"There are small pockets of availability that we'd rather was better on the site and pre-pandemic our levels of overall availability was higher," Tim Steiner told reporters after Ocado Retail updated on third-quarter trading.

"Sometimes you have to take one brand over another or one pack size over another or one variety over another but there really isn't anything you can't get on the website," he said.

Ocado Retail is a joint venture between Ocado Group and Marks & Spencer. Steiner is CEO of Ocado.
