They do still have the manned booths here, but either way its quick and the most important part for me is that this is by far the cheapest petrol station I can find. Its usually at least 2p cheaper than any other petrol station I come across. For that reason alone its brilliant. Its also open 24 hours (self service only).

I never mind queuing here because the staff are quick at serving and the queue seems to move pretty quickly. There are lots of petrol pumps too, so if one or too run out of fuel, there are always plenty of others left.

I couldn't disagree more really, I find this one of the most irritating petrol stations in Cardiff…read more Its got the most annoying layout i've seen and there always seems to be at least one pump not working. They just have one pump instead of the more common 2 pump lay out, and there are always cues because people fill up their cars and then spend 20 minutes in the bloody shop while you sit and wait!! Yes there are car parking spaces for people who need to pick up some bits but you always get those who don't! Price wise it used to be the cheapest in town, its not anymore. I guess they have finally realised that being the first station off the M4 or the last before the M4 rip off stations they are going to get people in. Finally its on a busy crossroads and even getting in and out is a hassle! Oh yeah and there are none of those nice easy pay at pump points to make it quicker either!

I feel slightly weird reviewing a petrol station, however I can honestly say that the Tesco express…read morefilling station on Tyn-Y-Parc Road is the best petrol station in Cardiff (so surely that in itself means it's worthy of a review). There are plenty of pumps, and the petrol is not usually too expensive (in comparison to other stations in Cardiff) and very rarely runs out. On the downside though, there are very often queues, due no doubt to this stations prime location. What really impresses me though about this place is the Tesco express attached to it. For a filling station this grocery store is rather large (much bigger than my local Tescos), and has a massive selection of magazines, fresh, and frozen food. It wouldn't surprise me if people were able to do their weekly shop here (a slight exaggeration perhaps, but you never know).

Very poor cafe, small with cheap little tables, scarcely any choice for vegetarians and nothing for…read morevegans (apart from the inevitable potato with boring beans). The veggie choice today was between a potato, or a lasagne. Nothing imaginative and nothing gluten-free (other than the potato - but without beans because baked beans contain gluten). It annoyed me that some of the other veggie options on the 'main menu board' - the one on the wall that never varies - weren't available (the macaroni cheese, for example). I'll give it 2 stars because at least you can have a coffee and rest your feet, and the young man serving was pleasant and friendly. Tesco really should take a few leaves out of Morrisons book when it comes to a good cafe with lots of choice.

It's a Gulf petrol station on the Llantrisant Road between the turning for Radyr and the…read moreDanscourt/Fairwater roundabout. So conveniently placed. However if you are the sort of person who considers the price of petrol you might do better to drive half a mile towards Cardiff. The petrol in Radyr Filling station is almost always ten pence and litre more expensive than everywhere else. The reasons for this are difficult to fathom except perhaps you don't have to pay for your own petrol and it's on the way to town then who cares? There's also a little shop which is good for a pint of milk and a mars bar. The staff are quite jolly and, strangely, it's never busy.

This petrol station is next to ASDA but don't imagine that it's as cheap as the ASDA own brand…read morefilling stations. However, not the most expensive either. Convenient for the M4 and A470 and not usually a queue. Inside the shop there's a good range of those emergency sorts of breads and milks and sweets that will save you actually attacking ASDA. There's a car wash (never been in there - isn't that what rain's for?) and air for your tyres. I love the usual staff in here, sometimes I wonder if they affect some different wacky personality for each customer to avoid boredom.

In a land with few traffic lights Esso in Clifton stands out. Fiendishly convenient it is too as…read moreyou drive down from Henleaze way toward town. It's your standard Esso really with loads of choccy, crisps, sandwiches and magazines (particularly those aimed at the lonely trucker). The thing that sets it apart from the rest is its 24hr opening times. With many student halls dotted about and many students with rumbling tummies at 5am - this is good to know.

The 24hour opening is very helpful for some late night (or early morning, depending on how you look…read moreat it!) snacking. But on a more practical sense it is also very helpful in terms of getting petrol 24/7. Everyone has those moments, be it if you are the designated driver one night, or your coming back from visiting your parents and you realise your tank is in danger of drying up! 24 hour stations like this are un-sung lifesavers!

I love this newsagents on Whitchurch Road in Heath, not because it is in any way outstanding when…read morecompared to other newsagents, but because it doesn't have a name! Or perhaps it does? Perhaps it's called Newsagent! Well, it is actually called Newsagent, now that I come to think about it...! How random is all this!? Whatever the case, it was a smart move to name the business in this way. Not only is there no confusion around what they do, but you can see their sign from Pembrokeshire! With such a large competitor in Newslodge just a few doors up the road, Newsagent has to employ al of the tactics that it can to compete! In terms of what they stock, there's fewer surprises! They have all the nationals and local papers and a reasonable number of magazines. They also carry greetings cards and stationary, both of which are of a reasonable quality. They also do a fair amount of food, and household products... and they do two rolls of loo roll for a quid... always useful to know! So they are not only handy, they are definitely worthwhile. Big up the little guy!!
