Don't force people to use the cattle farm chaotic self checkout then treat them like criminals having to prove their purchase if they want to get out of the scrum after the harrowing experience. Can't wait for Lidl to open for some civilised customer service!

Shop savvy, use your nectar card and scan as you go to watch your spending. Some decent prices too.

I was on holiday nearby and found the opportunity to top up on our usual shopping very helpful.Oddly the car parking spaces are very thin. Ideal for a small Toyota Yaris, but not for my family car.

Typical Sainsburys local. Clean and nicely laid out. Good for a quick shop or to find something basic that you've run out of or forgot. It's not a full sized supermarket though so you should be prepared to substitute or compromise if you can't find the exact product. Staff are friendly and efficient and there's hardly ever a queue to pay but if there is, it will move quickly.

Google seems to be insisting I review my trip so here goes:When Google first notified me that a review was necessary, I had forgotten I'd even stepped in the said shop but on searching my grey matter I did indeed visit the large store! I stopped by following a trip to Sheffield to drop my daughter to University for the first time in order to buy strong booze since a massive feeling of bereavement surged through me at the time.I wasted no time to select a 750ml bottle of Famous Grouse Scottish whisky, a bottle of soda water and an orange to make myself an Old Fashioned cocktail. It was all easy to find. The alcohol was indeed more than adequate. The store itself however was rather littered by trolleys driven by staff stocking shelves. Mind you it was 2245 on a Saturday night.I opted to pay for my items (on card) via a traditional checkout lane since I'd be age checked anyway on the self service area and there didn't seem many members of staff around to do this since they were all engaged in the aisles.The checkout supervisor was very slow but pleasant and professional. Probably beyond retirement age, she was polite and adequately carried out her duties but I did have to wait approximately 90 seconds more than expected. This was no issue and it wasted literally the same amount of seconds of thoughts during the short journey home concerning why she was still working (has to/ wants to).Overall uninspiring but not overly expensive or bothersome. Parking good.Male 5 foot 11. Will Google leave me in peace now?

Shopping was good as we're the products and produce but oh dear!! what a long wait of over 20 minutes to get my trolley through the checkout. Many customers waiting (at least 8)for the lone checkout guy!

I find it absolutely astounding, that the queues for the customer service desk at Ferndown are allowed to become so very long, with only one staff member in attendance. This is a frequent occurrence, people spending long time returning items, when one just wants a packet of cigarettes. There are two terminals for staff, yet only the one is used. No doubt this is a cost cutting exercise which I find entirely unacceptable.

Great local supermarket, reasonable prices and decent selection, however not quite as good as other Sainsbury's stores in the area.

Excellent car parking and a good sized store with bakery , hot food clothing,household etc. The shelves aren't well stocked but meat selection is still good. Tills are usually well staffed but like all stores it has its queues at times. Prices are high but so is everywhere else. Quality is usually good even on their cheap brands.

Wonderful day out. Never been before. Great experience!

For several years I have enjoyed this supermarket, and also purchased other things than food and drink. However the men's clothing section has slowly reduced to the point of losing my interest. One point I cannot forgive is the shameful withdrawal of own brand goods during the TEMPORARY absence of a local competitor whom I will adopt on the reopening. Bye bye Sainsbury.

Quality, reasonable prices under present restrictions, excellent staff service.1 negative comment; lack of staff causing frustrating queues at individual checkout units for older customers preference.
