Salisbury - Shopping around Salisbury

The best antique shop for miles around, tremendous selection that changes frequently, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very highly recommended.

I can thoroughly recommend a visit to Salisbury Antiques Centre. I tend to go every 6-8 weeks and there is a good turnover of high quality antiques. There are quite a lot of Continental antiques, particularly French, which are of interest to me. It is a relaxing place to potter and there is no pressure to buy anything. Although it is not cheap I think the prices are reasonable for the quality on offer – certainly compared to London prices. I also always have a go at haggling, although I am not much good at it! Paul is very personable and helpful - I get on well with Chris too but I have mainly dealt with Paul recently.

Very helpful thank you

Jonathan Green Antiques are based at the back of the Antiques Market so disregard the comments made previously about other areas of the Antiques Market. I've always found the staff very knowledgeable, friendly and fair. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, and all my purchases have been of excellent quality. Many thanks, Jonathan Green Antiques:)

Great selection of items.

A MASSIVE THANKYOU TO THE STAFF AT JAS PARKWOOD. I absolutely love my hair. The staff are very friendly and professional. I had a half head of highlights and it went perfectly. I wouldn't go anywhere else to have my hair done. I've recently moved to Weymouth but it's worth the journey.

Very good service, and they only use cruelty free products!

Always friendly, helpful and professional xx

Lovely ladies friendly and helpful. Great job.

Friendly ladies who clearly have regularly updated their skills and knowledge. Both are passionate about nails and are very helpful to someone like me with no knowledge of this. Have only had nails done so far, but might well be tempted to try other treatments!

One of the best Waterstones I've visited! Love the space and upstairs is just perfect. Great staff and excellent selection of books

Good staff. Clean and well presented shop. Big selection on books.

I volunteer here so am biased but there's a fine selection of "nearly as good as new" paperback fiction and hardback fiction, some signed by the author, masses of CDs at £1, DVDs which range from £1-£3, etc. etc. By shopping here you get a bargain and help the poorest people in the world.

If you don't purchase your books, CDs, DVDs, vinyl records or sheet music here then you don't know of the shop's existence

There are not many Christian Bookshops left. I confess I have an interest but I am impressed by the stock of bibles and childrens books in particular. A lot of work has gone into a methodical sorting of a huge range of second hand books on the 2nd floor. I enjoyed morning coffee in the 1st floor refreshment area and the use of free wifi

Had repair done on by gear cable, for my biccyle. Quick & reasonable price. Customer Service excellent. Thank you.

Very good display of merchandise, experienced and helpful staff, wide range of car and bicycle accessories and essentials. Shopping in this place occasionally during last 6 years never was disappointed and often really pleased with the way they treat customers.

Excellent car parts store, very good value for money with a great deal of choice from budget to original parts, I use them many many times for a number of years now and they go out of there way to help you, five star rating in my books

The sales staff are super friendly and extremely helpful, with excellent product knowledge.

Great motor factors, knowledgeable staff and extremely helpful.

Popped in with road bike done it there and then and bike is super smooth now mechanic chris was super helpful and done a great job on bike very happy

Best, helpful, understanding Manager I have dealt with for a long time. All the staff have been polite, helpful and have gone out of their way to make sure I am okay. Thank you all so very much. Best customer service I have experienced. Thank you again. Jez Bird

Very nice team, gave me the time to look around and have a think, were there when i had questions, customer service 1st class from start, to driving off with my new car.

The people are very knowledgeable, very friendly and don't rip you off. Cars are very reasonably priced. Their opening hours are very good. Bought a car from them last week and our granddaughter bought one from them a few months ago and we are both very pleased with our cars. The garage does everything it can to help you.

Not as many cars as expected and struggled to find it could.do with more signs.

WOW what can I say... what a great experience by the whole team at Penton, Chris Evans made the whole experience of buying my Vauxhall viva rocks outstanding.. he was very knowledgeable and funny! I was refreshed with complimentary tea and coffee and even had a cheeky galaxy hot choc! The whole team are professional and really made the buying journey enjoyable.. I can’t recommend the service plan enough as well! Great value for money. me being in my 70s and not having to worry about anything under the bonnet for years to come! Well done Penton see you in 3 years. Many thanks Nathan

Whole car buying experience was very easy, professional and smooth. After care service has been prompt and courteous as well. Especial thanks to Dean Green who handled the whole transaction brilliantly.

Attractive prices and services were available. My partner and I were welcomed by a friendly staff members filling the drinks fridge. When making our selections from the drinks fridge we were welcomed by a friendly staff member. A lovely female manager wearing a white shirt was also present. I think her name was "Mirela". After promoting the shell card to us, she kindly answered some questions relating to the signing up process for the card. She made the benefits of joining the Shell Club clear. Another staff member on the till whose name I cannot spell was also friendly and helpful. The service at Shell Bemerton is fantastic! Hopefully, they will be able to maintain this high quality service. In the future I will return to this garage. Excellent prices, extraordinary management and a complete service!

I visit this Shell mostly on Sundays when I'm in Salisbury. There's a friendly chap who works only on Sunday evenings. I think his name is 'Ignas' and he is Polish. He works very hard and provides a brilliant service. Hopefully, the other staff will follow his example. Also, he sold me my first fill-up on fuel in my beloved car! He must be promoted!

Great service after hours

Not much to say, more expensive than Asda or Sainsbury's

Would of gaving them 5 stars but they didnt have any chocolate filled doughnuts 😂

Nice petrol station but everything is a rip-off. I can get half the stuff there for more than half price.

Waitrose & Shell. What a great combination.

Good place to get your fuel, very modern pumps allows you not only pay with your card but also pre-set how much fuel you wish to put in or how much money you ready to spend.

Always good for fuel prices.

Good stop to stretch my legs on way to Bath. Costa coffee, good selection of sandwiches and hot snacks. Clean public toilets. What is amazing is the selection of wines and beers. What a find! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Petrol however is as expensive as the rest.

Handy position. Good prices for ally. Also post office

Vince is a total professional; fantastic motocycle engineer and genuinely nice guy. He has been servicing my 1997 750 Africa Twin for the last 6 years. I love popping in and seeing his latest "special build". 1st class!

Really helpful, the guys will do there best no matter what, brilliant 👍

Denise and Gary Just wanted to drop you both a line to say thank you. The service I received from you both while buying the bike was exceptional, could not of asked for more. I have been on the bike for most of the day and it is faultless In every way. Thank you also for getting it serviced so quickly so I could get my hands on it today!! Keep up the good work, service like this is hard to find these days. Thank you.

Good friendly staff. Will give you all the time help and advise you need. But do not rush you. And listen to what you are looking for and want. Will help you get the right kit you are looking for. Really help with daughter hetting on the road from her clothes to bike. I can't thank them enough.

Picked up a puncture on my Honda CTX1300 near Shaftesbury yesterday afternoon & having arranged for the bike to be recovered, taking it to Salisbury was our best option (as we could get a train back to Bristol where we live) so found SJS via Google. Rang & spoke to Shaun @ 4pm to see if they could help & bike was dropped off at 4.45... Despite having other work on & other bikes to tend to, a new tyre was ordered & I got a phone call at 10am the followIng morning to say my bike was ready. Absolutely first class service (especially as I had trouble obtaining a new back tyre for the bike last year) & SJS, to me, is obviously run by a biker for bikers! Enjoyed the banter too! 😃 Know where I’ll be going in future! Thanks again guys! 👍

Absolutely brilliant service, felt a wobble through the bike so I took it down to the shop to see what it could be, they tightened the chain, corrected the tyre pressure, checked the wheel bearings, adjusted the throttle and clutch to remove any dead zones and even got rid of a nasty mark from a sticker. When all was said and done, I wasn't even charged a penny, couldn't be happier.

Love their furniture collection.

Big selection of furniture.

A perfectly sound charity shop. Worth supporting.

Call in spend a few pound

Really great shop to find some deals. I bought a hat that cost you in the designer shop more than £240 but I got it for just £5.99.

Great effort by the staff

It did have some nice high heeled shoes and a nice boot bag that fitted my football boots in. The staff are friendly and they help you a lot if you do need help. I would recommend it to people. Not the best shoe shop that there is though. But still, it is a nice shop 😀

Reasonable prices and always friendly and helpful service. Been coming here for years.

Staff are very efficient. Large shop. Parking great, position near petrol stations x2, and other food super markets

Outstanding service, goods. Shop floor is neat and tidy, loads of stock. Overall a 10/10 experience.

Very helpful but could be a bit more knowledgeable about their deals and dither less but overall a good service.

Excellent staff great help and knowledgeable on products .

The best mens clothing shop in Wiltshire.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great selection of quality gents clothing.

Always excellent service, from wonderful staff.. Superb range of quality clothing.

Helpfully happy to see me

Top man in Salisbury is easily accessible from the car park. The shop is disabled friendly and staff are extremely polite

Nice clothes at great prices. Staff are very friendly.

Ottimo negozio.

Lovely staff, good shop

Great staff and really helpful

What can I say this shop always delivers impeccable service. The staff very attentive. Offers changing rooms on both floors. Found exactly what I needed for an up coming wedding with my dress and the assistant helped me choose the accessories from hat to shoes. Perfect

Very helpful staff

I have known and worked with Lucy on and off for many years. Passionate, dedicated and hardworking. You'll be in safe hands with these guys.

We came across Ken Hill at Hill Data Systems Limited when we started using Microsoft Office 365 Midsize Business in September 2013. We use their telephone support system that is charged by the minute. Our early experience has been extremely positive. Ken is very knowledgeable in his subject area and he addresses our queries quickly and professionally.

ABC are amazingly brilliant. I was one of those people who thought it’s only a bit of snow and left work Thursday without any client details. We are Gentle Dental and at 6am when I realised I was not going to get into town panic set in. How was I going to let people know not to come for their appointments.? Emma and the ABC guys were brilliant. It took them a while to work out how to get us access and we managed to contact everyone. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and dogged determination to try everything until they got things sorted for me. Thanks guys! Niamh Gentle Dental Salisbury.

Having had problems for some time with my pc running slow and eventually not working, I took a friends recommendation and contacted Robert. After a thorough discussion around the problems I was getting, I dropped my pc off and went on holiday hoping there wouldn't be the "it's past it's sell by date and you need a new pc" chat when I returned. When I contacted Robert, he explained that I had had a faulty hard drive, he'd purchased and installed another (with my prior approval), reinstalled all my software, recovered all by existing data and that it was running really well. Now that I've set the pc up at home, I can agree with Robert's comment. Overall, excluding the cost of a new drive, Robert charged £75 which I believe is excellent value. Having been recommended Robert's service, I'm very happy to endorse his work and to recommend him too.

My Old Dear Friend

handy for those last minute birthday cards you forgot to get on your way home.

Really great choice of cards for all occasions, sometimes a bit pricey.

Well done hardings

A great place to browse. Good books and craft supplies at good prices served by friendly staff. What's not to like 👍🏻

Always happy with works friendly staff good prices

Loved this knitting shop. Lady very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgable. Great range of colours in excellent quality yarn.

Tiny shop with great srlection

Brilliant place, great range of high quality materials. Really friendly and knowledgeable

Excellent selection and very very helpful lady serving.

Mike is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, any problems you have he will solve. So polite and goes the extra mile for you, whether it is ordering parts or as simple as drilling out a stuck screw. I won't use any other shop after the 5 star service I received from Mike.

Helpful and efficient.

Amazing customer service! My little boy had had real trouble finding helmets to fit him and other stores didn't want to take the time to really help. Stonehenge Cycles were amazing. A member of staff spent a long time trying to find the right one then, he called a lady over from their other shop and she then spent ages helping us, gave great advice and didn't let us leave until she was sure we had the right product. And it had a light on it! What more could a 4 year old want. He spent the next 2 days carrying it with him everywhere and telling everyone all about it!

Seriously impressed by quality and friendliness of staff when I had my road bike serviced the other day. Ian and Billy friendly and helpful, great advice, and bike returned to me in pukka condition. Exceptionally pleased and will in future look to get my bike serviced here rather than near my home in London.

Fantastic service and knowledge that can only be gained through years of experience. A local shop that earns its support.

Have been using these guys since I was at school for cycles and motorcycles I am now nearly 50, superb product knowledge and top notch customer service highly recommended.

Yassin was outstanding he was so helpful and went beyond his job discription what a lovely guy. We could not have managed any of it without him. Give him a big thank you. The lady on customer's service was lovely to.

Always what you need pretty much when you need it, competitive pricing and easy to get to the one in Salisbury. Just be careful of the traffic on Southampton road, very busy at times !

We love going to InExcess, admittedly we often go for the dinosaurs which the kids find brilliant. That said there are always things we need and they always seem to have them at a good cheap cost. The cafe is pretty reasonable for its size and does a nice selection of different meals, cakes and drinks. That said you are there to shop and if you need hardware it is a great place to start..... You want screws take your pick from tens of different sizes and buy the amount you want.

Always find what I need and loads of bargains. Staff helpful even putting things in the car for you if they're too heavy. The dinosaurs in the car park are absolutely brilliant. Worth putting a pound coin in to get them started. A fabulous surprise for the children.

Can take a while to get to if traffic is heavy. Has own car park. Has customer toilet. Typical B&Q.

Great products,very helpful staff.went in for a roll of fablon,came out with bargain price rattan garden suite + 10% over 60s Wednesday discount.😊

Another excellent level of service from the Manager & his team. Shaun made all the needed effort to get the equipment we needed via his other internal branches and delivered to site.

Cheaper than the competition by far and chucked in Sunday for free. Great!

Friendly and helpful staff, highly recommend. They had both 25mm insulation board and 6.5m scaffold poles, just what I was looking

Best place to buy wood imo. Helpful staff too.

Iove this shop because there are good choices and good prices of furniture and the staff is always friendly and helpful we are definitely coming back again and again

Good range of second hand goods, handy delivery times. Mid-ranged price and helpful staff. Frankly poor quality brand new flat pack furniture.

A great team and super helpful (particularly on short notice for some more unusual items), easy to deal with across the UK, although Salisbury is my main point of contact. Thanks for looking after me!

Good quality products for home and garden, very often with great sales. Unfortunately the small size of this shop can be a bit of the problem in peak hours :-(

Always friendly and helpful

Fantastic service. My fiancé has loved every bouquet she has ever got from here. A cut above the rest. They seem to be more stylish then other florists. The shop always smells great, the staff are very friendly and you can have a great cuppa while you wait. Perfect.

I am so in love with this shop. Every time I have had flowers from Pauline and her team they have been utter perfection, some how so much more stylish then you can get anywhere else. The shop is beautiful, and smells insane. I love the botanical feel. The candles and gifts are amazing. I have some incredible wooden Pilar Candelabras from there, that everyone always compliments on. They are doing my flowers for my wedding in 5 weeks and it is the only thing I am not worried about, as I know they will be more then I ever dreamed.

I rang this morning and by lunch time a lovely colourful tied bunch of flowers arrived at my mums. I have ordered before and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you so much.

They did make a mistake but rang up to admit it and refund the money. The flowers delivered were of an excellent standard

I just wanted to say how pleased my now husband, Eddie & I were with the beautiful wedding bouquets and button holes Jill, Phil and the whole team at Shirley Snells delivered. Jill went through in great detail my ideas on what i’d like and quickly explained that some of the flowers I had in mind were not available at that time of the year, and very quickly gave me some alternatives to consider. There was quite a fight when I threw my bouquet, much to my daughters disgust as she had her eye on it lol. Thanks guys, I wouldn’t go anywhere else when I need flowers as all the ones I have brought from you guys in the past last so long why would I go anywhere else! Thanks x

Ordered 3 funeral tributes - a wreath, a spray and hand tied bouquet. All 3 were lovely. Flowers very fresh and so beautifully arranged - even the funeral director commented about how pretty they were. All sorted out with the minimum of fuss. Thank you.

Lovely fair trade shop in Salisbury. A great selection of things including food, household products and gifts.

Lovely independent shop, with helpful friendly staff. A warren of new ideas!

Independent shop , great place to go for a bite to eat or just a hot / healthy drink. Food is vegetarian/ vegan friendly. They offer a range of supplements and also hold talks on various interesting subjects Fully recommend.

Great range of products especially if you like raw chocolate. However the shop is rather expensive with a massive hike up from online costs. They are not great at moving to new health foods on the market and often have found the staff which is large to be uninterested and at times just plain rude. Still good but far from great.

Plenty of choice with helpful and knowledgeable assistants. Plenty of offers too. A bit down at heel.

Plenty of choice of good quality items in various sizes. Knowledgeable service in a wonderful setting.

Very positive place for people with learning difficulties and associated conditions to have a meaningful time and experience.

Caring

Great place to get things cheaper than the big name supermarkets. Easy parking there and good garden centre too.

massive range of items..from toys to garden..cleaning to food...lots of bargains..easy to get around and nice fast friendly service!

Always helpful, knowledgeable staff and competitive prices. Highly recommended.

Good service and polite. Had what wanted in stock

National chain with same standards

Awsome place so helpful

Called in got a hello then pulled the wallet our and everyone was helpful

Went to Tribbeck Jewellers to buy an engagement ring and cannot praise the quality of service and staff enough, especially Rachel who was fantastic. My girlfriend (Sarah) and I were left alone to browse the showroom without being pestered by staff and when we asked for assistance it was very attentive. Rachel, after a short discussion with us established what type of ring would be perfect for my girlfriend. Rachel was also very mindful of our budget and did not try to entice us to buy a more expensive ring. In fact she positively promoted a ring that was well under our budget figure as she felt it would be perfect for Sarah. She was right and Sarah loved the ring. After sales service was also great as the ring needed sizing, this was done promptly and without fuss. We also received a congratulatory bottle of Champagne - cheers H R Tribbeck & Son! Will definitely use them again and get the wedding rings. Thank you.

Great window display

Nice sized store, click and collect available. LImited range for footwear.

Helpful staff. Reasonable range of stock.

Love Trespass, love Trespass coats! Total bargain for a proper coat!

Got everything I needed for skiing, very kind staff as well!

Really helpful, kind and friendly

Good selection of hiking/camping/outdoor activities equipment

This place is great for every aspect of animals care. The staff are willing to help, there is a huge variety of products to suit specific needs and to be honest it's a great place to just sit down and have a bite to eat in there on site cafe. I mainly visit for the aquarium section which of course is really amazing. With a vast selection of items to buy from it easy to spend far more time in this store than you intended and money.

The store is very big and the staff are very kind. There prices are very reasonable and the variety is good. There is plenty of stuff to choose from in all departments but their reptile section is rather small in comparison to other areas like the aquatic and dog sections. The location is great as it is not too far from the city centre that you could walk but driving is easier given it's distance.

I had. I idea this was in Salisbury I only found out by typing in google pet stores near me and this was the second one that came up. Being a new dog owner I was unsure of stuff and they were so accommodating and helpful and very professional they never dried to sell me anything I never needed they only sold me the things I needed and answered all my questions. They are so friendly always smiling and very approachable , not at any time did I feel uneasy Love this store

Great vets and good prices

This time it's going to be not about products and prices but about staff. They really good and helpful. I can just admire how patient they were when bringing yet another and another pair of shoes when I was trying to find the perfect item for me. Great job!

Tons of good stuff there, great staff. Except one time I saw a lady working at the till, but she was more concentrated on her nails than the customer!

i love all of my DBA kit

What an amazing team ! thank you everyone at Holeshot for my daughters bike , delivery was spot on we had organised a delivery date and it arrived exactly when we had asked for it. My four year old is madly in love with her Oset thank you very much 😊

Stunning place for motocross vehicles and motor Cross equipment

I love this place. Such beautiful stationery.

Very nice staff and great store lay out price let's it down

Great things for kids could be less expensive but all in all great and lots of fun could be much cheaper though

Best shop chain on the high street

Excellent refit, well done

I have now purchased a new tv set up and a mac book here in the last month and the customer service offered is outstanding. We were helped on both occasions by Jamie and he could not of done more for us. Best customer service I have had in a long time.

Over the past year I have been having trouble with a TV I bought at the store though frankly there seems to be an intermittent fault elsewhere as I've had one set repaired then replaced despite the intermittent problem not being found. CURRYS/PC World have been very helpful throughout. RECOMMENDED.

Great ranges of games, some second hand but unused. A nice collection wherein you can browse for something that interests you. Additionally, good store music.

Staff always nice and always helpful. and sometimes can find a great deal on some old or new games!

Standard Argos. Not the biggest in the world but absolutely fine for my purposes. There is free parking outside. I'm not sure if it's time-limited. You can also get Ebay deliveries posted to here for easy pick-up which is really useful.

It's a very small Argos which surprised me based on the amount of people in the local area. We ordered a new cutlery set which was better than expected!

Expert cleaning to a very high standard every time. The owners are very obliging and offer a totally reliable service. Very reasonably priced as well. Highly recommended.

Phil Small was recommended to us for our Party back in November, we found the Company ever so helpful, even from our initial enquiry. A Fantastic Family Business in the heart of Salisbury! And a special thanks to Dan aswel! I thoroughly recommend them!

Really happy with every purchase from Majestic Salisbury. Luis is always our go to person for help and wine recommendations and they are always on point.

Amazing selections of wines, spirits, beers and goodness knows what else. There are usually a handful of reds and whites available to taste which helps the excellent staff make fantastic recommendations. We've not been disappointed yet!

Best butchers in salisbury, always get my steak from James, highly recommend

Excellent for whole sale.

Good little independent wine merchant with a good selection. The owner/manager was friendly and helpful. A bit of the pricey side for some items but otherwise good. Recommended to me by a colleague.

absolutely brilliant little wine store, very helpful staff, really know their stuff!
