To be fair the old reviews here were before a refit of the cooler cabinets, it is much better now and the staff have always been friendly and efficient. Unlike a nearby shop, you can lock your bicycle to the trolley guard rails.

Small shop that you could find almost everything, fresh fruit & vegetables, low prices great variety and quality, fantastic meal deals not just with sandwiches, and they bake their own rolls, bread & selections of mouthwatering pastry! Lovely staffs and members get cash back for themselves and for a cause they choose! Can't beat that!

Very useful little store. Yes can be a bit smelly (including some of the staff!) and not much choice. No Jalapenos any more :(

Always dislike this co op, always smells bad, fridges and air con never work, nowhere to queue apart from down the isle which is usually halfway through being stacked all the time. The new sainsburys in aldershot is much nicer.
