What customers say

Popped in here to grab 2 bottles of water to take on the hop on / off bus tour that goes from just across the road. They are clearly taking advantage of their captive audience - the prices are ridiculous. Two 500ml bottles of water, 1 still and 1 sparking, cost £4.73 (and I went for the cheapest option rather than Evian or San Pellegrino). I can get 2 small bottles of prosecco or 24 bottles of water for less than that in a supermarket! I probably would have bought more items if I hadn't been ripped off on the water, they should consider that.

Walked into this shop looking for something specific didn’t find it, so I calmly walked out. That’s when this small guy (maybe the owner?) suddenly snapped and told me “Dont walk in if youre not buying anything!. I told him: “Then hang a board outside saying no browsing allowed.” His response? Called me deaf, slammed the door yelling “GETTT OUTTT!” and ran inside like a little girl. If you enjoy being barked at.. then this is the place for you. Otherwise, avoid it like the plague.

Prices marked up for the tourist trade or those traveling via the nearby Waverley station (fair enough). What I didn’t expect was to be charged more than the stated price via contactless. Sneaky. Wont’t use again.
