Absolutely disgraceful breakfast costing £20 for the 2 of us today...Tables were not cleared until after our food arrived...When we didn't want black pudding on ordering were informed it can't he swoped for another item...Not very customer friendly....!! It was soo cold we had to eat in our coats and the food matched that.....Staff rushed off their feet & it wasn't even busy

Unfortunately I have to review my review, because of our experience in the cafe today.My husband and I had just completed our shopping in the garden centre and decided to have some coffee and cake in the cafeteria. After waiting a few minutes at the counter we were shocked to be told by one of the assistants in very impolite terms ?get in the queue.? The people behind us told the assistant that we were actually first in the queue in any case. However, this was met with an equally terse question ?what table number are you?? We said that we did not have a table number and were told ?I can?t serve you without a table number?. It is some time since my husband and I shopped at the garden centre so we were unaware of the new rule to have a table number before submitting an order. I imagine such a system would be difficult if one was on one?s own - how could you reserve a table whilst at the counter? We decided to cancel our order because of the rudeness and impatience of the assistant and will not have any further dealings with Dobbies garden centre. The appalling manners of your assistant has resulted in the loss of our future custom and patronage.

Popped in to use the cafe. Perfectly fine, staff were a bit slow?

Dreadful, absolutely dreadful. Having taken the trouble to check on Google that this store would be open, we arrived before 5.00 pm. to be told that the store was closed. The Google entry showed it was open and had a closing time of 6.00 pm. The answer we received from the staff was that they knew that the Google entry was wrong and that the closing time from NOVEMBER was 5.00 pm. So despite having 4 MONTHS to change it, no one could be bothered. It takes just seconds to change opening hours on Google, I know because I change our business entry when necessary. So we had a completely wasted return journey. So much for customer care at Dobbies.

Good garden centre

This has the potential to be a fantastic garden centre, but lacks clarity, very miss mash inside. Needs a good manager/designer. Coffee shop is really nice if a bit chilly to sit and have a coffee, sadly the lady who took our order was extremely rude, definitely could do with some customer training, other staff very nice.

Used the cafe. Overpriced. Ordering a coffee was an ordeal. Black coffee decaf, please, but then confusion started as they needed to know which coffee. Went on fir sn age so I ordered tea. It arrived promptly and was tepid. Didn't bother venturing Amy further into the store

I always find the cafe staff in this establishment really rude and inappropriate. It's a shame as the garden centre itself is full of good deals, but the rude cafe staff make me not want to give my custom to the rest of establishment and so the items I selected stayed in their basket and I left
