Convenience store in Bristol

“Great prices with lots of choices. Nice to see they still have lots of tills with staff on.”

“Great store. Only problem is there’s no way to contact store. Please supply olio with a store number for squad captains. Too many Olio’s imposters claiming to be fwh from olio. Staff need to check ids and maybe also driving licence seeings most drive to the store. Imposing as they’re from olio is theft. Olio is supposed to help those who request from a fwh, not the fwh steal all the items. So sad”

“Lovely staff, all with a smile and who make the effort to help in any way they can. Always incredibly busy but always make time for people. Today my prescription wasn't ready due to waiting on a delivery of medication. They asked if I would like to wait as the delivery was due shortly so I sat down and not long after the delivery was made my huge bag of medication was bagged up and ready despite a lot of medication waiting to be put away. I really appreciate the effort made so that I got everything I needed and wasn't left waiting for ages.”

“This Budgens is a pick up and drop off point for Hermes Parcels. Hermes mucked up big time which cost me almost 3 times what it would normally do to send a parcel but it would have been a lot more if the staff and management weren’t so helpful, friendly and understanding. I can not recommend this store or it’s staff highly enough and I just wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!”

“Great Cafe, very busy but the wait to place the order was still quick and was still easy to find a clean table. Had only been sat for a minute and the breakfast arrived. Breakfast was pleasant as was my latte. There was constantly someone clearing tables. Busy cafe but very well run, the best supermarket cafe I have been in by far”

“Really friendly staff. Sometimes there is a wait at the till, but the staff are efficient at serving and gets the queue down quickly. Always a good range of freshly baked pastries, rolls and breakfast items. Items aren't too expensive. There is a paypoint and lottery machine here too.”

“Been with them 3 years and collect three people's medication. They are really helpful and order items promptly. Like all pharmacies, they are under pressure, but I have never been disappointed. I often witness rude, abusive customers who expect prescriptions instantly. The staff always remain patient, polite and professional. I have used a few different pharmacies over the years, and Tower House is the quickest, most helpful and most professional one.”

“Celebrating Cadburys 200th anniversary, we sold Dairy Milk bars for as little as 1p! It was great seeing the reactions, receiving such a diverse group of customers in store, as well as increasing footfall in the store for the retailer! The community really got together for this one, and rightly so! One in a lift time celebration. Thank you to all of those who came to visit us!”

“Great business to deal with. Will recommend”

“In an age where the term “incompetent” is thrown about online with the same flippancy as an empty crisp packet on the pavement, it’s refreshing—nay, necessary—to set the record straight. Nestled in a neighbourhood that’s more “gritty realism” than “gentrified artisan bakery,” this corner shop stands not only as a purveyor of pantry staples but as a quietly heroic fixture of the community. Yes, the shop has its share of challenges—chief among them, the relentless battle with shoplifters, which must test the patience of even the most Zen-like retail worker. But what you’ll find here is resilience, warmth, and shelves that are, miraculously, still well-stocked. The staff are consistently welcoming, helpful, and patient—more so than most customer service veterans in less trying environments. And at the helm is Reece, the manager, whose dry wit and demeanour add just the right dash of levity to your weekly mission for oat milk and emergency biscuits. This isn’t a sterile supermarket with automated voices and corporate indifference; it’s a human place, with real people doing a hard job well. So if you’re inclined to judge based on one flustered Tuesday afternoon, perhaps take a breath (and a Hobnob) and remember: competence isn’t always loud—it’s often quietly dependable.”

“i feel like a lot of ratings come from deliveries, which have been butchered by the delivery service and not the restaurants itself, i've come to the place, ordered a large pepperoni pizza, the nice chap made it really good and really quickly, the pizza was still perfectly warm after my 20 minute walk home. papa johns, they do it better!”

“Here we have a massive company treating this small shop like it is one of their supermarkets manned by a whole fleet of staff instead of the small shop that it is with its 6/7 staff! Only allowing 2 staff at a time for the most part and having to take in deliveries, respond within minutes for all the takeaway delivery services! Shop for those orders and still serve at the till & Scan in and scan out parcels that there is clearly no room for! The company demand far too much from very few staff in a thankless and quite frankly dangerous job with zero help when needed! I Hope none of you negative commenters will be popping in for your forgotten jar of gravy or pint of milk on Christmas Day since the little shop is not allowed that festive time with their loved ones! As for closing at 10…… they only get paid till 10 and still have to close down and lock up….. maybe they should work an hour unpaid? Morrisons need to seriously look at their little shops and start making things better for all involved! How about supporting your shop and its staff and start making a stand for them for better working life! Which will result in a better shop for the community!?”

“I have been a frequent visitor to this pharmacy for some time. There has been a pharmacy at 246 North Street for a great many years (GK Chemist originally). The other address was the old Bernard Hunter Photography at 244 North Street which I have also visited. The new expanded Lloyds Pharmacy now takes up two units having expanded next door. I normally drop in a couple of Prescriptions as needed and collect. I find this always much easier to do here than up the old Surgery (now private as Bridge View Medical Group) and my abiding impression is friendly staff. The now expanded place has made great use of the extra space, easy to move around and one of the easiest places for disabled and those of restricted mobility to enter and exit with the ramped entry and automatic door and push button exit and as before move around. Many pharmaceutical, baby, child, bathroom and medical products available. So always worth a look for small items and general medicines. Some items are available at a good price such as Carex handwash, others like Bathroom essentials like Brut can be more expensive. Everything is easy to find and see, labelled. I would have also highly recommended them for mobility aids, so if anyone ever needed an aluminium walker. In recent days they no longer do these, a pity, as that was simplicity itself and the walker for my Mum is wonderful. Bright, White, well-lit and I must add spotlessly clean. Hospitals could take note. The best part I note is getting any medicines on Prescription. The process of doing it via the Pharmacy is fuss free I find, and they take notice of your notes on your prescription. The time has lengthened recently so drop in Monday could get it by Friday. The amount of people using the Pharmacy in recent months has increased massively. An increasing number of NHS services are delivered by the Pharmacy instead of the Surgery, such as Flu Jabs and Health Checks. That has gone very well, and I note they seem interested and enquiring into your health, much like GP Surgery used to be. All in all, much busier, hence at times even late on Friday for instance, quite a wait for things to be finished. I have found them much more approachable and helpful regarding medical questions. Keeping in mind they are Pharmacists and not Doctors of Medicine. I was informed that in fact I am eligible for free Prescriptions whereas I believed after a change in circumstances almost 2 years ago I was not. Like many things why couldn’t the GP tell me that. Another is for an illness I had, I was told by the GP nothing could be done, yet spoke to the Pharmacist, yes there is something I can take, so sorted. The irony I find, having only 3 GP’s in my life till recent years is that on a basis of trust. I trust Lloyds Pharmacy far more than a Surgery now. On that basis and the friendliness and approachability of staff. I give them my highest recommendation.”

“All staff are friendly and kind always happy and willing to help apart from the bloke that works there on a Wednesday he's is disgusting and disrespectful to his customers and the other staff I refuse to go there on a Wednesday when he is working”

“Great shop open till 1am at night”

“Amazing range of confectionary on this new Cadburys display. Absolutely worth a visit to grab yourself a snack!”

“Morrisons Daily: The Eighth Wonder of the Modern World If the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Taj Mahal had a love child, and that child grew up, put on a green apron, and decided to sell sandwiches, you would still only approximate the majesty of the Morrisons Daily. The moment the automatic doors whooshed open, I was greeted not by staff, but by a radiant beam of light that I can only assume was divine in origin. The fruit and veg display was arranged with such geometric precision that Euclid himself would have wept. I picked up a banana so perfectly yellow it looked as if it had been Photoshopped by the angels. The staff, meanwhile, are clearly not of this Earth. Each member of the team glided across the floor with balletic grace, somehow scanning groceries, restocking shelves, and offering life advice simultaneously. When I sheepishly asked if they had any more of the chocolate croissants, the assistant didn’t just check the back—he sprinted into the ether, wrestled with the gods, and returned clutching a warm, flaky pastry as if it were the Holy Grail. And let’s talk about the meal deal. £3.50. Sandwich, drink, crisps. I’m not exaggerating when I say it felt like a personal invitation to dine at the table of kings. I selected a chicken salad sandwich so fresh I could hear the cress still photosynthesising. My bottle of Pepsi had condensation so aesthetically pleasing that a Renaissance painter would have quit his career in despair. The crisps? Crunchier than autumn leaves underfoot, and twice as poetic. Checkout was a religious experience. The self-service machine didn’t scold me with its usual “unexpected item in bagging area” nonsense. No. It purred, gently, as if thanking me for existing.”

“Good little store that serves the local community with a wide range of value for money groceries. Saves going into town to get something decent at an affordable price. The staff are on the whole very good. One young man is so professional and polite he really should be rewarded. Maybe promotion to management.”

“The service has definitely improved since they've got new staff. I've had bad experiences in the past with trying to get my prescription, but my recent experiences have pleasant and little fuss.”

“The staff are extremely helpful and very friendly. I'm sorry I do not know all their names, but Faizan and Abby (I believe) are absolute stars. Lately I've been chasing up a lot more prescriptions than I'd like, and while there are often problems on the GP side, the team at the pharmacy are lifesavers. It genuinely feels like they care and are doing their absolute best they can to help out. It is worth talking to them to explain the whole situation, so they can help. Thank you all, and I will no doubt see you very soon.”
