Co-op Food - Brundall - 49-53 The Street - Norwich

Not a happy chappy. Been busy all day building boats, late working to finish a deadline only to find the shop closed parts of its store and would not reopen as it was nearly quarter to 10 in the evening. Had to drive to the next coop store for the items needed, admittedly only a quarter of a mile up the street. It would seem they are being paid way too much in salary and do not need the money to stay employed. Was refused service at 2140 on the goods behind the counter as they closed it. Managed to find good service only a few yards up the same street for items needed.

Very convenient store with a very good selection of essential items and some luxury items too. There is a post box and ATM machine and also a post office separate to the side of the store (not the same opening hours as the shop). Mostly reasonable prices but some things are a bit more expensive such as fresh meat. The parking is a bit tricky but there's a small free car park just down the road.

Great range of everyday groceries, frozen foods and fresh goods. They also sell pet foods, alcohol, tobacco, newspapers and magazines.
A great place to grab a quick snack or do a more substantial food shop.
Some items at full price can be quite expensive but the offers they have on are always really good.
I often use this shop for top up shopping, and it also has the added benefit of the post office next door.
Parking can be a bit of a nightmare as you have to pull out onto a road, and it always seems to be busy. At times I have had to park across the road down a side street.
The disabled bays are pretty useless, one only has extra room one side so if your passenger is the disabled person they will still find it difficult to get out (reversing in is not much of an option when you're coming off a main road), and the other disabled bay is usually occupied by a large 4x4 of some sort because they are too large to fit in a normal bay.
The shop itself is great, and the atm outside is another plus, but the space for parking is not good. Unfortunately they can't really improve this as there just isn't space to.

This is a nice coop with everything you would need to keep you going for the day or even shopping to keep you going for the week. There is plenty of things to chose from. The staff are nice and friendly the only down side to this shop is that the staff that are on the tills are very very slow and the que to pay can get quite large with the staff on the till reluctant to call for more staff to help questions bust. The shop is clean and I would use again should I need to

I never used to shop in the Co-op, thinking it'd be too expensive but as usual I was pleasantly surprised. I'd only popped in for a few last minute doggy things and got some bargains - baker's biscuits on offer, own brand treats at a good price and discounts on pedigree treats. Very happy, plus I got a reduced (end of the day reduction) bag of side veg for 38p!

Review mainly regarding Covid 19 safety rules -
I was shopping instore today and horrified to see a lady customer wearing her mask around her chin, she also handled many items before putting them back on shelves..Staff members walked past her repeatidily but didnt pull her up on this, there were tanoids reminding customers that that would not be allowed instore without wearing masks properly, yet no one thought to tell this lady, who obviously was aware as once in the queue to pay, pulled her mask up properly!

Also the one way isles are obviously meant to be helpful regarding covid 19 but are too narrow so people squeeze past each other so not really working.
One good point - Checkout lady was friendly and welcoming. Good range of products.

Clean, bright and well stocked. As with other Co-Op stores and compared to the likes of Tesco or ASDA, the prices are higher, but the quality is good. Their Brundish bacon is particularly good. An easy walk from the various boatyards and marinas in the Brundall area. Friendly staff too.

Clean shop, friendly staff, but we have purchased much more elsewhere for what we spent in here. But at least it's local. And if there is no parking outside there is a small car park about a hundred yards away that is free to park in.
