Unfortunately didn't go in.. The bags of rubbish and the bins out front of shop alongside the dirty windows., put me off going

Awful Costa, dirty and untidy. Take away cups only, no hazel or maple syrup, be better off closing.

The chairs in the window seating are disgusting. Stained and old should be taken to the tip.

So so busy. Queue was to the door and it seemed that every order came out wrong. So many people were waiting for their orders — which then needed remaking, as drinks were incorrect. Coffee was being made in a rushed fashion as well as barista having to man the til.. complete orders were not done in one go- one drink made and called out, then food, then another drink- made our group of 7 wait for ages and none of us had our food or drink at the same time. Dirty floors, dirty tables, barista was bleeding from a cut on his knuckle, when I mentioned it to him he just wiped the blood off and stuck a sticker (not a plaster) on it and continued to work- not a handwash in sight. I feel very sorry for the staff that were on yesterday (25.7.24) they were very under the pump and getting everything wrong. Not sure there was a manager or guidance available but it wasn’t a good experience at all. No customer service and just a filthy, stressed busy environment. Had never liked the street frontage with its bin bags and rubbish piled high, just not welcoming or appealing, and I’ve never had a decent coffee here / but thought let’s try again- Alas, nope- Won’t be coming back.

The service was very very poor and took a very long time for our order to come out, the server had blood on his hand and they gave us the wrong order. It was very disappointing, will not be coming back.

This place IS the heart ♥️ of Wantage. Always bustling and yet the staff here are always friendly and professional even when they are clearly under pressure as it’s so popular. This place demonstrates care in the community as there are a lot of people who struggle, but everyone is made to feel welcome. Thank you.

Considering the cost of coffee etc in this well know establishment, the chairs were minging & stained. We weren't even asked if we were staying in or taking away, drinks were served in take away cups ( we stayed in) next time will make my way to a local cafe and give them my trade...... disgusting place

Coffee was OK but they didn't tell me when ordering that it would be in a takeaway cup despite there being plenty of cups on the racks. If they'd told me before I paid I would have gone somewhere else. Floor was pretty gross too but the staff were friendly enough

Consistently scruffy and messy, dirty tables and equally so behind the counter. Reflected in the service staff, who are consistently slow, inattentive, disorganised, and messy. I have walked out three times in the last two months. Poor efforts!

Very nice coffee however the waiting time for the coffee is ridiculous 10 minutes in a qué as only one member of staff at the time but the coffee was worth the wait

Such a shame! This Costa is the dirtiest and most untidy of any Costa we’ve visited - and we’ve been to quite a lot! There are too few staff to clear tables or sweep the floor, the comfy chairs are stained, and the bins are overflowing, clearly visible through the windows, right next to where we sat. Not a pleasant experience.

A very stressed team which reflected in thier performance which was shocking! dirty untidy dining area. I was sharply told to wait at the counter while the assistant answered the phone and stood chatting. Had to wait for someone else to serve me and then had to wait again while the two other assistants chatted..... shocking dissapointing service!!

This place is so dirty looking from the outside. I was put off entering the premises because if they were happy to stack all their rubbish in their doorway, then I question their hygiene standards. You don't put your rubbish in your doorway like this. Where is your pride?

It's Costa - same as any other generic conglomerate that makes you coffee. It always annoys me about this particular location, that the trays/coffee cups/plates etc are always stacked so high in the corner, you can never clear the table properly. They are clearly under staffed here, and no-one ever seems to do anything about it...

Around 4pm was incredibly busy, no cake left and lots of school children but despite it being the only coffee shop open and only one barista to serve he handled it well and professionally. Will go again but early on in the day next time.

I wanted to meet my son for a drink in my break late afternoon. We asked for what we wanted, the lady didnt ask me if I was staying or taking away, then we were given a pastry and a cake we had asked for in a bag, together, I explained we were eating in and she just said, oh, and proceeded to make our drinks then give them to us in take away cartons, I had lost the will to live by then and was due back at work shortly. The taste is so different when in a take away cup I couldn't drink it all. I felt the staff were too busy talking to each other than listening to the customer. Also, when it's cold - something needs to be done about the main door that sticks open and is not wide enough just opening one - impossible for a wheelchair or pushchair user to get through. Grove Costa is much better in customer relations

During lockdown the staff in Costa Wantage have been brilliant- I am a bus driver and during this time very few places have allowed the use of toilet facilities for non customers. The staff here have never refused or insisted one buys a drink in order to use them. This makes me happy to buy a drink when maybe I wouldn’t have normally. Staff always friendly and helpful and even if you haven’t been there for several weeks, always remember your order! Full marks and well done!

This Costa is badly in need of a refurb. The paint is peeling off in lots of places and the loos were dirty. Hopefully it will be scheduled soon as most Costas are reasonably smart. We had the filter coffee which was a bit tasteless and not very warm but as it only costs £1 I guess you get what you pay for!

The Merry Miller offers a delightful carvery experience, combining excellent food with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The carvery station is well-organized, with a generous selection of tender meats, fresh vegetables, and hearty sides. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring you feel right at home. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, the Merry Miller’s carvery service never disappoints.

Spent a few hours at The Narrows yesterday afternoon with extended family. Food was good for the price and certainly can complain about the drinks but the attitude of one young girl was appalling. She was dealing with table orders and complained that there were multiple orders coming through for our table, so asked if we could just order everyone’s together. We explained that we weren’t doing large rounds as a group. When approaching the bar, she looked and made a cross with her forearms before saying ‘I’m not serving’. Really poor attitude and didn’t speak even when bringing drinks to the table. Other staff seemed much more pleasant.
