Whittard Of Chelsea (Shop)

Now I must say before I start writing that I o work for Whittard, but I am going o give a very honest frank opinion on what I think of my shop. - Store Layout - Wow! I used to go in there before I worked there and I was always very impressed. It looks good and other stores need to take note of it. It is always clean, we always clean, all the time, if anything in the store is moved it is given a good clean. Everything is always well laid out. It isn’t shoved on the shelf and we do spend time laying it out. You can always see all the products that you are going to buy, including, china ... more

I have always been a tea enthusiast, and I think it tastes best when it’s made in a teapot and enjoyed from a pretty teacup or mug. It’s even better presented on a tea-tray with a proper milk jug. I consequently enjoy popping into Whittard’s whenever I’m looking for anything crockery-related, or even just to browse. They sell a wide selection of crockery: cups and saucers, mugs, small plates, dinner plates, bowls, teapots, jugs, glasses, plastic picnic-ware, and anything else of that type that you’d need. They stock a number of different ranges at a time, and most the ranges seem to be sold ... more

Let's get one thing straight. Whittards is not exactly cheap. But that's not the point, is it? If someone wants to buy Cheap-o-blend Coffee ("friends, this coffee is guaranteed made from the finest floor sweepings of a Columbian coffee warehouse!") then they will probably not want to even consider visiting Whittards. Because Whittards is reassuringly up market in pricing. Though the careful shopper can get some real bargains, if they shop carefully. Whittards is chock full of fantastic varieties of coffee. Almost every type of coffee thst you could ever think of is there, within the walls of ... more

I'm not a coffee drinker, although I wish I was because it always smells so tempting, but I love a good cuppa tea. I'm a bit of an old woman when it comes to my home comforts really, and I'm also a bit of a cup/mug collector, hence I have a cupboard full of different ones that have accumulated from impulse purchases. I quite like having a browse around Whittard's and think it's a good place to go for something drink related that is that little bit more special that a supermarket brand, but it's not somewhere I shop frequently. ... Who ... Whittard's is a tea shop first established way back in ... more

I have an addiction . If I don't get my fix every day, I start to become irritable, snapping at anyone who comes near me . I start to shake, my eyes start to roll back in my head, and my head spins on my shoulders like that girl from the exorcist . Well, maybe I am exaggerating , but I do have a bit of a tea addiction - I even have penpals with whom I swap teabags . It should therefore probably come as no surprise then that I'm a frequent visitor to my local branch of Whittards, located on Bridlesmith Gate, near to the Broadmarsh shopping centre . Lets have a look in the window first shall we ... more
