SPAR UK Ltd Arvostelua 

On 27th March 2026 I purchased a long life milk from my local SPAR on St Annes Road Blackpool. When I got home and poured some it came out like cottage cheese. On checking the date, it went out of date in December 2025. Disgusting. I took it back and asked if I could swap it, and the guys behind the counter looked nervously towards the long life milk shelf and said that he'd prefer to refund onto my card. No proof, but I suspect that he was aware of a wider problem. Just the way he acted. Not great

Failed when needed
Spar, green lane Chester
Requested, multiple times for copy of cctv footage showing a thug, threatening me, an eighty year old, for pointing out he had parked too close to allow me to enter my car.
Referred back and forth, head office, then Blakemore Co, so on and on for over a week with no outcome. We support our local store, they abandon us when it suits

If i could give zero stars for my local store in Lanark in South Lanarkshire I would have. 1 star is too many. After using a delivery service online 99% of the deliveries I have received from this store have been deplorable. The goods have been out of date or wrong items sent. After receiving an abusive call from the store regarding a negative but honest review of the delivery the store manager breached GDPR (data protection) and arrived on my doorstep with an small easter egg to bribe me to remove the review which is a breach of my personal data it is intimidation at best. I am disgusted at this behaviour and these people should look closer at their own faults and problems with staff and stock rotarion before harassing customers at their homes.
I would avoid this store unless you wish to be treated like you are somehow doing them a favour. Far better stores available.

Sunny D 1L drink is 1.25 at Herron Foods; 2.40 at Spar. Many other examples of them ripping people off in deprived areas

Bought their mince carrots and onion with mash fresh meal 🤢 they must use the cheapest mince!!! Full of fatty bits every mouth full had a hard fatty bit

I Grenå står der igen en fremtrædende medarbejder og "belære" en kunde om pant systemet. Han lyver oven i købet da jeg blander mig isamtalen. Han påstår at det er lovpligtig at de skal havde en flaskeautomat... manden i det runde tøj er en fornærmelse i købmandskab. Tæl jeres pant, stop maskinen og kald på hjælp ved første "fejl" .. de lyver og stjæler.

The brownie bites are amazing

Fab shop with a very helpful team of staff cant do enough for you and are all genuine

Box of Heroes in Spar Rosevale, Bangor road, Newtownards, Co Down £8.00!!!!!!!!!
Same box in Lidl Bangor £4.49
Wont ever fill my van or shop at this filling station again. May avoid SPAR altogether

Most awful Post Office I’ve ever been to. Customer service is shocking! Spent nearly 20 minutes waiting to get a parcel because princess was counting pennies behind the counter. Every parcel I have received in the past 3 days has been opened! Every time I go to get a parcel I get asked stupid questions even after I show proof of ID! I absolutely despise going here to pick up my parcels!

WARBOYS PE28. Fabulous little store! Always helpful and happy. The post office is always open - amazing! I’ve had to date it but it’s always the same x

The post Office counter at my local Spar in Rhosddu Road Wrexham is either unmanned, closed for no apparent reason or operated by staff who have yet to learn to speak.
Today I waited for ten minutes before the assistant finally appeared from the back room. She didn't apologise for the wait. And when she did finally serve me she began chatting with the other staff, paying me very little attention.
Good, helpful and friendly customer service seems to have slowly evaporated over the past few years, especially in the smaller businesses. Such a shame.

I walked into this Spar store on an ordinary day while on a phone call. At the till, the manager asked if that was all, and I nodded — I didn’t want to interrupt my call. That simple gesture was apparently enough for her to ban me permanently from the shop, claiming I was “rude.” i joined another Que but she said no one should serve me.

I returned several weeks later, hoping it was a misunderstanding, but was again refused service and told I was not welcome. I’ve raised this issue with Spar since August, detailing what is clearly discrimination and poor treatment, yet there’s been no response or resolution.

This kind of arrogance and disrespect toward customers is appalling and completely unacceptable from a brand that claims to value community and service. I will never shop at Spar again, and I’d advise others to think twice before supporting a company that tolerates this kind of behaviour. Horrible Horrible Bitter and sad experience. I can nevver understand or get over this type of thing that happened to me. I wrote soo many emails but they just keep saying we are inveatigating. Its really sad and unfortunate. Spar Greenock.

Awful guy in there soooo rude! Don’t have the yodel service if you lie every time and say it’s down what a waste of time

It has most essentials but if you want any kind of food or snack that isn't branded, you are better of getting some soil and grass from outside ant eating it 👍

Spar Sandbanks Road, Poole is a Jewell in the Sandbanks/Lilliput community. Eloise, Carl & John provide a first class friendly servce and always with a smile. Just love taking my parcels there

Went in to spar in rayne road Braintree to put in fule I don't usually use this shop but when filling up the pump stop and the lady
Inside stoped the pump and was pointing out I had my phone in my hand ( it was not on a call ) I did point that out to her and popped in in my pocket. When I went in I said I completely understand your point and will leave it in my pocket in future her reply was so rude and was support by really aggressive and negative body language that wasn't needed at all ( all she needed to say is yes thanks phones are not aloud out at this location and there would have been no issues at all for me I'm used to using self service were I can pay Google pay at the pump so was a genuine mistake after leaving the shop after being shocked by the bad service i decided to take a picture of this member of staff as she wouldn't give a name or till receipt as I took the picture she decided to raise her middle finger to the window I was shocked that anyone with this attitude was working in retail I have called Spar to raise this but not yet had any communication back

And one of the best way to surving custmer is one of the best one as welln

Called in Spar Abersoch to collect parcel after being notified by Royal Mail my item was there. Served by young lady who appeared totally out of her depth searching through an enormous amount of parcels in no order at all. After a couple of minutes she gave up and said “it’s not here” then began serving other customers. I told her I’m not surprised with such an adhoc system. I left the shop and rang the duty manager later that day. This lady was extremely rude from the outset and continually talked over and interrupted me. I was accused of upsetting her shop assistant which I totally denied and advised her to watch and listen to the shop CCTV which she said didn’t record sound so she wasn’t going to bother (convenient). I was told my parcel was there but I was now barred. I contacted Spar head office to be told it was a franchise. I contacted the store supplier who said it’s nothing to do with them either so basically I had no way to progress my complaint. It would appear this shop is a law unto itself and can treat customers with contempt with no worry of reprimand from a head office/ area manager.
