D. Pring Family Butchers has traded from the same shopfront on Crwys Road in Cathays for more than thirty years, serving the streets of terraced housing between Cathays and Roath. The counter sells fresh beef, lamb, pork and poultry alongside own-made sausages, faggots and cooked meats, with prices kept low for a largely student and family clientele. Staff cut to order and offer advice on joints for roasting or slow cooking. The shop is a small, family-run business rather than a supermarket counter or chain butcher, and it holds a five-rating food hygiene score from Cardiff council. Trading hours are shorter than a supermarket: the shop opens early and closes in the early afternoon most days, with Wednesday and Sunday closed entirely. Regular customers plan their shopping around those hours.
