The Co-operative Food

Whether you’ve popped in for the basics for a Bolognese or you’re looking for tonight’s dinner inspiration we’ve got fresh ingredients you can really make a meal of! Short on time? Why not try one of our award winning Co-op pizzas or ready meals? All the fresh meat we sell is British and that includes the meat we use in our Co-op sandwiches, snacks and ready meals. So whether it’s a breakfast, lunch or evening meal you’re shopping for, you can be sure that when you buy any Co-op product containing meat, it will always be 100% British. From Herefordshire potatoes for our hand cooked crisps to creamy buffalo ricotta for our free range egg tortelli, our Irresistible range uses the best ingredients, so whether you’re looking for a decadent mid-week meal, a showstopper dessert or some perfect party food, our Irresistible range will have something to tempt you. We believe everyone should be treated fairly throughout our supply chain, whether it’s tea farmers in Kenya to grape pickers in Argentina. Along with other Co-operative retailers across the UK, Southern Co-op aim to stock as many Fairtrade products as we can to make Fairtrade accessible to all. Southern Co-op is a large, independent co-operative society operating in 11 counties across the south of England. We have been owned and traded by people across the southern region for over 140 years with our main business being food, where we have a network of over 200 stores. We work hard to provide the best in fresh, delicious food with high standards of service to our customers but we’re also really committed to making a genuine difference to our local communities. From supporting local food and drink suppliers to active engagement with community groups and charities, we strive to build proactive, sustainable partnerships that benefit all. Our Love Your Neighbourhood programme aims to help bring communities together by providing support through fundraising, donations and volunteering. Have a chat with your local Southern Co-op store manager or visit our website to find out more about how we can work with your community to make a positive difference.

First visit, helpful staff and self check out was a breeze. However the sandwich shelf looked a bit bare, perhaps it was the late afternoon. Good disabled access. Will visit again

It’s a good store with lots of cost effective bargains, if you look for them. It could do with remaining open later. As it’s the only convenience store (it appears) at this end of Winchester. When your working late that extra 15 minutes walk to the Tesco express in the high street can be massively frustrating!

Fairly decent store. Glad it has a bakery section, as the pastries are very tasty. A little on the pricey side for drinks and the queue was fairly long, they could have done with a second staff member on the tills.

Ideal store, however it appears logistics fail it. Staff try their best to correct issues when possible. More effort could be given to ensure products are labelled and priced, but realistically the head office needs to supply this store accordingly and not on a whim. It is only a small store, so don't expect all the offers. They have somehow managed to make use of the limited space.

One member of staff stinks to high heaven, NOT acceptable to have someone who doesn't care about personal hygiene serving customers in a food store. The last straw in a long line of unpleasant experiences! I'm so done with shopping there.
