Dobbies Garden Centres - Swindon Recenzje 210

Today my friend was treating me to lunch at Dobbies restaurant Stratton .
I have been to quite a few different Dobbies cafes , and this is the first time I have been so appalled by the method of ordering and incompetence of the staff in dealing with members of public . After waiting a significantly long time to be sat at a table , we then waited a further 20 mins for our order to be taken . When it was , we were ignored and people seated long after after us attended to first .
After said food arrived , eaten , asked again to sit down to wait and pay bill .
This system does not work unless enough members of the staff are fully competent and trained in how to use systems. Very disgruntled and would not be looking to return .

Ver well presented goods and helpful staff and reasonable prices.

The lady at the desk and all staff were very helpful.
I went to the garden centre with a friend that day.
I joined the monthly drinks and offers you have with your hobbies club plus on your visits there.
I got a voucher to spend.
It is a place to visit have a look around for in the house items as well as the garden.
The outside is good to look forward to better weather in the winter time.
Thank you.

just joined dobbies club at swindon branch.thanks to Lorraine who really helped us,staff are always helpfull here and we love the free drinks you can buy lovely food has well

Lovely food, friendly staff and good atmosphere.
Just right for a catch up with a friend

It was a lot more stocked up with plants and looked more cared for at Dobbies Stratton, than last time I went. It was tidy, pleasant walking round and staff were visible and friendly 🤗

The friendly nature of all the staff and a quick response on getting our drinks/food

When one can find a member of staff for advice. No body available.

Good to be able to walk around. Good selection of plants and garden tools. Good cafeteria as well.

Swindon store-Great staff in restaurant, nothing too much trouble

Visited the Swindon branch. Had lunch in the cafe which was very good value - large portions and very tasty toasted sandwiches which came with a nice side salad. Staff were very efficient and friendly.
Bought some nice perennials in excellent condition. Was also looking for some evergreen shrub or conifers - but there weren't any mature specimens.

Well that was an experience 😳
From the time you walk in and made to stand at the doorway,
A member of staff then stands by a table and shouts the leanth of the restaurant for you to go and sit,
We ordered our food when it comes out well what a sorry plate that was, no cutlery, no butter for the toast and no drinks, I asked for cutlery amd our drinks and was told they are short staffed,
Not a good environment to sit and enjoy the rubbish they give us , let's just say I left hungry and a lot of money down and nearly two hours of my life I'm not getting back🤣
I do have a photo but won't let me upload

Clean tidy always new things to view staff very friendly

I wanted to give a massive shout out to Shaun (excuse spelling if it's Sean!) at Dobbie's Swindon: we decided to get garden furniture last Sat at short notice and he was super helpful. He replied to my voicemail and email promptly; we changed our mind on the set and he patiently answered our questions. He then got a team to get the heavy box into our car in no time at all. Great service, very grateful, good work team! Thank you. I recommend.

Poor customer service, to advertise big on product but ignored the fact they are big/ overly expensive on all products , soo expensive to shop here! Go to a local nursery!!

Plenty of plants to choose from.
Location and layout of store was brilliant.

Lovely choice of garden plant and flowers , always a lovely experience in visiting Dobbies 👍
