What food from Waitrose do I need to try?

I've never shopped at waitrose, apart from popping in for an emergency water bottle, kind of thing. I'm an Asda/Lidl budget shopper 🤭

I've got a voucher to use there for an online shop, £15 off of an £80 shop.

So which food would you recommend i buy? Which food tastes amazing and is a must try? I'm thinking of venison, never had that

Is the pasta superior? Any seasonings?

Do share x

Edit, spelling

Waitrose white chocolate cookies. So good. And the sticky tooffee puddings.

I've discovered amazing biscuits in W, though later found exactly the same in Sainsbury's (they probably buy it from the same manufacturer).
Also the best supermarket chocolate cupcakes, and cute floral cupcakes from the Entertaining section.

Oh and their #1 pizza is great, esp. King Prawn one. And I'm not a regular Waitrose customer, more of Sainsbury's/M&S combo, but these products just stand out.
Last year (2023/24), they had amazing Pan d'Oro as well.

Thank you for this thread.
I went and got the following and tried some other items I saw.

coffee shortbread- really nice,
Duchy Organic Blackberries - amazing
Sweet kingdom carrots - nice and crisp
Waitrose basic cherries - delicious
No1 speciality whole milk - fabulous
Basque cheesecake- divine
Spinach and garlic pizza - nothing special but OK as a quick food item
Avocados - superb quality
I also got the coffee ice cream and yet to try it!
Thanks to all for the recommendations.

I love this thread, I'm 100% the wiser for it
The food you bought sounds amazing- I'm so looking forward to the ice cream on payday 😊

Might start one about wines to try as I'm a novice but want to be slightly knowledgeable Xx

As newbie to Waitrose, have found this all very useful. Recently discovered the Booja Booja raspberry clusters - fabulous for those who are unwillingly dairy free.

Mum is impressed with the coffee shortbread so thank you for the recommendation.

It's the same food as anywhere tho🤔

Of course it isn't! We're not talking Kellogg's Rice Krispies, people are referring to their own brand or their No 1 range. What a ridiculous comment.

They sell the same food as Tesco, mate. Just pricier.

Are you getting mixed up with M&S online? They sell Waitrose branded stuff. Tesco don't.
