I popped in at 10.30am on a Saturday morning not long after it opened and there was no one in there apart from the charming young guy behind the counter and the pharmacist out back. I was greeted with smiles and relief - 'at last, a customer!' I could almost hear the thought reverberating in their heads. The pharmacy had lots of deals and offers on cold and flu remedies and the guy serving me made sure that I had taken the Beechams Flu Capsules before and knew what I was doing. I hope this personal service picks up when their business does! One puzzle yet to be solved, however, is why, oh why, have they just opened a small pharmacy at the end of Clifton Street when the huge 'Clifton Pharmacy' is positioned just down the road and another, smaller pharmacy is literally around the corner on Broadway? Three pharmacies within meters of each other - surely we're not that much of a sick-note Britain?

The shop front is immaculate, painted in sophisticated tones of green and cream, and the shop itself is laid out with flair and imagination, as well as being well ordered and easy to use. Clifton Pharmacy also has to be one of the largest independent chemists in Cardiff, and whilst it struggles to compete in scale with the large outlet of Boots in the centre of town, it is nevertheless an impressively stocked shop that carries a really good range of stock. It is possible to buy pretty much anything here that you would find in a larger chain, and the prices are competitive too. What distinguishes this chemist from the chains however, is the level of service that you receive here. The staff are really friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, and so this is great if you are not entirely sure about what you are looking for. In my experience you also don't have to wait very long for assistance, which is a very different story to the chemists in town. There is rarely a queue for the check-out here, and everything seems to run as smooth as clockwork. Clifton Pharmacy also offers a free prescription delivery and collection service.

It's not been an easy time for independent pharmacists in Adamsdown and Roath over the years. The…read morerise of Boots and the out of town supermarket chains have made it difficult to make your local chemist a going concern. We've even experienced chemists closing on certain estates with break-ins, and intimidation a regular feature chemists have reluctantly closed their doors. So I'm really pleased to fly the flag for the Clifton street Pharmacy where I've been going most of my life and Driscolls Pharmacy on Meteor Street which is close to where I live now. I think it's so important for us to support our local chemists as once they go I think it will be a long time before we get this vital local resource back. The chemist is a place where you get a lot of useful health information and support. It means not having to travel far to get prescriptions. Most people in my area don't have cars and rely on public transport.

This review is for boots pharmacy rather than the shop itself!!…read more Since moving to Emersons Green and registering with a new doctors I was given the option of boots or Sainsbury's for a pharmacy and what a mistake I made choosing boots. I am yet to have a good experience when picking up a prescription. The staff are incredibly rude and so unhelpful and even though there can be 4/5 people working in the pharmacy it can take them 30 minutes to produce a prescription. I understand that it can take a little while but at my old pharmacy in Winterbourne I was never made to wait longer than 5 minutes. Infact I don't think I would mind as much if the staff weren't so rude when they spoke to you. I'm that fed up with them I am now changing to Sainsbury's in the hope that the service is better. The staff elsewhere in the store are so helpful it's just a shame that the pharmacy staff let them down. I will still shop in boots but just not for my prescriptions.

When I was a kid I used to live in a small Cornish village where the fishmonger would deliver to us…read morein a little white van once a week. I was a typical small kid. I liked fish fingers, fish cakes and tuna from a can. I didn't like seeing my mother prepare proper fish with their fishy scales and their bones and those eyes, especially the eyes. I became vegetarian. Today the fish eyes don't bother me so much, and I am an avid believer in buying local and prefer my flesh eating friends to source better meat and fish, and eat less often. I am not alone. This is one of the reasons that Ashton's thrives. They sell great fresh fish of a wide variety and you can buy it right in the heart of Cardiff. Not ALL of it is local, mind: 'Fish and shellfish is sourced from every fishing port in the UK. Fresh fish is also purchased from various parts of the world, including Alaska, Norway, Chile, Saudi Arabia and Seychelles. The company will also mail order the Welsh delicacy lavarbread.' So if these things bother you, check first. It is one of the largest fish retail outlets in the United Kingdom, employing around 25 staff and their other catering supply business supplies many of the major hotels and restaurants in the Cardiff area. They should know what they are doing too, Ashton's set up shop way back in 1800 and has been in the Central Market since 1890. As well as fish, Ashton's also sell poultry and game. During the game season, wild boar, kangaroo, ostrich, emu, pheasants, partridge, grouse, wild duck and rabbits are available. You can see a full stoclist for fish, shellfish and meat on their website. They also list loads of recipes on their site, here's their one for Smoky Topped Fish Ingredients 4 x 170g (6oz) thick coley or cod fillet, fresh or frozen salt and blackpepper knob of butter dash lime or lemon juice 60g (2oz) cheese, grated 4 rashers of grilled bacon, chopped slices of lemon, to garnish Method Preheat the grill Place the fish onto a lightly greased grill pan. Season. Dot with the butter and sprinkle with lime or lemon juice. Grill for 8-10 minutes (15-20 if frozen). Sprinkle with the cheese and top with bacon.
