Unfortunately the oven wasn’t working, but not the girls fault! She was working alone during the day in half term which I thought was strange - but she did her best!! Be aware that there is no phone signal, so using your points/ rewards/ costa card is tricky if you’ve not signed up for the WiFi account. Otherwise, clean and friendly costa.

Popped in to have lunch with my daughter. We are both vegan and never usually have any problems with finding something vegan to select. So disappointed, there were no vegan food options at all. No vegan toastie, No vegan cakes. We ordered 2 drinks to take away and went over the road to get a meal deal from co op. Very Disappointed and we won't be returning to this branch, will stick to the one in Bexhill Road St Leonards which always has a bigger food selection and good vegan options too. Also the place looked very dull and dark inside as very few windows. Was much bigger and a much nicer environment when it was situated a few doors along. It seems like since moving to this new premises it has been down graded to a small dark space with very small food selection. I guess there are so many other tea rooms/ cafes in Battle now it probably doesn't get much custom now.

Consistently bad service. My daughter has clubs in Battle at 5pm on a couple of days a week. Every time without fail I go into this Costa, they have started shutting the cafe down by 5pm. They never have an oven to heat up their food, as it’s already been shut down & cleaned (which always makes me think how early they stop serving food) or they don’t have ice for chilled drinks. The staff often act inconvenienced when you walk in after 5. On my last visit, there were 2 staff behind the counter. One was serving lady in front of me. The second just stood & watched, only interacting to tell me they weren’t doing food & were closing after we left. Bad service once or twice, I can understand. But it’s every time I try, which is unfortunate as I love Costa. In future, I’ll try the little pub over the road.

Small Costa with not a lot of indoor seating. There is also a very limited selection of sandwiches and cakes - far less than most other Costa's I have been too. The staff were friendly enough, but the dark and dingy interior of this one made for a rather unwelcoming place to stop. Such a shame as am a big fan of Costa Coffee normally.

I went there between jobs. The service was good and the quality of the drink, in my opinion, was as good as it should be. December, 5° outside and the door was wide open so it was freezing. Not cozy at all. The wall sockets were not switched on and I couldn't plug in my laptop. The manager was on a table in the middle of the coffee shop and was working. He was hiring over the phone. I don't know if this is good or bad. If there was Starbucks or Nero I would have preferred going there.

You will see my previous review from May when I was at premises. Six months on - this has def slipped back . Staff have changed many times since then . That can’t be helped - I get that , and they are mostly pleasant and helpful. But never seems to be enough staff . Inspite of the tie up with M&S , the counter selection is appalling- no other word for it . Choice of Brie and cranberry / ham and cheese toastie and one miserable sausage bap at 2.00pm in the afternoon is pathetic. I go there because you make the best hot chocolate- but I no longer waste time deliberating over food when there is a good baker down the road .

Slow, disappointing service as they are clearly understaffed. Very limited range of sandwiches and cakes. Ordered a Terry's Chocolate Orange hot chocolate as a rare treat, but they had no chocolates for any of their festive drinks. However, they only tell you that after taking your money. Drink served in a take-away cup as I wasn't asked if I was drinking in, which I'd intended to. Tables dirty and shop has no atmosphere.

Sadly this costa shop really let's costa down. Very very limited range despite displaying all the range. No marks sandwiches at a lunch time! I was 1 of 3 unhappy customers waiting to be served. Slow is an understatement. It is utterly ridiculous the length of time it takes to place an order and get your order. Please costa don't let this store continue to drag your reputation down. This is not the first time we have had the same experience here each time we hope that it was a one off but unfortunately not.

This branch has the feel of being the premises of an old bank. The windows are set very high on the walls with the result being that you cannot see outside. I would imagine that it is a very cosy place during Winter, but I have to say that without a view of the street outise I found it a little oppressive. On the plus side the staff were really helpful and courteous, the coffee was great as you would expect, and the food we ordered, a pannini and a toasted sandwich, were really very good. I would go back, even though I can't see outside!

Dirty uncleared tables, no hand sanitizer, no muffin of my choice, two board staff, with no interest in the customers or the environment. The place, staff and service really needs a good shake up.

Popped in for a coffee and sandwich. Lovely old building that was a bank but inside was dark and dismal, dirty and scruffy. The choice of food was very lacking compared to other branches, no cakes or slices in the display. cabinet and it was inky early afternoon. The 2 baristas looked bored and although one did clean a machine for a little while the rest of the time they were standing around on their phones. The safety screens were particularly filthy and the toilet looked like someone had mopped the floor recently but the actual toilet was disgusting.

What a disgrace. I popped in at 3:45pm today, and all there was on offer was a few brownies and some tiffin. The girl behind the counter was on her phone, I politely asked for some tiffin and a flat white. The tiffin was given to me in a bag, she didn’t ask if I was eating in or out and the coffee came in a take-out cup (this happened on my previous visit when I was told that as they were near to closing they didn’t want to do the washing up!!). Today it was a whole 1 hour and 15 minutes before closing! The seating area looks very uninviting and the mirror, photo attached, next to my table was filthy. As a company you should be extremely ashamed of the Battle branch and its staff and I would suggest you ‘shape up or ship out’! I certainly won’t be returning!

I have visited many Costa Coffee bars over the years as my husband is a Whitbread shareholder and we liked to support the company. I’m not sure what’s happened Since Coca Cola took them over but our visit today to the Costa in Battle was dreadful. A beautiful old building on the High street but once inside absolutely no atmosphere, dirty tables, not good coffee and a few days old Danish pastry! And don’t even get me started on the state of the loos - disgusting.! In fact it was no surprise there were only two other people in there. Im so sad that I have to write this but something seriously needs to be done.

Not the best experience. Took a while to get served. As a lone customer, I got frustrated that groups who came in after me sent 1 person to sit at a table, and the other queued behind me.

I love costa and it’s cool this costa has moved into a different building. It’s a nice big building and interior is lovely. When I walked in there was a staff member put the front looking miserable as hell! I was served by a really friendly girl who made a lush flat white. When I was getting my coffee the miserable woman (who I’m guessing is a manager) asked another lady behind the counter if she could have a word. As I was walking out I heard her telling the lady off in the public seating area. Not at all professional. I get super upset whenever I see this happening as it happened to me at a job once and I understand the humiliation. Not cool from my fave coffee chain. Sorry.

Used to go into the old Costa in Battle. They have moved into the old Nat West Bank. Can’t see why because it is so much smaller. The service was terrible, tables close together. Nearly every table had the remnants of previous customers on them. They are supposed to be sanitised between every customer. Nobody cared about track and trace. I thought it was supposed to be table service now, instead they shouted out when your order was ready. I have to stress that there were only 2 staff in there so it wasn’t their fault. They should have closed because COVID regulations were not being followed.

Used to be very good but things have changed. About 4 weeks ago they seem to have cut the staff and no longer bring your order to the table. Consequently there is often a long queue at the counter of people waiting for their order and others waiting to order. Tables are not being cleared as promptly, we have even had to clear a table for ourselves. I have complained twice to the company and not even had the courtesy of an acknowledgment.

Having been to Costa in Battle plenty of times, I've always considered it the nicest Costa I have ever been in. My opinion was further confirmed when my 10 year old grandson said to me, as we walked home after a lovely experience 'Nana, those people must really like working there, they're really nice'. That sums it up. Nice, genuine, cheerful helpful staff, not to mention the yumminess of the food and beverages. Thank you guys, for a lovely Nana/grandson experience today. xx

Being tourists from London we did the biggest tourist thing you could do and got lost. Luckily we remembered our way back to the high street, We saw a costa and headed straight there. As soon as we walked up to the counter me and my partner was greeted by a lovely blonde lady who had an amazing bubbly spirit and lifted our moods completely. She was very helpful when it came down to ordering and is definitely the type of person you need in London’s busy coffee/cafè shops. Really made our Wednesday afternoon.

Used to be good but now terrible. You would expect to at least get the drink you ordered. Flat White had more milk and less coffee than a Latte. They don't partake in the meal deal for some reason. I arrived at 16.15 and staff were already packing up and mopping the floor when they don't close until 17.30! Why bother staying open. Not conducive to a relaxing experience, even if you could get the coffee you wanted, its more like sitting in a cleaning cupboard out of hours! Id go to Costa in Tesco Bexhill. Superb coffee every time. Stick to this if you don't really care what coffee you drink. Shame as used to be 50/50. Also Wi-Fi is terrible.

This Costa has the friendliest staff I've encountered in a coffee shop in a long time! Really friendly and great service. The cafe itself could do with a refurb as its a bit tired but you'll get the coffee you expect 👍

Must have arrived at wrong time. Despite being quiet with few customers almost all free tables had cups and plates on them which needed clearing. Branch looked tatty and I've been here before. Will be thinking twice next time.

Worst Costa I've been in. Asked for extra hot, it was barely warm. Asked for replacement which wasn't much better. In need of revamp. Toilet dirty. Will not be going again

Were visiting Rye after spending a couple of days in Hastings. Found Globe Inn Marsh when searching for gluten free menus. Really varied menu and the food was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was really knowledgeable about gluten free options and was very friendly. The decor was really quirky and it was really relaxing inside. It is clearly a very popular restaurant, such a shame we live so far away!

Very disappointed with the food and the service. Worst moules marinieres I ever had with no cream garlic sauce either. We wanted to buy a bottle of wine and were told that it was not possible and that the wine had to be bought in a carafe! Never heard his before!? Service was really bad, they really need to train the staff. The bill was £150 for 2 really not worth it. Will not visit again sadly.

Lovely staff. Heinous ugly branding which spoils a stunning natural environment
