Great shop. But since Aldi opended I've been continually frustrated with them stopping some lines of product / food. I wouldn't mind, if Aldi sold it, but the items I refer too, Adli do not sell!! So why stop selling them? Makes no sense!
Large Co-op! Has a cafe and at times I have visited, hasn't been too busy. Nice, wide aisles!
Wide selection of food and drink. Wide selection of good frozen ready meals and Fieldfare loose frozen food from veg to croissants to tarts and fruit. Wcs on site, cafe and good parking. Helpful and friendly staff.
Really good shop with a great selection of products. Also staff provide excellent customer service and will go over and beyond to help you.
This branch of the Co-op is excellent. It's usually well stocked, plenty of parking and helpful staff. There could do with being additional stock provided in the bakery area as it's normally empty by lunchtime, and the sandwich selection can often be rather bare too. Otherwise, the store is huge and even has a cafe bolted on. I would suggest the addition of outdoor seating/benches around so that I have somewhere to sit and eat the sandwich I purchase.
Went to buy a pizza that was priced at £3.00 only for it be priced at £5.25 I told them that it was priced at £3.00 and they told that it was another pizza that should of been placed there. Next time don't place your food items in the wrong place. The woman serving me had no clue of why it was wrong when I questioned the price, this is bad on there behalf placing things in the wrong place. Roll on ALDI opening!!
Went to the cafe for a breakfast. The first time I stood waiting for service.. An obviously well known customer came in after me and they started serving them and I was ignored. I gave it 5 minutes then left, I had to be at work and was completely blanked. The customers eating in watched me walk out and looked as shocked as I was, as they had watched me waiting. None the less the breakfast looked good so I returned a few days later, breakfast was great. It was so great I then returned the next day for another! 6 hours later after eating nothing but this breakfast.. I had violent sickness and diorreah. For reference I do not usually get sickness and have not vomited in over 3 years which made it all the more unpleasant. I was also stood waiting again for service watching the staff jump and joke about the kitchen for some new signs they had or something similar in the back until someone clocked me and nodded to the front of house. Very disappointed and won't be visiting again. One bout of sickness is one to many for a 'professional' cafe. I'm disappointed I gave you the benefit of the doubt in the first place due to the service. I will be sticking to my usual cafe which is a bit more of a drive but quality cooked meat (cooked properly). When I am ready to get breakfast again, because for now COOP has put me off breakfast all together.
The store itself seems modern and clean, but I also visited the cafe whilst my partner was in a meeting to pass time, and this is the exact opposite. The cafe is very badly laid out, with inadequate space, meaning if there is a wheelchair in the queue the whole queue has to move to let them out. Atmosphere and lighting was quite depressing, as was the area it was in.
A good range to make your own sandwiches. Used cheese spread, posh Italian selection mixed salad and 6 pack bagels (reduced to 65p). Came to £7, enough for 3 days breakfast and lunch :). At the café I had the all day brunch, 2 sausages, 1 bacon, 1 egg, beans and chips £4.70 (popped the egg by accident when taking the pic). It was ok but I wished the breakfast ran until lunch as it is only 07:00 to 11:30. Would be an absolute killer on Friday/payday to have an 11 item breakfast for £4.70!
