Loved this shop, a great selection of mens and ladies clothing alike, top brands and reasonable prices, the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Went in for a browse, spent a fortune, well worth it 👍

As others have said, very rude staff. Went to buy a shirt and the woman on the till very abruptly told me ‘go to the men’s till,’ even though there was no-one waiting in queue! There wasn’t even anything to indicate there were separate men’s and women’s tills - and it’s only a small store anyway. They also won’t give refunds, even when a product is unworn with tags on and receipt - only credit notes. They don’t tell you this when you buy a product. Haven’t know this to happen anywhere else. Unusual to find such bad customer service in this day and age.

Very good range of products with a large choice of sizes and excellent sales staff especially Helen who sorted me out with a very nice Barbour jacket.

Rang up about a pair of Wellingtons. Lady kept one pair aside without being asked as she knew I was on my way! Great spot and fantastic service

Just been to buy some new wellies. I have wide feet and chunky calves, so I’m not the easiest person to find wellies for. Sandra was super helpful, friendly and made the whole thing fun. She was brilliant! I’ll be back when I need more outdoorsy stuff. Thank you 👏🏻

5*** Came today lfrom blackpool looking for some walking Boots knowing I'm hard to find as I suffer with duck feet and need wide fitting. I found a pair and loved them but to tight 🥺 Then a lovely lady called Sandra came and helped me and found a way to resolve to issue and made me one happy Lady and I left with the boots I picked. Best shop around and fantastic staff Thank you so much will definitely recommend this place xx 💖

Just a warning to make sure you really want the item because they don't offer refund - only credit note! They don't tell you this before making the purchase.

Very happy to recommend. Placed an online order which unfortunately had to be returned. My return and subsequent replacement were dealt with professionally and extremely efficiently. I would highly recommend this company and will certainly be using it again myself in the future. Many thanks especially to Luke, great service.

I purchased my Barbour coat from Ken Vareys last week and I am over the moon with it! The staff was very friendly as always and really helped me find the perfect coat. The new stylish shop was very welcoming and the service was great, 10/10😁 I would definitely recommend shopping here, it’s always a great experience.

I would not recommend shopping here. You cannot return any items, no matter what! They only give you a credit note. The frustrating thing is a member of staff actually said to us the week before "you can bring it back if you change your mind" turns out that was a lie. Disappointed to say the least.

Visited the store last week to look at Dubarry boots , I am not sure which ones to buy as the fittings are all different , because they are an expensive purchase I want to be sure I am buying. the right ones for me , a member of the shop team greeted me with a smile and when she saw I was Looking at Dubarry she immediately gave me one to one… service , a little pushy but helpful , after looking around the shop I decided to try a pair of Sligo Dubarry boots on , again she was helpful but I was still unsure whether the Sligo boots would be serviceable enough , I thought they are more of a

Visited this shop twice in the last week. I found the customers service outstanding and I was made to feel that nothing was too much trouble. Special mention to Luke, he really looked after both me & my husband. Great range of Dubarry & Schoffel.

I been to several shops looking for the right arbour jacket. Had so many disappointment with lack of stock and not my size.
Ken Varey was so well stocked, lots of choice and I left with a barbour jacket and a smile on my face.
Can I also say the staff in the shop were so helpful and didn't mind me trying on several jackets before I made my mind up.
A really big thankyou to this store

I returned a Barbour jacket yesterday as it was faulty. The lady who served me was not a bit helpful or interested in fact abrupt & kept insisting I needed my receipt. I wasn’t asking for my money back just wanted it sending back to Barbour to be sorted. Their customer service is appalling, I am surprised they have any customers treating them this way will never shop there again.
