Central England Co-operative - Rutland

Good cafe, with good value selection of hot drinks, snacks, light meals and usually jacket potatoes. However we arrived at 5.30pm on a Friday and the cafe was already shut. So cafe opening hours are NOT same as the store hours shown by Google and you should follow store's advice (on its website) and phone to check cafe closing time if intending to visit late pm/eves.

Nice and big, roomy and clean. Ample parking for all

It loved it, except for the impatient guy behind that who could not understand why I didn't want to use the pump that was out of order, yes they live among us.

I called in for some provisions on my way home, and I haven't sed this co-op for a while as there were always queues at the checkout. Unfortunately thngs have not changed. There were onlt two checkouts open and at least 3 people waiting at each whilst other employees stacked shelves. There is a lot of competition now in Oakham and there are never enough checkouts open in my experience in this store. Once at the checkout, as usual, the staff are very friendly and polite, its just such a shame it takes so long to meet them. Please have more checkouts open!

What a lovely toasted sandwich in a clean modern cafe Bread Cheese and ham of excellent quality and service with a very warm smile and promptness Latte finished off a great quick visit
