the price of our meal was ok but you could tell why it did not cost alot...the chips were like they had been microwaved 2 heat them up the egg fried rice was a strange colour but was good and well what can i say about the chicken....i wouldnt even feed that to a dog! the meal was such a let down i would advise my friends and family not to go there as they will not have a good meal from there.the price of our meal was ok but you could tell why it did not cost alot...the chips were like they had been microwaved 2 heat them up the egg fried rice was a strange colour but was good and well what can i say about the chicken....i wouldnt even feed that to a dog! the meal was such a let down i would advise my friends and family not to go there as they will not have a good meal from there.

As I now live in Ireland, my visits to aberdeen are less frequent, but always on landing at Dyce Airport my first port of call was always Chalmers in Bucksburn for my 2 dozen butteries and 10 steak pies. The pies were specifically looked forward to because of the chunky pieces of steak, the delicious gravy and cripy pie cases. Alas no more. Different baker? Cutting costs? I dont know.
The pies were disgusting. Full of fat, gristle and worst of all "tubes". No more chunky steak, no more tasty gravy. Just an insipid beige liquid that did little to enhance the filling. 10 Pies bought and 10 pies thrown away.
Come on Chalmers, what have you done?As I now live in Ireland, my visits to aberdeen are less frequent, but always on landing at Dyce Airport my first port of call was always Chalmers in Bucksburn for my 2 dozen butteries and 10 steak pies.

This is a great supermarket, especially for those on a budget. It's particularly handy for me, being just 5 minutes walk from my flat.

There is a small car park outside for those who drive and plenty of trolleys outside too.

It obviously can't compare with the bigger supermarkets size wise, but it has just about everything you need for a weekly shop. Fruit and veg, bread, milk, frozen ready meals, jars of sauces, fresh meat, soups, biscuits and sweets, crisps, alcohol, cheese, juices as well as non food products like toilet roll, toothpaste and washing detergent.

The prices of nearly everything are excellent, the cheapest supermarket I've been in. The cheap things also do taste nice too though!

There are usually at least 2 tills going, but the place is often quite busy, so you might be queueing for a few minutes, but it's not too bad. The staff are always nice, friendly and chatty. There is also a bonus card system and free delivery on orders over Â£25.

I guess it's not really a place for wealthier/snobbier type people, but it's perfect for me! A great supermarket.This is a great supermarket, especially for those on a budget. It's particularly handy for me, being just 5 minutes walk from my flat.

A nice little bakery, I believe it's part of the same company as Greggs, so you know it's going to be of a good quality.

There are plenty of things available, and not just baked goods either. They also offer juice and sandwiches too, so you can get a good full lunch here.

Plenty of variety in the bakery section too. Cold, warm, sweet or savoury, they will have something for just about everyone.

I'm a bit of a sweet tooth, so I always go for the cakes and they are always delicious! The hardest part is often deciding what to have!

The shop is always clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Definitely a good place to pay a visit if you're feeling a bit peckish!A nice little bakery, I believe it's part of the same company as Greggs, so you know it's going to be of a good quality.
