Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The assistant, Sophie N., was most helpful, answering all our questions fully & adding other helpful comments. I felt unhurried, thus able to feel confident with my decision of what to purchase.

Carol and Sian on the tills were really helpful when I was buying a riding hat. They only had a display one to buy but were very thorough in explaining my options etc

First Class Service. Felt like a VIP!!!

I popped in to pick up a new tent along with a festival trolley. Had some questions about the various trollies. The staff went above and beyond for me. Nothing was a problem and they were even running round the store for me locating items that I needed. Both Terry and Sian are a credit to your business. If only I could get this level of customer care in other retail shops!

Excellent customer service

Natalie went out of her way to help me today and provided excellent customer service, I was very impressed. Anya helped me at the tills and kindly allowed me time to pop back to get something I’d forgotten. I will be sure to recommend the Basingstoke branch to friends and family. Thank you for restoring my faith in customer service!

Good but could be better

Popped in to look at tables and chairs for the van to upgrade what we currently have. Met a very helpful chap that told us about the buy 1 get 1 half price deal which was fab as we wanted 2 chairs. However it wasn’t so great that they’d increased the price of the table we wanted from £40 to £60 as it was now part of the same deal.
Lastly the young lady at the checkout was fairly uncommunicative and a bit disinterested.
Overall we still grabbed a bargain but will look elsewhere for a table.

Friendly and Helpful Service

I was served by Arianna in the Basingstoke shop. She was courteous, friendly and helpful. So too was the man on the shop floor - I did not catch his name.

I visited Go Outdoors in Basingstoke and was assisted by James T with several items I needed for an upcoming two‑week hike. James was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to give detailed guidance on the best products to suit what I was looking for. He was open, transparent, and honest throughout, which I really appreciated.

I was able to get everything I needed and am very happy with both the service James provided and the products I purchased. Thank you to James T for being so helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and transparent. Excellent service all round.

Amazing Service at Basingstoke from Carol

Myself and my partner went in to the Basingstoke store today, we were both browsing different parts of the store and a very helpful member of staff helped us both. Carol went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we were looking for and gave us lots of advice to help us know we had picked the right items. Highly recommend the store and thank you Carol.

Amber

Amber, who looked after me for my visit couldn't have been more helpful and patient as she helped me pick both a new riding hat and long boots. Thanks to her suggestion to try a different size boot (1 size up from my normal size), I walked out with the boots I really wanted which fitted perfectly!
