SPAR Dersingham Thaxters - King's Lynn

The “Ruthless” Reviewer

Gr8 for emergencies on a Sunday evening, prices are generally 15% higher than other local amenities shops but your paying a bit more for the convenience. Staff are always friendly.

They also offer a range of services, like ring and collect, parcel delivery service at the counter, a wide variety of fruit and veg.

It's not a big shop but it is a fair size and stocks most of your essential treats and goodies for a Saturday night in front of the telly.

They even deliver to elderly customers in the local area when asked for a small charge or minimum order.

I regularly pop in for your hot food counter yum. And on Sundays as you are open nice and early. This spar has lots on offer at the average prices you see in smaller shops. Good size carpark clean store and the staff I have met are friendly and chatty. At times a little slow that would be my only criticism at the till.

Excellent store - the staff are always very helpful and there’s a fantastic range, plus the prices are so much better than the local co-op, there’s no comparison. Their fruit and veg is the best around, and the manager was very helpful when I asked for a special order of bread. Highly recommended!

It's "meh" - the location is convenient and the staff are friendly but that's about all it has going for it.

Quite expensive especially when compared to Co-op in the village or other stores a little further out - nearly £4 for a deli salad and if memory serves £6 for 4 dinky pre-packaged cupcakes. Largely name brand stuff so not much opportunity to get the cheaper options (and Spars own brand stuff is still expensive anyway). No "reduced" section to pick up some bargains.

I understand it is a smaller store that the likes of Tesco or Co-op but it doesn't feel like there is all that much to choose from.

Honestly, if you must do your shopping in Dersingham, you'd be better off going a bit further down the road to Co-op.

The staff here used to be polite and friendly. My family and I have used this shop for years and it has always been friendly for as long as I can remember. Walking in and being greeted by the staff was great, "morning, afternoon, how are you,? weather's nice today! etc etc, then unfortunately, as of March 2020, they were all clerely given bad advice and training from HQ and the in house training on how to speak to people was clearly updated to reflect what the masses are now accepting as 'the new normal' . All of a sudden the staff are now security guards and none of the polite, friendly and welcoming staff remain.

Just popped in on two separate occasions this afternoon for a few dinner essentials on the BH Monday as we are visting relatives in the area and no other shops open.Extremely overpriced and not a please or thank you in sight from the more mature store attendant,just passed the change back both times we paid. Needs to get into the 21st century and will make sure I stock up in Lidl in future to ensure I don't have to ever return!

A good range of products and hot counter which is good for contractors and the like but the staff seem not to know the prices of the fruit. The covid was lax as a member for staff was more concerned in gassing than let the till clear the waiting people to pay and leave. I shall use other stores where the standards are better on service

My first ever visit to the store today (5/6/2021) for some emergency assistance. The staff (male and female from the till) offered superb service - going beyond what I would've expected and a great help as I was not a local and didn't know the area
