I always thought Waitrose was premier for their quality products over Easter. I bought a lamb pacifically from Waitrose because it was English. I could’ve gone to Sainsbury’s and bought a lamb from Sainsbury’s but it was New Zealand I had my family over for Easter when I cooked the lamb in the oven, a terrible smell, of old lamb Are used to be a consistent customer. Gradually I go there for less and less products. I have now realised that Sainsbury’s who are used to look down my nose that they sell loads of organic Produce which are a fraction of the price of Waitrose. I don’t mind paying a good premium for good products, but unfortunately Waitrose have gone down the pan

I did an online grocery order- from a cruise ship! I got the dates wrong and I wasn’t going to be home when my order delivered. I phoned my local store who told me not to worry- my groceries hadn’t gone out yet so they would be put back in the store. I don’t think I would have got that level of care and service from any other supermarket, Well done and thank you Waitrose!

I picked up a Waitrose recipe card for ‘seasonal’ Seville orange marmalade. I bought the specially selected Seville oranges in its own bag. It’s the first time I’ve attempted to make marmalade. The outcome was a triumph. It was delicious and perfect. Well done Waitrose!

Having returned from Tuscany I wanted to treat my friends to the wonderful Brunello wine. I bought a Val di Suga Brunello 2016 from Waitrose at £29.99. I let it air properly before . The wine tasted nothing at all like the Brunellos I had been drinking. Perhaps that might be expected but it was truly awful, acidic, limp with a terrible aftertaste. If tasted like a cheap red wine . What a disappointment. This is not a wine I would recommend buying. We couldn’t even finish it that’s how bad it was.
