Dobbies Garden World

I do like Dobbies but I’m dissapointed in there café and aquatics department
The café uses a tripple queing system were you que for your meal
And then it gets cold while you que for your drink
And then it gets even colder while you que to pay for your cold meal and cold drink
(Who runs this place, a simpleton) ?
The aquatics department should be shut down or at the very least the RSPCA should be called in
On every occasion I have visited the aquatics there have been dead fish
On the floor were they leap out of the tank (The lids are always left open)
And most tanks have dead fish in them the staff seem to be lazy and take no pride in the fish or the tanks, the tanks, glass and gravel and decorations are always covered in mould
I would never buy fish from there, I dont supose they will ever read this so I doubt it will ever change.

A chocolate reindeer was one price in one place and a totally different price in an another place. It was the same shop. The fish are good, but I know someone who bought a fish from there, and it died in a day!

Dobbies is now my second home Being a huge fish enthusiast i find their aquatics department to be second to none when it comes to stocking rare and exotic types of marine and tropical fish, its an expensive hobby in general but it is made slightly better by the friendly and helpful staff that are constantly on hand, also its open till 8:00 pm which is a huge plus when you get in from work and find your tank heater has failed (would have lost £600 worth of fish had i not got a replacement straight away from Dobbys) their garden center is out of this world aswel stocking huge ranges of exotic plants and trees, also boasting an enormous selection of sheds and hot tubs at really competitive prices the only reservation i have here is the on site café which i found to be expensive and mediocre at best but i suppose i could have cought them on a bad day

Dobbies is fantastic!
dobbies hasnt been open all that long really, but its still lovely all the same.
some fantastic stuff in there its great. Fabulous toys for the kids, my little girl was in her element running around looking at all the things. she even decided upon one special toy we should get for santa and some lovely story books for bed time too.
xmas is the best time to visit the store. hundreds upon hundreds of lights and trees, singing reindeer and more plus a lovely visit to see santa clause too, which always goes down well and is well worth the money too.
The garden section on the shop was pretty small last time we vistied but i had just opened then so i should hope its better now but they had some really nice stuff in and we were very inpressed with the pond fish and the tropical/​cold water fish too.
the café in the center is great some lovely drinks and meals for great prices too and lots of other lovely shops within the complex too: D
really nice place and worth a visit if your in the area!
