“Bought the Cadac Carri Chef 2. Was paid on a 6th August which was a Friday and wasn’t even dispatched until the 14th. Paid £15.00 postage for it to take almost two weeks to arrive! Definitely not happy and will not shop here again or recommend to anyone.”

Hi Duncan Thanks for the review. Just to clarify your order was placed at 23.00 on Friday the 6th and you paid the £15 Saturday delivery charge, possibly expecting it to arrive in the following hours. At the time we required orders to be placed by Midday for delivery the following day. As your order was placed after Midday then as you paid a Saturday surcharge your order was moved over for delivery on the following Saturday. If you would like to contact our customer service department then they will look into refunding the Saturday delivery surcharge. Kind Regards

“They had a misleading photo on the website showing the inclusion of a flat griddle. We realise in hindsight that the flat griddle was not included and that I should have read the technical specifications. However, we were left feeling misled by the inclusion of that photo on the website and when we discussed this with BBQ World, there seemed little sympathy in resolving our mistaken purchase. Yes, I wasn't careful enough when I ordered but I'd say be very careful when ordering.”

“An awful experience and, in our view, customer service was poor. We could not get our Char-Broil adaptor to fit a gas bottle and, whilst we accept that this was partly a misunderstanding on our part, and bad description in the Char-Broil instructions, we feel that Dawson's/BBQ World did not show any form of concern at how long this problem persisted. It is disappointing that they describe themselves as a British Family Business yet seem to have little or no consideration or empathy towards their customers. Very disappointed. Numerous communications with them went on for over 2 months before the issue was resolved. Only time will tell how good the adaptor for the gas bottle is. This design is different from the standard gas bottle adaptor you buy and even though we now know how to fit it, it is extremely fiddly. To be fair to Dawsons, they did offer us the opportunity to return the adaptor but, as we pointed out to them on several occasions, the part of importance, which was the end that fits into the BBQ, was fine and it was the adaptor that goes onto the gas bottle that was causing the issues, so we needed to keep the attachment but have the gas bottle adaptor replaced. They were aware that we were having to cancel arranged BBQ's due to not being able to attach the adaptor. Most certainly would not recommend Dawsons on our experiences. This has taken an awful lot of our valuable time and no apology or acceptance of the problems they caused has been forthcoming.”

“This is a repeat/follow up to a review posted to BBQ World's parent company Dawson's Department Store on Trustpilot. In their response to my review they tried to discredit me by calling me abusive. If their definition of abusive is someone who raised their voice after being called a liar I can only imagine they must have multiple incidents daily. To cut a long story short - two identical items were charged for sent to me in error. It appears that the order went through twice (clearly without my knowledge) I can only imagine this happened through an auto refresh in Chrome. Nevertheless this isn't 2005 and there are now failsafes employed to prevent duplicate orders such as this one. No email confirmation was received for this phantom order - if it was I would clearly have cancelled immediately. I phoned them on receipt of the items. They do not believe in the adage 'the customer is always right' at this company. Nor do they agree with giving the benefit of the doubt. If this were my company I would have immediately spoken to Technology to understand how this happened and how to prevent it occurring in the future. No such action was proposed. Their unwavering view was that I was in the wrong for placing two orders and I would be responsible for the return (at my cost) There was no manual sense checking or consolidation after order receipt and both packages were received in poor condition. I have now taken an hour out of my day to take the duplicate to a post office and paid £13.40 for a tracked and signed for return - for an item that cost £86. I'm relieved that I didn't purchase a higher ticket item - as I was originally planning. Interestingly I chose this company due to its reviews even though the price was slightly higher than the completion. I have requested the contact details for or a call from the CEO/MD on multiple occasions. Emails go unanswered. I fully anticipate another defamatory response from the company. The reader can make their own judgement. My advice is clear - order from a competitor and save yourself the stress and gaslighting that will result from any issues.”

“I bought a Buschbeck bbq cover which the zip has broken obviously due to poor quality, but when I called to complain I was referred to the manufacturer who was not interested and spent £85 on a cover which is no better than a dustbin bag”

“Very disappointing. The item was delivered late. It meant that I had to take 2 days off work. Expensive. And it was delivered smashed to pieces. In fairness, the fault lay with the delivery company (Palletways) and a replacement arrived quite quickly - although I did have to take another day off work. The original smashed item remains in my living room. It`s large, very heavy and unsightly. It`s been there for two weeks now. My wife is not very happy. Nor am I. Goodness knows when it will be removed. When it is - I will have to take yet another day off work. And to add insult to injury, I discovered a few days after delivery of the BBQ that some pellets I had ordered were not present. When I raised this - I received a rather unpleasant e mail implying that I was trying it on. I used this company because I thought there were reputable and reliable. Sadly, that did not prove to nbe the case.”

“My BBQ was delivered when we were out. On first inspection the box/packaging looked to be ok. However after opening and on closer inspection the cast iron grid for the BBQ was broken and the Thermometer was damaged. Must have been damaged in transit. Very disappointing. Was really looking for to using my new BBQ but left deflated with the poor service of this company. No response after contact attempts. Shop elsewhere.”

“Ordered a Webber bbq costing £220 should have had a thermometer built in to the lid of bbq but it was missing. I’m trying to get this solved but customer service have said they need to go back to Webber rather than just sending out a new one? Not sure if I’ll ever receive it. Quite disappointed with the whole thing.”

“The website indicated that stock of the Everdure Furnace was available so I placed an order. I didn’t receive a delivery confirmation so I chased up after 4 days to be told it would be at least 1 month. There is no excuse for a website to have incorrect stock information these days. I have emailed and called, still waiting for a refund. I would not recommend ordering via this company.”
