Cozy, Helpful Staff.

Cozy, but not to it's detriment, this shop contains practically everything you could require for cooking from a beginner to pro level.

Pricy, but you get a first-hand look and feel for equipment you'd ordinarily have to go quite far to look at.

The lady on front was helpful, friendly and was willing to help in selection, even offering to remove knives from the case for inspection.

I can't say this much for other members of staff present, immediately talking to me like some amateur who wandered in from the streets, proceeding to insist I choose certain items due to "their ease for beginners" insisting she was a chef (and therfore knew best?)... I tried to stay out the way from there really.

Curious, I asked how long she'd been at the store, to which she seeemed offended at the inquiry.

A slightly funny encounter, but overall, a brilliant shop.

Excellent personal service

Chris was very helpful and patient as I worked through many options. He gave advice and offered several options at different price points. It was real personal service, that you can only get from an independent retailer these days. Everything arrived well packaged and quicker than I expected. I'm only sorry the shop is so far away from where I live.

Helpful on every level.

Everyone was super helpful with my international order, my payment issues and then held my order until I could arrive to pick it up. Couldn’t have been better.

Exceptional customer service

I received the incorrect mug initially, but the customer service I received to put this right was exceptional, sorted out really quickly and Susan was extremely helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.

Helpful staff. Unusual items. Great experience.

I ordered an item online. It was available to collect the next day. When I arrived at the shop the item was waiting for me on the counter. The assistant was very helpful and showed me other items in the range. I had an excellent shopping experience. Thank you.

support local businesses

I bought a coffee pot from Kooks a few weeks ago. Inexplicably the glass cracked but Kooks replaced it without question and, inevitably, I'd lost the receipt!
Fantastic service and greatly appreciated - it might be easier to order from Amazon but do think twice and make sure that great local businesses like them continue to thrive.

Glad I found you

I have used SKK pans for years but it has become increasingly difficult to find them stocked anywhere. I recently bought a new SKK saute pan from Kooks and was very pleased with both the service and my purchase . Thank you Kooks

The corner chopped off after 1 day of barely using it

Purchased this as a gift; one day of being barely in use (I mean no agressive chopping or anything, it was not even moved around the kitchen) and the corner has already chopped off unfortunately.
Update: Kooks Unlimited reached out and suggested a mutually satisfactory solution.

Good morning, Marija,

Thank you for sending the image of the board.

We sincerely apologies that the product has not met your expectations. If you had contacted us directly, we could have resolved the issue since we believe you purchased the board in November. We do not wish to disappoint our customers. We are currently in contact with the manufacturer to address the problem. We will keep you updated on the progress.

Please understand that we are extremely busy this week, and it may take longer than usual to respond. We appreciate your patience.

Best wishes,
Chris

UPDATE:
Good morning Marija

The manufacturer Grunwerg should be in contact with you soon.

Please double check in junk mail as well.

Many Thanks
Chris
