You only have six? In a city the size of Chelmsford? We have three in our small town of Maldon!

That is disgusting 🤮😷.
I would definitely be making a complaint. I would've done before but even more so now with covid. Like you say just totally unacceptable! X

Ah but the way they keep building ‘new homes’ in Maldon, very soon it will be the same size as Chelmsford !
My nephew & his fiancée are moving into one of those new homes on Fambridge Rd on Fri. My sister and I went to the Costa at the new-ish Causeway shopping area last week - nice branch of Home Bargains you have there ! |

Surprised if people are or continue going to the likes of Costa, Starbucks & Caffè Nero in the larger towns & cities.
Pret now seems to be the coffee shop of choice since their Barista subscription launched. Everyone in the queue has their phone out to scan their Pret code; a barista told us the other day that hardly anyone ‘pays’ for their drinks in Pret now. Up to 5 coffees of any type, teas, iced drinks or frappes a day (30 minutes between each drink) every day for £20 per month with the first month free; I imagine many now walk past Costa or Starbucks to visit Pret instead; we do! I do realise that living in London, we are spoiled with the number of Prets (& others). Edited at 08:01 AM. |

We had an independent open near us just before last Xmas. They’ve managed to keep going through the pandemic. Service is so much better than costa and all food is locally sourced and freshly cooked. I used to love Costa but I don’t frequent them much now

Is it new? I don’t really know Barry.
We had lovely fish and chips from the chippy too.

Ah, it was Holton Road. We did see the other one though as we were at Pets at Home later.
We did go to Goodsheds a few weeks ago but it wasn’t a good experience, too many people and badly organised. We were told we could sit at a particular table till 1pm but our pizza took over half an hour to arrive and we had to eat it walking around. That said, it was a lovely pizza. We may go back on a weekday when we are free sometime.
