Costa Cafe closing on Friday 15th May 2026

We are sad to report that Costa Coffee in Hale Barns will be closing down completely on the 15th May 2026. It has been at the centre of the local community since ASDA took over Booths and the ASDA cafe was given to a third party to run - which hasn't been very successful.

Costa, for a long time, has had a regular crowd of locals who visited every weekday morning around 10am, as well as occasional visitors, not to mention the extra busy Tuesdays when people from the local church visit for their morning coffee and social.

With ASDA also now up for lease, Hale Barns Square is not looking particularly successful. Thankfully, opposite The Square there is still a selection of stores such as a Delicatessen, Mediterranean food store and charity shop.

Here at Halebarns.com we wish all the friendly and loyal staff best wishes for the future - two of whom are relocating to nearby Costa in Hale Village and the drive-in just outside Hale Barns.
