Waitrose Partners Marlborough - Manton

My visit was disappointing. The store feels tired and the layout is a mess. I really only popped in for a sandwich but could resist a walk around. It was all a bit grubby and cluttered. The flooring is tired and tatty. Doors left open to backrooms looked to be in chaos with cages and equipment. The strange underground walk to the carpark was like a public toilet with pumpkins. Surely a thief's paradise. Back to my sandwich... The poor selection was made to look worse by the broken fridge light which made it difficult to see. The £5 meal deal was fine except the store had not filled the savouries in the baskets which meant the deal didn't work. The hot ready to eat section was broken. All a bit of a disaster.

I find my local waitrose to be brilliant,.Always helpful,efficient and a pleasure.

Nice and not too busy on a Sunday. Good fresh sushi bar and fairly priced wines.

Hardly any fish and strange absence of soft fruit and various other items. Presumably logistics problems but no satisfactory explanation offered so overall this visit to Waitrose was disappointing

Limited room in aisles not helped by cages being unloaded in narrow points.
