Not a good meal
My friend and I had a roast dinner it was Luke warm not nice at all. I complained all the guy said was oh I will let the kitchen know
Empty Gesture
I received a letter early in January that the Havant store would be closing by the end of January and was provided with a voucher to recompense me for the remaining time on my Club Plus Membership.
Today I went to the store to use the voucher and found that the store had already closed down.
As I can't use the voucher online and the nearest store is 35 miles away I find this a rather empty gesture.
My sympathies are with the staff at this store who were always very pleasant and helpful.
How has this store survived ?
How has this store survived ? Way over priced products, consistently understaffed restaurant, dirty floor and tables even just after opening and very mediocre food. Hoped this place may have sorted itself out over the past years but clearly not.

Had a great time at the afternoon tea and make a planter with Sandie.
The afternoon tea was fabulous and Sandies knowledge of plants was brilliant. Would thoroughly recommend the event.
Well deserve 5 stars
Well deserve 5 stars we came into the store to buy some garden furniture Carla and the assistant (forgotten his name sorry ) were very helpful and went over and beyond to help us after a problem on my behalf . I would just like to add I find the whole stores staff to be very friendly and we do enjoy visiting Dobbies well done everybody
In a garden centre you expect at least…
In a garden centre you expect at least one member of staff to know about plants. Asked 2 for Bergamot. They had no idea. The lady working outside waved me towards the herbs (after looking up what it was) - made no attempt to show me. Could not find any. Asked a man on the till - had no sea what it was, told me there were only 4 people in. Dobbies is a garden centre so why does no one know or be bothered to learn about plants.

Alps Pebble Compact Modular Sofa Set
Ordered an Alps Pebble Modular Sofa Set at the end of January which was 'in stock'. Due to delivery issues we finally were able to enjoy the whole set in April. The customer service team particularly 'John' was very helpful at keeping us informed regarding the delays and re-delivery dates.
The patio set was easy to put together, is lovely and much admired by all of our friends - a great place to relax, entertain and read a book. Light enough to use in or out doors depending on the weather. Worth the wait!
