online shopping was a complete nightmare, they need to update their admin emails as they send you completely the wrong place in the store, then a rude member of staff starts telling you its your problem! there were a couple of understandin staff members but this needs to drastically change since you pay through the nose to be handling grief when it's supposed to make it easier!!...

Interesting way to enter both Waitrose and John Lewis which seemed to confuse some people. John Lewis had a few people in over the two floors so social distancing wasn't difficult and everyone that I saw was masked up which was good, they prefer card payments so be warned! The lift to the first floor was limited to family or bubbles for each trip but as the store wasn't too busy it wasn't a problem. Waitrose was busier and given the food aisles it was a little more difficult to social distance but again, everyone including staff were masked. The shelves were well stocked so we were able to find what we needed quickly and self service tills were available, card only, so our trip was brief.... Read more

Thought I would try Waitrose for my food shop yesterday (just for a change of scenery). It was all very sensible, i was given a cleaned trolley on arrival, no queuing, lots of lovely fresh fruit & veg. But, the man on the meat & fish counter really made my day. He was so happy, helpful & genuinely interested in his job. He was full of advice regarding the products even down to sharing a recipe with me. So refreshing in the current situation to even have someone pass the time of day with me. I will definitely return to this store.... Read more

This refers to the cafe, not the store. Went for breakfast yesterday. Poor experience..... on arrival - dirty trays. Followed by dirty tables. Every single table had coffee rings on. Every one. Like a truck stop roadside cafe. This is a waitrose?? Food was cold. Toast was rock solid (even a steak knife wouldn't get through it). No atmosphere. No background music. Over priced, small portions. Been here a few times and it's always poor. Staff are friendly and its not their fault. I blame lack of management.... Read more

The cashier was a grumpy teenager who didn't want to be there and didn't speak a word to me (I didn't count the grunt). The only thing that saved them from a 1 star review was the excellent range of craft beers! Avoid this store unless you've a lot of time on your hands and like awful customer service.... Read more

Two ladies servicing. 4 people in queue. So slow. One lady behind till was struggling to read anything. Looks like she forgot her glasses. Waited and waited so slow, so gave up and walked out.

A combined Waitrose and John Lewis situated on the Futura retail park in Ipswich.
Parking can often be difficult given the popularity of the store and the retail park it is on. The car park does have chargers for electric cars.
The stores are well designed and the staff are friendly.
Can we more expensive for branded items compared to the other big chains, but the quality of its own brand is very good.... Read more

I shop here quite often because there's a good variety of organic vegetables and they do half shin bones which my dog loves!
The only disappointment is the cafe upstairs. I've had too many bad experiences to continue using it. The service is unfriendly. The staff don't seem to know what they are doing. You can't even get such a thing as a flat white coffee (2 shots with a little hot milk!) and its unbearably slow. The last time and my final time, it took 3 staff to serve one woman whilst about 20 of us were waiting to be served. In my opinion the cafe spoils the experience of a visit to Waitress and John Lewis.... Read more

Not enough staff in the cafe/restaurant. The staff member was working at great speed and efficiency. But the queue was constantly growing. Even when the staff in the kitchen were asked to help him they had to decline as they were not trained up
Other customers told me it was often like today's wait.I too have experienced this unacceptable level of staffing.I have in the past spoken to a manager several months ago.Nothing has changed. Stock is often low no matter what time of day and the staff are under so much unnecessary pressure

Waitrose itself is expensive. But with expensive comes quality and customer service unmatchable in cheaper alternatives. But for me, the selling factor that makes waitrose more desirable is the café, full of delicious cakes and a quality meal, both the icing and cherry on top of all this being the free coffee you get with said meal.
If you're after an all-round good shopping experience and quality of product, waitrose is the most reliable chain for that.... Read more

The service is never what is advertised. People who want free coffee take priority over people needing to be served at the customer service desk. Man in front of me said he needed cash back, it didn't look like she had much so she got it out of her colleagues till. To help I prewarned her I'd need some too. The man you 40 cash back. I wanted their limit is 50.the ladies switched tills it was time for me to be served,iasked for cash back,she said I could have 20. I looked at her and said right? But, that man just took 40? She paused and went, OK well, you can have 40 then! As if I just asked to have her right hand!!! Same poor service every week. In contrast moved office this week, nearer to m&s first time going in there the lady on the till was amazing and I felt like they were rolling out the red carpet for me! And it was 5 minutes to closing time! ... Read more

Poor stock levels of certain items, especially when there are offers. These are not items that are fresh and need to be sold the same day but long shelf life items. It seems they're unable to anticipate extra sales for items on offer. I get more or less the same items every week and I still have to complete my weekly shop elsewhere to get items they've run out of. Staff are simply unable to do anything about it, even though they know this. I don't bother telling them any more, I just go elsewhere!... Read more
