The Highbury Corner littleWaitrose Just Gets Better

It’s now got goat’s milk and St. Peter’s beer and look at these two images of their free-from shelves.

It’s certainly a better selection than some of their bigger stores, with a very good selection from their range of gluten free products, like biscuits, cakes and bread.

The only products I can’t get are things that are heavy with a long shelf life, like beer and cleaning products, but I get those delivered from the Waitrose at the Angel, after buying them in-store. Incidentally, I haven’t used on-line shopping for groceries since I moved here.

A further point, is that later tonight, I checked the High Holborn littleWaitrose and the goods stocked and the layout of the Free From area, appeared to be the same or virtually so.

If this is a policy, I like it, as it means I can pick up a snack by just asking where the shelves are located. Assuming of course, that they haven’t run out.

So what would I change in a perfect world.

1. Waitrose usually has the EatNatural breakfast museli with buckwheat, whereas I prefer theone with vine fruit and have to buy it from Sainsburys.

2. The St. Helen’s Farm Goats Milk Yoghurt is not available in littleWaitroses.

3. There is no gluten-free beer in littleWaitroses.  But I get those in once a month with the toilet cleanser.

In other words, I can live with that. But just as the goats milk has now turned up, I feel that if too many complain, adjustments to the stocking policy will happen.
