We went on opening day after the school run. It was understandably very busy and well staffed (number wise obviously in preparation for opening rush) but what I hadn’t thought about was because they take cash payments it was FULL of high school kids. Most of them ordering frappes and milkshakes which took a long time to prep. As a result there was very long queues.
We won’t eat in again for a while until the rush to visit from the locals etc dies down. What is handy though is they offer other lunch food from M&S, so if you fancy something a bit different to the Costa food there’s that option with your coffee.
Outside area with benches is nice to sit at by the canal side.
Carpark is handy if you’re not a local enough to walk there.

My partner has anxiety and autism and this experience has completely put him off coming here again which is unfortunate because the location is so nice. We must of caught this lady at a bad moment but her attitude was awful. On top of that our hot chocolates were cold and didn’t taste like hot chocolate at all tasted watery. For £15 it was a complete...
Read moreVery poor hygiene standards on the day I visited ( 3 July 2023). This is a new service and they need to get their act together. Lots of rubbish outside at 11am created poor impression before even entering the building. Coffees were OK if tasteless but things went downhill upon visiting the unisex loo. No loo roll and no soap. As this is a food premises I reported the issue straight to a member of staff on duty. She looked disinterestedly at me and although we stayed at least 10 more minutes drinking our coffee no member of staff serviced the toilets in that time. They were not busy and were chatting to each other at...
