Very good service even when the shop was very busy. The staff were friendly, cheery, helpful and genuine. We were buying a Christmas tree and have touched a whole forest of them, but they did not min... See more

Friendly and informed staff. Great atmosphere and great variety of plants and garden accessories.
Great service from ordering to delivery. The two gentlemen were gentle with the goods and put them were I wanted. Very polite and courteous.
When one of my two identical conical box trees started to die, Dobbies Northampton exchanged it for me, under their lifetime guarantee, very impressive especially for high value items. The staff in store were very friendly and helpful. I’m very grateful.
Lovely coffee in the cafe purchased 2 beautiful plants but rain prevented us from enjoying the outside area.
Love dobbies and with the loyalty card at just £12.99 it’s great value
We purchased garden table and 6 chairs and staff couldn’t do enough to make our shopping experience great. First class service all round. Waiting now for delivery and so far we have had several emails confirming date. Definitely recommend and will not hesitate to shop here again. Thank you for such great service.
Give this restaurant a very wide berth, clearly under-staffed and those in 'action' seemed slow beyond belief. Terribly disappointing, can't see us ever going back!

Having queued for at least 15 minutes to order our two meals of ham, fried eggs and chips I was pleasantly surprised how quickly they arrived at our table, only to find that both meals contained hardly warm congealed fried eggs and warm soggy chips.
I have noticed that since the restaurants have resumed after the Covid lockdown the standard and variety of the main lunchtime menus has diminished considerably.

I was glad some smaller packs of compost were stocked as I find 50 litres hard to lift. On special offer too. Had a lovely coffee at their cafe which was busy for a Monday. The only drawback at the cafe is the noise level.
I Love going to Dobbies.
Its one of the best Garden centres, it is very well stocked with fresh well looked after plants, shrubs & trees. Garden furniture, kitchenware, restaurant but unfortunately the last few times i have been, there havent been any meals. Sainsburys is also instore. Plenty of space to move around, also parking spaces.
Wish there was one nearer to where i live.
