Somal's Off-Licence & Post Office

Pop in here often for bits and bobs. Nice staff and good prices, handy little shop with a surprising amount of options considering the size. Slushy, parcel drop off, paypoint etc

Till assistant is a nasty piece of work (assume owner - the middle aged/older woman). I visited for a drink for my daughter but there’s a lower limit required for card payment (understandable) but as I didn't require anything else, I didn’t buy the drink. Women starting shaking her head when I left and muttering about something so I asked her why she was shaking her head and she told me sarcastically to “shut up, just shut up” . Totally unnecessary as I’d done nothing wrong. I told her she was rude and she told me to shut up again. So they go, if you want to be yelled at for nothing, visit when this lady (loose term) is manning the store. it’s unbelievable that she thinks it’s ok to treat people like that. Disgraceful, there’s enough rubbish going on in the world without more thoughtless idiots. She even came out when I was getting on the car to shout something else at me, not sure what it was and I don’t particularly care. Mad as a hatter, vicious and a fool.

I would not recommend this store, because the older woman behind the counter is rude to me. I tried to buy a drink with a card and she said to me I needed to purchase one more item. She said it in not a nice way, so I said OK, no problem. Let me look around and I saw some items, but I was thinking about buying them, but some of those items had no price on them. When I asked her how much the items cost, they had too much money, so I bought an item which had a price on it, and then I continued with my purchase and went away, would she gave me a horrible look like if something was wrong with me and I said to myself, I will never shop here again.

I love this shop. The staff are so friendly. Especially Nicola and Ella. Lovely lasses.

Was lovely to me and my son when we went it. Helped me find what I needed and made a point of talking to my son. Love supporting other women of colours businesses.

This should read SOMAL’S OFF LICENCE only. The post office facility is no longer available. Otherwise a very good local community shop.

Lovely local community shop...been here since the the late 70's and still with the same lovely family. Huge choice, lovely staff and they'll even deliver. Highly recommended.

Lovely small shop that covers all the basics and things you have to quickly pop out for, great choice of drinks along with more unusual ones like fentimans and calypso tropicals, huge choice in finer spirits. Stocks locally baked cakes and sandwiches. Wonderful friendly staff.
