Cons:

  • "Went to the cafe and waited 35 minutes for fish and chips for the 2 of us."
  • "We thought we'd try again as food barely warm last time... Tables and floor not clean, we had to clear and clean our table."
  • "Cafe looks good but quality of fry up was not. It was cooked well but why not use it to showcase your best produce."
  • "Cafes Food was good for the price. But if busy can be a little slow, I waited 30mins in a line just to order and a further 15mins for my food."

Accessibility and Facility Maintenance

Pros:

  • "The customer lift is out of order, however, a store assistant informed me that there is an additional lift at the rear of the store."
  • "If it's raining when you travel, be warned that the car park gets incredibly water logged with puddles big enough to cover multiple parking spaces."

Cons:

  • "Don't rely on the electric car charging. Not working. No info on the charging point."
  • "Waited for 15 minutes at the kiosk counter waiting for a staff member to let me have a disability scooter with a charged battery. I gave up and left."

  • "This Sainsbury store is 100% better than the one in truro the staff are better and more helpful and friendly the cafe is excellent."

Cons:

  • "I struggle with availability at this sainsburys and the standards have dropped considerably over the last 3 years."
  • "Food prices incorrectly marked. Used the smart shop scanner. Informed the checkout staff and had to spend 10 minutes unpacking our bagged shopping."
  • "Despite some great stock, continually deliver baked goods that are past BB date! Has happened for months and no action being taken."
  • "Very dirty Cafe. No one wipes tables down so it's all very unhygienic. Not enough staff, waited so long to be served."
