Firstly the only reason this post has 3 stars is because of Olivia T and Laura who were extremely helpful and apologetic, it would be lower otherwise.

Are you really selling a meringue as a biscuit? Highly disappointed as it is not what I expected. My coffee and service was polite and friendly but no offer of a Costa...
