Good selection, I prefer the SPAR over Premier. But the fridge with drinks in wasn't working.

Priced are very reasonable for a shop so close to a tourist attraction.

Please accept my apologies for troubling the older lady on the till today by making a purchase. Next time I'll go elsewhere.My invisibility cloak clearly worked well as both my wife and I were ignored completely.This is clearly a shop for local people, which is odd as I would guess that most of its income comes from tourism!EDIT: on reflection this review was perhaps a little too sarcastic.The reality was that the lady serving on the day I visited was amongst the rudest people I've come across, which seems to be a recurring theme amongst other reviews. Not sure if Spar have or want to grasp this issue.

Check your change when paying cash. Short changed by an old lady behind the till and not given a receipt.

Sunday morning 17/7Went in around 845am for the family?s groceries for the holidays, and tbh was quite shocked how one of the staff talked to me? short, rude and not very nice, seeing how they are a local convenience store for holiday makers! I will be using a different shop in the future!

Very rude staff, ended up walking out and going elsewhere.They're more interested talking to each other instead of serving customers waiting

My rating is based on the customer service experience from the older lady serving behind the till, she was so rude, after a lovely day visiting Tintagel she tainted it with her impatient attitude and ignorance, this evening 5th August at 8.30pm, half hour from closing time and the shop was not full by any means only myself and 3 kids behind me, the older woman literally shouted at me as she couldn't see what I was asking for right in front of her and she was very annoyed that I was right and she was wrong after raising her voice at me 3 times and then literally gave me the cold shoulder whilst finishing the transaction with a cross demeanor, she could definitely benefit from a refresh on customer service skills or maybe retire in my opinion. Reading back a couple of reviews I don't think this is the first complaint made about this lady, its time her attitude was addressed properly if she's to continue working with the public.

Saturday the 29th September around 5pm we entered Spar shop which at the time was barely empty with facemasks on(N95s), socially distanced of course. Two of my mates were in front of me and as I walk in i was met by a woman at the till being so rude, 'you can't come in! There should only be one from your household.' I enquired if I can go in as I'm from a different household. She was adamant i was from same household as my lady friend who came in before me. I felt embarrassed by her remarks and felt singled out. One, I'm not with my lady friend as im with a man for 8 years. Second, I never thought id mention my racial background but upon reflection of what had happened, was I a victim of racial profiling by the lady at the till? Did she think i was with my lady friend because we are both Asians?I left the store quietly and my partner was left on his own to shop and carry all our shopping for 3 days and cat litter all by himself.I feel disgusted by this experience on our first hour at tintajel fortunately the rest of the long weekend went very well and local folks were very friendly. Sorry spar, I am absolutely disgusted by your employee's behaviour.

I wish to convey my utmost disappointment to the woman who worked on 29/08/2020 at around 17:00 is sooo rude. She needs to reflect if customer service is what she wants to do.The way she spoke to myself and family is unacceptable. I do understand Covid protocols, being a frontliner myself. She could have just informed us in a nice way not shutting us off as if we are a nuisance. Overall, I enjoyed my stay in Tintagel but this woman made her mark of being miserable. I do hope the management will look into this and teach her proper customer service. It has put us off going to this shop for the duration of our stay!

This shop is fantastic and all the staff are friendly and so helpful. They all perform a great service and treat everyone as a valued customer. All bad reviews on here are from ignorant people who refuse to follow covid guidelines and don't like being told to conform. They are the ones at fault not the staff who are doing a difficult job in difficult times. I salute each and everyone of you. As I could not do your job. I love you all . Big hugs and thanks xx

The staff would benefit from a training day on disabilities or maybe the staff should learn not to talk about a customer once they have left the store - not all disabilities are visible.I personally don't have any disability but what I witnessed this evening was shocking.

A really out-dated selection of food that comprises largely of heavily processed junk food.The chiller had lots of awful fatty snack meat products and the bread and rolls were all long life uninspiring. Not a fresh baguette or roll in sight! Drinks were largely energy and surgery drinks.This place is more of a newsagent with some 'food' than a convienince supermarket. Really needs to update its range and pull itself out of the 1980s.

The rudest staff behind the counter, so unnecessarily short tempered and unhelpful.
