Can do a really good weekly shop here for twenty quid if you know what to look for, and great produce /meals for singletons. Good choice of beers and wines.

Great staff and amazing selection of fresh and organic food. Ample parking during all hours and have also been adhering to the ever changing rules due to the pandemic. Fresh counter offers a huge selection of high quality meats and fish. Grains, cereals and pasta available in dispensers to reduce waste as well as a selection of frozen fruit at a set price per 100g.
Somehow Waitrose staff always manage to make my visit pleasant, and I've been to stores around the country. They must occasionally wake up feeling under the weather, short of sleep or hung over, like the rest of us, but never bring a trace of irritable reaction to work. Waitrose must be a good company to make the experience that consistent, but here are a few reasons I feel the Cheltenham branch is even better: The unpackaged department has a broad range of plastic-free foods at really reasonable prices, not just quinoa and dried fruit, but even coffee beans and frozen fruit. You can bring your own containers or use paper bags to pack it up. Oh, and also refillable wines and beers on tap. The Waite and Rose cafe has plenty of seats, with an attractive patio area outside, and herbs in planter boxes. Some of the dishes can be small for the price, but there is a variety on the menu. Outside the store is a nice coffee truck (see photos) and they offer reusable cups for only 25p. It's also roomier throughout than some other stores, and although it is possible to spend over 10 on some fancy Modena balsamic vinegar, you needn't spend more than anywhere else on key food items, in my experience. We always buy eggs here, feeling more confident in Waitrose's ethical standards in their supply chain than other companies. Well worth a visit or to try out if you usually shop elsewhere.
Would have 5 stars if there were items in stock, but a calm shopping experience. People panicking again!
Almost always well stocked. Mainly visit for the plastic free section and range of vegan food here. Queues at peak times during lockdown can be long but means that it is less busy inside. Sushi counter is also a highlight for occasional treat although it is expensive. Always a good experience to shop here but the trade off is how expensive some things are.
