It should be noted that no Costa Coffee store within the United Kingdom serves alcohol (excluding airports)." It added: "We are eager to work in partnership with all responsible authorities to ensure the promotion of the four licensing objectives. We also seek to work with the local communities, whom we serve, in achieving a successful cohesion between our business operations and our neighbours."

The store itself can accommodate up to 60 customers at one time, with the drive-thru lane running clockwise from the west of the building.
