"I used to like the above song (as a reference to this restaurant) until Jamie Oliver ruined it in his advert! Anyone, I digress this is an independent review based my my experience today ordering from Moonlight in South Road, Crosby. I drive along South Road quite a lot, and have always noticed this place as there aren’t a lot of decent dessert shops within my locale. I didn’t actually realise that they did burgers and other similar savoury food choices. My son also noticed it a little while ago when we went for food at a nearby restaurant. Before going there to order, I did consult tripadvisor and was slightly concerned at the amount of negative reviews but remained undeterred as I wanted to give it a go. I must say that my experience does not reflect the several poor reviews posted on this site. I understand a few stem from long waiting times for delivery but that is not always the fault of the restaurant. Luckily, it is close enough for me to drive there myself to order a takeaway. Online pictures suggest the option to eat in although that may be another branch elsewhere it is take out or delivery only. In terms of the food, we all really enjoyed it. I purchased 2 milkshakes for the boys (Nutella brownie and lotus biscoff flavour), chicken popcorny loaded fries, buffalo dippers loaded fries and a Starship Burger essentially a bacon double cheeseburger. The boys gobbled up the fries and their milkshakes, who gave a big thumbs up. Mine was the burger and it was really nice. It’s done in a similar way to Five Guys I’d say as good as if not better than the latter but less expensive. Although not the cheapest, I’d say the prices are reasonable for what you get. I would have said McDonald’s is cheaper but they have also increased their prices lately so Moonlight is definitely a decent alternative. I went at around 4.30 5pm and the service was very good no issues over waiting time either. We’ll definitely be ordering again."

"Just because you have some young people eat at your place doesn 't mean you can treat them with contempt. They are paying customers at the end of the day! My daughters and a few friends called in this evening and all ordered a meal. My daughter was brought two of the same meal and obviously told the male member of staff she 'd only ordered one (she didn 't get his name as he wasn 't wearing a badge). He plonked the food down, rolled his eyes and said angrily you 'll have to eat it, I won 't be taking it back . This is not how to speak to a paying customer, I don 't care how old they are. She paid via the app and double the money was taken. She called me to ask what to do but I 've told her we will sort it with the bank. I wish I 'd asked her to get his name. He then brought another plate for my daughters friend and he told her the plate was hot (he held it with a towel) as he passed it to her in her hands, how strange! Yes it was too hot but thanks for not putting it on the table! I will be calling head office about this. The whole experience was humiliating for my daughter, she eats out quite a lot and knows how to speak respectfully to people. I know it 's only a cheap place to eat but that doesn 't mean the quality of customer service should be this bad. If your staff don 't want to speak politely maybe they should be doing a job where they don 't have to directly speak with paying customers."

"Dear Costa Coffee Team, I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback following my recent visit to your Stockport branch. Overall, my family and I had a pleasant experience, but there are a few points I'd like to highlight. Firstly, I must commend the quality of your beverages. I tried the White Chocolate Strawberry Hot Milkshake for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed. My brother also enjoyed his Salted Caramel Coffee Hot Milkshake. Both were delicious and represented good value for money. However, I'd like to address a minor point regarding the closing time policy. As the evening drew to a close, we were kindly asked to finish our drinks. While I understand the need to close up, it would have been appreciated if we were allowed to savor the last sips of our beverages before departing. Allowing customers to finish their drinks, even after closing time, would enhance the overall experience. Despite this, I want to express my gratitude to the staff member who provided us with hot chocolate cups so we could enjoy the last drops of our milkshakes. Her kindness was appreciated and exemplified excellent customer service. In conclusion, our visit to Costa Coffee in Stockport was enjoyable, and we look forward to returning. Additionally, we're excited to explore the Costa Coffee branch in Manchester to see what it has to offer. Thank you for providing a welcoming environment and delicious beverages. I hope that my feedback will contribute to the continued improvement of your services."
