The Co-operative Food

Every time i go in this shop i rarely come out with what i need,As they never seem to have much at all in stock!!!They add a pound to everything so super expensiveand for the service its an absolute jokeI think a be a few mins if that to get what i need and it takes up 7+ mins for one itemas the staff are slow and generally only one person on the tillThank god that sharon woman left! As she was the absolute slowest.It's a S**t of a shop - your better of going to the one at the end of the road or even Sainsburys

Terrible at stock management and the special offers are rubbish that just try to get you to buy more stuff you don't need. Consistently one of the worst supermarkets.

Great staff good selection

Great for quick shops

Nice little supermarket, has the essentials. Friendly staff

Lovely hard working staff but stock issues mean I go elsewhere. Eg no sultanas on shelf for weeks, strawberry shortage in summer, no pitta bread in stock, no feta cheese. Sainsbury’s down the road is more reliable and often cheaper. Also it would be good to see more loose veg as I live alone so multipacks are not good value (plus adds to packaging waste).

I had to laugh at the ex co-op managers comments I guess this is why he is an ex manager.The staff in this shop are are not rude in the slightest I find it to be one of the best supermarkets in town it's very friendly staff

This must be the store where the most unhappiest and grumpiest staff work, I have no choice but to use your store because I am lazy, however, it is never a pleasure shopping there.You ask for something, you get a blunt reply: No. Okay, then thanks. Don't even bother telling me when it's next in or anything will you!!Whoever does the gap report is clearly rubbish at it, the shelves are always empty. Never have what you want, and the range for the area is ridiculous.And when you decide you want to pay for your stuff, the staff look like they don't want to be there.. no hello, no smile, just a straight up 'do you want a bag' not, would you like a bag, no conversation, no eye contact, no thank you and NO goodbye, today, I was served by a blonde lady... Either she just didn't like me, or she had lost her tounge. She made me feel quite uncomfortable and like I was a hendrince for being there and taking up her time.As an ex coop manager - I'd be ashamed of this shop and the staff that run it.It's never a pleasure, the staff are rude, the shelves are always empty.... I find myself venturing down the other end of Portland road... To Sainsbury's or the other Coop which is 100x better. #sortitout.

Not open until 11pm as stated on the storefront and on their websiteEdit: After several years this has now been updated to 10pm. It's still eye-wateringly expensive though, nearby convenience stores often cheaper for some things.

Completely understocked and rude staff. This CO-OP is my local, and I must say its never been a pleasure to shop in there! There is an older woman who usually wears orange glasses... She's very rude. Tonight, my card was declined, I had bought the wrong card with me, I apologised and explained that I had bought the wrong card with me.. she replied with an eye roll. It is embarassing as it is having your card declined, but when someone serving you is as rude as she was; it makes you feel more uncomtable. It's a couple of times now that my family and I have witnessed this women's rude behaviour. Sort it out.
