Your Local - Shopping around Wantage

It was my first time and Lucy to was really lovely. She gave me lots of options with my hair and made sure I was happy. Lovely hair cut experience in a nicely presented salon. Their late evening opening is great for working life too no recommend.

Had eyelash extensions done. Very pleased with the results. Staff were very friendly and polite.

Best place in wantage for getting your hair done

Really nice and very good value for money.

Great service and friendly staff. Worth every penny. 💇

A very special little bookshop! All the books you need; AND hats and antiques too!!! Lovely place!

A good choice of books, not big enough to be comprehensive, but all very interesting ones, hard to choose. Some rather good hats too!

Fantastic place to meet up with friends, food is good and staff very friendly

Nice food and good place for a peaceful coffee

Excellent bookshop. Very fairly priced books from 1700s until now. Seperate sections make this ideal for browsing. Owners are very knowledgeable and will suggest a good read.

Best shop ive ever seen! You may need a few hours :)

Very helpful staff I always go there for all bits needed for my car and van

Great guys and helpful. Fully recommend.

Excellent service genuine honest and reliable too

One of very few Garage businesses left that put the customer before profit. Top quality service and repairs by people you can trust not to rip you off.

Always helpful.

Excellent customer service. Thank you.

Helpful happy staff, would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a new car

Good traditional petrol station and garage

Reasonably priced fuel.

Sells petrol. Brilliant!

Cheep for a garage. And they do coffee!

Small independent petrol station. Prices for fuel are reasonable.

It's ok,

Never been disappointed with the service offered here. Always had supply of every fuel and prices are lower than other providers in the town. The staff are welcoming and always offer a chat where possible. The store inside stocks all the necessary essentials at a fair price which is ideal as the petrol station is open until 11 pm every day of the week which makes it one of the last shops to close in the town. Ideal for emergency situations. It has also gained a cash machine in recent years which is helpful in place of pay at pump facilities offered elsewhere.

A petrol station but always competitively priced and always busy esp yesterday Easter Sat. At least 2p a litre cheaper than the rival one up the road and near my favourite shops and Sainsbury, with the lovely cafe and staff

Cleaned my carbs. Good price, no problems. Would definitely use them again.

Tried them and was pleased with the friendly and helpful service. I will always take my motorbike to them.

I booked my car in for an MOT and oil change, which they accommodated me with short notice. The price was competitive and they did exactly what they said they would! Pleasant and friendly bunch of guys, all round great experience!!

Rewelacyjny sklep i super Pani menager. Odbierałem kiedyś ubrania z tego sklepu, pracując w firmie recyklingowej. Pozdrawiam z Polski

Worth a visit .very well run shop good cause .

Friendly staff with well organised cloths

Busy small pharmacist with easy parking and helpful colleague's.

This is probably the friendliest place in the village. The staff are always welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. If they don't stock a particular item they will try and source it. The pharmacists are helpful and willing to offer advice. There is a small waiting area with seats. They provide a free home delivery service for prescriptions.

Lovely store and owner. Went in with our new born today and couldn't be more welcomed by the owner. A great range of clothes and toys in a small space

I am a big fan of this shop and staff are really nice and help out loads . I would suggest getting more staff like the ones you have they are amazing keep going new look! X

Lovely little boutique selling a great range of clothing and accessories (especially if you are looking for a stand out necklace). Staff are friendly and helpful without being over the top. Great addition to Wantage.

Pros

Bit cramped, but cheap cards. Friendly staff.

A small shop but has a huge range of cheap cards.

Such a wonderful shop to have in Wantage. Carrie and Simon the owners are very helpful and provide great advice and tips on how to paint furniture and make it look good. They have lots of lovely furniture and home accessories. Definitely would recommend popping into Creations.

A fantastic shop full of all sorts of home accessories and lovely gift ideas. The owners of the shop are very helpful and knowledgable about the products that they sell, in particular the Annie Sloan paint range, they also offer courses on how to use the paint which was particularly helpful to me as I was attempting some furniture projects at home. They also sell large items of furniture which they upcycle themselves and their attention to detail and perfect finish always impresses.

Brilliant customer service in this shop - i wanted some sandals for my mum but they didn't have the ones i wanted in stock. They rang the Abingdon shop and within 30 seconds they had sent photo's over of their sandals so i could choose which ones i wanted. Within 5 days they had delivered them to Wantage for me to save me the trip to Abingdon. Thank you so much.

Fantastic gift/home shop in Wantage. Very friendly and helpful staff. Always buy something when I go in but as the prices are so reasonable you can have your home looking lovely without spending a fortune.

Great place to go to for that special personalised gift. Staff all very knowledgeable and funxxx

Fabulous place, can't get enough of the atmosphere and the pleasure painting creativity

Very helpful gentleman who served me was patient and polite as I swirled about in creative indecision.

Such a nice friendly place. I go there all the time and has so much nice stuff and really good quality.

Very helpful and reasonably well stocked.

good old skool diy shop.better than the big out of town stores.

Great range of paints and materials on offer. Staff very helpful. Perfect for trade and DIY projects.👍

Great stock and I've bought various things here. Staff members highly variable with older man always going out of his way to make one feel stupid no matter what your question. Woukd be five stars if the experience was friendlier.

I've bought a few things from here, there's one guy there that's so helpful, puts himself out to help.

If you can't find it anywhere else, then try here, it's amazing what they have in stock.

Very helpful staff and reasonable prices

Great Service. Very Friendly and extremely helpful!

Very reliable and well stocked place for gardening machinery.

This shop has a huge range of lamps, lampshades, unique one off handmade lamps and other electrical items like bulbs, lighting fixtures etc. But the best part of this shop is the invaluable and time-saving advice I got on choosing downlights for our kitchen. The owner of the shop has many years of experience and is extremely knowledgeable about all things electrical.

Amazing little shop full of hidden treasures and friendly, helpful staff. A*****

So, I live locally and I'm moving house... I need £1,000 of new appliances and these guys are total diamonds! I've been offered loan appliances even if some of the ordered goods done appear on time. They've under-cut some internet shops on price, I get good old fashioned service and free local delivery exactly when I want! What's not to like?!

I really like this store not only for the great choice of televisions, dishwashers, washing machines etc etc but the fact that they deliver and install. After sales is good too !!! I like being treated like a customer rather than a number and on balance I have found their prices are very competitive. They also stock all those fiddly bits like bags for Henry and so all in all a great shop.

Excellent service! My laptop battery had started to swell and had already cracked my trackpad, so it was quite urgent to get it sorted ASAP. Julian was able to fit me in a few hours after I called. He went above and beyond in his service, so when I got the laptop back he had cleaned the dust out, taken a photo of the make and model of the battery so I could buy a new one, advised me about the right voltage, researched the average price of a replacement battery and printed the pages, and noticed a loose fitting that had been damaged by the battery, taping it in place so it wouldn't rattle around before I fitted a new battery. He also gave me advice on certain batteries that came with tools designed to fit them, so I could have them on hand in future if I needed. Would definitely recommend Grove Geeks!

Excellent, quick efficient and friendly service. Exactly what you need when you are struggling with an urgent IT issue! Highly recommended.

Kirsty is both incredibly talented and incredibly nice! From the first meeting she was so friendly and totally understood what I wanted. In the run up to the wedding she was so professional and organised, and I really enjoyed sharing ideas with her. The flowers on the day were absolutely perfect, exactly the look I was going for - they honestly couldn't have been better! Really cool, pretty and fitted the venue perfectly.

Our flowers by Kirsty were really beautiful. On the run up to the wedding Kirsty spent time talking to us and sharing ideas until she understood exactly what we wanted. She was very professional yet friendly and relaxed, exactly what we needed during this busy time.

Had several arrangements. All have been lovely, colourful and have lasted a long time

Friendly garden center with lots of good quality plants. The pets section is well stocked with food, treats and toys. Bring your dog along - they are welcome here!

i have used charlton park garden centre sevral times now to send flowers to my sister and each time the result has been superb. lovely selections and delivered on time and with a smile highly recommended

Good cafe, keeps changing slightly! Since the new owners moved in a couple of years ago its much better, the sandwiches are always good and the cakes have a good selection. My favourite sandwiches are the New Yorker or the club sandwich. They also run dinner events from time to time (I think normally with a lebanese theme) which sell out.

Good cafe to grab quick sandwich and coffee. Ask love the shop!

This is a good waitrose store. Very pleasant to shop in - staff will drop everything to help you, and they are always happy. It also has a John Lewis click&collect service, and chairs and tables to sit outside undercover if you want to wait outside for someone

Shopped here since 1976 so a long term customer. Today's moan - why move the Vogel bread from top shelf to bottom shelf further along? It took some finding. On the plus side enjoy the free coffee and daily newspaper.

Being my local it's good for what I need the staff are very pleasant and some can be cheeky which makes a good atmosphere to shop here , I have seen some times that they are under staffed and that due to the company reducing their hours thinking that they can save then moan there losing money from sales

Handy small supermarket. Reasonable range given their size & very useful for the essentials.

Great Customer Service. Had to replace a few watch batteries and the Staff went well out their way to ensure all watches were Set Correctly. Very Fast turn around too. Thanks!

Flawless service from a real expert jeweller. Having an engagement ring made was a bit daunting, but Donna was exceptional. Understood exactly what I was trying to achieve, knew what would and wouldn't work, was always available to answer question and the result was the perfect engagement ring. We are absolutely thrilled by the result. Perfect.

Thanks to Mark and Janet for all their help and advice, first with making a beautiful and unique engagement ring for Sarah, and now with our wedding rings. We recommended them wholeheartedly. Very professional and friendly too.

One place in Wantage for all my jewellery needs, from resizing the engagement to new wedding rings. Professional and knowledgeable.

Does what it says on the tin. Just like every other argos store... but they are all quite soul-less places

Staff every helpful looking numbers up for me as I left my reading glasses at home. The lad who got the items for us could of been quicker than a dawdle and perhaps a smile of recognition as we were the customer. Other wise the staff at wantage are pleasent and again helpful.

Great shop, helpful staff and good selection of products- if they don't have it they will order it for you.

Very knowledgeable and very friendly. I would recommend this shop as A1

I always have a great experience here! Friendly, helpful & knowledgeable staff - they know me and my dog by name. We always find what we need - or they order it for us. Five stars!

Super friendly service! I visit pretty much weekly.

Steve is very supportive, our 13 year old son is loving the tennis coaching! We would highly recommend to anyone wanting to develop and enjoy tennis.

One of the best coaching providers/teams out there, pleasure to work under!!!

Nice shop with helpful staff and supplies. Just a little small so may have difficulty acquiring certain stationery.

Love this shop visit it most times when I'm in town . Very helpful staff

Used to be a great store now pretty average. Not what you would expect from a Sainsburys. Customer service desk has been replaced by a clothing display. Staff morale seems low following recent job cuts. General state of the store could be better and aisles feel claustrophobic since they have started stacking stock above the shelves. There are better Sainsburys. Toy section shelves are often in a mess and items in wrong place. Generally feels it is not managed as well as it could be. As for the toilet facilities, they are pretty poor. Blue lights installed in gents make it a scary place for a 4 year old, my Son felt intimidated by the poor lighting. I can only speculate why the lighting is as it is but surely that is an indication the facilities should be monitored and managed better.

Nice big free car park. Big store with clothes, homewares and toys too. Deli sells some hot foods too which can be good for lunches

Great product good prices friendly staff and helpful good choice items .

Cheap for alot of products (toothpaste is a good bet) a slightly random assortment, but worth a visit for home or garden things

I used Guides for Brides to plan my wedding and it made it so easy as I could find all of my suppliers in the same place and could easily contact them. The website is simple to use as well as the magazine which I found really useful to make notes on for inspiration!

The website is really easy to use and has all the information I needed to contact local wedding suit suppliers. thank you.

Yesterday we attended a wedding here and, I have to say, it was just perfect. Prior to the day, I'd actually done very little research on the venue, as I wanted it to be a surprise; and a surprise it was. Self-contained around a grass courtyard, the venue is idyllic and makes for a great ceremony/meal/evening venue. For me though, the stand-out aspect was the food. The canopies were divine, especially the mini Yorkshire pudding with beef. Then, for the mains they cooked both steak pies and chicken & leak pies - it was hearty northern food with a delicate twist - incredibly tasty. You can't fault this place, and even the drinks prices were reasonable. If you're looking for s wedding venue, it's definitely worth considering.

We visited Lains Barn to enquire as a wedding venue and found it a lovely venue. Really got a good feeling about it from the lady that showed us around. They were quite relaxed about allowing people to set things up as they liked. We ended up choosing another venue as our guest list was probably a little small for this size of venue.
