The 30 Best Supermarket in Northampton

“So glad I discovered this shop! Now we pretty much buy all our veggies from here. Nice selection of spices as well with better value for money ratio.”

“The staff here are incredibly helpful and friendly, making my shopping experience truly enjoyable. They're knowledgeable about their products and are going above and beyond to assist me. As I navigate through the store, I'm finding a wide variety of authentic African items, and I'm being helped every step of the way. This store is highly recommended for anyone seeking exceptional customer service and quality products.”

“Honestly great staff, and awesome choice of food and drinks”

“Friendly staff, good selection of products for a small store.”

“My local corner shop. The family are super friendly and always take the time to ask how I am and to have a general chit chat with. Great selection of international items and a variety of products. I always look forward to popping into Janta's. More shops could do with learning their ways of customer service... top notch!”

“Great service.friendly staff.Good & quality products.”

“Shop is well stocked. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good prices and good choice of both fresh food and confectionery”

“The best Eastern Europe shop in Northampton”

“Love Polish food. And that was the perfect place to go.”

“In this place you get sea/ocean foods of all kinds; and I mean it. You might get fish of all types, lobsters, shellfish, and other kinds of marine mammals. The fish you get here is as fresh as the one in the water because of the deep freezing that is applied to them. The food hygiene is also 5 stars since the environment is clean and you are served by well respected and qualified professional butchers.”

“They sell the winning lottery tickets just pop in and ask for a lucky dip! I've got 3 to 4 numbers for the past month now and hopefully the winning ticket will soon pop up”

“Opens at 7am, Great shop, has almost everything, really nice staff”

“Friendly staff that go out of their way. Possibly the only convenient place that’s open 24/7.”

“Very pleasant service!!! A whole variation of world foods stuff!”

“Not my usual place to shop however, I can get some of my favourite dairy products here. Good ranges, great offers but the reason I return is the staff. They are all happy, chatty, friendly, helpful and amazing. Keep it up guys x”

“Umrah Supermarket was recommended by a friend slightly out of my way but thought I’d try it, and honestly I was surprised how organised everything was and from the product they had everything from different brands from different countries. It was very clean store and staff were helpful. The Butchers section was impressive got served straight away and they had everything I required and honestly I found the store itself slightly cheaper than my regular shop / butchers. Definitely recommending this place even if you pop in for a look if you’re in the area of Northampton.”

“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.”

“Always happy to help fined the things you can't see, and a big selection of ramen noodles my fave”

“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”

“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!!”

“I like this store, large selection, new delivery of things every week, fresh vegetables, meat, fruit and many other products. Good promotions.”

“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”

“Visit every week, on one occasion was behind two old farts who said to the young lad serving, "Have you worked here long?" He replied yes a few months. To which they replied "well you should be quicker!" For starters, they didn't pack their shopping, he did!!!! The poor lad just took it and didn't react. In all the trips I've done there the young lads on the till who let's be honest are probably only on min wage are polite, helpful and a credit to the store.”

“Very nice shop all items here fresh and good quality masale and lentils”

“Great customer service boss man is very friendly”
