Not a big store but still manages to have a good range of produce. Staff are all friendly and helpful. There is also a post office counter in the shop. The small ish car park can get busy during peak periods and some are not always considerate when parking. The disabled spaces regularly get used by those that aren't. It is a bit pricy but then you're paying for the convenience.

Elaine was fantastic! I've never left a co-op store smiling before. She brings soul to the business.

Update- haven’t had the issue below in a few years’ now and the staff in this store are absolutely lovely. It also has a post office which is very helpful. Previous review 2018: Make sure you get a receipt and check it! Myself and other family members have been overcharged often enough that we no longer feel it is happening due to genuine mistakes. Especially as they are never very keen to give you a receipt!

It's a small store so doesn't stock everything but everything in there is good quality, and a good shelf life /date. Staff are very friendly. There's a small post office available to send packages from.

Great local shop for getting a few bits rather than going to the big supermarkets. Obviously doesn't sell everything as it's a small store. Staff are amazing, it's a bit of a victim of it's own success as always very busy. They've now got the post office there with no apparent uplift of staff. Poor things are working hard to cover the very busy post office which drags them away from store and also COVID means someone is managing the entrance to ensure social distancing etc... Senior management need to address resourcing to support their staff and customer satisfaction.
