Great place for shopping. More options in this branch than others (eg gluten free baguette, bagels etc). They allowed me to keep my bike in front of customer service desk for short period whist I am shopping.

Sarah Fox

What an amazing little shop. A gluten free person's dream!! So much choice

Rania Issa

I didn't find any products with gluten-free 😕

Delicious gluten free arepa made with quinoa and corn, got the beef one and asked for extra cabbage, the ladies were extremely friendly and I got to practice my spanish a bit also

Adam Sidbury

Lots of lovely expensive stuff but not great for Coeliacs.

Anna Aleksandrova

Great selection of plant-based, gluten-free and fermented foods as well as supplements. I have been a happy customer for the last two years. However, it is a great pity that the new location at 108 Westbourne Grove is much smaller and does not have the same spacious cafe area with tables for sit-down meals. It used to be a place where I could take my family and friends not just to shop but also to sit down for some delicious lunch (takeaway food/drinks are not an option I am interested in). I hope that the Westbourne Grove branch will return its focus to in-store dining.

Waitrose is one of the most well-regarded supermarket chains in the United Kingdom, known for its exceptional quality, customer service, and ethical sourcing. For those seeking a premium grocery shopping experience, Waitrose often stands out as a top choice. Having shopped there regularly over the past year, I can confidently say that Waitrose delivers on its promise of quality, cleanliness, and customer care in almost every aspect. One of the first things that sets Waitrose apart is the overall shopping environment. The stores are consistently clean, well-organized, and designed with comfort in mind. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted with a sense of calm that is often missing in busier, more chaotic supermarkets. The aisles are wide enough to avoid congestion, and products are clearly labeled and easy to find. Whether you’re looking for basic household items, fresh fruit, or international ingredients, you can navigate the store efficiently. A significant strength of Waitrose is its commitment to quality. The produce section, in particular, is outstanding. Fresh fruits and vegetables are always beautifully presented and noticeably fresher than those found in many other supermarket chains. The same goes for their selection of meats, fish, and dairy products. Waitrose works with British farmers and suppliers, supporting local agriculture while ensuring high standards in animal welfare and sustainable farming. Their dedication to offering responsibly sourced and organic options is visible across all departments, which is reassuring for health-conscious or environmentally aware customers. Customer service at Waitrose is another highlight worth praising. The staff are well-trained, approachable, and genuinely helpful. Whether you’re asking for assistance in locating a product or need advice about ingredients, employees go the extra mile to provide support. Unlike some retail environments where staff seem rushed or uninterested, the team at Waitrose appear to take pride in their work. This level of professionalism enhances the overall shopping experience and helps build trust and loyalty. Another aspect that impresses many customers, including myself, is Waitrose’s ethical business model. The company has a strong commitment to sustainability and community involvement. Their policies on reducing plastic use, minimizing food waste, and supporting fair trade are not just marketing slogans—they are embedded in daily operations. For example, many products are available in recyclable or minimal packaging, and there are regular promotions for sustainably sourced fish and free-range meat. Waitrose also excels in offering a wide range of high-quality own-brand products. Their “Essential Waitrose” line provides great value without compromising on quality, and their premium range offers gourmet products that are perfect for special occasions. From artisan breads to plant-based meals and luxury desserts, the variety and creativity in their offerings are impressive. The store also caters to a wide range of dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free products, making it an inclusive space for all customers. However, it is fair to mention that Waitrose is not the cheapest option in the market. Compared to budget supermarkets like Aldi or Lidl, prices are generally higher. But in return, what you receive is unmatched quality, service, and peace of mind. For many customers, including myself, that trade-off is worth it. In conclusion, Waitrose offers a superior shopping experience that combines quality, ethics, and excellent customer care. Whether you’re doing a quick weekly shop or searching for premium ingredients for a special meal, Waitrose is a place you can rely on. Its commitment to high standards in everything from food sourcing to staff welfare truly makes it stand out among British supermarkets. While it may not suit every budget, for those who value quality and ethical practice, Waitrose is undoubtedly one of the best choices in the UK retail market

I love Planet Organic for all their amazing produce and countless plant based, gluten, and dairy free options. Staff members are super knowledgeable and extremely helpful. As a regular customer, I highly recommend it.

Hannah Boynton

Drewton’s Farm Shop is a fantastic place to visit! The café is excellent, with delicious food and a lovely atmosphere, and the butchers always have a great selection of high-quality meats. The shop itself is well-stocked with a wonderful range of local produce and treats. It would be great to see more gluten-free options in the bakery section if possible, but overall, we always enjoy visiting. The staff are friendly, and the setting is beautiful—definitely worth a trip!

Debbie Owen

THE place for organic fruit, veg, gluten, dairy free & vegan produce. Lovely selection of dried fruit, pulses, nuts & oat milk in bottles. Great place to shop.

Chris Inkpen

The best lunches for gluten free people

Lyn Olver

Very best Sainsbury’s around. Marvellous service from those working in store. Fantastic selection of Gluten Free foods too! Definitely worth a visit from my experience. 👏

Vee77

A large store that was clean and tidy! I found everything I wanted! I spoke with a staff member working on the fridge, who was very helpful and directed me in my search for the free from. Visited today 2/11/24! It's a well stocked shop and very clean.. pleasant experience.. just difficult to find all the items that are both gluten and milk free..

Antonieta

Good selection of organic, vegan and gluten free products. They have an indoor bakery which is great.

Clyre Day

Managed to get all our requirements really pleased to be able to purchase Vital Wheat Gluten Flour., Tartex mushroom Pate. Aswell as getting an OAP discount there😊

The fresh salad they prepare every week day around mid-day is the healthiest and most delicious, filling lunch you can have if you are around ! Eating it will be truly eye opening experience, equal to travel. Even advanced veggies may be surprised how delicious and varied taste vegetables can be when they are good quality and mixed smartly with various sauces, nuts etc. But come early because you won’t have much choice after 1 pm! Hence my 4 rather than 5 stars — please make more Greek salad and other favs so that they do not run out so quickly 😅 Another plus — gluten free baked goodies. I just cannot not grab a piece of cake when I am there. It’s not good for my wallet though.. The prices recently have been through the roof as far as baked goods and drinks are concerned. But the selection of vegetarian, bio products from vegetables and cheeses to plant based drinks, from dried fruit to spices and from laundry detergents to deodorants is truly one of the best in London.

Paul Sebine

Great for gluten free for daughter

Janice Walker

Really competitive prices, good quality products, wide range of gluten free products

colin7200

Good gluten free selection

Carol Lumb

I like Sainsbury's for its gluten free range. It's not the cheapest supermarket, but its gluten free items are up there

Rob Harrington

Tasty food and friendly service. The low gluten pasta is good quality, I just wish they did a gluten free pizza base as I’d love to try the pizzas!

Dawn Crawford

Lorna Tan ner

Fantastic shop full of exotic and vegan and gluten free and decadent and a lovely little cafe too. Highly recommend x

Carmen O

Friendly and helpful staff, great range of gluten free and vegetarian items. Free parking for first 1.5 hours.

Eric Doudrick

I like the place. It’s very posh and modern. I found the menu to be fairly extensive. The service was disorganised and slow. It seemed that we didn’t have a single person who was keeping track of the order so the several people taking care of our table had no idea what we ordered so they were just dropping food off at the table. This was also a problem when we were looking to get additional service or pay because no one seemed responsible for the table. The person we eventually stopped seemed exasperated that we asked him for a check. I think I’ll give them another try but it was not the best first impression especially when charging such high prices for the food. We visited the grocery area and the store crafty part of the store as well. The menu has a large vegetarian selection and gluten free options. Parking was plentiful.

Robert Whalen Jr

I had the Beef Braised Tacos from Los Gordos (which are Gluten Free).

Suraj Mookhram

Lovely place for brunch and coffee, freshly made food, lots of options 😋. Definitely will be back. Plenty of veg and gluten free food Thank you for the amazing service

I LIVE on items from this store. I moved to London two years ago and was shocked at how hard it is to find food items in London that don't have preservatives, etc. In the US, any Whole Foods is guaranteed not to carry any items with preservatives. So discovering Planet Organic was a life-saver, particularly for items that don't have gluten or dairy, and are still unprocessed and healthy. The store is always well-stocked and the cashiers are lovely. My only fear is that at some point the store will close. So I hope that people frequent it, because we need to keep this option alive!!

Steve Hulse

Good variety of gluten free frozen section

Felicity H

Perfect spot for refreshments on a long cycle! 100% recommend stopping here. Excellent coffee, delicious food, really friendly team👌 Gluten free options available (usually a struggle to find!). We were particularly impressed - GF sandwiches are normally smaller because the bread is smaller, but they popped an extra sarnie in to make up for that (excellent news for a hungry cyclist!). The gluten free brownies were also incredible. There are bike racks outside which have been very thoughtfully padded to protect bike frames. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

John Wheatley

It's Sainsbury. However, new isle of free from. Absolutely brilliant. Catering for Gluten intolerant and dairy free. Nicely laid out. Wine 🍷 prices beat Tesco and better range. Best of all, their fruit and veg which cannot be beaten on price and quality. Not even Waitrose can supply veg and fruit as good as Sainsbury.

Peter Sheppard

Good local supermarket! Not bad prices! Would have been 5 star had there been more gluten free choice( a medical necessity) and less of dietary fad foods!!

Eric Spencer

Found gluten free chocolate celebration cake, took a while and a bit of investigation.

Steve Amos

Massive store with a fantastic range of Gluten free food.

Laura K

Huge choice of products. A lot of gluten free options. No queues. Nice service. Unfortunately prices are much bigger than Lidl or Aldi.

Graham Duff

A good sized store. Managed to get gluten free pastry, not always easy to do.

Fussy Vegetarian

Great for lactose free, gluten free and other allergen free food. Helpful staff too.

Jennifer Briscoe

Friendly helpful staff. Lots of gluten and dairy free foods available.

Victor Armitage

Tremendous selection of Gluten Free

Gary Wise

What an Aladdin’s cave of hard to find and exotic ingredients staffed by lovely people. It is rumoured Ottolenghi shops there for special ingredients. Best Baklava I have had in a LONG time. Good butcher, hot food, gluten free pastries and a fantastic olive bar.

Juho Pitkänen

Just wonderful place. All kinds of food available and you can mix and match what ever you want to eat. Everyone is happy and its contagious. One of the most unique places i have visited and one of the best. Allso they had very good gluten free options.

roxy doodles

Absolutely brilliant range of gluten free products 😊 very happy well done Sainsbury's for thinking about us celiacs the choice your shop has is brilliant 😀

L Gilbert

Good selection of free from foods. Picked up some lovely gluten free wraps on offer and some gluten dairy free cakes

Doghouse Riley

No lactose-free yoghurt and no gluten-free spaghetti 👎 Absolute joke! Tried to complain, but the email addresses, listed online, are no longer in use. Very poor!

Matthew Smith

Visited the cafe for breakfast with my family and asked what Gluten-Free options they could do. All they offered was a brownie, and had no intention of making any attempt to serve a breakfast to someone who has to avoid gluten contamination. Three of us were not going to sit and eat full English with the one who could only have a brownie, so we left hungry.

wesley thorne

Updated Feb 2024 This is now the worst Sainsbury's 20 mins Ques on self checkouts, 1 staffed till on a Saturday afternoon, waiting ages for paracetamol to be authorised then they have the cheek to put a barrier with alarm in place and treat all their customers as criminals. Zero service shocking company. Big Sainsbury's in Bath, free parking but only for 90mins. Good range of gluten food. At time of review they are stocking gluten free Cornish pasties. Go past the entrance to the left and you will find local independent shops and stalls .

Debs Massey

Great food options for gluten free, clean and plentiful toilets
