Dobbies Garden Centre Liverpool

We came for the food. It was atrocious. Dry, overcooked, and lukewarm all at the same time. Found it inedible. Greggs would have offered better quality and service for a fraction of the cost. Even the cake was dry on one side. Please consider domes.

Very tasty breakfast, but a shame there wasn't the avocado tost that was on the menu.I ordered the mini breakfast and it was delicious.

Visited restaurant Monday 13th November at 1pm. Would like to praise the young man on duty there. He was so cheerful and helpful. Gave us a full rundown on what was available to eat. Much appreciated by my sister in a wheelchair. Well done !

You get the feeling this is a chain store which has grown tired of providing a service to a paying public. And that is what it is. The shelves are half empty, some stock nearing sell by dates, staff reluctant to help. The cafe in particular was strewn with the evidence of previous diners, pots, cutlery and leftover food just everywhere you looked. Better garden centres to had elsewhere. Avoid

Went for a birthday afternoon tea. Fifteen of us including two children. We were very well looked after and it was a very happy birthday for a 98yr old.The food was very reasonably priced at £20 for two adults and £15 for two children. The sandwiches for the adults were a mix of smoked salmon and cream cheese, egg and mayo, ham and cheese and cucumber. The children, I thought, had a better selection of tuna and mayo, ham, cheese and jam. The scones were very good with plenty of butter, clotted cream and jam. There was also an excellent mix of small cakes. Tea and coffee were replenished as we wanted.A very enjoyable afternoon with all you could eat and more. Thanks to the staff.

Dobbies was looking short on stock in the outdoor garden section. They had some flooded areas so maybe that was the reason. It all looked quite sparse and the stock that is there is looking tired and old. There is no prices on a lot of the items and not a lot of staff on the ground to ask, you would need a staff member to walk around with you giving you the prices! The inside layout has been organised better.

Took the children to the grotto. It was beautifully decorated. The elf at the entrance was great and put us in a festive mood. The queue was about 25 minutes but there was an activity to do along the way. Santa was brilliant and interacted well with the kids. Only downside was the photo, the lady who took about 2 seconds to take it and didn’t try to get the kids attention. They came out terrible (kids face covered) so we didn’t purchase and was glad we didn’t buy in advance. Luckily we got a few good ones on our phones.

Not good,told no free drinks on my card which also happened last month.Told card had expired did not receive renewal notice so paid new price of £15 REALLY UNFAIR for long time customer.Did send an email mail no reply may have got lost.Not fair did not get any renewal notice.Ron Gould

Went for a breakfast with daughter. Was cold by the time we sat down. Ridiculous!! You get a breakfast, then have to wait for your drink, then wait again to pay. Won't be going again, and certainly won't recomend. Need to change the way your breakfast is served.
