SUPERMARKET “TELEPHONE” SHOPPING - To my knowledge SAINSBURY’S are the only large supermarket to offer telephone shopping – as opposed to on-line internet shopping . This is obviously of most value to those who do not or cannot access the internet. 0800 3281700 available for orders 8 am – 9 pm Monday to Friday Saturday 8 am – 8.30 pm Sunday 10 am – 6.30 pm
Anyone can register for telephone shopping by phoning the above number and completing a form on the phone. A debit or credit card is needed and a nectar card. After 5 orders, the client will be sent a list of what they have ordered in order to help build up a standard delivery of core items if appropriate. There is no minimum order. There is no delivery charge for orders over £100 on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Other days, order under £40 – cost £6.00. Order over £40 delivery varies between £3.50 and £6.50.
(It is also worth contacting your local authority to find out about "KOSHER MEALS ON WHEELS", if you have problems and are unable to shop easily. If you need to know about the HOSPITAL KOSHER MEALS SERVICE, please contact me. They can be made available at any hospital in the M25. National Health Hospitals can take the Hermolis special kosher hospital meals but private ones take the normal Hermolis meals but in both cases deliveries can be set up within 24 hours normally.)

On the chilled section they are stocking herring, chopped herring, tuna bites, fish balls, Lockshen Pudding, salmon fishcakes, hummus, chrane, latkes, paprika beef, various dips, cheese, smoked salmon and more. Also, assorted packets cold meats, including pastrami, turkey, and chopped liver, liver sausage, wursht, viennas, cocktail viennas and more. They are also stocking Gilberts fresh meats including pickled brisket, minced beef, steaks and joints. (I have been told that the fresh meats are selling as soon as they are delivered!) Dry goods include candles, memorial candles, biscuits, soup powders. Frozen chicken pieces and whole chickens have been requested.

(Note TESCO ON THE A3 have almost discontinued the large range of frozen goods that they offered a year ago. ASDA on the A3 similarly has almost nothing).

Shirley reports (21/01/10) Asda (London Road, Norbiton) have a selection of cold meats, yarden salads, sometimes cakes and muffins, sometimes cheese.

They contstantly restock., although the Kosher meats section has moved (15/01/10). If you are a gefilte fish freak they also have jars of said product in the middle of the shop.

TESCO IN NEW MALDEN TZ Report 08/01/09 Kosher stuff is in two places Kosher is now part of World produce, so just find that, and you'll find the Kosher stuff, of which there isn't a lot, and which is in the middle of tins of non kosher stuff. The freezer cabinet is even more uselss than earlier report - they only had frozen chicken legs. Not worth bothering really. Update 23/01/10. They have some chicken breasts as well

WAITROSE IN COBHAM Shirley reports (Jan 2010) Waitrose Cobham - I have not been for a couple of weeks, but they have a large dry goods section, a large range of different frozen products, fresh meat ie.e mince, entrecote steaks, salt beef etc all very good. ~Selection of cheeses, packet meats, worsht, viennas, chopped liver, herrings, cucumbers etc. Similar selection to Sainsbury's except the last time I went they had Worscht (expensive though). No recent reports as of June '07 though.

TESCO AND ASDA ROEHAMPTON sell kiddush wine and dinner wine. Asda sell Carmel Valley red and white. Sainsbury in Kingston sell kiddush wine

CHEAPER KOSHER FOOD  This is included despite being in Cricklewood, North West London. It might be worthwhile for those finding it difficult to afford the cost of kosher food. I doubt if they deliver but it may be worth an occasional journey to "stock up". I have heard that the prices are much cheaper than elsewhere although it has restricted opening times. I would suggest that you phone to check the opening times if you travelling especially to visit.
