IKEA in Tameside

Had a nice lunch with my son. Food was affordable and more discount for ikea family 😊 free hot drink with membership

When on the self scan I accidentally scanned an item twice I asked the assistant if they could remove and they said no I would have to pay then claim back at customer service, the customer service desk had 1 person on and a huge queue. Terrible service and terrible system

Food ok! Even after being launched at us! Worst service I have ever encountered, unfriendly, not helpful, miserable couldn't be bothered attitude fro start to finsh! If you hate your job that much don't do it!! WILL NOT BE RETURNING

Ordinary canteen, nothing special, the assortment is not great. But you should definitely try the mitballs, they are very tasty

Usually love a visit to ikea. Unfortunately, this was my 1st visit in a wheelchair, and I was a bit disappointed. On arrival, I asked about a wheelchair trolley, only to be told they don't do them, so a bag it was. Which obviously limited how much I could purchase. The actual venue is rather accessible, even with the current renovations going on. So this was a shock to me. Visited the cafe while there, which was being renovated, so not operating at it's normal level. But was still great food and service. I did use the toilet while there, and was disappointed to see that not only was it a rather small toilet, but it also had baby changing facilities inside. I do get why companies do this, but it's typically done wrong. As it was here. The amount of bins meant that I could not only not get next to the toilet to side transfer, but I also had trouble turning around in there. Not major things to the majority of people, but to those in wheelchairs, these things would make a huge difference if done properly

Tried to get a regular breakfast, but was informed there were no eggs, and offered an additional (greasy) hash brown. Not wanting an additional hash brown, I asked if I could have a piece of black pudding instead. That was refused on the grounds that it was an additional extra. How about Mushrooms then. No because that's part of the vegetarian breakfast. Totally inflexible. Also felt that the member of staff serving us was rude/abrupt. Sausages and bacon were average and beans are beans. The tomato was ok. The attitude of the staff made the overall experience unpleasant.

The click & collect service is a joke, ordered a glass top for a chest of drawers and waited and hour and a half for it to come out!! Last time I come to this one.

Absolutely brilliant very nice food hot dogs are a must same with the meatballs and jam very delicious delightfully food and the drinks are very refreshing also so it's kid friendly and very comfortable

bargain ,,,, deal ! use your family card ,,, Breakfast are decent :) I always have the vege meat balls :) both meals under a tenner !! :)

Although visited IKEA ,did not go into the restaurant

Visited here on Saturday and it was very busy. The queues were crazy! When we finally got to the front of the food queue, there was hardly any choice. Won’t be visiting again anytime soon!

The food was delicious and cheaper than other places

Had to exchange a draw front and some bits missing I was served by Roberto who was very helpful and did a quick service thank you good work Ashton store

Went in today bought a breakfast and it’s fair to say I was disappointed. Sausage looked like it had been cooked on the radiator. I’m pretty sure it oinked at me when I was paying. Toast and hash brown had sat there for that long they had lost any kind of crispyness. I wouldn’t mind we walked in as soon as it had opened. I got some butter, 10p they charged (Cheeky buggers) Only for me to accidentally drop it on my toe, pretty sure my big toe is broken. Plus was the free brew, but that was much needed to just warm me up from icy breakfast I’d consumed. I have fond memories of my 1st Ikea breakfast it was great value for money, it used to set me up nicely before I went and spent my monthly earnings and geared me up for another month ahead of putting the stuff together. Nowadays you pay cheap and get cheaper. Sort it out Ikea.

Very disappointed returns process at Manchester store! Tried to replace a £19 strip light due to a manufacturer faulty switch. Unfortunately the recipe was missing however after being quizzed for nearly 45 minutes a replacement was not offered!!!!! Having recently spent approximately £2.5-3k at IKEA in the past twelve months and also attending this store today to also pick up an order for £1200 I cannot believe that a goodwill gesture was not offered to replace the fitting. As a result I will purchase a replacement fitting to replace the faulty one, let’s hope this one works, however I will have a receipt for the new one so will be able to return if anything!!!!!! Goes wrong. If I could of cancelled my pick up order today I would of however the unit was required to complete a lounge set up so it was out of my hands, however it will be a long time before I make anymore if any transactions at IKEA in the near future.

Went today on behalf of a friend to order and collect a three seater settee, fortunately we were assisted by a young lady I think her name is Sarah who was the most polite and helpful person we have been assisted by for years, good luck at university, and well done IKEA

Very disappointed in the so called showrooms displays.. Intended to buy, it was much better a couple of years ago. Bedrooms,kitchens living rooms organised. Now a horrible mish mash.

Visit today Good food But very long queue in cafe to get food Need more people to serve please Furniture looks good bright and modern

SHAMBOLIC PLACE. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Managers and staff rude. utter confusion. Had to wait 3 hours in queue to be push away at checkout. Kept being told different things, do not recommend at all. Stay away at all cost!

Didn’t go. Google decides to send me a notification, despite having pretty much all notifications shut off on my phone because I have this crazy philosophy: just because I have a device connected to the internet it does not make ME connected to anything or anyone without my express permission. Until right now when google suggested I post my photo from Ikea restaurant when, in fact, I took a picture of an item’s ticket so I could find it in the warehouse part. So enjoy the product. Can’t remember what it was now, as it was in the moment. Rating the restaurant as average. Didn’t go, so had neither a good time or bad time. But I have a few mins while I finish my coffee to be a little snarky on the internet. If anyone is reading this, I do wonder what you think of things. Are you happy to be fed, just about, constant notifications from sources that aren’t likely to care about your wellbeing but absolutely wanting what they want from you? It’s all a bit odd for me. Then again, a few years back I was sick of my brain being a bit horrible so I spent time on how to think and now, love using my brain. You can too. Takes a bit of time but trust me, you’ll want to shut down pretty much everything because of how noisy and ultimately soul eating it is. Putting your phone down, these days, is probably the biggest act of activism available to you. Powers that be must be thanking their lucky stars mobile phones exist. Means they have an open door to your mind. It’s up to you to take care of that. So in conclusion. Eat there, or not. I don’t care. Neither should you. More to life than this.

Food fashions, unbelievable! Came all the way here to shop and have dinner and the menu was missing half the options!! Very disappointing

I know school holidays are not the best times to visit IKEA restraunts, it was very busy but the staff are exceptionally slow, there was a queue at both serving points both moving very slowly, it needed an extra member of staff at each position. Unfortunately this might have made things worse at the checkout, there was large queues at both tills, there is four tills but only two were working, then they closed one of the tills. When coming into the restaurant all the soft seating in the booths had been slashed, giving a great impression of the cafe/restraunt and a furniture store. We gave up on the restaurant after a long wait, did our shopping thinking we could get something from the bistro, here we found one member of staff who couldn’t work any slower, is there nobody in charge at Ashton, gave up on the bistro too, will not be visiting again especially during school holidays as I wouldn’t like to disturb the staff.

Food is good, service is very slow, took 40 mins to get to payment

Back at IKEA today for another round of those irresistible meatballs! 🍝😋 Can't get enough of them, they're simply the best! #IKEAMeatballs #FoodLovers #DeliciousTreats

My toddler asks to go here sometimes for food, I wouldn't bother if she didn't. The board with the menu changes quicker than anyone could possibly read it and then they never have what you want when you get to the front, staff never seem to restock. The veggie option was sold out and they offered us chicken as a replacement bizarrely. I asked for a menu and they couldn't give me one, so you no time to decide while a big queue is behind you. It's just awful and dirty and poorly layed out. The furniture is trash too, we got a wardrobe, it broke within a month.

Gave plant balls a try and was impressed. The veggie ragu and couscous that came with it were good too. Glad to be able to reduce meat consumption.

Did you really visit Ikea if you didn’t have the meatballs? Well on this occasion I wished we hadn’t bothered. It wasn’t very busy in the restaurant on our visit so maybe that’s why our food wasn’t great. The meatballs were dry and tasteless and am sure that the gravy tasted watered down. Usually the gravy is lush but not today. The food wasn’t piping hot as it usually is. We ended up leaving most of the meatballs .. fizzing that I had ordered the larger portion, what a waste! When we left just before 8pm, we were hoping to grab a hotdog, ice cream for a snack to make up for the disappointing meal …. BUT the cafe downstairs was already closed and roped off!!

As a client and ikea family member for more than 15 years I bought a product placed in the wrong isle and unfortunately it wasn’t the item I was meant to buy and as I went to refund the item they said that wasn’t possible as I had already opened it. The most unhelpful customer service experience in my life and the person who attended us was named Deacon(customer service manager), he wasn’t professional and he wasn’t polite and also very rude. Be aware that when you buy anything from ikea, any item that is open won’t be accepted for a refund. The managers attitude is absolutely disgusting and I will never shop there again

I visited ikea with my daughter to get a shelving unit. Have been visiting regularly since it opened and have always had an enjoyable experience. However, we visited the cafe for some lunch and I asked for a decaf tea (I’m allergic to caffeine) the girl on the till gave me a sachet of decaf coffee so I pointed out it was coffee, not tea, and she proceeded to speak to me like an idiot and pointed to the word “decaf” on the sachet. I told her I could see it was decaf but coffee and not tea. She then said they didn’t sell decaf tea. I have had decaf tea here on many occasions so knew this wasn’t the case but her curt manner discouraged me from arguing it so I settled for herbal. On reaching a table in what was quite a busy restaurant, we found it to be filthy with various spills and food over it. As it was so busy I found a staff member and asked for a cloth so I could wipe it down myself. He refused to give me a cloth saying he would come and do it for me when he’d finished his task. As our food was now going cold I again offered to wipe it myself if he could point me in the direction of a cloth. He completely ignored me so we ended up eating our food off trays. He still hadn’t been over to clean it when we left. The rest of the staff in the store were courteous when I encountered them. But avoid the restaurant at all costs as the standard has definitely slipped!

Disigenuous to call Ashton under Lyne Manchester. If you're not from the area, Ashton is 7.4 miles away. The store was built high-rise inexplicably in a town, making it very congested with people and traffic, I also found it very confusing to enter the carpark. I had to drive around a few times in heavt traffic to find the entrance. There were enough staff around the store, who gave me conflicting internal directions, there were insufficient staff on the tills, so queus were enormous and staff under pressure. The managers will know the ebbs and flows of customers at particular times, so should staff accordingly. I abandonded my bag of items as the queue was too long. I was told a food item was out of stock due to brexit. I don't plan to return, ever. I don't remember the Warrington one being quite so bad, but you have to pick your moment.

Bought a rug which was very poor quality and nothing like what was on display. Literally opened packaging, put it on the floor and immediately knew it was total sh*te so I packaged it back up to return. Only to be told the refund would have to go on a card. I asked why and they said it was because it had been opened. I explained that how on earth is anyone supposed to ascertain the quality of an item when it’s wrapped in plastic? They argued ‘most’ rugs were on display. I then asked why they had signage all through the warehouse saying ‘it’s ok to change your mind’ when clearly IT ISN’T!! Outright lies! I was told the return policy was on the website. I said why on earth would I check the website when I’m in the store with all this reassuring signage saying you can return up to 365 days! I’ve since checked the website and it says NOTHING about the method of the refund - it simply states if the item has its packaging and is in a resaleable condition you can get a refund. Not a gift card, an REFUND. To me that means money back in my bank! After my experience I’ll never shop at ikea again. I have a bathroom cabinet I’ve not opened yet and I’ll be returning that. I’d rather pay double elsewhere than let ikea have any of my money. I’ll be emailing the CEO (yes Tony at Ashton, there is a UK CEO you lanky long haired balloon and it’s not just ‘owned by people in Sweden’ as you said you idiot).

Terrible experience at Ashton Under Lyne Manager Natalie unhelpful and very sarcastic. I returned a kitchen inner cupboard as was not compatible with my kitchen ; Ikea kitchens are not standard size, only to be told you have opened the package so can not have a refund! Did not know until opened it would not fit, there were no sizes on outer packaging. The parts were all there and in immaculate condition. This is a dreadful policy and I am not entirely sure the Manager knows her company policies entirely! I will not shop there again and I have spent a lot of money there in the past, as far back as the eighties when Ikea arrived in Warrington,

Went to IKEA with my wife and 9 month old baby. Bought a clamp on desk lamp which was advertised over the shelf with a banner at £13.00. Went to the till and the scan showed £17.00. Told the member of staff on the till that it was shown at £13.00. He told ME that I had to go and take a picture to prove it! I asked him if he could call a colleague to find out and he said NO there’s nobody in that department! This meant I had to go up the lift to the top floor, trundle all the way around the one way system and go down to the first floor to take a photo to prove to them their mistake! I complained to the manager who insincerely apologised and then stared at me “meaning I can go now!”. It felt like they cared more about the feelings of their staff than their customers. This spoiled my day and all because the staff were lazy.

The restaurant is wide and family friendly. It provides trolleys for family to take several trays. Foods are IKEA foods which you can buy after G/F checkout. Their meals attract you to buy the foods and cook at home.

I came with my family on 25/10 and went for lunch at around 12.30. Disappointed to find that half their food had run out by lunch time. They had no chicken left for the kids meal and no chips/potato’s. I had to order them an adult version with mash, it was meant to come with broccoli but guess what they had ran out so we got peas. They had also ran out of garlic bread. The dessert were nice it was just unfortunate about the main meal. Turned out very expensive for food we didn’t really want. From this experience we won’t be visiting the restaurant again.

Loved my meal, great staff, great food

What is the first things you do when your Internet order arrives? Open it and check what has been delivered is what you was expecting? I spent over 90 minutes travelling to the Ashton-under-Lyne store only to be told Ikea does not accept anything back that has been opened. One for Treading Standards and Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.

It's IKEA canteen. It isn't haute cuisine. But...Perhaps it's me, but it always seems like a disorganised school canteen. On this occasion the food was lukewarm the queue was huge, when the second counter opened there was no control of the tidal surge of people who dashed across. The drinks machines had nozzles missing and some out of order, the service at the till slow and disorganised. There is no instructions for the uninitiated. Are the drinks refillable? The man on the till asked if it wanted to pay for a refillable drink but then there was signs saying drinks arnt refillable. Poor considering all the kit and space they have.

Love a trip to IKEA, however always difficult to get out of the place!! Parking is alright and usually plenty of spaces. Like how there is a one way system around the store and all the bargains you can get. Unfortunately you end up paying...

Good food at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and helpful when serving.

I visited Ikea MANCHESTER today with my sister whom I live with. As we only needed to buy some frames for Christmas presents we tried to take the lift from the top floor to the middle floor only to be accosted by a security guard...

IKEA have a member of staff controlling entry to the lifts as you leave the Manchester store.The member of staff gestured for me to get into a lift with people I don't know so I explained that I am not part of their bubble and I didn't want to get into an enclosed space with strangers.The member of staff replied "Well, you're not getting in one on your own" and refused to let me into a lift.I feel it is very unreasonable of IKEA to force people into taking risks they are not comfortable with and I won't be going there again.

I bought a chair cover a couple of weeks ago but it didnt fit the chair intended, so today I went to return it with the receipt and unused only to be told because the packaging was ripped open I couldnt get a refund. The packaging was not the kind that you could open and then re-seal back up. The assistant and manager said they couldnt do a refund because they couldnt sell it on because of the packaging, and thats Ikeas policy and it was up to me to know the policy, I asked how would I know the policy, the answer was you have to look on line. Who looks on line at a stores returns policy before they buy anything, never heard so much rubbish in my life, so I am now left with a product that I cannot use. So beware before you buy anything from Ikea read the returns policy before you shop, I will never shop there again.

Polite and helpful staff. Special thanks to Rachel and her colleagues that helped finding my son's lost teddy. You've made him very happy.

Don't go here as a single adult with mobility issues. The majority of disabled parking spaces have been removed to allow for distanced queuing. Having received damaged kitchen doors through delivery, the only option is to return instore. Having spent an hour and a half returning said doors, I was then forced to exit the store and walk the whole route again due to their one way system, a good 45 min walk for me with agonising sciatic pain in order to purchase replacement doors. I had to take a wheelchair and with considerable difficulty to propel myself. I know these are difficult times, but come on Ikea, you need to do better by your less physically able customers, Covid 19 or no Covid 19!

I went to IKEA with my mum on Friday and we were both very pleased about how clean and tidy the shop is. But we noticed that there was a couple of bottles of rhubarb juice on the furniture aisle. Which was a bit random.

The worst Fish and Chips ever the chips was cold and rock hard and the fish was short of disgusting and whats with the gravy thing that tastes of nothing cost us £11.00 never again will we go to Ikea for dinner

Ikea has basically everything you need to furnish a house. The last time I was in Manchester, I bought some customised wardrobes and I was impressed with how helpful the lady who helped me was. She was really patient; I had to go back several times to check on a few items I wanted and she was quite happy to keep things on hold for me. She made the whole process really easy.I also like that unlike Warrington, the restaurant is virtually in the middle of the store. You can rest mid-way, have a drink or a bite and then carry on with your shopping. I also prefer parking in Manchester than at Warrington. You can park protected from the weather at Manchester by going up the ramp. I always enjoy my visits to any Ikea, although some more than others.

Me and the Mrs shopping in Ashton today went to ikea for breakfast, u won't get a better breakfast anywhere for a fiver plus unlimited coffee wished I lived in Ashton

The food was OK, but was spoiled by having to use wooden cutlery, I know this might help the planet but if I do go back in there for a meal I will try to remember to bring my own cutlery and a proper cup. I could go into the shop and get some cutlery and cups before going into the restaurant. Ikea might want to change the menu to suit their wooden cutlery, more suited to under 5’s, sandwiches, hamburgers and hot dogs, but definitely no peas.

Have never seen such filthy trays, dirty glasses and crusty cutlery. We nearly turned round and walked out but, having come to IKEA specially, and needing some lunch, we carried on.We looked through the piles of trays trying to find a clean one before giving up and going for the least dirty, likewise the glasses. The cutlery had dried food residue on it.The food was adequate - not very hot - and my biryani and veggie meatballs tasted like they'd been congealing on the hot plates for a good while. My husband had the meatballs - also lukewarm.No-one expects fine dining at IKEA, but cleanliness and hot food are pretty basic requirements.Tables were grubby too.

Had breakfast here. Never again! The bacon had not been drained of fat properly and there were huge congealed lumps of it all over. The egg omelette tasted awful. Sausage was passable. Beans and tomato ok.

Love the economy of IKEA, just what you want for a familly trawl through the soft furnishings section. Just keep some space for the Hot Dog after checkout!

My idea of heaven!! I love IKEA and so do my husband and the kids. We love the food which is yummy (and cheap) we love the furniture and always grab a bargain. The children learn lots about costs and measurements and it's sparks their imagination about design and colour. Win win win!!

I never usually write reviews however the experience was too good not to share. I went into Ikea with my Mother for a new wardrobe and decided as it was around dinner time that we would stop by the restaurant for some food. It was our first time in the restaurant and found the layout a bit confusing, so asked a member of staff with the name of Bethany to help us, and not only did she tell us how it worked, she actually brought us over the trays with glasses on which we had walked past, which we thought was a lovely gesture. We had a fish and chip and a meatball meal with a cake afterwards, which was lovely and great value for money. Whilst I went to get the wardrobe my mother (who has recently had a stroke) stayed in the restaurant as she cannot walk very far and is unsteady on her feet. When rejoining her, she told me all about how the same girl (Bethany) had made her tea for her and carried it over to the table as she could see she was struggling to walk, and how lovely she was to chat to and was always smiling. We can safely say that it was a great experience from start to finish, with great food which was all topped off by the lovely young lady who went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend, and me and my mother are already planning our next trip!

Went here today with my daughter and grandchildren. After trying to find our way around this windowless maze of a place, we went into the central cafe for snacks and drinks. With my daughter and the kids settled near the play area, with food and drinks, I decided to take my tepid hot chocolate outside for a smoke, as I had found the shopping experience claustrophobic and stressful. I summoned the lift to go down 2 floors, and was approached by 1 of the staff members seemingly guarding the lift, with one of those airport security paddles. She told me I could not take my drink out of the cafe. I assured her I would bring the cup back but she was adamant.

Just a quick review on today's visit.We'd decided to call into Ikea for something for the daughter,but as we were there early,a breakfast beckoned.

Quick service & moderately priced. Not many items to choose from. Difficult to locate water even after asking.

I went to get a bookshelf and the design of the store makes it nigh on impossible to get in and out quick. It's a maze which attempts to dazzle you for things you never wanted and you can not navigate easily to the one thing you went for .

THE MOST DISGUSTING FOOD I HAVE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE. if you are thinking of eating in the Ikea cafe, stop and jump out the window, you would be doing yourself a favour and saving yourself the money!!!

Ikea restaurant and cafe is very much a “what you see is what you get” quick and easy food place located within the Ikea store at Ashton. We have eaten here many times and never had a bad meal. The staff are always friendly and quick to serve and the food is always delicious. Meatballs or fish and chips are a firm favourite, also the deserts are all delicious! Worth a trip for a cheeky weeknight treat or while shopping in Ikea. Great prices too for what you get.

Myself and two family members arrived after getting off the tram and we were surprised to find that it was so close and we just had to cross the road to get there.

Wednesday morning, this is probably the best time to come,come along,without the partner or children, be early,get yourself a breakfast, no long que's or screaming kids,it's not the weekend or bank holiday, nice & peaceful.

Had a lovely bowl of soup with a roll for lunch. Very reasonable charges. Managed to get all items that we needed including a tin of their lovely ginger biscuits.

I went to ikea on 13.4.19 and the visit was amazing like always :D I’ve been ikea plenty of times and they always impress!! The food is always amazing and the shop is the best!!

Before attempting to follow the yellow brick road with the arrows on the floor around the whole store, even though my wife stated we just needed a bathroom mirror, we decided to visit the Restaurant to give us extra ‘fuel’ before trying to get around without too big a dent in my wallet.

Some of the reviews here arent the best but I must have picked a good day on a Wednesday afternoon..place clean..noticed lots more seating now since last time I went..I had the cheese and onion kiev and the chicken was really thick and freshly cooked..my mum had the salmon and sed it was perfect..we had desserts and drinks and would definitely go again..

It's huge and therefore noisy. We queued a while for the hot food. I'm sure they used to serve meatballs in portions of 10 or 15. Now, it's 15 or 20. Who could possibly want 20 meatballs, we laughed? The rather large lady in front of us, that's who.

We were in the area of Ikea Manchester & fancied a quick pit stop.

Service very slow and un -organised needs more staff and get the place cleaned up,Health would shut it down,if the seating area is anything to go by goodness knows how dirty the cooking areas are,nothing nice to say.

The half chicken was awful, I have never tasted the chicken so dry that I couldn't even put in my mouth. I will never eat here again.

A typical ikea, meatballs and chips, free wifi, free coffee (Mon-Fri- with a family card). good value, ample parking.

We used to look forward to eating at IKEA as part of the shopping experience. Unfortunately the last year has been marred with disappointments. Lovely ads are up telling you what is on offer but by the time you've cued up and get to the server it is no longer available or at numerous times very over cooked and over priced. The only highlight are the meat balls but you can have that too many times as well. A few times there has been no Swedish lagers available even though they could've got some from the shop downstairs.It is a shame and we no longer bother to eat here any more. We usually come here in the week as it is quiet and not busy so there should not be any issues like these. Come on Ashton keep up with the Swedish standards and shape up !

We’ve been here a few times this year but found we’ve had better service late afternoon. There are more quieter tables to be found and the restaurant is so much cleaner.

The food is good value for money and has the usual Scandinavian choices that are the trademark of Ikea. The service tends to be slow, not helped by the layout which is confusing and seems to allow only one person at a time to be served. Separating the hot food from the chill section would be an improvement.

estive no IKEA para efetuar compras e aproveitei para almoçar em seu restaurante que tem um bom custo/benefício pois voce tem várias opções de pratos e o atendimento é rápido.

Take a deep breath and just follow the arrows. Thought if would be quiet 11AM on a Monday but it was packed. Long, long queue for wardrobe design and restaurant busy so moving slow. Great food and excellent service, so good idea to eat early on before continuing on your trek.

Simple and done well! The place was busy we did have to wait a good 10 mins to get our food but for the price and quality you can’t complain! The meatballs are legendary you can get 10, 15 or 20 with mash, chips or potatoes with or without gravy - scrummy! The staff are pleasant and the seating areas are kept pretty clean especially when selfish people can’t be bothered to put a tray in the cleaning area and feel the need to leave rubbish all over the floor! #rantover! Got 3 packs of the meatballs to take home. Thanks xxx

Chicken kiev with cheese and leek filling, chips and peas, cold. Back kitchen staff yelling at top of voice for all staff to stop serving, which they did. Massive wait for food, massive wait to pay. food cold. Poor show all round. The best thing they do is the prawn and egg open sandwich.

Popped in to the resturant for a bite to eat during our shopping trip. We had to wait a fair while in the que before being served, the staff appeared bored and not very interested in the customers. We ordered half a chicken, chips and it came with 2 corn on the cobs which was more than enough for 2 of us. Huge portion of very tasty food with a small price tag.

I should start by saying... I LOVE Ikea. I love the style, the furniture, looking through all the treasures that you can find there. It’s amazing.

A really interesting store and after your shopping experience visit the restaurant and enjoy the favourite Swedish Meatballs

I really think that the food and drink in Ikea is not the bargain that it used to be. The breakfast rolls are cheap but the main meals I think now are not good value, also by the time you pay, collect condiments and cutlery the food is cold. The coffee was not piping hot either. Sorry for moaning but don't think I will eat in Ikea again.

Anyone who has been to IKEA adores the place its a fantastic place to go shopping for the whole house. If you want to get lost doing shopping for a good 3 hours then pop in! You certainly will love the authentic Swedish furniture and the way they lay out the bedroom is amazing. IKEA is the place to go of you want to be smart with your space at hole from the best way to utilize your kitchen draws to storing all your clutter in a neat tidy way then I tell you IKEA is the best place to come!

just got back from ikea ashton great experience staff helpful bought a winged back armchair got back to the car couldnt get it in the back of the car. Then along came dave (a hero collecting trollies) he not only assisted my husband to remove the chair (dave did most of the pulling) he then helped to remove the packaging. Then with a wave and a whistle he took the packaging away for us. Great experiance and i also saved 75pounds on the chair so well done ikea, but a big thanks to dave 2 gratefull pensioners thank you.

When you visit Ikea it feels like any other Ikea. That's the idea I suppose. This one meets you with a long winding road into the parking bays on floors 3 & 4. The top floor for the shop is on floor 3, so it was good to find the café cum restaurant there ready to greet you.
