Went to costa in hednesford this morning, approached the front of the shop and put my mask on. I noticed no one was waiting outside so I went in and joined the queue after hand sanitising my hands.

Read moreI visited today at about 1500hrs. I ordered a flat white coffee and a toasted tea cake. The coffee was gr8 as always. However whilst eating my tea cake, I was shocked to begin chewing a small piece ( 10mm x 10mm) of thin plastic. On examine the item I saw it was clearly a piece of plastic! I pointed it out to a member of staff who ,like me, were horrified! The money for the tea cake was refunded but felt it should be more. No explanation was given to me how the item could have got there. It could have been more serious had it been swallowed and...
