Sainsbury's

This store is in a great location remember before this store and surrounding flats were even built. We have used the Car Park underneath twice with My Parking App....to leave the car overnight when staying at The Grand which works out so much cheaper than the NCP car parks in central Brighton and you feel the car is more secure. Great sized store.

Absolutely appalling experience at the Brighton Sainsbury’s yesterday evening (14th Nov, around half 6). Popped in with our 3-year-old and 5-month-old baby. The little one started crying her lungs out and obviously needed sorting straight away, we stopped near the scan and pay area (not even blocking it) to check on her. This older staff member, must’ve been late 50s at least, working there was having none of it. We apologised and said we just needed a minute to make sure our baby was alright. You should’ve seen his face, proper annoyed, shaking his head at us. He huffed and puffed his way around us to put some scanners back, making these irritated noises and muttering something under his breath. Couldn’t make out what he said but the tone said it all. The whole thing literally added one second to whatever he was doing. We weren’t in his way. Now, I don’t want to throw accusations around, but we’re Asian and given how put out he seemed by our very existence, I wouldn’t be shocked if there was more to it. Can’t prove anything but the hostility felt personal. Been shopping at Sainsbury’s for years but won’t be going back to this branch. My wife was really shaken up by it - you don’t treat people like that, especially parents with small children. We’ve told all our friends to give this place a hard miss. Management needs to have an immediate serious word. Someone with that attitude and zero compassion shouldn’t be dealing with customers. Really disappointed.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Easily the worst Sainsbury's I've ever been to (and that is a really low bar... we're talking Sainsbury's here). A joke of a selection of anything and everything. There's simply no food of any decent nutritional value there; on the other hand, it's stocked full of items with like >20% fat content or 100% sugar content. To be fair though, the staff are very polite. No complaints here at all.

The Argos click and collect is painful. Put your order number into a screen at child height to then stand around like a lemon for an unknown amount of time (at best 10 minutes at worst 25 minutes) whilst wondering if anyone is actually bringing the item out. Such fun

This supermarket is tidy and well-managed. I stopped to use the parking lot and buy a bottle of water. The restroom was clean, and the staff were friendly. Overall, it was a positive experience.

I saw how the store has helped tourists and workers in the area save money with their £3.75 Meal Deal! Friendly staff, too. Thank you for your service. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

A nice big supermarket with lots of different verities of stuff. Both food and non- food items

Heart of Brighton town centre with free 90 minutes parking facility , washroom , and outdoor space . Staffs are friendly and it was small shopping in between the journey from London to Brighton .

A member of staff held my basket whilst I was busy texting my mum. Too much information but I had a good experience.

I was shopping with my baby in the buggy today and went to self checkout to pay. Your staff member Kevin took me to a spacious end till and carried my basket for me and checked out the majority of my items being super helpful. Kevin also told me about all the new deals i'd get it I signed up to Nectar, so I did! Thanks Kevin!

It's slightly unexpected to find so large a supermarket in this area, but that's because it has been built as an integral part of the redevelopment just to the east of Brighton railway station, known as the 'New England Quarter'. This large, new development includes houses, flats, 2 hotels and student accommodation, and is planned to house over 1,000 people. Sainsbury's is the anchor store in the small pedestrianised shopping development, adjacent to the towering bulk of St Bartholemew's Church. The store itself is about as large as city centre stores get these days, with over 2,300m of retail space: included within the extensive grocery and fresh food sections are a delicatessen, Butchers, Fish Counter and Bakery, and it stocks most of Sainsbury's ethnic food ranges as well as items like CDs and DVDs, newspapers and magazines. Non-retail facilities include toilets (including disabled and baby-changing facilities), two cashpoints (ATMs) and an underground car park with 186 spaces, 12 disabled spaces and 12 parent-and-child spaces. The only thing it lacks is a cafe, but there are several close by. It's close to Brighton railway station but about 150 feet lower, so it's a bit of a trek back up again if you do a big shop. But nearby London Road has plenty of buses: routes 5, 5a, 5b, 21, 21b, 22, 37, 55, 56, 78, 79, 81, 81a, 81b and 86 stop within 2 minutes' walk.

Great supermarket , always fully stocked and clean , nice and friendly staff and good value for money

When it comes to supermarkets, I'm a Sainsbury's girl through and through. Although a socially-conscious voice in my head tells me to shop elsewhere, I can't always afford to, and besides, there is something strangely satisfying about the Sainsburys experience. I guess years of my parents shopping there has conditioned me, but I just don't think Morrisons or Tesco (evil anyway) cut the mustard! The shops are organized logically and the food is of a better quality. Despite singing the company's praises, I don't think this particular branch in the New England Quarter is THAT fabulous. Granted it's one of the smaller (without being a S'bury Local) stores, but they don't stock quite a few of my staples and they often seem to run out of veg items, particularly aubergines and broccoli! Maybe I'm just shopping at the wrong time, I don't know! The Lewes Rd store is far superior- they have a really impressive world foods section and just generally stock all the interesting bits and bobs (eg. felafels, tofu) that this branch lacks! If this shop is local to you and you don't need anything remotely unusual, then go for it- it is convenient and its smaller size means you're in and out pretty quickly. If like me, you prefer a greater choice, head to Lewes Rd!

Over the years I have remained an admirer of the professional expertise displayed by Sainsbury's staff; however, earlier this morning while I visited the Sainsbury' store in Billingshurst/Horsham (a store that is currently undergoing a remodeling) I unfortunately stumbled on their raised construction flooring area. I politely pointed out to the manager of the store that they may consider rectify their flooring issues as passing senior citizens may experience a similar mishap. The store manage was utterly unwilling to consider my suggestion and un-politely dismissed my request. Sadly I will never again visit the Sainsbury' store in Billingshurst again and I suggest that all senior citizens and those that maybe in frail health, walk carefully as they attend the store- during Sainsbury's remodelling process.

This store is in a very useful place for anyone without a car in 7dials area. I find it a great attraction for the ailing London road. Even though its old shop space is boarded up this area needed a better quality superstore. I don't want to slag of other stores in London road but Sainsbury's is a bit better than thats on offer. I find around 5pm the store starts to down price lots of meats/veg. So a bargain can be made! There is also carparking.

THIS IS A RANT REVIEW. Just been into this store. Never really visit it because it's not that close to me compared to other supermarkets. NOT happy. Just been served by the rudest cashier in history. Let me just get something straight... I want to make it crystal clear. I'm a nice sociable person. I'll talk to anyone mind. In fact, I quite often enjoy having a bit of causal chit chat. So much so that last night , popped into Asda, got served by a lovely older women called Pam. Pam was full of life, despite her age - not sure if it's legal to employee her, nonetheless... I was telling her all about my steamer that was also a tuppa wear box, we both agreed how much of a bargain was and that it would be good with salmon. Then we joked about how the card machine wasn't contactless, and what perhaps would be the next step! Perhaps eye scanning? *insert copyright * You can tell that I really enjoyed my experience with Pam because I have very fond memories of her. Hence why I feel it was crucial to mention all of the above. Because I'll tell you what. I didn't get served by a lovely sociable Pam. I got served by a grumpy, grunty, gloomy cashier Graham. I'm in two minds to write to head office. I know it sounds really dramatic and I think the way animals are treated and the meat industry itself is pretty horrendous and there is much we don't know I'm sure... But I felt like a pig or a sheep on a conveyer belt ready to be slaughtered... No welcome, no care, no acknowledgement, no human or redeeming qualities, he scanned my items as if he was having a race against time, so I was struggling to keep up and put them in my bag. NOT needed, this is not Formula meets cashier, this is a row your boat down the river pace. I mean he already lost points when he didn't greet me but I just thought, you know what I'll give you the benefit of the doubt - he looked pretty dead to be honest, no colour to his face an all, cot death look. But when he started to throw my shopping at the end of the cashier desk I just thought your having a laugh now. Then.. If your anything like me, I like to get rid of change. So I paid some cash and some card.. Well I purposed that idea to him. Graham looked at me as if I'd just shot his bloody grandma and her precious cat. It was obviously an issue for him. But he proceeded to do as I requested because I just gave him the cash assertively and said thank you - with a fake smile. We've all been there. THEN. He processed my card payment, £2. Ironically... THEN asked me for my nectar card. To which I literally laughed out loud. I was like, right... Yeah aren't you supposed to ask me before? No point in scanning it for £2. I SPENT £15!!!!! That's at least 8points. I just thought, your a joker, honestly what a joker...you get one thing right about your job but you do it wrong... Ironic! Right now I'm nearly done. FYI,.., he didn't say thanks or have a good day... PAM did! So, I was just finishing putting all my items in my bag and putting my card alway. Usually the cashier would wait right? Yeh. Too much to ask for him. He decided to do the formular one trick, let's see how many items I can throw down the cash desk at the speed of light. So this poor women after me in the queue was standing helpless and way behind her packing because I was still in the way. So I just thought, I ain't having that. So I said... Listen now, if you'd just wait for 2mins and stop rushing then I'll be gone and this women will be able to pack accordingly. I stared him straight in the eye through gritted teeth. Like honestly I saw red!!! He actually apologised and then said have a good day when I walked off... What a idiot.

This is a quite small Sainsbury's, but it is far superior to any of the other supermarkets in London Road. What makes the shopping so enjoyable in this branch, is not the availability of produce, but the exceptionally helpful and polite staff. They also are very knowledgeable, and always do their utmost to help you. At the checkout, the staff remember you, chat and are very pleasant. This is million miles away from the rude staff at the old London Rd store (just as bad as the old Co-op department store.). Also find the quality of produce is far better than Tesco/Asda etc. Some really good bread in the bakery (not as good mrs Raven in Fiveways, but who could compete with that!). Check out the ethnic section where tinned tomatoes, spices and rice are at a fraction of the price compared to the regular aisles .

The New England Quarter - or the back of the train station as it's more commonly known - boasts a number of shops, houses and apartment complexes. Supplying the food to the locals and those from further a field is Sainsbury's. I used to regualry shop here when I lived on Beaconsfield Road, but unfortunately I am no longer a local resident, so I have been relegated to the massive Tesco in Hove. I much prefer Sainsbury's - I think the products are better quality, the stores less cluttered and laid out in a more logical fashion. This store is no exception: it is clean, has plenty of staff around to help and some great offers. You are able to do one big shop here per week, fortnightly, or monthly, depending on your preference. This ultimately saves you time and money, which is kind of the point right?! I also know that Preston of Celebrity Big Brother and Ordinary Boys fame is a shopper here (I saw him with my own eyes!), so what better seal of approval can you ask for?

I trekked up here after Halloween, feeling suitably hungover and the worst for wear. As you'd expect with a sainsburys, the range of products, and the quality of products is good, though I personally don't like buying items such as vegetables and fruits from supermarkets, as I find they seem to go off far too quickly. Everything you could possible want can be found in here, including a good selection of ready meals.

This store is off London Road, but I get to it from the station. London Road really depresses me, I don't go there if I can possibly avoid it. The entrances are multiple - one onto the pedestrian street that borders the front, one onto a pedestrian cut through, and another is an escalator down to the parking. One great aspect of the transport links - in the side hall (opening onto the cut through) it has links to the electronic information on buses provided by the bus company - so if I know my bus is going to be at my stop in 12 minutes, I know not to dawdle, or I'll wait another half an hour. It is huge, the stock level is excellent and the service is pretty good, especially considering that its such a new store - they must have had to train huge numbers of new staff to get this up and running. Its breathing life back into the area, along with other investment, its very welcome.

I am shocked that I have just been charged £50 to park in their car park for 2hours and 48 minutes. My understanding was you have to have a minimum spend to use their car park for free - which I duly did. But I still got charged £50 to be able to get out of the car park. Where has the decency gone in this world?

I really wish I wasn't dependent on supermarket chains but the convenience of such a large amount of items in one place and the inevitably cheaper prices make it hard to avoid them when your busy and strapped for cash. This is the largest Sainsbury's in Brighton so if you are faithful to this giant chain then this is the place for you. As these supermarkets go this one does its job very well. It has a bakery section with excellent fresh baked organic loaves and a selection of cakes. There is a small fish counter and deli counter both of which are ok. It has all your usual basics as well as a decent fruit and veg section with a fair amount of organic to choose from. There is a small row of indian ingredients and opposite it a section of fancier items- expensive olives, dried fruit..etc and a good stock of gluten free and vegan items. The staff are very friendly and the queues move pretty quickly when busy. There are clean customer toilets and a plastic bag recycling box.
