Waitrose

If you're shopping for groceries at Waitrose, then it's good to know that Waitrose have a long and established history of supporting British farmers.

However, Waitrose believe this is about more than simply stocking British farmers' products. It's also about working closely with UK farmers to raise their capability and skill levels, and thus empowering them to continue supplying Waitrose for the long-term.

Where possible, Waitrose aim to source British and Waitrose offer a variety of products that are 100% British all year long.

Waitrose's commitment to providing great-tasting, affordable British produce means being able to provide customers healthy products when they are at their very best. Nonetheless, Waitrose is committed to providing you with the best quality food, and - should you not enjoy one of Waitrose's products - Waitrose will replace and refund you (applies to Waitrose produced foods and household goods.

With a history of more than a hundred years, and more than 240 stores throughout the UK, Waitrose is one of the most recognised food retailing names in the UK.

From its very first shop in Acton Hill, West London, in 1904, Waitrose has come a long way, and now operates in most of the major towns and cities in the United Kingdom, with over hundreds of suppliers, tens of thousands of products, and with a staff of more than 37,000.

Now, with the advent of online shopping, Waitrose is making its name in online retail too, and offers a real alternative to other online stores, such as Tesco, which has previously been dominant in the grocery sector for several years.

Recognising that customers are increasingly price-conscious, Waitrose focus on making healthy food affordable, while inspiring customers to cook, and at Waitrose Online Store you can take advantage of the same great range of products, including fresh fruit and vegetables, as you can in your local Waitrose store.

However, although Waitrose work hard to make its products as healthy as possible, without sacrificing quality or taste, Waitrose are also committed to providing customers with easy-to-understand labelling, and helping customers make informed choices about the food and drink they purchase.
