Carpark a nightmare, they had to take down a big wall 'cause cars kept hitting it. Waitrose refuse to share their safety audit prior to build of basement carpark! Never go again.

The one that looks like a cross between a shop, a health centre and a block of flats ( possibly because it is ) ? :-) Is that the one on the Stockbridge road ?

Good to hear it's opened, I went to Romsey yesterday to do my shopping!! and just in time for my move to San Francisco...... I think your review covers every Waitrose in the country :-)

I preferred them to Waitrose deliver as they regularly send you discount vouchers and had very competitive 'tesco pricematch' prices, as well the majority of Waitrose own-brand products.
