Co-op Food - Lampeter

Was a nice shop had plenty to chose from and sold hot snacks

In general it's well stocked but I would suggest that it be used more for random bits or picnic food that you might need on short notice rather than regular weekly shopping. The car park has lots of space but is prone to flooding, though not particularly deeply, if you've got a good car and some wellies you'll be fine.

Good parking, lots of trolleys, small or no queues, polite staff, lots of choice of food

Good selection. Not cheap

Great range of stuff, especially drinks and fresh produce. The fresh produce is always excellent quality too. Prices are quite high for staple products so maybe don't do your 'big' shop here every week. Staff are normally very friendly and helpful, with the exception of the post office where they are slow, surly and miserable without fail. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

The fruit and veg was mainly empty. There is no one on checkouts at all. There seemed to be plenty of other foodstuff there though, I didn't look closely as I went in a specific item. I found most things quite expensive though.

As another reviewer stated, the lady on the till with braids is lovely and a credit to the store. However, she is new. The older staff are rude and ignorant. The store is clearly understaffed and from what I heard, the general miserable attitude is due to management (notably the store manager) that don’t care about their staff. The Co-Op is known locally for being notoriously rude and overpriced. It does have a good free car park (however susceptible to flooding often). However, if you go to the much friendlier and better equipped Sainsbury’s up the road, you will get your parking fee refunded if you spend £15 or more (or use one of the free spots in town). The shopping experience is much better. Something needs to change… I don’t want to spend most of my shop trying to find an assistant to help with my query. I’m older and don’t want to feel like I’ve done something wrong when I’ve asked a basic question. Avoid at all costs!

Did a brilliant shop for meals in our camper van. Over from France to attend two weddi gs. My son and daughter's wedding one week apart.

Came in looking for a charger I spoke to Bryn on the front desk where they sell the cigarettes very very helpful indeed, he told me everything I need to know and was very polite and he he was very well spoken for a Welshman, (it’s hard to getting use to this accent since I’ve been back in Lampeter)
