James Pringles Shopping Village

Visiting a friend here in Scotland who recommended the Warehouse for souvenirs. The entire place was fun, with several different shops working out of the same area. The souvenirs didn't disappoint and were definitely cheaper than most that could be found on the main drags around Scotland. Wandering around the pet store area, clothing and household goods was also fruitful and excellent, with the smells emanating from the cafe always delectable. The only downside was the fine print on the % and money off signs that we did not initially notice. Other than that, I highly recommend the warehouse to all.less

Visited here on thursday for breakfast food very good freshley cooked to order nice large mug of tea comfortable seating large eating area wheelchair access very relaxing atmosphere less

The last time we visited I noticed the new chef. He couldn't be bothered to clean or press his tunic or whatever you call it. The beef lasagne was dry and tasteless stodge and the panini, advertised as having parmesan cheese, was cheddar. We no longer eat there. We go to the Britannia Restaurant at Ocean Terminal down the road for lunch and then pop in here for a look at the clothes. I was happy yesterday to get a nice new shower jacket.less

We have also been to the one near Inverness and would rate this the same. Slightly smaller but plenty of bargains to be had. Some things were not as cheap as we'd expected like golf polo shirts £35 and cashmere with 20% discount. We can get these in our local EWM. If you had a rummage you could find a bargain so we rated it very goodless

I attended this ‘breakfast with so called santa’ this morning with my sister and nephew who is 4. We were told on the phone that someone would Greet us at the door at 09:45am. The car park was filling up at this time so we stood at the door waiting to enter. No one came to the door until 10am and it was a man to pull the shutters up. Everyone made their own way through the store not knowing where to go. We arrived at the back where the cafeteria was then had to find what seat was ours. It was crammed! Chairs were litterally back to back! Kids were climbing near enough on your back to get passed you. Then had to stand in a que to have our breakfast. We ordered 2 latte’s which took that long for the staff to make the breakfast was cold by the time we sat down. I personally thought the whole breakfast with Santa thing was for Santa to be seated while the kids were having breakfast? He didn’t arrive until half an hour after. When he arrived I was shocked! He definatley looked like he had a night on the tiles. Worst santa I’ve seen. Some of the kids were laughing and pointing at his beard! My nephew asked why has Santa got a pretend beard on? He is 4! The toy was a crap plastic train you would give to a 1 year old not for his age requirement. They do ask you how old the child is prior to booking so this should be though of! They had face painting and pop corn for the kids to keep them occupied. There was a balloon game which was full of chocolates that was burst and the kids had to run like scavengers on the floor to get a piece! One woman had 1 child with plate full on her table. Some of the kids didn’t get any! We left after an hour in the place as it was totall abysmal! Staff should really be working behind the scenes somewhere as they were so rude! The whole thing was dysfunctional. It’s really disgusting that they charge £8.50 per child!! What about the parents who have more than one? It’s just not right! Save your money because your child will probably have nightmares with this experience!less
