My go-to sports shop for kit. All the staff are amazing and always so knowledgeable and helpful. I never come out empty handed and love shopping locally. Thanks Stewart for your friendly service with a smile and a good laugh.

Thanks Stuart for the advise today regarding the tennis racket. I always where possible do all my shopping on East Gristead every Saturday, even though I live closer to Tunbridge Wells because I love shopping in specialists independent retail outlets for exactly the same reason as you delivered today.
Service, subject knowledge and open and honest no nonsense advice and guidance. Impressive in every regard and all served up with such speed and attention. I don?t think five stars are enough but I?m looking forward to joining the tennis club in Cowden to give the new grip on the racket you serviced some stick. Thank you Stuart & Herbert Sports. Great service. Great value and great team delivering great products.

Couldn't have been nicer and more helpful when we needed a pair of hockey astros last-minute.

Great training shoes sales here on occasion. Only place in EG I could get coloured ping pong balls for my cat as well oddly too. Staff very knowledgeable of their stock. Seem to know their stuff on numerous sports. Order service from instore also. Nice old fashioned great service. Bought my most favourite ever baseball bat here years ago. Still got it. I've been going in here for sports stuff since my secondary school days at Sackville school. Back to the mid to late seventies.

Bought football boots and a rain jacket for my son, price for the boots was pretty much the same as Amazon. Rain jacket was too small, Herbert's Sports let me exchange for a larger one even though I had lost the receipt and had cut the tag off (still had the tag). Very happy so will go to Herbert's for all sporting needs now.

Nice service and convenient, but range is small and prices are higher. Buy here often to support the high street

I think it's pretty rare to see an independent sport shop on any high street these days. I believe Herbert Sports continues to thrive as they have fantastic, knowledgeable staff, offer great service and competitive prices. I popped in recently to pick up some KT Tape. When I arrived I realised I'd forgotten my mask and couldn't go inside. The staff were brilliant, I stood outside while they got the tape for me and brought it outside.

At the start of January I needed a pair of good quality exercise leggings for my daughter's birthday. Craig from Herbert Sports was superb- he responded to my contact email very promptly, rang at the time agreed and then demonstrated immense patience as I "ummed and aahed" over which pair to choose. Craig took the time to send photos to further help with my deliberation ( I was unable to visualise the goods) but the cherry on top was him delivering them to my door, free of charge, whilst respecting social distancing rules. I would absolutely recommend HS as a competitively priced, local company whose customer service was totally first class. Thank you so much, my daughter was delighted!

Fantastic service whilst in lockdown. 3 times I needed various sports equipment and not being able to get to the shops I was stuck. Herbert sports in East Grinstead were brilliant. Tennis balls, cricket balls, weights, sports clothing and more all available immediately and delivered direct to my door on the same day. I cannot have asked for a better serviceThank you
