I was immediately impressed by the cost dim lighting and smart look on arrival. We both chose to have a jacket potato before heading to the counter to order. I noticed the counter was lacking in food, there were a few cakes available but the rest of the counter was empty, there did not appear to be any sandwiches or paninis. We went ahead and ordered our jacket potato to be told they didn’t have any. I instead chose the vegan gougon option, and whilst waiting to find out if this was available decided to order drinks. I was pleased to see the Costa menu on the wall behind and proceeded to order an iced latte. I was told at the counter that they did not make up cold drinks. I asked if this was the same for frappes that was also included on the menu board, I was told no cold drinks with the exception of the bottles and cartons in the fridge. The third and final disappointment came when I was told no vegan gougons available. We decided to leave and have lunch elsewhere. Bearing in mind this was just before 1pm, to have such a minimal choice of food is shocking. Also, I should add that the menu board needs to be adapted because it is completely misleading.

The staff are all very friendly, provide a swift service and the food is superb.

I also spoke to a Tom who was very welcoming. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
