This store is on the market square just behind the church. It runs the length of the block, and is the largest outdoor store in Kingston. It has a cafe and soft-play area inside. I was on the look-out for a specific knee-high mid-weight sock, which I've been looking for, for ages, and was delighted that they had it in stock. It'll be a regular calling point for me from now on. Reasonably friendly staff, though I only needed to speak to them at the till.

Generally okay if the item you want is in stock... But I would strongly advise against ordering…read moreanything that is "due in a few weeks" and I definitely wouldn't recommend using a Cyclescheme voucher. The communication and aftercare when things go wrong is absolutely abysmal. I ordered £3k of bike and accessories. One of the components was due in a couple of weeks, the rest was in stock. I received an email that my bike build had been booked in and was given a delivery date for my bike. The delivery date came and went. No communication at all. I contacted Sigma to be told that the component had been delayed. Only because I chased was the rest of my order sent. A couple of months passed by. No communication at all. I contacted Sigma only to be told that the component had been delayed further - by a whole year. The delay might not be their fault, but the lack of communication is. Because I ordered on the cycle to work scheme a refund was not possible. And instead was told I had £379 store credit. In the meantime I'd made an order for cash so asked if they'd be able to refund and apply some of my store credit. I was told that someone would contact me to discuss. After a couple of weeks I chased Sigma (again!) to find out how to use my £379 credit as no one contacted me. And I was told that no, they couldn't apply the store credit to my previous order. So I've been messed around, ignored, and have had nothing constructive offered to help with the situation. All I have is store credit to buy some stuff that I don't really need or want. I've been given a hollow apology - but actions speak louder than words. When things go wrong, how a company responds can make the difference between customer loyalty and never using that company again. I will not be recommending Sigma Sports to my cycling friends.

That tracking number was only show up as tracking info received without actual package. After a week or more without any movement i contacted them and they was looking into it for another 2 weeks without any replied. Than i contacted them in chat and they told its lost and asked what i want reship or refund. I said reship and 5 days later contacted again them and they wasnt aware about reship and said will contact me again. And they just refunded me in the end instead of reship without asking. Its just worst customer support ever. You need to wait weeks to get an update and still end up in nothing

The price of outdoor gear has been going up in a crazy way over the years with new ranges each year with supposed increases in quality and technical attributes being the reason for price increases. Millets counters this to some extent by offering basics at reasonable prices which may not do the job as well as some of the top ranges but unless you are on the hills every weekend you may not even notice this. If heavy rain is likely I just stay at home so the latest waterproof is not needed!

I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING the fact that Surrey is shedding it's banker belt, geriatric image, full of…read moresoulless national chains, poor food, and independent stores that have seen better days. G!ro cycles is a new cafe on the edge of Esher's high street that combines the quintessential coffee + cycle. The atmosphere is busy and full of cyclists finishing group rides when we head in on a Sunday mid morning. Coffee here is served by trained baristas and matches the quality and standard of other independent coffee shops in the area. At the rear is a bike shop teeming with independent bike gear, unlike your chain stores in Guildford and Chertsey. Service is friendly even when time is short and the baristas are well trained and pump out drinks briskly and with ease. Coffee is provided by a local roaster, Beanberry, and is of fine quality. Overall, a great experience. Time to find work from home days so that I can head over and work from this awesome place.

I can't believe there are only 2 reviews on this place! Then again, it's a cyclist cafe so I'm…read moreguessing most people who come here just chill, eat, and go. Don't be fooled by the lack of reviews. This place is buzzing. It's honestly a standard cafe size but it becomes packed quickly after a cycling event, before lunch time on the weekends, or right after work. They're menu is predominantly health focused which means you get an array of hip smoothies, oatmeal on the go, and avocado toast. I'm honestly the biggest fan of their coffee. Being a coffee fanatic, I get picky but Giro's is strong and delicious. They also have a diverse list of milk alternatives which is always a plus. I can't speak for how they make cappuccinos or lattes but their Americanos are great. The staff are polite and friendly but they do have a tendency to blast AC during the summer months so go with a cardigan. They have a mini cycling shop at the back of the cafe which is cool to peak at if you're bored from working on your laptop.

When I recently noticed Yelper Pat G's invitation for me to visit The Plough again as there had a…read morebeen a change of management since my last visit when I was unimpressed by the food Walking in from the pub car park, I noticed that they've rebranded themselves as Chaba Thai. The interior has also been refurbished. In common with the pub itself, the decor is now modern with a sleek dark brown colour scheme giving the place an inviting air After picking a drink at the bar, I was invited to choose my table. The service was great from the Thai speaking waitresses. A bowl of complementary prawn crackers arrived while I was perusing the menu. They were also attentive enough to turn up the lights to help me read the menu and my newspaper I went with my test dish for Thai restaurants. Unusually, though the place has apparently changed hands according to Pat G, they made the same mistake with my pad thai as on my previous visit - they were too sweet and I did miss the crunch of crushed peanuts which usually accompany pad thais but not here I had paired my noodles with chicken gand dang, advertised in the menu as a spicy red curry. The waitress even checked with me that I had intended to order a spicy hot curry and I answered in the affirmative. While the dish was inoffensive, the spicy description must have been calibrated more to Leatherhead than Bangkok palates, so much so that I was able to drink the remaining broth like a soup At this point, my Yelp rating was 4/5 for the service but only 2/3 for the food where a 3 in my book means inoffensive enough but failing to make it onto my rotation of regular places to dine at So, in true Yelp fashion, I used a tie breaker and ordered dessert, something I don't often do, especially at an Asian restaurant. I went with the banana hot bowl, described as steamed slices of banana in coconut milk and sugar and sprinkled with sesame seed. What arrived was very reminiscent of a Malaysian nyonya dish called bubur cha cha, which usually had things like pieces sweet potato and yam also added to give the dish variety and body For the childhood memories evoked by the dessert, I'm going to round up my score to a 4, mainly because of the good service but while the food side has improved, it could still do better, especially as the prices are at the higher medium end. For good Thai food, I like to see a mixture and balance of different flavours, something which Chaba Thai could continue to evolve
