Visited Dobbies at Gailey today with a view of lunch in their restaurant. This used to be a lovely garden centre to visit and eat before they made the restaurant dog friendly. Today there were dogs... See more

Nice garden centre
Good atmosphere in the garden centre…
Good atmosphere in the garden centre however the liquidplant food bought must be old stock as it contains solids that will not dissolve. The restaurant only had 9 tables occupied but the rest of them were covered in used crockery etc and there was no one around to clear the tables. I had to remove items from a table in order for us to sit down.

Loveliest lady on checkout
Every time we come here, we happen to get served by the girl with the brown hair, and wears a cloth mask, and she is the loveliest person ever. I always get her name, then forget it when I come to write a review.
I hope Dobbies see this and know who she is to thank her for us!

Everything was quick and efficient
Everything was quick and efficient. Good selection of plants etc. The restaurant is always clean and the customer service friendly.

My husband and I decided to have tea and cake in the restaurant at Dobbies, Gailey, nr Wolverhampton. We found that around 80% of the tables were unoccupied but hadn't been cleared of dirty crockery for quite sometime. We had to clear our own table, along with other customers, before we could enjoy our refreshments.
We feel this really let Dobbies down as this is not the first time we have experienced this at the branch.
Limited light weight plant pots
Couldn’t get pot I required. Bought some reduced plants.
Had drink in restaurant after clearing a table. All tables full of used crockery/trays!
Friendly and helpful staff. A pleasure to visit
Julie and Valerie were really helpful and lovely, sorting out a plant exchange for me.
The girl who served me in the cafe was very polite and courteous. My friend and I had a really nice time.
Very friendly restaurant staff.
Lovely staff
Lovely staff! Big thank you to the assistant who who came looking for my mother after noticing she had left her purse on the counter after we had left…
Disappointment once again
Once again a disappointing visit to the cafe. Despite your extensive advertising for 2-for-1 fresh cream scones after 2pm, there were none at 3.30. I have been at 2.10pm before and there were not any then either. It is an after school treat for my grandchildren which is very special to us all. It costs me £3.75 for each of them to have a scone with a pot of jam and a small plastic pot of clotted cream. I am a pensioner and this is a costly exercise.why can’t you make more of the 2-for-1 offer available to honour your advertising ? It is a very poor show. I must say though that your restaurant staff are excellent.

Expensive plants
Let me say, I love Dobbies with its fab restaurant and easy access for my disabled father, but I’m disappointed that the flowers and garden centre are just too expensive. I bought a camellia that was reduced in price and that’s it. I’m afraid I’ll be buying my plants elsewhere.
Sorry
Great choice of plants with good…
Great choice of plants with good prices, great discounts with our Dobbies card.
Great butchers discounts if you go towards the end if the day
Great centre
Dobbies is a regular garden centre of choice.
Good garden choice as well as homeware and good restaurant facilities. The reward card is very beneficial too.
Not that impressed
Not that impressed. No staff about to ask anything. Other garden centres have more stock.
