"Parking is free and plentiful unlike other Sainsbury's in the nearby towns. Also this branch has a petrol station that is competitively priced. Large store so good selection across most product lines."

"Difficult to park even upstairs before 7pm also free to park after 7pm (no ticket required) or restricted to 30 minutes with pay and display free ticket."

"Easy to park but fuel is 2p a litre dearer than the Basildon branch. Costa coffee bar upstairs at the far end just before Tesco café."

"Usual selection of bits for a metro store but not the full range. So good for milk, bread, cupboard fillers and regular vegetables etc. More expensive than bigger stores but open later and local."

"Starbucks regular blend is always good, speciality blends on offer from time to time for an extra charge, free if you reach Gold status in the Starbucks club. Fast service at Sheldon Square."

"I much prefer Starbucks blend to other high street chains. Yes most staff are friendly, Alba especially stands out from all others, the service is painfully slow even when no queue."
