Pressure gone in mixer tap in kitchen

    The pressure has gone in the mixer tap in my kitchen.
    Mains cold pressure is low but is fine from the water dispenser on the American style fridge freezer nearby.
    Hot water pressure is poor too but fine from the downstairs toilet sink 15 feet away.

    I've taken the head off the hose but it makes no difference.

    Pic of tap attached.

    Any ideas?

    Is it both the hot and cold in the mixer that is acting up?
    If it is then it's most likely the cartridge/spindle

    Yeah both.
    What's a cartridge/spindle and is it a DIY or plumber fix or are we talking a new tap?

    Thanks for reply btw.

    ok I've replaced the cartridge/spindle (thanks Youtube) but the pressure still isn't as strong as it used to be.

    This is the tap btw

    Any other suggestions before I have to call a plumber?

    Thanks.
