Reviews of Ortongate Shopping Centre
A. T. (.
The Orton gate shopping centre offers a good selection of shops that are located around a large carpark. The is a large number of disabled parking bays. The surface and pavement leading to the shops was a good quality making wheelchair access good. There is also two Engenie Car chargers on site.
G. M.
As with other shopping centres the Ortongate is useful, helpful and fairly clean, with some adequate shops. Not too expensive with a good car park. QD cafe is really nice and it seems to have been updated, the staff in there are very helpful. Could do with one or two different shops too.
E. A.
It was a pretty standard place. I went there for one specific item which I found in the shop I wanted to go into b&m. There isn’t a wide range of shops. But it’s adequate depending on what you’re out for.
D. M.
Popped into QD cafe . Latte , carton of good quality juice , cake and a muffin just over £7 ! I thought this was good value tbh n very tasty . You should try snacking or eating a meal here, I have had some tasty homemade meals at decent prices
P. R.
I wasn't aware B&M had opened in Orton and an Iceland, again I am pleased there are more shops open, and a lot of variety 😀
L. G.
Good centre to visit. EV chargers are easy to use but sometimes taken up by hybrid cars sitting there for too long.
N. G.
Decent shopping area to have nearby. It is however lacking in nicer places to eat, it would definitely benefit from having a nice Italian restaurant or something similar
M. R.
Love coming here. Its a nice walk to the shops. Sue Ryder, YMCA, Wilko's, Co-op, QD, B&M, Iceland, Card Factory, Dinermite and GREGGS!! it's always nice to go down to browse and have a coffee and a sausage roll from greggs. The kids love to head to the library too while we are there! Always a nice afternoon here!
m. r.
So many stores I love!! B&M, QD, Greggs, sue Ryder, wilkos, and the co-op. Its hardly surprising I come home skint from here!! Love the place. Plenty of eateries here too. X
J. R.
Brilliant place to come there loads of things todo here and buy
T. B.
Plenty of free parking places. Well set out with plenty of shops available bit of a trek to wilcos and greggs round back but otherwise well worth visiting.
l. l.
Good and loads of shop choises,b and n ,qd,two second hands,wilko,greggs, iceland warehouse,atm machines ,good big car park and good car wash
R. J.
It has what i want across a variety of shops my favorite is QD, nice cafe, great selection of most things

And B&M and card factory.
B. K.
Good friendly staff,good selection ,but can be pricey compared to to other outlets.
G. B.
It's ok couple if nice shops and one of the best burger stalls in Peterborough uncle Jeff's..
F. H.
Nice shopping centre, good range of outlets. Plenty of parking spaces .
D. H.
Shopping at B and M today, lots of bargains to be had.Not everyone abiding by the mask rule. Polite young lady at the till. Didn't use Uncle Jeff's food van today but have had some great food in the past.
L. M.
Not sopping but at dentist very good service and very nice staff
A. R.
This has improved greatly over the last few years and now has lots of shops. Free parking, a wilco, QD, co-op, bakery, chemist and a few others. Much better than going into town. I was able to get everything I went for.
P. B.
Not a bad little shopping centre, the only thing missing is either a bank or building society and bring back the post office, to make life easier. New editions to the centre are a hair salon, fitness centre, YMCA charity shop and 2 new coffee shops, with one that has a little soft play area, and that is located in the main square of the complex opposite Wilko store. Things are starting to look up at the centre.
J. W.
Good shopping centre with a Co Op , B&M , Iceland , Wilco and a good Chip shop just round the corner from QD
M. k.
Good value shopping area cheap household items .some value food
N. G.
Just simply a very convenient shopping centre. Big name stores such as B&M, Iceland, Co-op, QD and Wilko. Usually busy with excellent parking and car wash.
G. L.
EV top up whilst having lunch at QD discount cafe. Great stop, 2 hours from Greenwich then 2 hours drive home to Lincolnshire.
K. G.
I did not go to visit the shopping centre, my visit was to the Willow Tree surgery. The taxi found the surgery difficult to locate, and he ran late for his next fare, a school run. The surgery was well appointed, I was sent by my surgery on Thorpe Road for a yearly physical checkup. The staff are very pleasant, and my experience of the surgery was good.
M. N.
Big carpark. Only issue is that drivers do not obtain the rules of one way direction. Painted arrows seem to not exist to some people
S.
Beautiful shopping centre had everything you want
M. C.
Nice friendly staff in the stores. Clean and tidy especially QD store. Lots of products and good food. Will be coming back to do some Christmas shopping very soon.
D. K.
Nice place, everything in one place very handy
S. A.
Very large iceland ,and BM store with cash machines available outside .
W. P.
A mix of shops from QD, B&M, Iceland warehouse and co-op, but it still looks rundown and grubby
J. C.
Massive car park has spaces for 1500 cars if busy at weekends
B. M.
Doesn't always smell of weed, good qd, Gregg's and co-op
A. B.
We enjoy shopping in the Centre very much but we feel it lacks nice eating places... there is need for more upmarket eating places... eg would benefit from a nice Italian or Chinese restaurant.
M. I. U.
A nice selection of retail shops and plenty of parking. Plus 2 EV chargers by B&M
A. C.
A slew of bargain shops. Also a Greg's and a post office. It's always easy to park. There are some guys selling nice fruit and veg quite cheaply too.
A.
The price may be a little high, bit it's still a really good store for any hot or cold food or a quick snack if you're in a rush 😅.I personally think the food and drink is very high quality and money well spent. So I highly recommend coming here if you can't be bothered to walk to b&m. Also the staff are very kind, cheerful and helpful, they pretty much know exactly where any product is in any isle. I hope I've helped some people. You're welcome 😁☺️
M. J. V.
Good shopping centre lots to buy .
S. F.
Nice little shopping centre and a cafe in QD
S. A.
Just moved to the area, big open space and some very handy shops that will sell almost anything. Ample parking with a carwash too and electrical car parking.
It could do with more shops and maybe a post office. Lots of empty outlets yet to be occupied one day.
D. M.
Lovely area, nice and clean, good range of shops, including B&M, Wilkos, Martin McColls, QD, Greggs, Starbucks, and more. :)
c. c.
Plenty of parking. Lots of shops for all ages
N. D.
Large selection of retail units, from b&m, qd discount store, Co op supermarket to Greg's bakery In main square along with others for food or exercise in the gym, located at one end of the car park is a friendly hand car wash facility, with a well maintained site, bushes all cut nicely and clean with few weeds to be seen,
T. P.
This once rundown centre has been much improved recently with the introduction of a good range of good value food and household stores including QD, B&M, Willow, Iceland Food Supermarket, Coop and a Greggs. Plenty of free parking and easily accessible from town or motorway. The centre also has visible security and a couple of EV charge points.
R. N.
Brilliant place, b&m, QD, food warehouse, wilko, Gregg's, coffee shop, co-op food and more. Only issue is there is no parent and child spaces!
M. L.
This is 5 mins from where I work, QD has almost everything for those things requiring a quick fix. Good variety of shops now and free parking.
I. O.
Went to QD the garden centre section always offering great value. Wilkos again great bargains, b&m too. A great area for great savings...
B. F. M.
Is okay for food shopping, they got wilko, Co-ops, grecs,warehouse food, a hairdresser, some food places a gym, and a B&Q among others. Is good if you live locally or you passing by, but I wouldn't come here if not. All the shops are places outside is not a indoor shops just a roof over the gym side and that's it. Hope that help you.
p. g.
The shopping area has included many choice of shopping.B&M, wilko QD,Coop,gym,card factory,iceland,grees,starbucks...
F. V.
Most facilities for the family can be located here from a leisure centre to a library as well as the market on weekends and stores open 7 days a week (limited hours)
T. M.
Good parking and well stocked
D. H.
There is a Wilko & Iceland, & QD stores, free parking.
P. R.
The place is ok would be better if we had more shop there
D. S.
Popped to drop a table off at the new MyGym - looking forward to the opening
S. B.
There are a few shops here, b&m, co-op, greggs, qd, card factory, charity shops, a gym etc. There's also a lot empty shop units. Lots of parking space.
R. R.
Orton Gate shopping centre is a good retail park with several well known stores I visited QD which is really good well stocked helpful staff and very busy and I also went to B and M once again well stocked well laid out helpful staff and friendly orton gate is well worth a visit
G. H.
great space for parking
S. M.
Excellent place to stop and charge with Instavolt or Osprey chargers, 4 in total. Sadly, Instavolt pricing is now 40p per kWh, Osprey still 36p. Didn't see any loos though.
K. S.
Great range of shops, places to eat and drink. Wide selection of goods for sale for the home and garden, clothing, food shops,pharmacy,newsagents, estate agent and more. Free unlimited parking. You can even get your car cleaned whilst you shop!
T. M.
It's OK, but not as good as back in the late 70's when it opened. There were 4 banks there now there's 0
Shoe shop now a bit in QD or charity shop, newsagent, post office, now nothing!
It's OK for B&M, WILKO'S, QD & cafe, LLOYD'S PHARMACY ICELAND WAREHOUSE & CARD FACTORY, I DON'T LIKE CO-OP as they closed up in the 90's leaving Orton centre without a supermarket so I boycott them!
C. t.
Always good place to shop
t. b.
Free parking and some nice shops, shame that there are so many empty units
m. m.
This place was a lovely little shopping center in the 1990's but it was almost completely dead in the late 2000's. I'm pleased to say it is starting to revive. A host of new shops are opening. Unfortunately these are mostly large chains and franchises. Hopefully some small independent stores will come back. Feels a lot safer than it was hopefully will give a 5 in a year or two.
M. R.
Very nice shopping centre.
S. F.
Gets very windy between shops
C. B.
Good selection of shops,, coop, B&M, Iceland, wilkos, Lloyd's, greggs, diner mite cafe
G. P.
It's not too bad for a local shopping centre. Unfortunately there are still quite a few empty buildings. Since it has been revamped, we have been luck to have an Iceland warehouse pen up, along with The Card Factory and B& M bargains. QD & Wilkinsons are still there too. There needs to be more incentive for shops to want to open up new branches here as there are still too many remaining empty, which doesn't encourage many outside the area to visit. All in all, its definitely a 100% better area now it's been revamped compared to when I first moved to the area over 15 years ago.
A. C.
Good number of parking spaces, shame about the social distancing or to be more precise the lack of on B&M. Apart from that B&M is a handy store for cheap bits and pieces.
M. S.
Shopping centre is lovely just do not go to the car wash they try to add more onto their prices if your car's a bit dusty I don't think they understand what car wash means
J. n.
Could do with a few more shops and a nice cafe would be good or a restaurant
N. K.
It has many shops like B&M, card factory, Iceland, co op. QD. Shops like Wilko , Greggs at the back. It has a car hand wash with vacuum also at the corner. This shops have some really good discounts many times. There is also a ATM machine which charges a minimum of 95 p for a transaction. Huge car park is there for the customers.
S. H. x.
Loved the Orton Centre today and my favourite shops : Wilko, Gregg's and QD. Each of these shops provide a range of things to buy ranging from food to home. Car parking is free in front of the CO-OP and there is also disabled parking outside CO-OP. Every shop also has disabled access. It's a lovely place to bring children to do shopping 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A. (.
Long time place of shopping, meeting and all that in between! :-)!, Just needs a good few more open shops and I am sure that you will have a better chance to shop than now!?!, Don't forget that the availability of shopping is not to be sniffed at! :-)!, You can get a good coffee and cake for a start, then you let yourself go for the reduced price but still got quality goods shops! :-)!, Aswell as the Lloyds chemist which I can be sure to say is full of excellent quality staff and I am sure that you're already aware of the Excellent quality fish and chip shop! :-)!,(B,J,S), They have the lot! :-)!, Just gotta go to visit the place! :-)!, On a bit of a safe note!?!, The first class security is there 24/7 cover!!!, And a Stirling job they are doing at that!!!, Have a good day at the place! :-)!, 8 till 6! :-)!, ENJOY YOUR DAY! :-)!...
J. B.
Always clean & tidy but security needs to keep a better eye on kids. Kids being abusive to adults - completely foul mouthed abuse on one occasion on another kids in flower beds throwing stones for good 30 - 40 mins barely missing passes by etc. Not good enough security should be parolling the whole centre regularly not spending huge chunks of time in one place.
A.
Come here quite a bit to buy the odd item. Mainly use this place for QD, B&M, Wilko and Iceland. Parking is always ample even during busy times. Good entry and exits so never large queues getting in or out of the car park.
A. W.
This a well stocked store with friendly and helpful staff. The only down side is that they no longer slice unccut bread which I prefer, as I can't cut bread myself.
P. L.
It's hàd a makeover more shops like B+Q and QD are favourites with the sprawling Orton's housing estate and surrounding district
The car park is a doddle plenty of parking any day of the week
AND ITS FREE check it out you won't be disapointed
d. l.
Lovely place to shop. Not to crowded and got everything I looked for
M. M.
A now much nicer place to shop. With the addition of B&M,Card Factory & Iceland I believe, you have more choice other than just Wilko's, QD & the Coop. Now head here for my bits, ease of parking, & it's free! Well done Orton Centre.
L. R.
It would be even better if we had more shops. Why not have a primark or next?? There’s potential for the centre we just need more clothing stores and I’d say it will be a hit!
L. B.
Not a massive selection of shops but nice enough and improving.
J. R.
It's ok I suppose there is not that much there , one minute something is there then they are closed. They need more things there to be honest. I wouldnt personally call it a shopping centre. Few shops that's all, it's better than it used to be, but they could make it allot better.
L. A.
It is clean and plenty off parking
P. C.
Good shopping area plenty parking places
M. O.
QD store has good management of social distancing. Nice cafe, well managed. Customer toilets clean. Recommended
s. k.
Extremely handy for a quick visit after work. Usually visit The food warehouse or b&m
c. c.
The Instavolt chargers kept cutting out after just a few minutes charging.
Starbucks were helpful though.
R. R.
Terribly dangerous as drivers do not use the parking lanes correctly and go the wrong way down them.
"No Entry" should be painted at each one.
Other than that it's very good with the new shops. Pity about the Post Office
J. L.
Good parking and some good shops. The centre is dying though with too many units empty which ruins the atmosphere
E. P.
Loverly shops and fruit stall.
R. B.
Easy to get to with a good range of shops.
Co-op
B&M
The Card Factory
Greggs
QD Stores Ltd
Starbucks
Sharman Quinney
The Food Warehouse
BJ's Plaice
Leoluso Hair Salon
Lloyds Pharmacy
Wilko
Co-op Funeralcare
D. L.
A retail park with a difference, no specialist clothes stores only stores like B and M etc that seem to sell a bit of everything. Massive Iceland warehouse shop and co_op. Plenty of free parking.
R. W.
So easy to park and shop with a good variety of retailers
C. S.
Good range of discount food shops, area is a bit grim but loads of parking and easy access
A. A.
You can get almost most good here besides a motor vehicle. But you are able to get your vehicle cleaned. I live in London but always do some shopping here when ever I visit Peterborough
L. C.
Plenty of free parking, good variety of shops.
g. m.
Good and clean but the staff in QD could have been more helpful considering how much we spent.
S. R.
It could be so much better. They have a good centre but not enough shops or variety.
A. S.
Discount central which is fine by me ! Loads of free parking too ...loads better than serpentine green or queensgate
C. A. A.
Nice variation of shops with plenty of free parking.
D. T.
Good for a few bits and bobs but couldn't do a full food shop. There is a co-op, wilko, Lloyds pharmacy, fish and chip shop, post office, greggs, Iceland, b and m, Starbucks, petrol station
L. B.
This place has a Wilkinsons,chemist,diners,Greggs,QD,Iceland food warehouse,B&M a 24 hour gym a funeral place,Card Factory,a hairdressers and a large Sue Ryder shop. Also has a petrol station a hand car wash and a Starbucks...something for everyone..oh and a fish and chip shop!
R.
Love this place good place to grab something to eat for lunch won't let you down plent of choices
Layout is nice too
A. D.
Good shopping centre, with the addition of B&M and the food giant by iceland. Choice is good. Drive thru Starbucks with slow service. Newsagents, co-op and car wash. Now with added funeral parlour. I'd personally avoid BJs plaice as not sure what they do with there chips! Overall you can get everything you need, new shops have bought a lot of trade to the area.
Avoid Gregg's if you want to get a hot sausage roll and served.
W. B.
Standard co op. Exactly what you would expect.
M. D.
Shopping centre has improved over last couple of years
P.
Weird access by car. Some useful shops but has a ghetto feel about it unfortunately. Doesn't appear to have been designed with customers arriving by car which is odd.
A. L.
Love shopping a round this area
L. A.
Nice shopping centre with lots of different shops just a shame about the ones boarded up!
M. M.
A nice clean comfy guest house. Breakfast served in house 1, we stayed in house 2. Small walk across the driveway, a nice breakfast played outcEreal, toast and cooked if required. Very close to Addenbrookes if family has someone as in patient.
L. W.
BJ's serves the best chips 🍟 I've ever had with pieces of chicken🐔, and the donner meat absolutely scrumptious 😋
Well worth visiting 🐔🍖🍗👍🍟😋
P. T.
Great for specific shops such as QD, Wilko and the Co-op. Really good Co-op with lots of good deals. Loads of free parking. Needs more shops as there are several empty outlets.
F. G.
It's getting better. Safer than it was over 10 years ago but a lot less shops. Maybe when this new development finishes the area will begin to populate to previous levels.
R. M.
Lots of large low price range shops, there on Fri. afternoon not at a busy
b. p.
Very convenient shopping center.
L. L.
Great choice of shops, nice and clean with bargins go be found.
R. J.
Good place to shop. No toilets in any of the shops for the public to use.
D.
Big improvements. B&M, food shop, refurbished QD stores. Just off the A1 services. No silly tickets any more it was free for two hours anyway.
C. F.
Getting better. New shops are coming and there's a new drive through Starbucks, which is very good. Petrol is always cheap at the co-op petrol station.
D. M.
Very good parking and a good selection of shops
C. B. (.
Really like this place lots to do in one place great variety.
M. B.
a small parade of shops surrounded by a Co op, QD and B & M. Possibly ideal if you need a some more common items. Free parking and a hand carwash is a bonus.
T. T.
Some good shops, shame that most of the units are empty as its a great location, easy to get to and free parking.
G. J.
Nice shopping area with a good array of different stores and a fair sized car park but parking probably difficult at busy times.
T. S.
Bit of a poor shopping center at the moment but getting better, lots of empty units but they've just opened a Iceland and they are due to open a B&M soon. Only QD, wilco, Co op and Gregg's and a chemist at the moment.
C. S.
The centre has improved a lot in the last year or two and has now become a convenient place for your essentials: Co-op, QD, B&M, Iceland, Greggs, takeaway open at lunch, Sue Ryder, Starbucks, library, dentist, doctor, Bushfield Sport centre, playground.... For me it's a perfect place to pop into but I never spend more than an hour there (unless I have to wait for my coffee at Starbucks 😊). I'm guessing it mostly attracts locals or people who work nearby.
G. R.
Plenty of parking, a variety of shops and eating places. Not too busy for a Saturday afternoon.
A. B.
Love these shops. QD and Wilko are my fav. Easy parking.
D. M.
Had a fun time with some friends, got the food and drinks here. Everything is reasonably priced
S. C.
Many empty units here and no toilet open at 7pm.
J. H.
Very large good carpark.Good selection of shops.
QD,Wilko Co_Op supermarket,post office Chemist,banks,betting office,hairdressers and more.Cafe inside QD and restrooms also a garage.
L. G.
Too many people not wearing a mask.
Y. H.
Bit tired looking, lots of empty units. The shops that are open are nice..
L. A.
Needs more stores and bringing into the 21st century! I believe there is an update planned for very soon which is great. Given the amount of businesses in the area, shops should do well.
C. M.
If you have BM, QD, Wilko, Iceland, coop in one place, what else you need? Here you will also get sue-rider, Greggs, BJ and Jimmi's kitchen. In one word, very good near by place.
P. C.
Good place to buy your weekly or monthly groceries with a host of big outlets. Just need one decent clothing outlet and this place will be gold.
P. R.
I have been going here for more than 30 years. It was great to start with then time and the country's depression took its toll.
Ortongate has been going through a lot of changes recently and now has some great shops including QD, ICELAND WAREHOUSE, CO-OP, WILKO, GREGGS and B & M (opened yesterday). At last it is being brought up to date and gives a pleasant shopping experience.
T. S.
There is a Wilkinson's, QD, CO-OP and Greggs. There is some outside seating as well as trees and a good library and bookable Astronomy Turf Pitch which has spotlights for evenings. There are also toilets that are open in the day. A bus service also serves near the handy chip shop and there is ample parking and a petrol station as well.
M.
It used to be quite run down, but they've done a lot improvements and a load of new shops have opened. It's actually a decent shopping centre now
J. H.
Good selection of shops. The new vegetable stall is great value
S. P.
Mainly cheaper type shops, but plenty of variety and free parking. More there than first meets the eye
F. O.
Recently revamped free parking handy selection of stores - pharmacy, Wilko, B & M, Iceland
K. S. K.
They have a good range of shops for home furnishings (QD and Wilko) plus a Coop. Nice if you don't want to go all the way to Peterborough city centre.
j. b.
Bit untidy with rubbish but shops are OK
s. 7.
So happy that Ortongate Shopping Centre extended so much recently,we have a brand new Iceland and B&M,plus QD,Co_op,even soon will be open 24hours fitnes!All we need is hairdresser and beautician :-)
S. M.
Very nice shopping center, has most shops, mostly under cover, including a lot of food outlets, + pubs a good day out for shopaolics.
C. H.
Not many shops but it is growing new large stores are bringing new life to the shopping area. Coffee shops are good and rhe leisure centre is at the hub
A. C.
Worth a punt.. but play-off B&M and QD, especially if you want to save even more of what's in your pocket/purse!!
J. L.
This place has come a long way in the last 5 years has some great shops now including BnM and Iceland wholesale with a wilkos just round the corner and of course you can't beat a greggs and often find myself in QD as they have just about everything you ever need in that place not a bad little set up
G. G.
There are good practical shops,at great prices. Loads of parking. If you want a bite to eat there is a fish & chip shop , Greggs plus Costa Coffee.
O. P.
Awesome fast growing place to live and shop. QD, branded shopping at low cost. Wilko. B&M. Ice Land. Co-Op.... Burger place. Pharmacy. Library. Gym. News Agents. Post Office. Even public toilets. Playground. Football ground and much more
A.
Clean, tidy, hand sanitizer available. Friendly staff, plenty of space.
I. B.
Good parking good stores good selection worth a visit and enjoy
P. G.
Wilkos, QD, CoOp, Greggs, B&M, Iceland Warehouse and a newsagents. All great, but the place has so so many empty units. Could be a fantastic place for the Orton community but feels like it's lost it's soul.
M. Y.
Great accessibility, plenty of free parking. Many well known stores. Ideal for all types of shoppers
c. g.
All the shops you're going to want in one place. Good low price supermarkets, with friendly staff. Really good fish and chips too.
G. R.
Same as it's always been, alright range or shops, a lifesaver for the locals and the B&M is a good alternative if you want to avoid the busy Boongate one
M. T.
Always kind and supportive staff. I'm a wheelchair user and they always help me with a smile and respect.
M. Z.
Nice big, East of England Cooperative.
Unfortunately they don't offer any benefits to proper Co-op staff!
N. G.
Didn't use the shops but there are car chargers that actually work. Will have a better look around next time.
D. T.
The recent multi million pound regeneration has improved the appearance of the Orton Centre greatly, and the now constant presence of security guards has helped to remove most of the antisocial characters that used to frequent the place.
The choice of shops, sadly, is still dire - the complex is made up predominantly of empty units. For local people, who are already aware of everything I've just said, it's useful having Wilko, Lloyds pharmacy and the co-op nearby, but for visitors I would certainly not recommend this place.
That said, the chips from BJ's Place are arguably worth the trip alone.
R. R.
When I was growing up the Orton centre was full of shops no empty units at all now there are a few shops and about 80% empty units lots of room for development and has great potential!
L.
B&M, QD, Iceland , Wilko's , Gregg's , and a few more shops , good to looks round for a few hours and have a cuppa .
A. P.
Got everything you need. Lots of shops ! Very nice inside
M. P.
The centre especially with the local amenities and considering the starbucks, b and m and Iceland warehouses have recently been built is extremely handy for a one stop shopping trip
K. B.
Clean and tidy.. Easy to find parking as well..
P. W.
Good local shopping centre. Now got more shops there including a big B&M and Iceland warehouse, plus Co-op, Wilkos etc.
J. S.
Good free parking. Has public toilets. Has a good selection of shops. Easy to get to on public transport. Has free cash machines.
R. E.
Shops are good, parking is close together and floor route markings are difficult to conform with
C. Z.
I find the best time to go shopping here is around 3:15 before they close. No lines no wait no hassle.
E. C.
QD has lovely cafe and the stock is amazing.the food warehouse also great with many bargains.new stores arriving which will make this an ideal place to visit.
C. B.
Over the last year the centre has added a drive thru Starbucks, Iceland Warehouse and a B&Ms not to mention the most recent addition of a new members only gym... so not all bad. Card Factory set to come in the near future... Peacocks retail store have pulled out however....Wilkos, Greggs, the Lloyds Pharmacist, JGs Burger and Pizza , Co-Op funeral directors, QDStores and CoOp supermarket are doing fine tho, although McColls handy Post-office is having to shut its service throughout UK - maybe it’s new rent negotiations can appease their landlord ...
p. s.
Went Iceland warehouse great value for money good shopping experience plus free car park
S. D.
Good discount stores. There is a Greggs there which is good.
R. C.

Quiet small shopping centre but had essential shops.

Maybe a sign stating other shops and which shops are located where ect would be ideal!
