Poor, weak coffee. Ordered a hazelnut latte, made in a few seconds, which caused me some concern, the froth on top was watery, as was the coffee. Very weak and not worth the money. Staff from friendly but appeared to rush orders to get more time to chat with one another.

It's Costa. The food is mostly prepackaged and heated as required. The coffee and other drinks look good but I have tea, sadly they don't offer decaffeinated tea but they do offer different types of milk. I enjoy the location and going with a friend. The seating is nicely spaced out and we can talk without being overheard. It is a pleasant experience.

I paid almost £5 for 4 sips of a hot choc from the festive drink range. My nephew had a baby chino and once I ate the cream I tested the amount by putting it in his cup and it was less than that. Hot choc was good but not worth the price at all. Should have asked for it to be remade but this shouldn’t be what is given to customers in the first place

Food was very good apart from one member of staff came by at the back of machine where I was sitting by the window and picked her nose (after I had eaten). Didn't even think to use a tissue in a catering business and washed her hands afterwards. Very off putting especially been pushed out of the way to queue to order food and drink by another customer. Being pregnant with a disability, there was no display sign to queue and was knocked out of the way so the customer could purchase her coffee with a small group of other people. Worst Costa branch my partner and I have ever been to.

The flies all over the cakes are disgusting. There are plenty of other places with appropriate covers over food to have coffee, so I don’t come in anymore. When it’s hot there’s so many of them in the display, you’d think they’re having a party. They’ve danced on almost every piece of cake whilst you wait in the queue! Enough to put anyone off their food 🤢

Chris & Ellie are absolute professionals! Such great service and friendly staff who take pride in their jobs and are a credit to Costa! I only went in for ice, as I had brought a coffee at the previous Costa and they had run out of ice - this branch had also run out of ice and still water, so I was stuck with a very hot black Americano…. Until the lovely Chris and Ellie very kindly exchanged that for a gorgeous black iced cooler!! Thanks guys!

My boyfriend and I are regular customers here and usually get great service. However this time it was awful!! I ordered a decaf vanilla latte and my boyfriend ordered a an iced cappuccino. Firstly we waited about 15 minutes to get our order taken. Then waited around 25 mins for our drinks. None of the staff seemed to know whose order was whose and didn't know how to make any of the drinks. We ended up getting a cold coffee (not iced) and more of a cold Americano with the whole drink spilling out of the lid. I then received my drink which was a caffeinated latte and no vanilla! Why advertise drinks if you can't make them and at least communicate with your customers!!

The service is incredibly slow. I mean really really really slow. Totally unnecessary. Two 'baristas' to make each drink while tales go uncleared and unclean. Neither of these baristas were trainees. Just gossiping and not concentrating while long queues build up. They were not just slow today. They are slow every time I go there. I've been dropping into various Costs for years but the service at this, my local outlet, is awful.

Visited this store a couple of days ago. I was last in a queue of just three people to be served and had to wait at least five minutes to place my order for a Flat White TA. It then took so long to get my drink, I sat down and read the paper. From ordering, I waited around 10 minutes to get my drink. When I sat reading the paper, I couldn't help but notice that the majority of empty table were still dirty with finished drinks, plates and food waste

Checked in hotel to find out we've been upgraded, very nice room in the courtyard. Evening meal in the restaurant was superb one of the best if not the best meal of 2024. Only small criticism, add more Christmas decorations make it more seasonal. Would definitely stay again..

We took advantage of an unexpectedly sunny Sunday to take a friend in a wheelchair for a stroll on the prom and brunch at the Alex — where we knew there was an accessible loo, should it be needed. Our order included a vegan breakfast, muffin and poached eggs and smoked haddock fishcakes, plus cake. All were good, fresh and well-cooked. Hats off to the chef who perfectly poached those eggs. The staff were friendly and professional and went out of their way to help us with wheelchair manoeuvring. The place feels well-run.
