You can get absolutely everything here, from a tea strainer to an icing piping nozzle, coffee machines and food mixers and an extensive range of pots and pans. Twice a year they give a discount on pots and pans if you trade in your old ones, which are then passed to Oxfam. The staff are all friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and all seem to be experts in one area of cooking or another, so you can ask them their opinion on products, or get advice on how to use something. There are sometimes product demonstrations in the shop, so if you are lucky there is something nice to sample whilst you are browsing.

Decked out on two expansive floors, the Kitchens store is an emporium dedicated to the culinary art, whose sensual powers appears to have eluded me; but fear not, like I said, even if you hate cooking, I bet you can find something here that piques your interest, whether it's espresso machines or cake decorating paraphernalia. I think it's the largest kitchen supply store of its kind in Cardiff, so if they don't have it, I'd say your best bet is to take your hunt online.

For the kitchen there is all sorts of crockery, chinaware, cookware, glassware, tableware and gadgets. From the traditional to retro to ulta modern.

For the home baker and the home preserver there are all the accessories you might need, along with the various little nuts and bolts that hark back to it's roots as a hardware store. A lovely store to browse, and I have often treated myself to a small item or two - and coveted many more!

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE USE THIS COMPANY…read more We had a bathroom fitted by Caldicot Kitchen & Bathroom Centre in November 2021. The design process and furniture selection were relatively straightforward, however, in hindsight the overheard telephone conversations that Nicky had with customers whilst we were at the showroom, should have rung alarm bells. The build process was significantly protracted, with the contractors running into issues on power supply and drainage, which had apparently been incorrectly assessed during the initial survey and pricing. Overall, we were satisfied with the finished bathroom and completed the payment. During Christmas 2023 we noticed that the chrome on the radiator was peeling off and then the handle fell off the sink tap. Considering the high price we paid for the bathroom, the low quality of these fittings is genuinely concerning, however, as the parts are under warranty, we thought the replacement process would be straightforward. We sent an email to Caldicot Kitchen & Bathroom Centre in January 2024, asking for the items to be replaced. After several months of broken promises and failed appointments, with numerous "cast iron promises", "100% guaranteed", "180% guaranteed", "we'll be there, don't worry" etc. etc. We eventually got to the 3rd of September 2023, and somebody turned up to fit our new radiator and tap. Hooray!!! They were both the wrong ones, and they left with a promise of being back later in the week with the correct replacements. Today (10th October 2024) after another month of phone calls and further broken promises they are going to drop the parts off. Basically, I have been left in a position where I must find a plumber to fit them. I will pass the bill onto Caldicot Kitchen & Bathroom Centre, which, if necessary, I will pursue payment through the small claims court. So, I may write an update to this review. Pursuing this matter has been incredibly time-consuming. Caldicot Kitchen & Bathroom Centre never, ever phone you, you always must phone them. Even if they are yet again not going to bother turning up for an agreed appointment, they will never ring you to offer one of their myriad of excuses, you have to repeatedly phone them until they are embarrassed into answering your call. On the dozen or more occasions when we arranged for them to come and undertake the work, there wasn't a single time when we received a phone call to say they couldn't make it. Not once. Every single time we had to phone them. It took fourteen phone calls today before anyone answered. I would under no circumstance recommend this company to anyone. If they are unable or unwilling to fulfill such a minor warranty claim, where would we stand if there were significant issues? They are by far the most unprofessional company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. This company literally cannot be trusted to fix a tap.

Put close family member, me and family through years of hell, taking enormous sums of money from her to deliver a shoddy, unfinished, poor-quality and structurally dangerous bathroom that they refused to put right and refused to refund as promised - We only got a tiny fraction back of the outrageously inflated cost in the end. Whole thing had to be gutted and redone by a second company. Issues too extensive to list. Countless lies and false promises. Avoid at all costs and deny them the opportunity of doing this to anyone else ever again. Looking at Companies House records, they are in deep financial water and haven't submitted accounts since 2022. They tried to dissolve the company in 2023 but were prevented from doing so, likely due to outstanding claims made against them by other victims. Do not believe the positive reviews if you value your money and sanity. You have been warned.

The garden centre is pretty well stocked for peripherals, but also has a nice selection of instant colour seasonal plants as well as some fruit and herbs for kitchen gardens. Their willows and topiary are a bit old fashioned and I would recommend going to a specialist nursery for trees (try Chew Valley Trees) but this is great for a gardening hit in town.

You'll hear very British muzak plays over the speakers, interrupted occasionally by an announce who kindly reminds you to validate your parking when paying for your goods. Quaint to the point of being weird, and also almost always completely empty. Enough of analysis of the style of the shop, I should probably tell you if it's any good. There are sections for homeware and DIY, as well as a garden centre. You can get more or less anything for the home, a few things you didn't know you needed, and a few things no-one would ever need. There's an entire row of various things for your milkman to leave the milk in, to give you an idea of the range. It's not that cheap unfortunately. I think all there costs must go on the staff (who are very helpful), of which there seem to be a greater number than there are customers most of the time.

There's a wide range of the big, (Ovens and Fridges) the small, (microwaves and kettles) and everything in between.

The advice and service we had at the time from the shop owners was second to none - friendly and informative. All in all a lovely 'local' shop in the heart of Barry. We live in the North of England and as such aren't often in Barry but when we next come down we are sure to visit 1st Choice. Highly recommended - even if only for that 'sweet shop feeling'!
