I dropped my prescription of on a Thursday and told the pharmacist that I will pick it up the next day upon my return from work. The next day, I first missed my train and then there was delay in catching the next one. I called the pharmacy and explained that I need my meds and cannot collect the next day as I was only staying in the area temporarily to finish my contract. I got to the pharmacy at 18:50, the kind pharmacist was waiting in their car with my prescription. Not everyone one would do that. Thank you and much appreciated.

The place is OK, staff seem kind of miserable (never smiling) and are very slow, some of the prices on things are crazy and my prescriptions seem to come from a different company every time. However they are professional and have never messed up on a prescription so that's the important part.

I don't normally write reviews, but I was so impressed with the staff at Allens Pharmacy. My medication wasn't in stock, so not only did they physically walk over and speak to my GP to see if they could change it to something in stock, but when they wouldn't, they called local pharmacies in the area for me to find out where I could get it. After all that, they even offered to drive me to pick up my prescription because they could see I was in pain. As a community nurse myself, I cannot give them enough praise.
