When I finally realized 2 DAYS LATER, (yes, that's how distracted I was) I was prepared to accept the loss as bad luck and it was almost a week later that I revisted the store to do some more shopping, WITHOUT the 2 year old this time! One look at me and Donna said, "You left something here last time!" She ran out back and emerged with the forgotten shopping bag! I couldn't believe it! I was so pleased because I was about to purchase the same stuff all over again! Thanks Donna. It's customer service such as this that will keep me coming back to your shop. I hope your employers know what an asset they have in you.

Not only that, but they now offer a greater range of cooked dishes and combination packs. The fishmarket has always been part of the centre but it now has a new life as more people use it.

At lunch time they serve hot fish and chips, prawns, crabs claws, scallops and calamari. They are very generous with their serving size. Sometimes when I have finished my shopping I will stop and buy something to bring home and eat. Definitely a 9/10!
