Cafe very disappointing...
Disappointed to see the cafe is so limited now. Such potential, good seating available and a new outdoor area but the coffee is now in a take away cup and there are only a few wrapped cakes and bars. Such a missed opportunity, when other garden centres have expanded their cafe facilities offering light snacks and meals, the Beaconsfield Dobbies offers tea and coffee in paper cups and very little else. I don't understand the logic behind this business model!

It was a visit purely to grab a coffee (although we did subsequently make a small purchase).
Initially there was no-one at the cafe counter. When someone arrived they weren’t the friendliest. Two cappuccinos ordered. Chocolate sprinkled on both without asking. Not a major issue but I prefer mine without. Small takeaway cup despite us drinking on site.
This was a free drink against my membership. If I’d had to pay for it (£3 each) I’d have been disgusted at the lack of value for money

I wanted to buy square suet and mealworm tablet bird food for my container. I bought what was left on the shelf. It was not full of mealworms and I did not want to buy the ball type of bird food as I would have had to buy a new container. There was no other option. I shall go to the Pet Stores next time.

Positive experience
Usually I am disappointed with Dobbies but actually had a good experience yesterday. Had a very helpful member of staff find the price of a product and with my Dobbies plus card saved a further 20% so excellent value.
Also had an enjoyable cup of coffee and slice of cake in the coffee shop.
Helpful staff
Helpful staff - giving assistance to get 50L compost bags into car. There was no stock of bug sprays for diseased plants - only preventive treatments available.

Great display of plants in various size pots and packs, fair prices although on some plants difficult to find a price.
Poor attitude from Store Manager
Tried to get a propane gas refill to have a BBQ. DOB bids is my local supplier.
The container had the big red bottles, but I was told it was no longer supplied/stocked.
The manager got quite rude. There was nothing he could do, even though he had stocks of Patio gas, which is Propane. I left with a flea in my ear.
Fortunately Bourne End Marina stepped in and helped.
