Really good advice and service from Drew and Ruby. But then again no surprises in this store as the staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Been before and will return again.

Very well served at the Sunderland branch. Went close to closing time and was promptly served by Neil to choose my hiking boots, and explained their membership benefits.

Sunderland Branch - Nathan

I visited the Sunderland (Pallion) Branch with my Grandson to buy some maggots and fishing equipment for his fishing trip and Nathan assited my Grandson to select the correct equipment to fish the Stephensons Lake in Hetton-le Hole, which Nathan actually fishes himself, this was a very pleasant experience and my Grandson was made up with the help and assitance from Nathan :-)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service from Ruby!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service from Ruby!

I had a fantastic experience shopping at the GO Outdoors Sunderland store, all thanks to Ruby. I was looking for a complete camping set, and she assisted me every single step of the way. Not only did she help me pick out the perfect gear, but she also went above and beyond by helping me carry everything out and loading it safely into my car. Exceptional customer service from a genuinely helpful team member. Thank you, Ruby!

Store is just a play school.

Just been into the Sunderland store and it was like being in a child’s play ground. The staff were running round the store giggling like children taking photos of each other and just generally messing about. Couldn’t find what I was looking for, so asked a member of staff if they had the item in stock (I have previously purchased the same item from a different go outdoors store, but would like another pair) the staff member told me “oh I wouldn’t know, we have so many different brands here”. Left the store disappointed but will go home and try to purchase the item on-line from a different supplier.

Thank you for taking the time to share a review in relation to your recent visit to our Sunderland store.

It is deeply upsetting to know that this has been your experience when visiting the store. This is not the level of service we aim to provide and your negative experience has been highlighted to the relevant teams for improvements to be made and to prevent this from happening again.

We do hope you will give us the opportunity to improve the service you received in future.

Kind Regards

Very Disappointed

Visited three Go Outdoor stores today searching for an item, Team valley staff we’re extremely helpful as was the Metro Centre, the same can not be said about Pallion, the staff we’re carrying on acting like children in the store, laughing and giggling loudly and very unprofessional.. when i asked the girl on the checkout if the had any Mens North Face trousers, the response i got back was” I wouldn’t know we have that many” atrocious customer service, and again very unprofessional.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

It is great to hear that you received a positive experience visiting our Team Valley and Metro Centre stores but it is upsetting to know that the same experience was not shared at our Sunderland store.

This is not the level of service we aim to provide and your negative experience will be highlighted to the relevant teams. I have contacted you via email to gather further information regarding your visit for this to be looked into further.

I do hope we can be of assistance in the future for a better service to be provided.

Today I visited the Sunderland store with my kids. Nathan was absolutely amazing, so helpful with all things fishing. Answered all our questions & helped us out with what we needed. He even gave us advise & tips on where to find examples on you tube of setting up our line up.
Nathan showed myself & my son how to do the loop to loops.
Excellent customer service.

Brilliant customer service and knowledge from Shaunnxa

Came in for a lightweight waterproof coat to go to the matches in and walk the dog in. Had looked at 2 Berghaus coats online and wanted to try them both on in the shop to see how they looked on me. Shaunnxa was absolutely brilliant at helping me decide which one would be best suited for my activities. She was very patient as Id tried multiple sizes but was no bother for her!
Will definitely be returning 👍
