Just had coffee so can't really comment 100% . The place was really busy and but not particularly clean, but served it's purpose. Toilet facilities were disappointing, there being only one unisex toilet and a disabled one.

Consistent coffee and friendly enough team. But like with most Costas I go into the WiFi never works well if at all which for a coffee shop in 2024 is frustrating.

Food and coffee was OK. The guy serving me seemed totally distracted. He made my coffee and placed it on a tray, but didn't say anything to me. In the meantime, his colleague had brought over the muffin I ordered and placed it near to where he was, but he started making other drinks. In the end I just had to interrupt him and ask him to pass me the muffin so I could go and sit down. He also tried to give me milk despite me ordering a black American (which are famously milk-less!)

Really gone down hill Not sure if the speaker system is broken but every drink I've ordered has been wrong in some way when ive got to the pay window (for drive through). Also - and this is a side thing. They keep trying to give me 3/4 drinks without a cup holder. Logic should say - more than 2 - cup holder, right?

Nice costa, quite well presented. Staff are friendly and coffee is good, service is relatively quick and has the added bonus of having a drive thru. Could do with being slightly cleaner on the floors, tables are generally clean and quickly cleared.

I've been a few times to this particular branch. Staff are pleasant. My order wasn't totally correct, but I did enquire and the barista corrected it whilst they were making my drink. Sadly I wasn't asked if I wanted to eat in or not, so my lunch wasn't in a bowl etc, but I'm not overly precious. I just think the person who served me was a little distracted today. Won't put me off coming again though.

I went through the drive thru recently to get a hot chocolate while on my way somewhere else. Ordering was easy but I was left waiting at the window for a good 10 minutes after pulling up and paying. Several members of staff went by with no acknowledgement of me having been sitting there for so long, until one person realised I was still there waiting and apologised, handing me my drink. I'm guessing I was forgotten about and that my drink had been sitting there a while, as it was less hot chocolate and more tepid chocolate. Sadly, I did not realise this until I had left the drive thru. As I was going elsewhere after this, and had no way of reheating my drink, it ended up in the bin. Not impressed.

Clean, friendly Costa, ordered drinks but didn't realise the Costa was shut so we're slightly confused when they took our order, we paid and then they told us. It was nice outside so we sat there. Drinks were as advertised but they didn't have a few of the syrups in so limited. Friendly staff, although hard to hear what they were saying above all the noise and behind the perspex.

I live locally and have been coming here for about 5 years now. I must say that since the lockdowns ended and they reopened, the service has become infuriatingly slow, and often mistakes are made. I feel sorry for the staff, because it is obvious they are understaffed, either because the company is cutting back on costs to try and make up for lack of profits during lockdowns, or because they think they can't find the staff. I am sure that there are lots of willing workers out there to fill the gap if the company tries to find them. The fact that nearly all the empty tables still have the last people's rubbish left on them, and never seems to be cleared up in a timely way, is evidence of understaffing. It is no different in the drive-through queue, and with the cost of fuel these days, you really need to turn off your engine as you may be in the queue for over 10 minutes and it could easily cost you a pound or two just waiting in the queue! Given the time it takes to be served, either in the shop or in the drive-through queue, you are better off making your own coffee at home. Don't go here until they actually get the staff they need.

I echo the sentiment expressed by others in this forum. We paid a visit recently after having the Covid jab at the fire station located opposite this Costa and were utterly disappointed. The staff looked so demotivated to say the least, the service was atrocious and the toilets were nothing short of a microbiology lab on steroids. Maybe it's time the health and safety inspectors paid a visit. Totally disappointed.

Waited 30 mins to get coffee in drive through only to get the wrong coffee. A capable manager needs to be on during key shifts. You may get away with this as there not many alternatives in the area, what happens when you give the wrong coffee to someone with dietary requirements? Can I get my money back?

When I asked the person to clean the table they then got a cloth and asked me to do it!!! After I hinted that it was their job they huffed and cleaned the table, with a fake smile and a “sorry about that”. Was almost tempted to give the coffees back and demand a refund

The staff was absolutely so rude to me today as for the first time I was asked for ID for a coffee I am over the age of 16. Coffee isn't a energy drink or alcohol. Made me wait 10 minutes and gave me such rude attitude all because of this silly rule.I am clearly a tall 16+ year old. I felt very unwelcome by the staff. Never coming here again I'm going to a different one as they would give it to me no issue and they are so much more welcoming.There was so many flies in there it felt not clean. Gave me decaf instead of regular coffee.Im going to another Costa. Disgusting.
