Shorncliffe - Shopping around Folkestone

excellent service, no problems and would recommend

Always has lots of stock. Reasonable prices.

Used this company a lot now, they have done a TV unit, side unit, dining table (twice) chest of drawers and dining chairs and much more! I'm very particular with what I buy, when I first purchased my items, I was into dark solid wood. As my taste changed my furniture did not. Everything I like has to be solid, I don't do "new" I like things with character. Everything must be able to go the same shade to match though. Except going lighter in colour. That's what I'm into now. The new lease of life in my items look like I've brought new items! My tv unit was so dark it needed to stay int he 00s now it's immaculate and beautiful to look at. This was the first item Pristine did for me and I was amazed at how special it looked. The dining table, it's been done twice. Joys of young children! Each time it's done ridiculously quick! I will constantly get them to do it yearly, until I come across a better one that takes my fancy. I doubt it though! Barry and his team always make it look amazing! Just need my children to grow quicker so my table stays looking good always. For now it will go to Pristine for its magic fix! New to me Dining chairs, been in storage for years, they had gone mouldy, scratched the lot. Fit for the bin in my opinion. Three days they were with Pristine Wood and they really are in Pristine condition now! Now with my beautiful table. My pine chest of drawers, the latest thing to of been done. They were waxed pine. The 90s called, they wanted there Drawers back. They were splitting, chips in wood everything. I loved them, they fit everything and more in! Keys to the drawers were long gone, handles hideous. I'd owned them for years! Collected today I have two new beautiful keys, amazing handles and it's now a beautiful light oak colour. If you want the best then look no further! Turn around is quick, everything is done to a perfect standard. They have nearly had all my furniture from my home now! I will constantly be a repeat customer. 10/10!

Barrie and his team have done some amazing work for us, we may be in the same building but we have had plenty done for our house

Thank you, Paul and Karen for all your help on sunday, It was a pleasure to meet you both and the Jacqmar Vintage scarf is a classic. Worn all the way home. we will be back soon. All the best from Ian and Faith

This is amazing, I've learnt so much and met so many new people and ive made friends for life

I've been going to pure indulgence for over 6 years now and I cannot recommend this place highly enough! If your looking for friendly staff, top quality treatments and a salon experience that gives you a wonderful pampering experience then this is the place to go! It's definitely called pure indulgence for a reason- you will not find a better salon or team of staff in all of Kent!

Been going to this salon for over a year. I am always happy after each appointment, they are very understanding with appointment times and always put their customers first. The whole team are so professional and friendly. I can't recommend this place enough!

I'm relatively new to the area, and the thought of having to 'cheat' on my regular hairdresser filled me with dread! I found the staff at Nirvana to be very friendly, and the service and price to be brilliant. I've been for two cuts now, and will be booking my third appointment today. Very happy with my hair! Thank you.

Claire was so knowledgeable and patient working on ideas for my wedding hair do. Looking forward to my next appointment (hope she is too :-) )

Excellent choice. Knowledgeable staff

Great staff here. Very helpful. Great kids reading area too.

Lovely little shop, full of a selection of books, and they allow me to bring my little doggy in with me (Chihuahua) always friendly, helpful and full of knowledge and information on the books. Love this shop :)

Great selection of second hand books

Tienda de revistas y suvenirs

Not bad but prices seem a bit steep.

Very helpful staff

They have been very knowledgeable about a number of hardware & auto factor questions getting answered with informed knowledge. If they cannot get something OR cannot answer your questions, they usually will know of someone who can. Polite, friendly, mature & experienced staff under good management. I understand (only recently moved to Folkestone myself), that they were a separate auto factors & hardware shops, who combined & brought much range of tools, consumables & parts under one roof. All they need now, is to wear those traditional brown warehouse coats & they would take you back another era! What ever happened to such clientele relationships with their retailers? Worth the effort to visit on spec, they may have the answer before you have asked the question.

Ample free parking and helpful and friendly staff. Lots of products to see and always worth a visit.

Always a pleasure to buy at Maplins. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Top class, professional company for all your security needs. Paul and his team maintain many alarms and door entry systems in blocks that we manage. We cannot rate Metroline Security highly enough.

Not bad but prices seem a bit steep.

Very helpful staff

Got to say never been to a dealership before that put my needs first. Fantastic service from all the service team 👍🏻

Great service, always helpful. It's the only garage we use now.

We recently purchased a Mini Clubman from Riviera car sales. The service we received was brilliant - Mark was very helpful and gave us a good deal. Overall we are extremely happy with both the car and the service we received. I would totally recommend Riviera Car sales.

just like to say I have just purchased a car from this company and would highly recommend them to all my family and friends top service thank you mark powell five stars

Just about always fill up here, prices are good too if you want some treats😁

Really good petrol station. Cheap petrol

The staff are great and friendly, the pricing not bad as well

Take my Triumph speed triple here regularly for various fixes and MOT. Always really helpful, excellent advice and reasonable cost. Work is always carried out to high standard. Highly recommend this great local shop.

Cheriton motorcycles give a friendly service and have worked on my bikes over the last 17+ years. I can always count on a fast turnaround great job and a fair price. Advice is free and freely given if you are a diyer. Highly recommended.

Got some Vance and Hines straight shots over to me the next day! Thanks 👊🏻

Great selection of second hand books

I have fond memories of volunteering here so I know it is a bona fide good shop. The stock sold is vetted thoroughly before being put on the shop floor. No rags and rubbish here. Genuine, friendly staff and excellent service too.

Well... I volunteer here so I'm kinda bias. I love the staff. Very welcoming and kind.

GPs surgery just over the road, so easy to get prescriptions.

Very polite.

A large branch that is worth a visit if you are looking for 'Boots' type items. One of the few proper shops still trading in a depleted town centre.

Clean and tidy,staff always helpful.

Very nice pharmacist, always tries to help

Wife and mother-in-law live here lol.

I love this store. Loads of variety. Fabulous cafe. Lots of choice

Great store in centre of Folkestone high street. Cafe on 1st floor serves great food. Friendly staff and good selection.

Good for clothing on a budget, normally friendly and helpul staff.

this branch of Primark is a bit smaller than others, but still has the main collection that all of them have.

Primary Technologies provide superb support for the school with excellent response times, suggestions of how we can improve what we do and friendly service. I would recommend their services without hesitation. Kemsley Primary Academy

These guys are the best. They've managed our business IT for years and I can't recommend them enough. We've just undergone a huge office move and Warren IT have worked tirelessly to ensure there was as little disruption as possible. It hasn't been a straight forward task (mainly down to BT letting us down) but Warren IT managed the whole process and did an amazing job getting everything up and running before we opened the doors on the first day in our new building. Thanks so much guys 👍👍👍

It has been a pleasure to deal with Warren IT a number of times over the last year for our business needs. I have found them to be very reasonably priced, offering good techincal support and a friendly service. Well recommended.

For a small company like ours, with no IT or computer specialist staff, Steve's name is the most important one in the Contacts list. We know that when the PigginPCs van arrives our problems will be solved. Steve is always reliable and does not give up until everything is working smoothly again. I can recommend him wholeheartedly and without reservations.

Received a prompt response to telephone call outlining PC problem. Steve fixed the virus problem quickly, with a reasonable charge. Will use his services again in the future.

Brilliant service! Helping you to make the correct choice based on your experience and budget. A Linx 8 tablet got stuck on a confirmation screen after a 'Restore to Factory Settings'. A quick look on the internet showed me that I would need to be able to connect a mouse, possibly a keyboard or even a Windows Image from an usb stick. Williams didn't make me pay £40 for the full restore option, or even £10 to for using a mouse and keyboard, but I was offered a £1.99 key to plug in my own mouse, and this was all that was needed! Thank you Williams!!

Good value for money, very helpful! Loads of advice too,really know their stuff.

When its not packed to the rafters with customers its great.

Perfect for certain suppliers of papers

Wonderful shop full of lots of beautiful things, the staff are welcoming and very helpful . If you are looking for an unusual piece of jewellery then this is the place to go

Such a gem in the heart of the Creative Quarter in Folkestone, Kent. Perfect for that little gift for an aunty, sister or mum. Also a lovely collection of children's toys, mugs, stationary and books. Love the decor too!

Went in looking for card for a project. Staff very knowledgable and helpful. Left with a bargain box of card perfect for my needs. Good old fashioned customer service from friendly staff. Will definitely recommend. Thank you.

Awesome family-run arts and crafts business!

Great variety of everything you could possibly want. The cafe does a lovely bacon roll. This store is really worth a visit near to Christmas as they do a huge range of decs and toys.

Stationary books crayons paints very interesting shop to visit. Something there for everybody

Steve was extremely helpful with ordering and installing roof bars for my car. He even saved me money by advising against purchasing an additional part which was not needed in effect doing himself out of an additional sale.. his honesty was something you don't often see these days. Thank you!

a fantastic local bike shop and much more than that an integral part of the local cycling community for both road and mtb riding. Friendly and knowledgable team who go the extra distance to help - this week they have turned around a quick past minute repair for me ahead of a trip away.

Great service cheap bike rent 15€ a day 70 a week

On holiday and pushchair wheel fell off. Found this place and very kind staff fixed it no problem, reasonable price. Thank you Bob and Richard

New Bunnings warehouse opened officially on 29/7/2017. Situated in the old B&Q store at Park Farm in Folkestone, Bunnings sell all your DIY goods & more. Great selections of tools, hardware, decorating equipment etc. Great & lovely choice of flowers plants & shrubs in the garden centre section. There is also a tool hire counter by the enquiries desk. Also a small sit-down cafe offering hot/cold drinks & light snacks & cakes etc. There is also a trade counter there. So far seems very popular, prices seem reasonable enough. Plenty of staff available & all very cheery, friendly & helpful.

Great staff. Baby had a melt down they gave him a free fork lift truck toy. Really good shop too. Puts most diy stores in the UK to shame and will hopefully force them to raise their game.

Absolutely brilliant. I knew what I wanted I just needed it quick and for a good price. I got next day delivery and it was £10 cheaper than anywhere else. I will definitely be coming back again for more stuff. Top quality service. Well done.

Extremely helpful customer service, would highly recommend. Thank you for your help Noah!

Good selection of homeware and hardware. Friendly staff and service

Good

Good range of tools for our refurb project and had delivery and collection too. Will def use again.

A fantastic supplier of tools and other stuff. I have used them to buy power tools and countless hand tools. They always arrived​ within a day or so on standard delivery. Usually the best price on the internet with free shipping too. I did have a problem with faulty goods a couple of times, I sent them an email with a photograph and they sent me a replacement immediately. They even let me keep the original faulty but still somewhat useful stuff! I always recommend FFX when buying tools comes up in conversation. They might even have a few extra customers because of me 😉

Personally think its the best of the lot. The staff are friendly n the service is beyond exeptional n they will always make sure you get the best for your money saved me hundreds alone. If there is ever a faulty product they are quick to fight your corner with the retailers to the best possible outcome. The extended support and cover is by far in my opinion the best on the market with no unexpected charges to the point il get it on nearly every device. 5/5 all round Outstanding

Good range of electricals, get there early if you need staff help otherwise you can be waiting ages

What a wonderful display in the flowers you did for fiona at conchitas on Saturday. We had our celebration party there and the flowers were a gift to us from Conchitas.Just had to comment as they are so nice.Well done.

I buy many ribbons and trimmings for Red Ribbon Hampers from this lovely shop the ladies that work here are lovely an almost always have what I need.x

Was extremely helpful when I enquired about a wreath I ordered and I got exactly what I required in a sad ti.e the wreath was beautiful would highly recommend and will b shopping there again hopefully in happier circumstances .

Brilliant service- I wanted a tribute placed near my Mum's remembrance plaque and Alex was very helpful, the flowers were beautiful and she even sent us a photo of them in situ because we live miles away! Thanks so much and we will use her again.

An absolute great stationary outlet and so much more. They've got a lot stocked up with very good prices too. Helpful staff and worth a visit

Very good service and the food where great. Highly recommended

I've been coming here for years but have never got round to rating them before. Pino (chef and owner) is always trying to better the place by trying new recipes and the specials board is always well populated. This place is by far the best Italian restaurant in folkestone and the only one that has a specials board. In fact the others have just sat on their current menus for the last 15 years at least.

The restaurant was very unique inside - it had lots of different furniture and where I sat the walls were covered in ripped out pages from books. The food was nice and not too expensive. I would recommend going on a Thursday because they have a sale where all Pizzas are only £5.

Pizzas are good. We usually go there on Thursdays as they do a £5 pizza offer. Due to that the place is usually crowded and service is slow. Otherwise everything is ok.

Outstanding quality! The staff are extremely attentive and attend to every possible need you might have. Food was outstanding, delicious and full of flavours! Can not recommend enough. Perfect little restaurant.

Always good service and tasty food. A hidden gem, located in a parade of local shops. Popular with locals and worth booking ahead at busy times. Open late, good for mid-week treats after work. Closed on Mondays unfortunately, like many local restaurants. Free parking available.

Fairly small branch with limited selection of products compared to other, larger branches. Good for basics such as nuts, dried fruit, soya milk, vitamins and supplements etc. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful without being too intrusive.

Could do with a wider range of free from foods, but can't fault the staff.

ZAKERHUSSAIN

Great gym great equipment,very friendly helpfully staff, the boss (kia) knows his stuff,if you want to better yourself he'll guide you ;)

Amazing gym, always super clean to an oct like standard and friendly helpful staff.

Helpfully staff, small like the old the old fashioned jewelers

Good quality , helpful pleasant staff sensible prices.. best in folkestone by far.

Excellent customer service, helpful advice & guidance. Amazing unique one off wedding ring made. Over the moon with results, highly recommend. John

Brilliant service and best prices I have found anywhere. They deliver frozen pinkies for my ferret to Folkestone punctually and very friendly people. Very happy customer

Excellent choice of products, helpful advice and cheaper than Pets at Home. I will use them in future...

My go to place for my pets and it's my vets too, staff are always happy to help and can answer any animal queries. They always have a good range of items and over the children's holidays, they have special open days where kids can go and learn about the animals they have there and stroke them, its free and really good!

The store sexed our rabbit incorrectly and we got it purposely to match with our current rabbit we got from pets at home too. Best to have a male female match. But after five days I suspected our female was a male. I was right they said. And have said they will pay for castration as two males will fair better if both are castrated. Our current male has been castrated already at our cost. Also the new rabbit is poorly and hasn't been fab since we got him home. He has diahorrea. So in house vets have him overnight to get him back to full health. I was worried when we explained our findings but the store has been wonderful. Just praying our new rabbits makes it. And that our current rabbit will accept another male.

amazing love it my good friends in there

A bit small but they literally have everything what a person needs!

Nice staff but three identical items looked used and all in differing states. One had finger prints all over and looks like the protectors had been peeled off and reapplied. One had no screen protector at all and bits of plastic in the wobbly charge port. All had dead lithium batteries which is unusual as lithium needs to be stored at 50 percent to prevent damage. It makes me wonder if argos send Sainsburys the dodgy stock so it doesnt look quite as bad on them. Anyway they helped me find the best of a bad bunch without rolling thier eyes once. Which is rare.

Grear service especially Eden and Abi always helpful

If your not only looking for your perfect dress but also wanting that dream experience of wedding dress shopping then you must come to this place. I can not tell you how fab the ladies are and how at ease they make you feel. Kirsty took the time to go through what i wanted and she picked a handful of dresses and found my perfect dress. Iv had the best experience. Thank you

This shop is not simply a wedding dress shop. This shop offers the complete package, making each and ever person feel special. There is no task too big or small for these ladies, between them, they make every related decision easy and well judged. The kind, knowledgeable atmosphere is effortless for the ladies. Help is at hand in Wedding World no matter what your budget, needs and inevitable changes are. Every bride deserves the Wedding World treatment.

Tim was incredibly professional, helpful and attentive whilst photographing our wedding. He put us and all of the guests at ease whilst guiding and giving direction. He has a great sense of humour which all of our guests commented on and he was a massive hit. We really appreciate him coming all the way from Kent to honour our booking and it made the day extra special! Thanks Tim! Sam & Jake.

Tim is a truly wonderful photographer ... and a really nice guy! He captured natural pictures for our wedding and made our guests feel at ease - he even helped reassure my dad when the nerves kicked in! Thank you Tim we love our pictures SO much :D and our family and friends agree your shots are stunning! It was lovely to meet you! Samantha and Chris

Just been to see the pictures from our bump and baby shoots. Amazing photos, amazingly presented. I cried like a baby! David has been fantastic with both shoots so far. Putting me at ease and being calm and patient with our baby. Can't recommend enough.

We have visited twice for the grow with me package- both times have been very good. Dave set up is effective and professional. For example we took our newborn the first time and Dave took photos of her with props, we would lift her and he would swap the props within seconds, take more photos and repeat. Overall the shoot didn't take long and we had around 50 amazing pictures of us and our baby in a variation of props and styles. His prices are very good and he's a very friendly chap which goes a long way when your trying to get a baby to sit still for a photoshoot! He's always offered us a drink and his waiting room feels homely. We're looking forward to our next photoshoot.
