I had an outstanding experience at this post office, thanks to the manager Christopher. From the moment I walked in, he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I had a slightly complicated issue however Christopher went above and beyond to be accommodating, taking the time to explain my options and helping me find the most efficient solution. It is rare to receive such a personalised, kind service at a post office and I truly appreciate his help. This location is lucky to have such a dedicated leader!

Extremely rude and patronising staff member. I asked to pay in some £2 coins and was asked if I was a business to which I replied no. I had googled prior to attending whether post offices accept £2 coins in bags and they do. I was told that only businesses can pay in £2 coins and then he proceeded to patronisingly say “we are the post office not a bank”. I said “I know that, I do not deserve to be spoken to like that” and left. I should have stood my ground and said that you can pay money in at a post office, coins and notes. I was so taken aback at how he spoke to me. It was my first time going there and I will never go again.

Had a good experience, with the manager being very helpful with what I needed. I feel the service has improved.
