It was a quick visit and we easily found what we wanted. Unfortunately one of the sets of lights we wanted were sold out but a staff member very kindly agreed to sell the ones that were on display.
Great help from Tom!
Great place to buy fish! Staff members are very friendly, especially Tom. He has helped us out twice when buying fish and is always so helpful and gives us great advice. Makes it an enjoyable experience. Looking forward to seeing him in there again next time.

Visited two Saturdays running and both times the restaurant seemed overwhelmed with long waits or a restricted menu. The staff remained very polite and were working really hard to try to satisfy people.
Come on Dobbies you can do better.

I find that cutting your cakes ( I. E. Victoria sponge etc ) into. SIXTEEN PORTIONS AND CHARGING £3.45 a slice is WAY WAY OVER THE TOP. I am seriously considering cancelling my membership. I cannot come once every month as l need assistance to travel to you. Sometimes l can come more than once. But you cancel my stored up free teas so l can claim a previous months unused offer. Shame on you

Some delay in restaurant.
No hot meals.
I only get a sitter twice a week as my husband is disabled and decided to treat myself to lunch. There was a sign saying no hot meals and a massive queue to get served so decided not worth the wait to get a sandwich so gave up and went home.

As always my last visit was really good. It's always a pleasure to come to Dobbies. Sad that I can't spend as much as I would like to spend with you at this time.

Drinks were fine but took a long time to arrive. Also, the Ladies toilets were not very pleasant.
