Reviews of Dobbies Garden Centre Liverpool

D. a. J. P.

We have visited Dobbies a lot over the years. 1. The cafe ... the fresh cream scones have always been a hit. Soft, tasty and huge with strawberry jam. Friendly staff. Prices are a little steep for some items. Breakfast is beautiful tasty and plentiful. Good value for money. Toilets are clean and accessible. 2. The shop has a range of items. Especially good for Christmas decorations, gifts and cards. 3. Santa's grotto I didn't go this year but previous years experience was smashing. Lovely decorations, nice Santa and a good gift. Parking is plentiful with accessible parking next to entrance.

Visited the Speke branch today for afternoon tea and it was absolutely lovely. I had the vegan Afternoon tea and couldn't believe how much there was for one person and the selection. My friends had the regular one. It was all so nice and the service from Lois was fabulous. To top it all off Tony from the plant section highlighted the free wooden crates and then helped me and my friend take them to the car. Fabulous food, lovely staff. Would definitely go again.

K. M.

Enjoyed the vegan afternoon tea, tasty sandwiches, I particularly liked the curried filling - but deducted a star as the bread was too thick for me. Staff attentive and friendly. Excellent value. Yet again forgot to take a photo!

m. s.

Great place to go for the day. Food was nice, staff where great. Play area for the kids was small but you can keep an eye on them while you eat very easily. Butcher was well worth going to see, amazing selection of goods, all top quality. As for the garden section, there is a huge selection of all types of items, really will have whatever you want. Would 100% recommend.

A. H.

A wide variety of products with some very nice food items. High quality garden instruments and a very good selection of plants and shrubs.

A. M.

My daughter took me here first time for afternoon tea.. Wow and Wow. Definitely worth going 10/10. We have booked again for my birthday in a few weeks can't wait x

S. 1.

Good selection of wares. Bought 20 bags of peat free top soil which I had to carry to my vehicle 1 at a time as I'd forgotten to bring a £1 coin for the trolley. Can't mark them down for that as I should have been more prepared.

D. L.

Absolutely love this shop,I can get so many things here from plants to groceries, it has a cafe that sells the most delicious cream scones etc. It is also dog friendly so you can take your pooch shopping with you, if you haven't been to this store your missing out I highly recommend this shop

J. “. P.

I loved the bonsai tree in vivarium. A birthday present for my son. Good advice from staff about care and watering.

J. W.

The store stocks a wide variety of items from garden items to a good butchers, various food items, clothing , books etc. Plus a lovely restaurant with a separate section for afternoon teas

G. C.

Dobbies improves all the time and is now the go to place for Christmas shopping with an extensive range of practical and luxury products as well as the established gardening centre and food hall. The child friendly restaurant offers great, good value food.

m. w.

Had a look around the shop it was well set out stopped for a cuppa in the cafe it was lovely & clean & the staff were friendly & very helpful

A. C.

4 stars for overall shopping experience 2 stars for the cafe. Awful jacket potatoes..wasn't that hot and seemed a bit watery texture on the inside. Ordered the chilli beef one. Kids chips cold ..would not go back to eat.

j. n.

Just had a visit to Dobbies, wide aisles and plenty of variety from of course plants,bulbs etc.... to garden tools In house butcher and other food products Café with a selection of food to choose from, friendly staff Not cheap but worth it.

T. W.

Top class well layed out store staff freindly and smart dressed pleasant expetriance had by all.will be back.

P. I.

Disappointed with restaurant. Had no gluten free bread/rolls as advertised on counter top. Apparently non left... Therefore very limited for choice. Was really looking forward to Christmas sandwich as couldn't have all items for Christmas dinner. No pigs in blankets, no stuffing and no gravy... Therefore very bland....

W. S.

Coffee for me and wife and soft play for granddaughter

g. r.

Visited today. Not one decent thing to buy. Toilet stank of stale urine. Wont be visiting again. Its really gone downhill

d. h.

Enjoyed seeing a good friend in Nice surroundings. Nice shop,expensive food ,never enough staff but all helpful Pet man lovely🐟🐠🐡☕🍲

L. W.

Over priced garden centre even with 20% off everything offer for Jubilee weekend. Had lunch here today with daughter and grandchildren. Yet again as on last visit, 2 cold jacket potatoes with tuna. Sent back and only reasonably warm second time. Not best quality food. Lack of staff in restaurant. Long queue as only one till open. Have club card but wont bother renewing next year. Feel it unfair if you cant visit monthly for 2" free "hot drinks to vanish off your card. Why is slide in play area cordoned off?

K.

We used the party room today really nice space for kids and was clean. Staff really nice helpful and polite

P. L.

A bit chaotic in restaurant ,need more staff ,other than that we love the place.Great play area for the children

C. D.

Relaxing and enjoyable shopping. Has a small Sainsburys in the Deli section too which comes in handy when you need to pick something up and can't be doing with going to a supermarket. Plants are great, bit pricey but you get what you pay for, good quality and well cared for. Great for picking up a nice gift too. Staff are always helpful and really friendly.

D. K.

Lovely early morning shopping in Dobbies. Christmas items and food gifts are exceptional. Real commitment to plastic free packaging too.

J. S.

Good shop, good food court too. Staff are friendly and happy to help. Update 2022: It looks like the cups have been replaced and updated, getting rid of the older tired looking ones👍🏼. Sainsburys has taken over the food shopping part. The Butchers has stayed the same.

S.

A good selection of plants and other garden accessories, with the now typical variety of clothing and other household items, kids toys & books and lots of other things. Biggest let down is the price of food and drinks, very expensive with cakes well over £2 a slice and snacks i.e. small Kit Kat £1.00 and they used to have a hot water facility to fill tea pots to sort your own tea, now you have to join sometimes very long queues were staff seem to take forever to make the various coffees, lattes etc. If we go to the restaurant and there's a queue, we don't bother, chance that hot food will go cold, this needs sorting, just get the hot water back on for those who just want tea!! Joining the Dobbies club has great benefits 2 teas per month plus two cakes with two teas on your birthday, so teas themselves covers the cost of the club card.

J. A. W.

Slightly more expensive than other garden centres. Well laid out well stocked.

C. C.

Love going here. We have their loyalty card and enjoy coffee every month and it's a lovely shop to wander around and browse. I've bought really nice gifts for family members.

L. N.

Lovely selection of plants and seeds. Staff were great too. Restaurant bit pricey but, you can't have everything.

W. J.

They should call it Sainsbury's now, as its nearly all Sainsbury's stuff it sells. Out doors is more Dobbies as I remember

C. T.

This is an excellent centre to browse for gifts seldom seen elsewhere and for garden plants/pots/tools etc. Have always found toilet facilities pleasantly clean. Though the cafe offers a fantastic meeting place facility (often meet here for lunch with friends) the method of ordering food, paying and receiving food ordered has not changed in years and is so frustrating for the customer. Confusion of how to queue for Sandwich v hot food v just a drink means folk waiting in the main queue to order are challenged by others who "only want...." and not hot food or sandwich; too long a wait in queue to order food/drink; sometimes half hour wait or more for hot food (this place is not a restaurant with many items/courses being offered on the menu); staff doing their best!! This facility is in desperate need of reorganising- long overdue. It was bad before and has not improved since the lockdown.

H. M.

Good but a bit pricey 😊 got amazing sinks in the toilet (don't ask 😂)

M. B.

Lovely cafe. Great selection of plants. Easy parking. What's not to like!

B. S.

Allways have a leisurely walk round and a bite to eat in the cafe, very reasonable prices and nearly all ways come away with a purchase. Staff are brilliant!!

S. V.

Interesting choice of products. Good food, nice staff

B. B.

Great combination of restaurant, garden centre and gift shop. Staff always helpful. Large outdoor area with plants, shrubs, containers and all things gardeny!

M. D.

Love visiting Dobbies especially at Christmas. Plants are always of a high quality and I am a member so l love the free drinks each month and the birthday surprise. Staff really helpful and friendly

k. L.

Went to get a bbq but I would have needed a 500 quid overdraft so decided to get a 2 quid disposable instead. Some nice stuff in thete but typical garden centre where everything is overpriced and expensive, just cheaper to go to B&Q instead

T. W.

Had lovely afternoon tea for my mums birthday today. Despite the fact they were short staffed and rushed off their feet service was great by the two girls who looked after us. Have been a few times for afternoon tea and quality and service is always consistently good. Well done Dobbies.

R. D.

We went into the Speke store today looking for a garden parasol.A member of staff named Jayne approached us asking what we were looking for .She went out of her way to show what colours and designs were in stock.At no time did we feel pressured and her commitment to her job was inspiring. She opened two parasols so we could have a look at each type and we finally bought an apricot coloured one.Many thanks for your commitment Jayne,you're a credit to Dobbies in Speke . Many Thanks ,Rob and Barbara Dobie. Rob and Barbara,Dobie

J. B.

A fantastic garden centre with a wide range of products And a lovely restaurant it now includes a Sainsbury's with in the shop also it's only a short ride to speak hall with it's magnificent house and gardens And as a great viewing point so you can see the planes Landing and taking of at speak airport

B. H.

It would have been more enjoyable, had I been able to spend more money, but due to lack of electric immobility scooters I was only able to stay about an hour, wheelchairs only allow 1 family member to really browse and spend cash, because the other is pushing.

S. S.

Resteraunt seems to be getting worse. Food is nice but the sometimes lack of cutlery, teapots etc is not good. My milk jug was dirty as was my friends

G. T.

Nice spacious garden centre, excellent restaurant and more...

A.

could spend aaaallllllll day in this place.. heaven!

R. H.

Good selection of quality plants. The staff are letting it down... on this visit, two staff members were moaning about their manager openly and at length while watering flowers. There was also only one woman serving, despite there being a massive queue and loads of people working on the shop floor.

G. S.

Just used restaurant today ,very clean following all the guidelines would call in again.

A. O.

Enjoyed a delicious and plentiful afternoon tea for my birthday treat. Extra pot of tea included in the very reasonable price. Especially liked the childrens afternoon tea and my 2 year old great niece was very impressed and eat every morsel which was no mean feat! Would be ideal for a childrens tea party as well. Good service, plentiful food, nicely presented and at a reasonable price. Will definitely go again.

B.

Friendly staff, the afternoon tea was great but refills could have been more readily available

D. U.

Want looking for pre lit Christmas tree unfortunately stock has not yet arrived in So finished up in lovely restaurant having a meal

g. t.

Good sale on Xmas decorations. Breakfast good too.

l.

Very large store and garden centre, only 4 stars cos it's a bit pricy

s. l.

Excellent customer service by John & Big Guy who helped load garden furniture. !!!! Really pleasant experience. Will definitely be back. Felt very safe & everyone observing the appropriate social distance & courtesy.

a. h.

Just love this place as it always brings a smile to my face. This place is always upto date with what season we are in and youbcan already feel the Christmas spirt starting here. Lots of Christmas decorations and ornaments already and they have started the work on the Christmas grotto which looks good now. Feel its going to great once the grotto is open. Make sure you visit here you will mot be disappointed.

n. w.

Helpful staff and a fantastic range of plants, flowers and saplings (fruit tree) the only down side is that is can be expensive at times but if your really interested in gardening and landscaping then it's a great place to go

l. h.

Took my mum and mum-in-law for a wander around today and had lunch too! We were surprised by the size and selection of items for sale. The food was lovely and staff were excellent, especially Carly in the restaurant and the lads in the butchery department. They were so helpful, a rare commodity nowadays. Thank you all and see you again soon.

J. W.

We visited the cafe today for breakfast and found that by the time you have got your breakfast, queued for drinks and queued to pay the food is stone cold !!! No plate covers to give out. And even the clear tables needed cleaning. I dont blame the staff as they we friendly and helpful and the food was really nice. Maybe invest in plate covers and more staff. Only one till open 6 customers in queue !!

J. C.

Took the baby to see Santa at the Grotto. The Staff all done a fantastic job, made me and my little girl feel so welcome. The price you pay for the service was spot on. 2nd time I've been and will continue to come here to see Santa. Good work all the staff at Dobbies 👍

c. s.

A bit disappointed, went to get a mushroom starter kit, which was advertised on there site as in stock, but when I got there NO starter kits in stock. Why advertise that you have the item and you don't. Very Disappointed.

R. S.

Not the Dobbies of old. However they do make the effort and I love the fact that they change the decor with the different seasons. Makes it an afternoon out. The queue was just far too long earlier. Needed more staff to cope with the demand . We were all a little impatient.

M. C.

Had a superb mid week lunch here. Served quickly and politely. Food was excellent and although slightly on the high side of pricing, the comfort of the restaurant made up for it. The store itself has a good quality range of unique homeware and is well presented. Parking is generous with a car wash facility near the entrance

G. J.

just went yesterday 22/11.setting up grotto and a roundabout for the kids. £2.50.a ride.

N. B.

I'm amazed it was open but not all departments unfortunately due to the current lockdown. No cafe or clothing but happy the food section was open - tea sorted for tomorrow. Great Xmas section, as per usual from Dobbies.

G. G.

Lovely service at the cafe, despite limited options due to the kitchen being closed. Cake and coffee were lovely.

N. R.

Lovely for having a mooch about, shop area is well overpriced however the restaurant is ok. Lots of choice, lunches are lovely however breakfasts are slow, with beaning a hot drink is very slow always no with the paying process.. by the time you you reach your table your breakfast is barely warm. Could do with quicker process.

C. W.

not one of the best, not how I remember dobbies, lots of empty spaces where plants should be. some plants look like they needed some tlc. lots of other items for sale, clothes, kitchen gadgets and food for sale. Cafe was open and the scones were lovely.

B. E.

A great place to visit for all your gardening needs. Prices can be higher than the larger diy stores so I'd recommend signing up to the Dobbies loyalty card scheme which gives an instant discount off many items at the till (no having to collect points, etc). There's a restaurant, which is nearly always busy though.

J. L.

Nice garden centre with a great variety of plants and accessories for the garden and home. Restaurant has a good selection of food at reasonable prices, however, service today was very slow. Will be thinking twice before returning for lunch again.

L. F.

Just live coming here. Great butchers and deli. Wonderful service and assistance with gardening questions. Made up beautiful pots for my new garden. Joined membership....well worth it....just had my first free drink!

A. x.

Nice variety of plants and various home goods large parking area and a cafe and kids play area. The Christmas grotto was lovely and bright.

l. h.

Expensive but has a good variety of plants and garden stuff, it also has a very good selection of indoor plants

L. M.

Very well organised but a few plants look like they should be better kept. The cafe is well designed and has some good selections. It seems inspired by Bents garden centre near Leigh. The cheese scones are awesome.

l. g.

Sorry Dobby's this isn't going to be a happy review. I was excited to visit your store but left disappointed. Mainly due to the condition of the stock outside , boxes left to the weather , falling to pieces, dead plant's that had been left there for some time. Lack of choice for everyday essential items like plant supports. I'm a keen gardener and I think a garden centre should sell things for garden's not candles and nicnacs. I hope that the comments left by us the public are taken note of and maybe things improve.

B.

It is okay but miles below the standard of Southport dobbies. Some plants on the brink of death on sale for 80 quid.

P. B.

Bulbs misleading priced,you thought you were buying 3 for 2 but when you got to the till surprise ,surprise that offer didn't apply. Cafe ok but very busy with lost of children s parties,nursery groups etc,not a place for a peaceful cup of tea. Food counters very good and reasonable prices,outdoor plants good range if just a little overpriced.Aquatic department pricey with dead fish on display and no staff to help,I tried to get help from a member of outdoor staff but they said not their department and some one would be back soon,Waited too long then tried to buy my bulbs to no avail. Cakes from counter good though as was lady on checkout (only 1 till open though)

F. M.

Great coffee and service nice food has different stuff the normal places.

m. t.

It is a very nice garden centre to visit. The staff are always very pleasant and helpful and always ready to help if you require it. The restaurant is very nice and food very good.

P. D.

Family met for afternoon tea before the co vid breakout. Had a lovely day staff were very good chatty, smiling, nothing too much for them. Look forward to be able to to it again.

S. V.

Plenty of choice of plants post covid, reasonable price, staff are friendly & helpful..indoor food shop fair price& meat stall reasonable

B. L.

Had afternoon tea, luxury style, at Dobbies this afternoon and were served by Natalie, who was absolutely lovely and made the event really enjoyable. Afternoon tea should be a treat and it certainly was! Delicious sandwiches, very tasty, especially the cream cheese and salmon, with crisp little savouries followed by lemon mousse, cakes and, best of all, scones with jam and clotted cream. We have had afternoon tea at Valerie's Patisserie and at the Liverpool Hilton but Dobbies was by far the best! Thank you Natalie!

M. D.

Great store Dobbies, very good garden centre and butchers 2 free coffees per month.👍

p. n.

Quality but expensive, can buy plant's cheaper at other outlets but not the extensive range Dobbies have, keep your eyes open for people selling from the front of there homes a lot cheaper and sometimes plant's you have never heard of.

M. V.

Great place to visit, clean and friendly staff, great variety of household, garden and gifts, restaurants clean and food was lovely

M. C.

Restaurant was extremely poor today. Waited a long time for hot drinks by the time the 4th drink was ready 1st was cold. 2 of the staff were arguing, one said she was doing everyone elses job today, one of the "ladies" said the F word. Not at all good. I doubt I will use the restaurant again, but will visit Dobbies as the garden centre is brilliant.

L. H.

Very pleasant! Went for a coffee and a little look around the shop and garden centre!

J. r.

Great place not just garden . Its got cafe . Home. Food shop . Clothes. Fish . Basically all round decent shop clean and tidy but if its cold out bring a jacket as its cold in there

p. y.

Good selections of plants, fish, green houses, outdoor furniture. If your not too sure staff also willing to answer any questions.

L. F.

My Dobbies staff are just brilliant. Always great help in all areas. The staff were great helping me find my perfect Christmas tree. From the girl on the till, to Julie who took over the task to get stores man to look for it...he was on his dinner...but took time out to locate the tree...which he found! I was so happy! My perfect tree is coming tomorrow, delivered for me. Many thankz Julie snd staff invllved...yoy made my day xx

M. P.

Good Santa, Bad System. Booked a 1245 slot, arrived at 1215 for lunch. After 10 minutes standing in the queue for food, that idea was scrapped as we didn't want to be late. As it was, we should have eaten (3 times over!) because, having arrived at the Grotto reception for 1240, it was another 45 minutes before we finally met Santa, with a convoluted system involving the assignment of numbers from a member of staff who appeared as bemused and unimpressed as we were. Santa himself was authentic, although not quite as warm as we may have wished, but overall it was just about worth the wait.

P. D.

Christmas items were not as good as previous years and lots of items were not priced up. Possibly due to lack of staff due to Covid. On the other hand the staff were friendly and helpful.

D. L.

Many plants wilting from lack of water and many items without price tickets, but tea and cakes were nice.

S. N.

Friendly staff and good quality products. Have purchased lots of plants, seeds and bulbs from Dobbies, and would definitely recommend 👍

A. J.

Went to buy cacti to make a terrarium and had a truly remarkable customer service experience with a sales representative called Dan. He went out of his way to help us to the extent that it felt like a personal shopping experience. Thanks for all the help

L. J.

Went to my Grandaughter's Birthday party was really good we also had a Lovely coffee an Amazing scone delicious

D. L.

We had no idea that they hosted childrens parties, and just stumbled across a flier in this store completely by accident. We asked for information and booked it straight away. The prices are very competitive, the parties are well organised and the food they provide is really good quality. We highly recommend that you look into Dobbies next time you need to plan a children's party.

P. R.

Dobbies is a garden centre near Speke airport in Liverpool. Not visited here for a year or two and wont rush back as I was disappointed. The store sells a variety of products including plants clothing and homeware products. Struggled to find any staff which was a little strange especially at this time of year. Cafe was ok although a little expensive.Both the bakery and the butchery were overpriced so overall a disappointing visit. I think Management need to travel over to the Wirral to Gordale Nurseries and see how a garden centre should be managed.

M. F.

Went for breakfast . Was lovely to be able to go again. Really enjoyed it. Plenty of space in restaurant. Social distancing not s problem.

c. H.

Lovely large garden centre 😀 friendly staff and reasonably priced food 👍

S. B.

Friendly staff coping well with covid and a great range of Christmas things if you are in the mood which sadly nobody was today. Meat counter still brilliant value

F. L.

Good prices and brilliant products.

M. A.

Lovely staff & great products & prices. We have the reward card too so saved 10%

J. Q.

Went for afternoon tea today there was 5 of us I must say was a great experience sandwichs lovely and fresh plenty of choice of cakes would thoughly recommended and a great price if you book online we will certainly be booking again

C. M.

Huge Dobbies with loads of great products. Definitely on the more expensive side, but its nice to browse and shop!

C. M.

Didn't get any inspiration at all. Lots of clearance mess, why not allocate all to one space. Restaurant was ok but didn't have enough plates (colleagues informed us) and didn't feel clean, the manager was bringing pots out on potwash racks that didn't look clean.

E. C.

A large garden centre in south Liverpool, selling a large range of plants as well as clothing, food and homewares. A good start for buying gardening equipment and garden furniture. The staff are helpful and friendly when you manage to find them.

j. y.

Enjoyed wandering through the store. A large variety of products to explore. The store is well organised. Excellent mocha in the restaurant.

D. B.

I love this place helpful staff can't wait for the Christmas decs to go out

S. S.

Been to bexley inside dobbies good food butcher knows his stuff and very helpful

g. h.

Staff very helpful 👍 Only two other people there so quite safe & on the way out was given a free mini xmas 🎄 4 the house or garden smells like xmas

G. W. R.

Nice garden centre with large in store cafe that offers good value food. Store items can be expensive however you can still get some good bargains. They have a great Christmas grotto.

P. D.

Posh but overpriced. Same products are even more expensive than the local expensive DIY/Garden centre chain. Always seams short staffed, can easily get caught in long queues at the tills even at quiet times.

R. D.

Nice enough place, nice restaurant but as every other business it has lost something due to the pandemic

J. M.

Very friendly staff , great restaurant and very competitive prices

C. R.

Very Christmassy, can highly recommend the hot chocolate !!

J. C.

Not just a garden centre now.it has given space to a few clothing outlets and Radley and Kipling bags, Yankee candles etc.once in the plant areas I am so happy.good selection of of healthy plants,garden sheds etc and a good cafe.plenty of parking.

A. S.

We enjoy our member-coffees as part of our joining here and great selection of lovely cakes. The soups are also tasty.

T. F.

Cafe is nice but in the main shop and even in the garden section they rarely have prices on their goods so it's very hard to know what you might be spending.

P. M.

Disapoting failed to buy anything found it expensive even the sale items not up to much would rather use the dobbies at Southport were we have always made purchases.

M. S.

Great range of plants, plus a lot more than that, great to spend a few hours

B. J.

Great shop and in a great location is speke not far from the airport or new Mersey retail park. Good prices you do pay a bit more than most garden centres but your paying for quality.

C. J.

Great selection of garden accessories from plants to furniture also good selection of kitchen items and gifts

t. z.

Just been to Dobbies for lunch and found all the staff very pleasant and helpful with a special mention for Edna (food hall) for going the extra mile we really appreciated it. Many Thanks Lee & Gill. 07/08/2017.

C. A.

Good cafe & shop as well as garden stuff

P. H.

Decent garden centre, good choice of plants plus food shop, kitchen equipment, clothing and decorations. Santas grotto also at the moment.

J. B.

For the price this is a great little afternoon tea, plenty of everything, all tasty and re fills of tea when you ask. The staff were attentive and helpful.

R. H.

Beautiful Garden centre with cafe and huge gift shop. Situated near Liverpool Airport. Well worth a visit.

D. S.

Nice selection of stuff, can be pricey, but the staff are nice and friendly so I guess it evens out.

C. C.

Good value store. Great food

R. P.

Verry clean and organised restaurant with polite and helpful staff

B. M.

Lovely staff. Nice garden centre.

p. s.

Some nice stuff if you've got plenty of money to spend.

G.

Still a nice place to go, but it's a bit chaotic. Many items in the kids toys section are without prices. Lovely cake!

L. B.

Lots of offers with plants and clothing, disappointed at selection of plant pots as no 6inch plastic pots only the more expensive ones and very few of those, selection very poor.

D. J. (.

Changed image since being sold by Tesco. Feels more friendly with more staff on duty. Only a place I would go to occasionally, as big place and too far from city - 6 miles.

S. D.

Had a great cappucino and a slice of lemon drizzle cake. A lovely restful afternoon out following a serious operation 😃

K. N.

Although this is a rebranded tesco for gardens and can be a little expensive for some things but you can always find a bargain and the staff are knowledgeable. They also have a hand carwash near the entrance/exit of the carpark.

r. c.

Had lovely family time at Dobbies the sandwiches and cakes were really nice

D.

Very nice underated location that has clothing, a Café and even a quality Butcher's.

J. R.

We had a lovely time felt very safe staff were lovely had lunch outside in the sunshine and because of discount lunch was very cheap thank u Dobbies well done 👍💚💛💜💙❤

C. “.

Very basic social distancing staff were not managing the customers at all inside the shop. They were not wearing any kind of protection.

J. P.

Fabulous place.. took my mum for her mothers day gifts and ended up staying in for a yummy afternoon tea to. Definitely recommend 😊

l. s.

Lovely clean garden centre. Everything close together unlike some that are spread out everywhere. Recommend you visit. The cakes are amazing

A. O.

Lovely little garden centre.

D. B.

P. M.

Great garden centre with very helpful staff especially in the aquarium department

G. b.

Awesome layout, loads of well kept plants... and even stocked fish for your aquarium. .. first time to Dobbies but definately not the last...

V. H.

Great selection of products and a nice café. Prices range from great value, especially during sales, to fairly steep.

J. H.

Great place for home shopping not just garden centre.the plants and accessories are brilliant but they also do furniture. clothing.pets.and food. Bit pricey but great quality.

D. S.

Nice store plants are in great condition coffee shop is very good

E. R.

Lovely plants , at least they where well watered , every where else i have been all looking very dead 👍

P. “.

To much tat not enough plants! I find Dobbies very expensive for plants these days.. We went to Morrisons and got two hydrangea for a fiver each at Dobbies they are £15 each

B. J.

Nicely laid out, very good restaurants, wife disappointed that clothing department is closed.

S. N.

Excellent staff.polite and helpful. Bright and comfortable cafe with a very useful range of products

f. b.

Cream teas are lovely, shop a little pricey, but overall a nice change.

J. M.

Very nice got some xmas oil and animals for my granddaughter she collects them

C. H.

Always a treat. But due to a waiting for hot drinks my breakfast was cold. However i always enjoy browsing in store.

A. R.

I come here every Sunday for a roast dinner, best roast dinner by far. Staff are all so lovely and nice. Always welcoming.

G. F.

Garden centre offering a wide range of descriptive items for your garden and you can also have a drink and bite to eat too.
