Quick Check is our scan as you shop service. Using a handheld scanner, you scan each item as you take it from the shelves and pack as you go. When you have finished shopping, all that is left to do is pay at the Quick Check till, without having to unpack and re-pack your shopping. If paying using a debit, credit or account card you can save even more time by using Quick Pay. Quick Check is available in a number of branches. We will also supply special reusable bags to our partnership cardholders and Waitrose and John Lewis account card cardholders.

Rotisserie-cooked chickens are available in several sizes, portions and flavours. The range includes standard and large chickens, both available in halves and quarters. Try the garlic, BBQ or lemon flavoured chickens.
Roast duck, corn-fed rotisserie chickens, BBQ spare ribs and Cumberland sausage are available in some branches; please ask at the Rotisserie Counter.
On the meat counter, there are prime cuts of free range pork, Aberdeen Angus beef and Farmhouse lamb, as well as specialities such as rack of lamb.
Aberdeen Angus beef has been available from the Waitrose meat counter for more than 10 years and was chosen because it is a breed that is native to the UK. It is known for the marbling that appears in the meat. This marbling enables the meat to retain a higher level of succulent flavour and tenderness.
Visit our recipes section for hundreds of tasty meat dishes and meal ideas.
Choose from a delicious selection of cakes, tarts, biscuits and other temptations. Farmhouse, granary, wholemeal and speciality breads are just some of the breads available.

Waitrose Community Matters
Every month this branch will donate £1000 between three local good causes that you choose.
How does it work?
At the checkout you'll receive a token, which you then place in the box of the good cause you'd most like to support. The more tokens a cause gets, the bigger the donation they receive. You can also nominate good causes to be considered for the scheme in the future. Just pick up a leaflet in store for more information.
