Not one to leave a review but in this case I will. What an absolute pleasure itis doing business with these guys. You cannot put a figure on a great customer service. If these stock my items i will most certainly buy from them again. All the best Richard and team!

Great service. They stock natural products and herbal remedies here and are helpful to you. Hard to find somewhere to park as it's on a very narrow road.

Most staff at the pharmacy are very pleasant and nice. Since Dennis has sold the business to Mark! The arrogant pr*ck is so rude and no customer skills, face like a slapped back side. I actually have a look if he is in before I go in as he is just not a nice person! Without Dennis you would be nothing you rude person.
