Report
I'd made the mistake of going to Specsavers and felt like I was on a hasty conveyor belt from front door to eye test to glasses salesman. I then did some research before getting my eyes tested at Bramley Pope and they were way better - friendly, proper testing, time to answer questions, etc. Highly recommended independent local business.

The staff are very attentive; my prescription was well adjusted and I was spoilt for choice by the range of stylish frames which were then nicely fitted. Very pleased.

I've been nothing but impressed with the brilliant, informed and friendly service I've had at Bramley Pope, from the helpful conversations on the phone, to having my glasses fitted in-store. I highly recommend and will be bringing my young daughter when she needs new glasses. Thank you!

I arrived at this practice when unexpectedly I lost a screw out of my glasses in the street where they are situated, many years ago. I was so impressed by their attitude I used them that year for my eye test. I have been their customer ever since. They are excellent and you get expert service, they recognise you if you call in unexpectedly, nothing would persuade me to change. They are efficient and go far beyond the standard you would expert.

Just had my sight test during lockdown 2021 - excellent safety measures taken by the team at Bramley Pope. I've been a customer for almost 20 years and the services provided are always excellent. The team are all extremely helpful and professional. You can trust Mark to let you know what does or doesnt suit your face (I love that honesty) plus hell help you chose the perfect glasses -there is a great range of frames in store. Highly recommend, I'm so happy that this fantastic business is open.
