“We highly recommend Glovers for all pond needs and buying of fish. Special thanks to George for all his knowledge and advice a very pleasant and helpful young man.”

“Love shopping at this place plenty of parking space and you can literally find everything you need in one shop”

“Went for dinner, the food is stunning. One of the best pub meals I've had in a long time. No one in my family had anything but good stuff to say about it”

It's clear that this pharmacy is loved by locals, and it's easy to see why. Whether you need a prescription filled or just some friendly advice, you can count on Meir HSY Pharmacy to provide excellent service. Highly recommended!”

“I've been here for the first time today lovely friendly staff and easy to arrange for home delivery. So much better than the last Pharmacy I've been going to !”

“Staff very knowledgeable and friendly, able to take time to select the fish and plants that are right for you, not rushed out of store”

“Helped immensely today with a stray cat we took in, we contacted them to advise we had a stray cat and asked for their advice. They advised to head along so it could be scanned for a microchip, we went down, the cat was scanned and the owner was contacted. The cat was 17 years old, deaf and had been missing for a week. The cat was reunited with its owner shortly thereafter. Thankyou for assisting.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you. You weren’t my registered vets (as I live in Manchester), but while staying with family in Stoke, I came to see you as an emergency on a Saturday afternoon. I have a 5-year-old Frenchie who’s been in and out of vet clinics his whole life due to chronic ear issues, originally caused by allergies. Over the years, I’ve seen countless vets, been asked the same questions repeatedly, not properly listened to, and given the same advice I’ve already tried time and time again. I often feel fobbed off and, to be honest, like many practices care more about charging for everything than they do about the welfare of our pets. But coming to you was a breath of fresh air. You cared about Joey just as much as I do. Bruce immediately recognised Joey’s anxiety and didn’t try to poke or prod him, which would’ve only made things worse. Instead, he listened to me, discussed what we’d already tried, and suggested a long-term solution—TECA surgery. He spent nearly an hour talking through the procedure, potential complications, and expected outcomes. I’m writing this review two months later, on the day of Joey’s surgery, while he snores peacefully beside me. I cannot thank Bruce enough. Although this is major surgery, I truly believe it will give Joey a new lease of life. Thank you for taking the time to listen, help, and care for Joey as much as I do. And it wasn’t just Bruce—every staff member I dealt with over the few weeks I was in and out of your practice (for eye ulcers and ear infections) was incredible. Chloe and Liam were calm, patient, understanding, and genuinely couldn’t do enough for me (there were panicked tears on the phone - and they were absolutely brilliant!) They always called back when they said they would and showed real care for Joey and his wellbeing. Empathy goes a long way, and that's what differentiates your practice to the rest, each and everyone of you made me feel seen, heard, and supported—not just as a pet owner, but as someone who truly loves their dog. That level of compassion and consistency is rare, and it’s what sets your practice apart. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being everything we needed and more. Thank you all for making both of our lives hopefully so much easier after this surgery. Although you’re not local, I’ve now changed my vets—and the hour-long drive is absolutely worth it. You’re not just my emergency vets anymore—you’re my everyday vets.”

“Speedy, efficient service with an understanding vet, who listens to the person that knows her pet inside out. An extremely helpful clerical officer, who patiently guided me through the insurance claim process. My little dog is on the road to recovery, thank goodness.”

“I took my nervous dog to vintage paws they were very professional and attentive to my dog. When I picked my dog up I was very pleased with the standard of the cut and how calm my nervous dog was around abbie and Megan. Abbie and Megan were very professional and friendly we will definitely be back!”

“Today at the meir park branch the staff went above and way beyond when my mum was taken poorly ( she is fine now) I hope the staff read this as they were excellent in their care and assistance to both my parents. My dad was looked after by the floor manager and a couple of lovely ladies finished putting his shopping through the till, packed it and took it to his car. They also arranged for a member of staff to follow me to my dad's as I needed to get back to my own car there. They helped him in and unpacked his shopping while I got him settled. Then drove me back to mum who was being seen to in the ambulance.! Amazing helpful caring and professional throughout. Thankyou”

“Staff great, always pleasant and helpful. We often buy the 2 dine in meal, usually very good, but had the pork belly tonight, and literally there was no pork at all, it was all fat. A one off but won’t be having it again”

“Enjoyed going to get a few things for Christmas and household items. Clean covid safe and well stocked. Helpful staff and my first visit since Lockdown and was impressed and enjoyed browsing the store. Missed visiting but will definitely be coming in again soon.”

“Staff are always super friendly and knowledgeable in a range of health subjects. Myself and my parents have been using this pharmacy our entire lives and are highly satisfied with the service we receive.”

“Lovely kind and helpful staff. They went out of there way to help get my Aunts prescription to her. Nice to know that there are still some very kind people around Thank you”

“Very helpful and thorough nothing seemed too much trouble. Yvonne, the home delivery lady is superb, well mannered, polite. The male pharmacist (Rajan I think) well he's amazing...do anything to help you.”

“The staff were extremely knowledgeable and willing to help on a Sunday afternoon. Highly recommend their service.”

“Used their Wax Removal service today and couldn't be happier! Politest phone call last week and then worked around traffic lateness without disdain! Staff that dealt with me were all friendly, and the service was impeccable and quick! Thank you!”

“Very happy with the experince here. 10 ⭐️for Laura she was very patient and polite with me, helped me a lot finding the perfect match for 2 faoundations and suggested me the best products for my skin type! 10/10”

“after a visit a very dismissive pharmacist I tried my look at boots. I spoke to the lady at the desk at the pharmacy. The lady was very understanding and met me with compassion about my issue and asked for me to see the pharmacist. The pharmacist was also very compassionate and prescribed me some things to help and has asked me to come back in a weeks time for her to review the condition. I'll always come to boots if I need to see a pharmacist in future. 10/10 service all round.”

“Handy store, well stocked as expected. Never too busy. Nice large car park, situated in the centre of town”

“We didn't stay in hotel so cannot star the rooms. The food was lovely I had classic hunters chicken (chicken new yorker) and it is the best one I have had so far, the hot drinks were refills, staff friendly, would definitely go there again.”

“This is a great little shop, the staff are all friendly, and are all ready and willing to help you if needed, and they do stock a wide variety of food, drink and other household goods. Along with the main shop, they have a post office, an Evri parcel drop off and collection point, as well as facilities to do your household washing and drying. Parking is easy too, as they have a reallybig car park, which is free to use.”

“Beautiful hotel, lovely and clean. Me my partner and our children stayed and it was so cozy. The staff are always polite and help with whatever you need. There are multiple shops within 5 minute walks from here and there are also multiple parks within 10-15 minute walks away.”

“Since I've moved into the area, all the team at this pharmacy have made every effort to make every experience I've had easy, friendly and accurate.”

“Excellent service and very polite. My dog actually enjoyed her experience and looked forward to seeing them! Odd considering she was spayed!”

“I took our elderly hamster Dumpling in this evening and they treated his prolapsed cheek within 15 minutes. Can’t thank or recommend them enough! The vet got him seen and fixed him up straight away and the nurse was so kind to me as I was so upset and gave me great advice on how to avoid the same issue in the future. He’s happily back in his bed without too much disruption. Amazing!”

“Great place to shop if you have a club card.”

“Lovely, friendly staff always willing to help me. I'm 4'.10" so frequently need items reaching down. Pity the co op (and other stores) can't shut early on christmas eve, or even be closed all day and boxing day, it isn't fair on the staff, they have families as well.”

“Standard off licence, lots of chocolate, alcohol and misc stuff, absolute legends behind the counter sometimes.”
