Somerfields Reviews

Somerfield isn't my usual choice of supermarket but I've found myself visiting the Somerfield store near to where I work to grab a few essentials before jumping on the bus home. On my first visit, I was a tad disappointed as the store is small and a lot of the products were quite expensive. That said, I'm gradually being converted and have found ...

Before our store changed itself to a Tesco a month or so ago, we used to have a Somerfield right across the road. Shopping in it every day meant I got quite used to their products. The shop is well laid out with sign posted aisles. These are broken into sections such as Fruit & Veg, Dairy, tins and packets, breads, cakes and ...

Somerfields is the chain of supermarket whihc has lost the most market share in UK in the last 10 years, and this does not surprize me at all. Staff are poorly trained, although they seem to make an effort. Recently I was shopping at my local branch and 5 minutes before the closure of the supermarket the security guy thouoght nothing of ...

Somerfield's mission statement is to be 'Britain's favourite grocery store'. It is far from that, as I am employee I consider myself to have a very detailed knowledge of this company. Firstly staff morale is at on all time low, with rumours flourishing of a takeover by the co-op no attempt has been made to reassure staff that they will ...

Somerfield is an English supermarket chain and had a 3.8% share of the UK Grocery Market in 2007. It was first founded in 1875 in Bristol and has recently bought 140 Texaco fuel stations. I've never been particularly keen on Somerfield, finding the trolleys in bad condition, the aisles a bit dirty and the shops generally a bit ...

I do like somerfield as it seems different to other supermarkets - smaller and more friendly? They offer great deals sometimes such as two for one on essentials yet also offer good things at christmas such as boxes of chocolates at really good prices. May be their choice is not as great as some of the better-known supermarkets but ...

When I do my weekly shopping, I get into my car, drive five minutes up the hill to my nearest Tesco, then drive back down, hoping for a parking space. It is a bit of a chore, but has to be done, and done regularly, too. Now then, I live three doors away from a decent sized Somerfield. So, the question is: why go through the rigours of a Tesco ...

Somerfields are in my view a budget supermarket with poor quality, apart from few good bargains. They are a supermarket and are progressively losing premises in UK, and customers too. There are few good things at Somerfields. The products they sell themselves, those which are market Somerfields, some time offer good value, ...

I have just read a review to say that they thought somerfields was good to shop. I tend to differ the somerfield local to me is very dear they put up their prices if there is no compertition ie no other suppermarkets in the town, so people have no choice but to shop there. There are not enought staff, and what there is are mainly very ...

I do not shop regularly at Somerfields, but I do visit the local shore from time to time. I like Somerfield for their branded products, particularly their toothpaste, which is extremely cheap and a good product, and their canned peaches. I find that the quality of meat is awful, to say the least, I feel disgusted by the meat ...

In the town I live in there are 3 main supermarkets, Somerfield just down the road from my house, Tesco a 10 minute walk, and Morrisons about a half hour walk. I'd love to be able to shop at Morrisons all the time but as I don't drive it's not a feasible option, so I generally shop at Tesco as frankly I think Somerfield is rubbish. I only go to ...

Tesco is my choice supermarket, but I must admit that I also shop at Somerfields and I do not think it is as bad as many people think. First of all, Somerfields have a good range of products they produce themsleves, and they are very cheap and good value for money, just to give you few examples, a tasty tomato soup for 20 p,same price ...

I don't tend to stick to one supermarket, I like to shop around, but I do regularly go to Somerfield, just because it is the nearest supermarket to me. My local store actually used to be a Kwik-Save, until it (like many other branches around the country) was taken over by Somerfield a year or so ago. I don't live in the most affluent of areas, and ...

The few times I make the mistake of visiting the Somerfields nearest to my home (it happens on my way back home, when I come back by bus) I have always arrived at home a bit depressed. Somerfields is depressing. Let's put it simply. The quality of the groceries is something to rival Poland in the early 70s and the people who ...

Somerfield is the supermarket I use the most often but this is not by choice, just by location. It often run out of meats such as chicken and beef, and when it does have these meats, they are often nearly twice the price of similar meats in other supermarkets. Its fruit and veg is also not of a good quality and is limited in range. Its ...

I felt compelled to write this review after visiting Tesco and being truly amazed by the service, the staff and generally excellent layout. The only problem is that I live next door to Somerfield's and the nearest Tesco is a 30 minute drive away. I have little choice in where I can shop and this is often a problem when I require ingredients for ...

Somerfield is one of my favourite shops. I am glad to go to this store for any reason and anytime. Somerfield stores are wide open, spacious and convenient, well organised, well equipped and well staffed. Somerfield offer all kind of everyday basics of their own brand. They also have items from other reputed brands. ...

Chapel Allerton, Leeds

Poor range of produce,frequently out of stock items, hardly any organic produce, un-trained staff, que's, rubbish service.
Failure to meet the needs of the local residents of which there has been a big change in the last few years.
How, do they make a profit ?
Ship out boys, lets have an M&Spencer

have got a small somerfields in Pocklington, Yorks. We use it rarely, manager never to hand ,out of stock a lot of the time and the reason I was drawn to write this reveiw was that my husband, on buying a valentine card, was asked to pay a further 10p for an envelope!!!!!!!!!. I feel like Victor Meldew, I CANNOT BELIEVE IT .Is this a new policy, ...
