Very polite

Very polite, efficient and helpful staff.
I had pre ordered and when I came to collect everything was done quickly and efficiently, so I was in and out in less than 5 minutes.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service. The price of the fire was much cheaper than other companies. With a very quick delivery service. The fire looks a quality build. Very pleased with this purchase.

Needed help to convert a Weber portable BBQ to use a standing large patio gas cylinder. I had most of the parts but just not the experience or tools to figure out exactly what else to do and how to do it. I called socal BBQ shop and spoke to Peter, who was extremely polite and welcoming, “just bring it all down and we will sort it for you in the shop”… 40 minutes later (a drive there following by friendly chat and being taught how to resolve it and shown the right final parts to buy) Peter assembled the new parts and I have just this evening enjoyed a lovely BBQ with family and friends using a 15kg butane gas cylinder!

That personal touch, the “it’ll be fine and we will help you” mindset, and also being shown how to do it was greatly appreciated. Thank you for being so kind when I was stuck!

Package is still not arrived 11 day's after ordering. And the communication with SOCAL is difficult, they reply slow on Emails, and if you call them you get the voicemail.

Great service

SoCal had items in stock that were sold elsewhere, reacted promptly when the carrier misplaced the parcel and solved for it fast. Great service.
