Caffe Nero

Had a coffee and lunch here a few times. Good coffee a plenty seating space. Service has been good.

I used to frequent this place before I had kids and thought it was great — how the world changes when you have a buggy in tow! Now it seems my reward fro spending my money here is scowls from unhelpful staff when I ask then to help me get to a table (on a very quiet day!), and a refusal to carry the tray for me, meaning that I had to carry a hot drink and a baby. It may have been just one member of staff, but it has put me off the branch full stop. They used to allow smoking and it means that it is popular with smokers who flock to the outside eating area making it wholly unsuitable to sit out with kids.

I visit Café Nero at least once a week and I think its wonderful. The staff are so friendly and I always receive quick service there. The atmosphere is very welcoming and relaxing and you really feel like you can unwind there. I have been going there for about four months, and after two the staff had remembered my regular drink.
The coffee is one of the best I’ve tasted as well. They give you two shots of coffee unless you say otherwise, so it can be a bit strong, but that suits me! I always have their vanilla latte which is delicious!
Their pastries are also absolutely delicious, melt in the mouth! I have only tried their sandwiches once, but really enjoyed them on that occasion. They also have a loyalty card so you can earn yourself some free coffee.
I would definitely recommend this café for a nice lunch, a coffee with friend or even just a quick latte on the way to work (like me!).

Its opposite M&S on the high st, the coffee is nice the food not so but to be honest i still go for the coffee, gets very busy on the weekends and at lunch and they dont always have trained staff
