Waitrose & Partners

Truly excellent supermarket that is actually more than a shop - close to a restaurant, and more. Great food. Lots of drinks. Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff. Not cheap, but not very expensive either.

It's a Waitrose, so you know what you are going to get. In other words, naughty (expensive) but nice.

It's a big store, and surprisingly not busy, probably because of the closure of the Botley Road, which will be closed for a long time for long term roadworks. Only accessable by car from the A34 I think.

Free parking and you can tell It's posh, as you don't have to pay the usual £1 deposit for a trolley.

One of the well managed n great store in the area .
From entrance you get to se bunches of beautiful flowers to choose from . Then you get a huge huhe variety of home use products from across the globe to choose from . Stored is well organised n maintained in different sections . Also ther is a coffee shop inside as well as outside the store to wait if another member is shopping .
For upto starting 2 hours parking is free after that you have to pay the charges .
Recommended!!

Friendly, helpful staff. A nice range of plants. We also wanted to buy a house warming gift, surprisingly there was a lot on offer to choose from. Excellent choice of wine and flavoured gins too.

Great store every thing really nice super staff very good advert for the brand

A good supermarket. Nice and quiet on Wednesday morning at 8:00. A bit busier Monday after lunch but still no queuing. A good range of food. Good lot of reduced price products. More offers on now. Usually has everything we need.

there are loads of brands and variety to choose from, awesome

The fishmonger was fantastic, he advised on the best way to bake the trout and wrappped it all nice. Would deffo recommend!

Having so much unpacked, and having refill stations is amazing!

Excellent service. I was having some trouble making a Deliveroo order for this Waitrose because the out of stock items weren't reflected on the Deliveroo website. Alex, the shop's Deliveroo contact, was extremely helpful on the phone by letting me know what alternative products were available and making sure I got what I needed, as well as a complimentary item for the inconvenience. Would order from again.

Easy to shop with plenty of choice in pleasant surroundings and easy blue badge holders parking. Each visit is so civilized with fewer customers than others.

Huge selection of items to choose.
There's also a cafe which is nice too.
Staff are very friendly and it's not too overwhelming with people.

Staff very helpful easy parking bit of trip but worth it. shelving has go up latly.

Did not have to queue for long & was very pleased with what I brought. A very cheery & positive ambience. Managers clearly know what they are doing. Wendy Cunning is an outstanding manager who really works hard & leads by example. Naomi has a phenomenal work ethic & is clearly management material who has the talent & application to rise as far as she wants to career wise at Waitrose. Sam is exceedingly thoughtful, hard working & has an incredibly bright future ahead of him. I know plenty of folk who shop here regularly & my late mother Sheenagh Reynolds was a massive fan of all things Waitrose. My Dad loves the cafe - especially the All Day Breakfasts which are exceptionally good value for money. The layout is very impressive & products are easy to find and there are always polite, intelligent & welcoming staff who are eager to help customers in need of assistance. All in all it was a huge blessing when Waitrose opened on the Botley Road - even the car parking is free !

Spacious store with two cafes, and the seasonal section is good.

I dont usually shop at Waitrose but tried it out on opening, I loved it. The staff were so nice and helpful and everything was displayed well. I joined up to membership card and got my free coffee and paper (on spending £5) my partner and I love the restaurant, the food beats all the other chain restaurants and the presentation is very good. Others have mentioned the car park, but I must say I have not had any problem with the car park, getting in or out and have always found a space. Excellent.

Good environment and you don’t need to pay for parking. The staff in the wine zone was very friendly and has given us very good advice, and even tried to find some bargain for us, unfortunately one of the wines we bought was too old, although expensive, that you feel like buying lottery hoping the wine in the bottle you chose is still ok. Fortunately, the customer services are very good, they refund us the old wine and let us to try the lottery again for free (choose another bottle). The unpacked fruit and veg are a surprise, although I didn’t see too much point as you still need plastic bag to pack, unless the plastic bag they provide are bio-material, easy décomposable ?

Very good supermarket. Although very pricy on several products but what I do like about this shop is that they have very good quality products. That's why I don't mind to pay extra sometime for something good. Very often I have find out that waitrose or Ms are much cheaper on some products than tesco or sainsbury and etc. I will definitely will go back for more stuff. Plus you guys have very nice and friendly staff who are working so hard to deliver the best service to its customers 👍

One of the finest and most elite supermarket chains. Although significantly pricier than other UK supermarkets, the excellent quality and large collection of items justify the price.
In addition to the usual supermarket stuffs, the in-house Sushi, Meat and food products are good. The collection of fruits and vegetables is larger than other supermarkets in Oxford.
Due to Covid, they have a limit on number of customers that can be inside the premises at one time. Therefore, the waiting time and the queues often tend to be longer on weekends.

Clean and well stocked; nice café, recently reopened (April 2022). Good range of organic food, and a zero waste section where you can fill your own containers from larger dispensers of things like pasta, cereals rice and coffee as well as frozen fruit. Super helpful staff. You can pick up John Lewis online orders here, and also return JL and Boden orders.
