Anchor Supplies Ltd (Ripley)

This shop is always worth popping in to.

There is normally a bargain to be had.

You never know what you are going to find. All products are at a value and quality. There are old British military clothing right up to modern militaria.

Ample parking.

they seem to advertise more on their website then in store.

The store isn't well signposted.

I don't always find what I want, due to the quantity of products.

The staff are friendly.

If you are into militaria, then this is the store for you.

Great place to shop or visit! Very helpful but not in your face staff, so you can just wander and browse or ask for help and nothing is too much trouble!
I've been going here for decades and would highly recommend.

I decided to take my Young boy there upon arrival the gate was open but closed then somebody thought it would be funny to lock the gates from the outside while we were still inside did not find it funny whatsoever neither did my 11-year-old son, reported it the next day wasn’t interested very poor attitude from management.

Had a good experience at Anchor supplies. Staff were friendly and helpful with a wide knowledge of the items they sell. Definitely go back. And will pass on my experience with friends.

I purchased a pair of combat trousers but returned them because they were much too long and the front pockets were only deep enough to get less than half my hand in which I believed to be either faulty or badly designed. I wanted my money refunded but they would only offer a credit note. Now I do shop there but not weekly and being a pensioner I wanted the money now but they would not budge.
However the kindest gentleman in the queue behind me gave me £20 and took my £18 credit note and told me to keep it. What a great kind man if only the two females behind the counter were more kind and understanding. In fact one of the female s behind the counter said out load WHAT A KIND GESTURE. yes it was wasn’t it

Brilliant range of high quality used and new army supplies. Good variety of GoreTex outerwear. Very fair prices.

Big military surplus shop with lots of second hand UK military, as well as emergency services, uniform. Also large selection of used parade shoes and boots. There's a selection of tools and hardware items, both new and used.

Loved it! So much cool stuff, new and used, all in decent condition! Reasonable prices too.

However, no surplus nukes so really only a 4.5 out of 5 for that 😁
