Tesco Extra

Friendly staff, always happy to help you. Great range of items for people on a budget.

I was here today to get my phone sorted the battery was not fully charging up I had only had it since last June so I said could I get another one it wasn’t going long enough before next charge any way there was a fault so they give me a new phone lol
Its a good deal really unfortunately I don’t have a club card I did ask for one months back but no joy anyway I’m not really a regular at any supermarkets
I come and go to which ever I happened to be passing
It is quite busy here at this one mind its a super store one they have almost everything (or not) :-)
There’s a café and clothes department chemist, electrics, music, DVD and of course food as I said almost everything ‚
I couldn’t find anything that I was looking for though after I got my phone sorted, so its OK I’ll go to another, Ta’ra

This is a very large Tesco, definitley one of the largest in the local area.
Last time I was here in September, I was outraged and reduced to tears by the amount of gluten free items, still on shelves way past their cell-​by date, but I decided to call here while shopping at Costco to see if they stock any of the new gluten free foods which are so hard to get even though Tesco have released them.
As this Tesco is so bad, you have to go up through escalator like machines from the underground car park into the store, which is actually over 2 floors, with a huge clothing section, a café and electronics being located above all your standard groceries.
I didn’t notice any out of date items on my visit today, although I didn’t have a close look at the section in question.
This store is probably one of the biggest in the UK, I like to say about this store «It sells 99 percent of all Tesco products» and honestly with it’s size, it is hard to doubt my comment.
They is a Petrol Station for this Tesco, which is near enough across the road, nearby include lots of shops and franchises including Dominos and Subway.
I feel 3 stars is very fair for this store as it is one of the biggest Tesco’s in the UK and stocks some products all the other local stores don’t. I don’t want to increase this rating yet until I have thoroughly inspected the cell-​by dates on non-​frozen free from items.

I do love this supermarket and there is everything from electricals to clothing to food. Everything under one roof.
The car park is HUGE so you have a choice on where to park.
The only problem I have is that although most staff are helpful I am finding the younger ones on the tills a tad rude, they don’t aknowledge you and sit turning their heads to shout across and have a conversation with the someone else on another till. Once there was an employee speaking very ill of his supervisor infront of others and the customers, swearing etc.
