I had a free coffee as a holder of 5a loyalty card and I purchased a baking tin. All the staff I dealt with were very courteous and friendly, seemingly happy in their work.

Everything one could want
I always enjoy visiting Dobbies; the vast collection of plants to choose from, and a chance to browse all the other departments, makes for an enjoyable visit, The staff are always extremely helpful.

Disappointing meal in the restaurant
Disappointing meal in the restaurant. I had the fish and chips and the batter was awful. I had the same meal the week before and it was 100% better. The manager did give me a refund however.

Amazing!
Amazing!! The staff were all so helpful and friendly! We found exactly what we were looking for and more! We left with foody bits and a couple of unexpected gift purchased as well as the plants we had gone in for.
We also spotted a few other things that we will soon be returning to buy.
Thanks Dobbies

My daughter and I called in and had tea and cake, which was a birthday treat on Dobbies. It was served after a while and we enjoyed it. It wasn't too busy and we found a table straight away which was clean.

I'm a regular visitor to Dobbies at Wootton, Northampton. Love the extensive range of plants. I am able to buy from a wide range of cottage perennials as well as colourful bedding plants.
There is a wide range of plants for my herb garden and the garden centre is very competitively priced.
Like to finish regular visits by visiting the face for a coffee.

Unfortunately the young blonde girl with glasses on the till was not friendly or polite.
We asked her if she could get somebody to help us to load 6 heavy bags of compost/topsoil, but nobody came.
This was made up for by the young lad who, when I asked him if he could help us, was friendly, polite and very helpful.
