I think the big gentleman is usually helpful. He even helped me with extras on my watch last time I popped in. However, yesterday's (22/9/2025) experience was terrible.

When I arrived at the shop and explained my problem I was served very professionally and most importantly the key actually worked. I will be coming here from now on
Unfortunately and due to circumstances beyond his control (SAM) I feel compelled to review this shop again as a matter of concern. It seems to be the case that this shop in particular can only function properly when SAM is present as he is the manager, but in his absence the staff don't seem to be able to follow basic instructions.
