I went past this place today and was surprised to see several taxis dropping people off to access this hub. Surely, if people can afford taxis they dont need food banks? Cant see the reasoning. I personally used to travel miles on the bus or walk to get to shops.. can someone explain. Also, I saw a man carrying a tray of milk bottles away from the service.. Did he really need so much milk? I think these

Amazed to read some of the "down right awful" reviews that a few people have submitted . Personally I cannot praise the shop nor the staff enough and "Linda" on the sales counter is amazing !! 5 Stars from me .

Wouldn’t even give this place 1 star after the trouble members off staff caused. After spending £60 in this shop, we parked up with disability badges due to a family member not being able to walk far, also while this was happening another family member was still being served in the shop. One of the lovely members off staff walked past and was calling us because we was parked up to another member of staff. We explained to her that we have disabled badges and her attitude changed to the car was parked abit on the curb like many other vehicles. She then walked past with a trolley and She still continued to shout abuse, calling us to other members off staff and other customers. We went into the shop to see where our family member was in the queue so we could leave and still continued to get abuse. She was shouting at other customers stood outside who was just standing there for no reason whatsoever. For my first visit, I definitely won’t be visiting again. You would think these members of staff would be more understanding with people with disabilities and that not every disability is visible. If we was in the way, all it would off took was a very polite please could you move your vehicle and it would off been done. Very very rude. Also I would like to add the women was claiming to everyone we shouted at her, little does she know that I’m also registered deaf and talk abit louder than a usual person. Also another disability that isn’t visible

Rude person on the phone. Also, there was someone who displayed anti social behaviour who left their premises (worker or customer) and staff did not care. Reported. Thanks for your support.

Strange setup inside lots of stock but not much prised and it's too busy to find sombody to ask. Some items were a bargain but some close to normal shop prices. Could do with bigger better laid out premises but that costs money granted. Overall it fills a need of sorts.

Visited today in a melt down got bossed around to not open freezer cupboards nor leave my basket alone for a moment. Got home most of food are completely out of date. No wonder I feel ill and sick. Don't make the vulnerable more unwell out of their desperation would prefer to starve

The staff are brilliant. In between jobs and left for dead by UC I spoke to the council and got a voucher. I’d not ate for days. What a brilliant place, supported by staff presumably volunteers. We’re all one paycheck short or a denied claim from the streets. Thankyou all!

A brilliant idea helps a lot of people in the community and a great way to reduce food waste with a provision for disabled access on request.

I think there needs to be better pricing instructions as I was a new customer and I felt like I was getting funny looks from people and when I was in line somehow I was talking to was gossiping about people who were getting help with the 10 pound vouchers when they seem that u had one myself they laughed it off and said its a good job I didn't say anything else and it made me feel awkward and made me wonder if others were thinking the same way but I think it's definitely a good thing to have and think the volunteers do a great job

Great little place, parking near there is a bit of a nightmare but that's not their fault. I hate food waste so this place is fantastic.

Hi, the reason I put a 4 star is because the shop is only small, and I think it's becoming more popular and busier, not fault of your own, just a but squashy, but overall, it's a great place to get a great deal x

A brilliant place to buy food and consumables that may be past their best before date. There is also excess food donated from large supermarkets. This helps against food poverty and also landfill.

Janet Hull

Fantastic place for the community and surrounding areas. Saving food from going to the landfill and helping those in need. The staff are lovely too! Fantastic if you’re on a budget and especially with the current climate and furlough. Win win really. Prices are labelled with red or green dots for 50p or £1 and far cheaper than the supermarkets for the same products. The work they do beyond the shop too is amazing! Would be great to see more of these places around the country.
