Millets - Hastings Reviews 

Phil at Millets Hastings was knowledgeable and very helpful when we visited to get my daughters D of E final bits yesterday. Gave us great advice. Thanks

We went in to Millets in Hastings yesterday for some items for my daughters D of E. We needed a rucksack and drinks bottles. Phil and Lucy were absolutely brilliant. I am the same size as my daughter so they showed me how to put the rucksack on and tighten all the various bits. Great with advice and super helpful! I would definitely go back!

Harry and the team were very knowledgeable and helpful

I wanted to buy Nikwax which is expensive. The salesman advised me of the 'Spend and get'scheme which reduced the total price of the Nikwax.

Website stated it was in stock for click & collect. Went into shop told me it never was in stock and had to be ordered in, had to wait three days for some fishing bait that I needed urgently to come to my local store
Would not buy from again

Phil made it very easy and clear for me. His experience helped answer all my questions and made it easy for me to buy the right gear.

What fantastic service and knowledge! As we are new to walking and trekking, we went to Millets for a look at walking boots. What we came out with was a lot more knowledge, understanding, and a great pair of walking shoes and socks....who knew the importance of the right socks! The assistant Phil was wonderful, he took his time, asked us the questions he needed to make his recommendation. I cannot recommend Phil enough for anyone who is purchasing shoes or boots. He is an expert in his field and we will no longer be visiting any other shops...there is no need!

Easy to order on line and use ‘click & collect. Order confirmed and advised of time scale for collection.

Took my daughter into Millets in Hastings after school to get her kitted out with boots for her DofE, and we genuinely had no idea where to start.

Phil stepped in and made the whole process easy. He carefully measured her feet (and double checked to be sure), talked us through the different options, and gave her some really useful advice on how to lace and wear the boots properly – which will make a big difference once she’s out walking.

Great service, friendly approach, and you can tell he knows his stuff.

Would definitely recommend Millets in Hastings for anyone needing outdoor gear – especially when Phil and his team are in.👍🏼

I was looking for a good but not too expensive pair of walking boots & asked Ethan for some help. He was knowledgeable about the products & honest with his recommendations. I found the perfect pair for my trip up Ben Nevis & also got a very comfortable pair of hiking trousers. Ethan was brilliant from start to finish & I couldn’t be happier with my purchases.

I found what I was looking for and Harry was an excellent salesman: polite, friendly and knowledgeable. He is a credit to the store.

Big thankyou to Ethan. At first I wasn’t sure what I was looking for but he assisted and explained everything making it an easy choice. Lovely to have someone who knows what they’re talking about advise on the sale. Deserves a raise. Thankyou :)

I love my local branch of Millets in Hastings and I also bought 2 yellow peter storm jackets online as they are light and perfect for spring!

Well knowledgeable staff, very helpful, good experience

We visited as I was looking for some new dog walking boots.
Harry was super informative and knew which makes / materials suited my needs best, and, despite being very particular with shoes, I found my perfect boots on first try!

I needed some walking boots, so visited your store in Hastings. After looking at the selection for a while, Harry came over and asked if I needed any assistance. I said I did, and he gave good impartial advice and helped me choose the the pair I bought. Which are great!

We had such a fantastic experience shopping for our hiking gear thanks to Phil and Harry. From the moment we walked in, they were friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They really took the time to understand what each of us needed, making sure both the boots and backpacks were the perfect fit for our upcoming hikes.

What stood out most was how attentive they were as a team—no rushing, no pressure, just genuine care to get everything right. They explained the differences between options clearly and made sure we were comfortable and confident in our choices.

Thanks to them, me and my family feel fully prepared (and excited!) for our hiking adventures. Brilliant service from start to finish—Phil and Harry are a real credit to the store. Highly recommend!

I came looking for some everyday walking boots and could not be more happy with the professional service provided by Phil. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. I got proper measurements and checks that no other shop or person ever provided. I am really happy with the boots I left with.

Thank you!

Brilliant to deal with, Staff at my local Millets are friendly and helpful, wish all companies were like this.

Phil was probably the most helpful and informative salesman I have ever come across, when I went to buy a pair of walking boots today. He must have given me nearly an hour of his time, making sure that the boots suited my requirements & were a good fit. It is unusual to find someone who really knows so much about what he is selling and who is prepared to give the time to share his expertise. Thank you, Phil!
