Dobbies Garden Centre Atherstone

Went to Dobbies on Friday 20 October 2023 got there about 1030 just in time for breakfast. We would like to pay a huge compliment to the ladies serving behind the food counter serving breakfasts and hot drinks. Although the queue continued to grow they were so cheerful and happy and nothing fazed them - couldn't of been more helpful. One thing for the management maybe another person on hot drinks at peak times - you know how long these fancy coffes take to make.

Had lunch in the cafe last week. .very overpriced and counted 12 chips on my friends plate !! Very overpriced for a plate of bland food. Then once home checked receipt to find had been charged £6.30 for one cappucino !! Called a curt customer service lady who said take the receipt to the cafe. Will not be returning.

We went into the restaurant for refreshments and my husband watched one of your employees whilst he was waiting to be served. The employee had noticed a customer had a tray of refreshments and he was using a walking stick to aid him to walk. The employee asked him if he'd like his tray to be carried to a table and the customer accepted the offer. The employee called another member of staff over to assist the customer. Excellent customer service!! It's not often any notices that a customer needs assistance. Well done!

Been going here for years, dropped in again today and had a really nice time. There's a food hall with Waitrose products, aquatics area, pet products shop, large garden centre section, clothing and a large variety of home decor products. You can make a morning of it by having lunch or a coffee at the cafe too.

The restaurant staff couldn't have been more accommodating and welcoming. We enjoyed an early afternoon tea arranged by Sam, nothing seemed too much trouble. Compliments to the chef Mark, for the most tasty and enjoyable sandwiches and cakes. Not forgetting the refills from Sarah our lovely server. the Dobbies restaurant team definitely made my visit special, they even sang me happy birthday 🥰. They are a credit to the store.

Stop here for lunch on our journey by from the West Country up to Yorkshire a very large chain of garden centres i never knew of. impressive lots of in-house stores selling household items etc etc lovely Cafe and as usual obviously a great outdoor garden plant centre and it was Christmas time that we visited so in the pictures there's lots of Christmas goodies. we did have a scone and cup of tea there and the scone was delicious

Wow, what a garden centre! I visited a few weeks ago when I was on holiday. A huge indoor space, with beautiful displays in the entrance area. Very clean toilets. Some of the indoor spaces looked a bit empty and underutilised but store could have been in the middle of a phase change, or store layout change. The cafe was busy, but obviously popular. The aquatic section was really well maintained and tidy throughout. Will be visiting again next time I'm in the area!

Lovely place to visit with family, perfect for shopping & bite to eat...play area for kiddies too and theyve got a few extra activities for Christmas..only reservation about the cafe was that the cake that I had ordered actually tasted abit stale unfortunately, felt like it had been sitting there for a while, wouldve gone back to let them know but was short for time so I left it, it was quite a shame as it looked delicious!!
