We always like going to Dobbie's at Hare Hatch. There is lots of stock but it is spaciously laid out. We like the cafe and the choice of food. We had our Granddaughter with us and had promised soft play.We wished there had been a sign before we entered the cafe as she was so upset when we got to the end of the queue and were told it was not open.
As usual helpful staff. Unfortunately what I came to buy, Garrota compost maker was out of stock and nobody knew when it would be available again.
Items easily found in the store with an extra 25 % off it made a big difference. Lady on till polite and very helpful.
All very nice. We had a good meal and look around. All staff were helpful.
Had a very nice fish & chips & then bagged some bargains with the 30% money off voucher
Not your fault bought kids for breakfast and cafe flooded ! Disappointed children though .

Go every week for coffee and cake
Thankyou for the birthday voucher nice surprise
I always enjoy a trip to your store!I have a mobility scooter & it is easy to get around no hazards!Helen in your very handy food section was most helpful!A good selection of greeting cards always in stock.
I only popped in to make the most of some rewards (extra points and money off) using my Dobbies card, so I bought some food in the food hall, and had breakfast with a coffee in the restaurant. Everything was good and I was pleased to see not much of a queue in the restaurant for a change! The service was good, but it still always takes so long to get a hot drink. Why can't more staff be serving hot drinks? Only one hot drink ever seems to be getting prepared. Surely there is room for another person or machine to make other drinks?
Great morning. Everything went nearly perfectly. Best breakfast . Cotton Traders didn't have what I required but hey ho. Plants and hard landscaping were just right and priced within budget. Overall a great morning
The new Swindon one is really poor. But we really liked the one in Hare Hatch
Ordered fish/chips & toasted sandwich. Sandwich fine, but no side salad or crisps instead had a plateful of chips, apparently no crisps & salad available. Would have changed choice if I had been told, but were not told - so a bit dry and stodgey
Fish/chips/peas hot, but there was literally more tartare and batter - unfortunately had to really look for fish, not good this time. Will use it for garden centre, but will go to local pub instead of this cafe again. Sorry you have lost a regular customer.

Helpful staff in restaurant and checkout, especially because I possess only a cardboard card with my membership no on it. Would be fantastic to own a plastic one, please.

Can’t fault the visit. Easy parking. Plenty of stock, well laid out. Clean and well ventilated. Tills quick and accurate and staff polite.

Dobbies Hare Hatch is great - there is a well stocked garden centre, they have friendly staff and a nice cafe for coffee. They often have reduced plants that still flower nicely. Also useful to have a pet store and small sainsburys.
Popped in to bin my compost bags and pots and Tara was very helpful
Caring and considerate. I came in late Sinday,after closing time in the restaurant not feeling too well. A girl got me a glass of and told me sit tbere as long as you wznt. Todsy had jacket potato with my sister. Such a pleasure to go there.
