”

“Had a really lovely experience in my local Iceland today. I don’t really tend to shop there but today I popped in for some bits and bobs and now it will definitely become a part of my regular shop! This really lovely girl named Alicia asked me if I needed some help as I looked a bit lost and guided me to the right section and even walked with me to the till as I was unsure how to check out. Honestly couldn’t ask for a better employee when it comes to customer service and satisfaction!!”

“Wide selection of materials for sewing clothes, excellent clothes repair service, and accessories such as buttons, needles, threads, and various coloured ribbons, wonderful shop seems small but if you go further into the shop, the first floor and second floors are excellent you will find the accessories”

“Great breakfast, friendly staff and value for money. We stayed at the Travellodge up the road, which does not serve food, this cafe is a 5 minute drive, highly recommended.”

“This is my local so I go there all the time”

“Aheed Food Centre offers a diverse selection of fresh produce, groceries, and halal products at reasonable prices. The store is well-organized, and the staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant shopping experience.”

“Usual super market. Well stocked n well staffed store. Everything u need, u can get from here. Shelves r full of stock. Staff is quite helpful. Been there many times n every time get new experience for their service. It has huge parking area. I like that Indian lady on help desk. Even in this age she is so active. There’s a patrol station just next to it. A pharmacy is inside this Sainsbury’s as well as Argos. Much cleans s tidy store. Even not far from my house”

“I have never been here but I came with my family the other week and had a pumpkin spiced latte! The venue is very atmospheric, I shall return back as I'm becoming a fan of Starbucks!”

“Popped in to pick up an Argos collection. Was helped out by an assistant as soon as I walked in and I was told my options and given a good deal. Very happy.”

“Oundle is a lovely place to walk around looking in shops! It has a great Christmas feel. The Talbot Inn was fantastic too...”

“My most recent visit was due to having to see family in Northampton General Hospital daily for a couple of weeks. This store is close, and easily accessed on my way in/out of town. I was originally visiting the Timpsons store that is located within the Morissons here, but combined it grabbing breakfast and doing a little shopping. The cafe was great! Quiet. Easy ordering. Fully customisable meals. Good range. Very low prices. Quick service. And a fantastic fill up, which was exactly what I needed! This store has a very wide range of products, which is refreshing as it's unlike anything else local to me. The bakery and deli sections were especially nice on this trip. The store had everything I needed, and at a reasonable price too. I joined the loyatly program too, which gave me some points and some discount offers that helped too. Parking was easy. Plenty of spaces. Accessible spaces were easily found and had very easy access into the store. I'll certainly be stopping by next time I'm in the area.”

“Pleasantly surprised by the size of the store. Good range of products including home/garden.”

“Amazing staff. So helpful. So kind so patient. Helped my son out with sugar yesterday (think it was carol) the staff are who makes it. Thank you”

“Convenient for local shopping and good opening hours. Post office particularly handy. Free car parking available. Wide range of items including fresh, chilled and frozen products. Staff friendly and helpful.”

“Clean store with a large reduction fridge. Self-serving checkouts and manned checkouts. Trolleys kept just inside the door by the disabled bay that makes it disabled friendly. Busy store with a wide range of products. Hot coffee and hot pastrys are available next to self-service checkouts”

“Good location, generous underground car park. The shop is aged, but if offers everything what one expect from Sainsbury's. They have an Argos click and collect inside.”

“I got a discount of £3 after scanning since I had an extra coupon voucher with me. This is our go-to store whenever we don't find a specific item in Lidl or Aldi. Love the world foods aisle.”

“Used their click & collect service for the first time! Really easy, quick & convenient. Great customer service from the person who brought it over”
