Dobbies Garden Centre Ayr

Sad to see the decline in the once great garden centre. Food expensive for what it is. Tea pot half the size, portions of good poor. The seating areas are so worn I didn't sit on themThe stock of everything is sadly lackingI think this store has really gone downhill. Been a Dobbies card holder for many a long year. So we have just decided to cancel it as there are better garden centres nearby that produce quality food and beverages in their centres, along side lots of gardening products. We have just left the store to go elsewhere. Loss of sales from us. Another centres gain.

Was taken to the cafe by a friend for her birthday. What slow service! Our hot food was no longer even warm by the time we'd queued for coffee and paid. Panini and toastie could have done with being browned more. Cafe was freezing, don't even think the heating was on. Love the fact that dogs are allowed.

Very disappointing visit to the cafe yesterday afternoon. Every single table in the conservatory had dirty dishes which weren't cleared for the entirety of our 40 minutes there. I can understand that the staff are very busy however this is very off putting. We are regular visitors and have absolutely no complaints about the staff who are very hardworking, helpful and cheerful even when under great pressure. They are lovely. However a few more staff available for table clearing duties would make a considerable difference. And £1 for a two fingered KitKat? Really?

Dobbies Garden centre has a great selection of plants as well as house decorations.If you want to have a beautiful garden you can find all your luxurious needs here.The clothing shop inside also has good quality items.The restaurant looks very cosy inside with a lot of plants around it.The waitress was outstanding, and the food was exactly what I was looking for. We had our breakfast here.We were so pleased with the service.We were very impressed with the quality of the food and desserts we received.The restaurant also has a great cake selection.If you are passing by this beautiful town in Scotland, called Ayr make sure that you have a drink and food here. I can highly recommend The Dobbies Garden centre.

Avoid the Cafe overpriced everything frozen food and my food wasn’t even warm told staff about it and they said I’ll change it got it changed and it was still cold. Avoid avoid avoid

Christmas at Dobbies is so magical but …. the food was terrible , slow to be served and poor quality. They desperately need more staff on the check outs - big queues at the two tills in operation . Food department not as good as it use to be. Overall not a great experience .

Poor today. No Caramel Latte . But even worse at cutlery counter, not 1 knife available. Apparently every knife in the place was in dishwasher, even though abundance of all other cutlery. Over 30 minutes before any appeared. Unacceptable!!!

Went into Debbie's Ayr today, toilets disgusting, lights flashing, queued for food and coffee, no cups, milk, insufficient staff. Walked out as I got fed up with waiting. Went to Gemmels, great service, great food and they welcomed me on arrival, Dobbies, you need to learn from your competitors!
