Costa Coffee Hyde in Tameside

We order a couple of times a month because the food is by far the best we’ve ever had from a Chinese takeaway… Even knowing it can often take a couple of hours for it to be delivered. If we’re hungry and want it early we collect instead. We live in GeeCross and have tried to find a better local Chinese between Hyde/Marple etc but nowhere comes close on quality and taste, big portions and usually one of the cheapest. Of course we would love delivery to be quicker and more reliable… but we put up with that because we just can’t get better food anywhere else. Highly recommended salt & pepper wings & chips, prawn toast, beef chow-main, sweet & sour chicken.

Always hot fresh and delivered with a smile. The meatball pizza is delicious. Nevet had a bad experience here and use delivery and collection

The 4 cheese is the Best pizza we’ve all had in a long time and the garlic bread is awesome with pieces of fresh crushed garlic in with the butter

The quarter pounder with cheese had zero salad, only a couple of slivers of onion and burnt bits on the burgers. The chips were cold, and the floor was filthy

Paper plates and cups?!?! After joining the huge queue, was curious as to why I could not find any crockery for my sandwich and cakes. Only when I got the front of the queue were we informed that the dishwasher was broke, hence paper plates, cups and wooden cutlery. Only one person on the till which explained the extremely long queue. Am a frequent visitor to the cafe and really do enjoy the marks and spencer pot of tea but today was just a let down. Cafe staff serving tea in a paper cup. Only half filled the cup and had to tell them how much milk was needed, but by the time we sat down at our table, the tea bag had stewed and the tea was far too strong - no extra milk provided. Usually you can get a good three cups of tea from the teapot but today, was literally three quarters of a cup of below standard tea. No discount offered to costumers either despite having to use paper plates, wooded cutlery etc The cafe needs at least another three or four members of staff as queuing times are too long, tables are not cleared quick enough and the wait for hot food is becoming longer and longer each time i visit. I do note that no comments from management are ever posted on M&S reviews on trip advisor which makes me believe they are not interested in substandard service being offered to customers.
