A Great breakfast experience!
Yesterday I met up with my daughter for a breakfast catch up.
I had the eggs Benedict and my daughter had the full English.
Both meals were excellent, nicely presented and very tasty.
We were served quickly by some very helpful staff.
All in all…. ‘A great breakfast experience’ 😄
The most disappointing breakfast ever
The most disappointing breakfast ever. One small chipolata masquerading as a sausage. A barely cooked fried egg with some still clear and runny white. An inedible undercooked half fried tomato which the first (and only) bite tasted suspiciously fish like. An experience I will not be repeating.

Had a lovely meal at dobbies cadnam
Had a lovely meal at dobbies cadnam . Very nicely cooked . I also had the food deal for £11.95 a cooked meal will a piece of cake for the over 60 . What was good value 😊
Just had visit to Cadnam G Centre
Just had visit to Cadnam G Centre. Lady taking orders looked so stressed. Given dirty milk jug. Presentation of my J potatoes+tuna was awful. Water jugs empty -waited ages to get tap water. Dirty glass. Jacket potato skin so tough.Think more staff needed--that look happy and give a welcome. I'm not going to renew my card (£12 for year).
However coffee is good but cakes expensive for what you get.

Very dog friendly
Very dog friendly which is why we visit this garden centre. Also like the mini Waitrose
Dobbies + waitrose 👍.
Waitrose on site. Team members that care & a loyalty card that tries hard to create value 🤔.
A lovely lunch experience
I visited the Dobbies at Cadnam as a lunchtime treat for my 88 year old mother-in-law. We enjoyed a super lunch and the food was lovely. The staff we met were very pleasant and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit in March.

Me and my disabled husband went to pay for our goods at the till and she acted as though she could not care less if she served me or not. There were two young girls at the till and because my husband tried to complain he has no speech they laughed at him.
She said it’s going to be a long day then leave if you don’t want the job. Where are the old staff.

Great customer service
Great customer service when we came to buy our Christmas trees in December. Staff were immediately on hand to help, friendly and helpful, and even wheeled the trolley to the till for us! We enjoyed our experience so much that we came back in to the store afterwards to browse for Christmas gifts and food.
