A pleasant shopping experience

We arrived and decided to have coffee and a cake first which was very nice. Then we went outside to get a couple of saucers for some pots that we had. We then wanted some bird food which we found very easily and also some peanuts for the birds and squirrels. We then headed to the checkout and they opened up another one for us so we didn’t have to wait very long before we was heading out to our car

Bought a set of garden furniture reduced in sale,very pleased with it ,only disappointment was that having had to take from display,a further modest discount could not be offered considering how many people had parked their bums in it previously,but never the less happy with service at Dobbies as always and with quality of the product.

Not as good as other cafes not a very good selection of cakes and no water in any dog bowls but this time I did not have a lady telling me to bring my tray and cups and plates back in I thought that would be her job I would do that any way but it was the way she spoke to me not very good customer service

Intended to buy new plant pots

Intended to buy new plant pots. Due to my dexterity and arthritis wished to but plastic or recycled plastic which I hoped would be able to lift and could not see any to buy. Left straight away when normally I would browse - lost sales for Dobbies. Managed to get some at B&Q- sale for them. Cafe is poor compared to Dobbies at Ponteland.
