I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Sainsbury's at Berryden, Aberdeen. Today, I…read morebought an Indian meal that was on sale as it was expiring today. When I got home and opened it, the rice had an absolutely foul, rotten smell, it was clearly already spoiled. I then had to go through the hassle of driving all the way back to the store just to return it, wasting my time and fuel for something that should never have happened in the first place. Although they refunded the spoiled meal, I was shocked that they made me pay the difference for the replacement. Selling food that's expiring today and already gone bad is unacceptable and the way this was handled was completely unfair. I've been shopping at Sainsbury's for years and always trusted their standards, but after this experience, they have certainly lost a loyal and valuable customer.
This a superstore, nay, megastore in Aberdeen! This store sells more than groceries, but also…read morehomewares and clothing. There is also a cafe inside for hot food and drinks. Prices as usual, reasonable. The store layout is easy to navigate and is clean and well stocked. Service is decent, but at a peak time there were nowhere near enough staff at the registers resulting in long queues which was quite annoying.

A large Farmfoods store located on the street behind Bon Accord shopping centre…read more There are so many bargains to be had here, and its amazing how much money you can save compared to other supermarkets. Most of the food is frozen food, tins or packets. There is no fresh fruit or veg. There are always offers on, such as 5 cans of juice for £1, 2 tins of soup for £1 etc. You can end up buying so much stuff! I never find this shop to be very busy and have never had to wait long in a queue to buy my goods. This is a great shop for stocking up your cupboards at a good price.

The store is well laid out in sections of fish, ready meals, chicken, vegetables, pies and pizzas and frozen deserts. Their jars of sauce and dried goods are also really good value. The only downside of the store is that the checkouts are pretty low-tech and it can take a while if you pay by card.

What an EXTRAORDINARILY badly managed store! We called in for "one to two" things which turned into…read morea small trolley full, as these visits often do... On approaching the staffed checkouts (we prefer a human being to doing it ourselves) we saw significant queues and no signs of movement, and two tills were closing (this was around 5.20pm). A manager (?) assured us that there would be staff coming to the checkouts "in two minutes". I'm glad we didn't take him at his word, because the 20 minutes we were there we didn't see any (even after the "queue-buster call went out at 5.30pm). The poor woman working at our till was totally overwhelmed with her workload (and she was a middle-aged lady), while younger staff were seen leisurely wandering around the self service and self-scanned areas - surely some kind of staffing malfunction? We often shop at Aldi (Beach Boulevard) Lidl (Torry) and Tesco (Torry) all within 1-2 miles of this Asda and ALL of those stores have efficient staffing, effective management, and priority service for customers wishing to use staffed tills. We now rarely shop in Asda, we used to be regular shoppers in Glasgow and Cumbernauld, but our experience of Asda - especially as they are heavily pushing the self-service to the real detriment of the one-to-one customer experience has not only put us off, but I'm sure will put many many more customers off. Asda it's EASY; 1. convert some of the profits to secure good staff 2. increase your staffing 3. serve your customers. Because if you continue to push staffed checkouts down your list of priorities then we will not return. And we are not alone.

In fact, even though this place is tiny, you can find there quite a good selection of basic veg/fruit etc. and some of that is usually in some good offer.

In particular their own brand Truly Irresistible :] And come later at the evening when they are marking flowers cheaper ;) But avoid, if you can, to come lunch time. They do have big cues even though they have many employees. I think it's the result of being the only shop around.

Admittedly they are quite expensive but the quality speaks for itself and these goods do not come from America by carrier pigeon they are imported goods which of course have fees payable.I never look at the cost as if I really want something well I will pay for it.

Definitely the best sandwiches around Aberdeen and quite possibly the best I have found anywhere. A real hidden gem downstairs from the "Belmont Picture House" in "The Bar Below the Belmont". Order one of the panini fillings as a sandwich for best value such as the awesome Notorious B.I.G. Quiet place to sit down and take a break during a shopping trip or take out for those on the move. The bar itself was not up to much, very quite and no atmosphere but the sandwiches alone make this place well worth a visit. A definite recommendation to those walking around Aberdeen looking for good quality, cheap, food-to-go.

Even…read morewhen I wasn't going in as a customer it was nice to walk by and see open windows framing folks reading books and sipping their lattes or friends chatting over their pastries. I did go in several times to do some writing for my Masters Dissertation, when I didn't want to spend another day in the library or just needed a change of pace. (I will say, this cafe isn't the best for super focused working. The volume was a bit too loud, with various conversations happening in different corners and music playing as well. I was on occasion able to find a nook that gave me a bit more privacy and quiet though.) I also brought friends in to try my neighborhood spot, and then we would be those people chatting away. My usual choice was their chai latte, it was not too sweet, creamy, and well spiced. The overall vibe was just so cheery and cosy, with walls of used books for perusing and purchase, yellow paint, and windows out onto Belmont St for Grade A people-watching. Super cool that all of their coffee and tea is FairTrade, and they're the only independent, fully fair trade coffee shop in Aberdeen. Woop, I'll keep supporting them for sure. Can't wait for my next visit this summer!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, which included the Cullen Skink, a salad with smoked salmon and crayfish, duck with a blackcurrant sauce and another fish entree that I don't exactly recall.

Our waitress, however, was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the process. After our meal, we had a chat with the owner who, we found out, was the artist in residence i.e. all the artwork was his. Nice ambience... cozy and we could hear ourselves talk. If I lived in Aberdeen, it would definitely be a regular spot especially since their menu is based on seasonal items and constantly changing. As we say in the film world, two thumbs up!
