Waitrose reputation has been built, above all, on the quality and freshness of their food. Each of the buyers is an expert in his or her own field. Their job is to seek out the best sources of the best quality food and unusual ingredients that can't be found in other supermarkets. Much of their time is spent with the farmers, growers and suppliers, building relationships based on trust and respect. Wherever possible the buyers buy British.

Waitrose quality food is available in all our stores.

They have always been regarded as a mark of excellence and quality, and are highly prized. Waitrose previously held a long-standing Warrant with Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
