Quite small, so not selling lots of tools and seasonal items like other Lidl. But still appreciate it provided a bargaining choice of living essential in this central district.
I have been stopped multiple times by the security guard who works in this lidl for no reason, first after I had payed for all my groceries he stopped me asking for a receipt which I hadn't printed and had to ask the lady who helped me to see if I was OK to go, and now he doesn't even let me enter the store. Today, I was stopped by the same security guard again at the entrance and he wouldnt let me go through, then the manager came and said that "teenagers aren't aloud in at this time"?!!! it was only 17:50. Worse store ever and I will do a complain to the customer service about him.
Always far too busy, and poorly stocked. New layout is crap too. Sadly most of the male staff are unhelpful and rude. Try asking them about where items are located and be prepared for arrogant dismissal. Female staff are very friendly though.
Miserable experience every time I had the misfortune of going here. The store is very poorly designed and cannot reasonably accommodate the number of people they routinely get. It also feels like the store is always filled with people who are on earth for the first time in their life and don't know how to walk down a narrow corridor. The line is almost always huge, last time I went it stretched all the way around 2 isles and took around 15 minutes to get through. The workers seem to be very jittery and always seem to be mad at everyone and everything. The prices and selection are slightly better than other stores around but it's definitely not worth the madness. Update: they've updated the layout of the checkout so it's a tiny bit better now. A step in the right direction but my review still applies
I love Lidl and as far as they go this is a very good one. Well stocked and just a great place to shop, geneuinly so many good things here such as cheap sausage rolls, cheap oats, so many things. Definitely worth it if you’re a bit hungry looking for something cheap and i mean CHEAP to eat like you could feed yourself for under £1 here definitely.
Really good shop but again it's far too small I don't think there is anything Lidl could do to fix this problem other than get a much bigger store. You can't move in this Lidl and the baker area it's like a war . with everyone.just far too small of a shop for the amount of customers.
Decent sized lidil, good selection of products, ease of parking, large shopping trolleys, wide isles. Usual hold up at the tills, only two on, and a reasonable amount of people waiting , then fire through your shopping faster than you can bag it .
The staff with a crescent shape of tattoo on his forehead was extremely disrespectful and aggressive. I felt deeply offended and uncomfortable by his disturbing language. Strongly recommend avoiding this cashier if you don't want to be insulted after an exhausting day. Or more simply, avoiding this store as I am questioning whether their employee had been properly trained.
It's a very crowded, and tight space, not right for the quantity of people that go there. The entrance is very dirty and in the bakery section there's always plastic bags on the floor. It would also be a big improvement if you had only paper bags and not paper bags with plastic, how do you even recycle those? It's just a big unnecessary waste. However, the service was very nice and attentive, and there is a good variety of products.
Great opening hours (07:00-22:00). The staff are always courteous and friendly. Prices are very reasonable and shelves are kept well stocked.
