Woodstock Cricket Co Reviews 102

Their bats just don't last. Spending £400 you don't expect something to break after 10 games. Their "repair" of a dowel through the handle lasted as long as one might expect, i.e. about 1 ball. According to the lovely Jonno, this is because you're rubbish at cricket and "using it wrong".
Stay. Well. Clear.

Order not delivered. Company not replying to emails or answering phone. This is since August.

Ordered some kit for my son in December 2023. It never arrived and was initially updated that there was difficulty in the shipping of the kit from overseas. After a few months all further emails asking for updates ignored to date. I see on these reviews that I'm not the only one so order at your risk! They will be more than happy to take your money though.

Ordered clothes in January from Canada. After confirming the order via email so far all emails and two voicemails ignored. Totally ghosted.

Not the easiest place to get to and not the easiest to get an appointment but when you do it is well worth it. Very knowledgeable, helpful and patient. Most of all the kit is top, top notch!

Fantastic customer care, brilliant kit and all round top service. A first class experience with brilliant products ran by great people!!

Great products, great service and speed of delivery first rate. The craftsmanship and skill that goes into making such high quality Cricket equipment is second to none. Great value too given the quality of their bats, pads and stylish clothing. Woodstock is a class above!

Class bats used them for years. Johnno’s a great bloke trying to change the industry for the better.

Woodstock are a fantastic nationwide cricket bat and teamwear provider. We are a club of over 100 members, use Woodstock for teamwear and a number of our players use their batting equipment and we are delighted with the quality of the products. Johnno and his team do a brilliant job in ensuring that the products are right for our players and we are so happy to be supporting a local business trying to do right for the cricket community.

Their initiatives for the 2024 season going forward being able to pay over 12 months, and supporting outstanding charitable causes through the purchase of their equipment is pioneering and should lead the way for other cricket equipment providers to enable this to the game.

Cricket is often seen as an elitist sport and Woodstock are actively trying to change this for the better of our game in this country. As Head of Cricket at Farnsfield, I am proud to be partnering with a great local business like Woodstock and look forward to our partnership growing in the years to come.

Been with Woodstock now for 4 years and the service and customer service has been top class, very personal service and a great selection of equipment to choose from. Highly recommended

I have purchased a number of items from Woodstock over the last few years, mostly a bat and several pairs of gloves. The bat is the best blade I have ever wielded. Before buying it, my batting average was 18.16. Now it's 42.39!

The gloves I have bought have been exceptionally high quality and comfortable, offering the perfect mix of protection, flexibility and grip. As long as they keep producing them, I'll keep buying them!

Always a great company to work with. Woodstock have provided our teamwear for a couple of years and it is excellent and I’ve been using the bats, as well as a full kit bag, for about 10 years. Great quality and fair pricing!

Disappointed is an understatement.
When John Newsome ran the company it was one you could trust....not now.
Sent a bat back for refurb, got it back several months later after numerous attempts to contact them with no response and then finding out they had lost it. They needlessly shaved a lot of wood off the toe without asking. First use after refurb the bat has broken. AVOID THIS SHOWER!!!!

Great quality and great service. delivered as expected

Woodstock couldn’t care less about customers. Rarely acknowledge attempts to contact them and blame circumstances outside of their control for outrageously long lead times (talking 6months or so). Happy to take your money but not happy to provide a product. Poor.

Bought a cricket bag in the last of June. It is now August and I have had not bag, no correspondence.
I have mailed and called with no response. This is terrible customer service. DO NOT USE

Bat used for few times at the end of last season, then put away in the bag for the winter. Broke in the nets the first time it was used for the new season. poor workmanship and hid behind the 6 months warranty. Basically called me a liar and then proceeded to gaslight me. Avoid if you don’t want to lose £400. It’s a kids so not exactly hitting the ball hard. I was talked into buying it after johnno said hand made bats dont break like machine made ones. But that clearly isn’t the case, look at the photo. Had it ten months altogether so clearly not made to last. A machine bat has never broke before on me. Very rude, patronising and condescending. Check out the reviews on google, very bad company. Look at my profile pic at the bat

My old woodstock was seemingly on its last legs. Still an ace middle but the toe was, well, a bit buggered.
I got in touch with Jonno to ask if it could be saved. He and the team got the bat looking like a completely new bit of wood and given something a second life. New stickers and all.
Great service.
Look forward to using it in the nets next week

The Woodstock gear is fantastic! It all started with the process of selecting the bat where Johnno talked us through what to look for and selecting a bat that suited my playing style. He focused on providing a valuable service that meant I ended up with the best bat I've ever used. Half the team I play for now has bats from Woodstock that they love. Great gear, great service.

A combination of top of the range equipment and first class service. Could not recommend Woodstock and more highly.
