Travelled 24 miles to Dobbies, Royston for lunch as a little treat When we got there restaurant was not serving cooked meals today, only sandwiches and jacket potatoes. No explanation, just told not doing cooked meals today This I 2nd time this has happened here. Should have learned our lesson. Next time, ( if there is one ) will telephone first, but really shouldn't have to

A large online order for outside furniture, order confirmed, money taken, payment confirmed and delivery date, weeks later, confirmed. The delivery day arrives, no delivery and no contact. Found a Customer Service phone number the next day, after investigation with their courier they decided they had NO STOCK! No further contact, no solution. Disgusting.

i order 20days ago , when i ordr it say "delivery 14 days" but no order received or any email or contact to tell me when it will arrive . order on Monday 31 January 2022,

We visited Dobbies, Cirencester and I developed a migraine on entering the store. I sat on the garden furniture display and was immediately visited by the deputy manager who asked if I was ok. When I told him I had a migraine he radioed to a colleague who, suffering herself from Migraines brought me a range of her own personal migraine remedies which she generously gave me. I was so impressed by her kindness and thoughtfulness and it made a big difference to my shopping experience at Dobbies.

Ordered an item which was in stock and which a few hours later showed as despatched - 11 days & 5 phone calls later I'm still waiting - I will never never make the mistake of using them again !

Placed the order over the phone as they haven't updated postcodes and won't accept mine! Every other online retailer has no problem with my postcode. Die to be delivered one week later . Non arrival. Phoned up and was assured delivery would be tuesday 7th sept, guess what still not here. I have planned in to complete my garden before I go abroad, can't see it happening. When you spend£150 with potential to spend a further £150 then you think they would be bothered. Will not use them again, should have gone to keyline who probably would be cheaper.!!!

I bought two wooden borders for my flowerbed last week. I ordered on Sunday and they arrived on Thursday. They said 3-5 days, so I guess that was on time. Didn't call or email them so I couldn't really rate their customer service. The parcelforce guy arrived with the parcel and 4 hits of the hammer, they're in the ground. Result!

The website is gorgeous and range very wide. I was after furniture set I've seen in store first decided to order it online as they do feature free delivery for furniture orders. Placing the order was easy, I received number of emails leting me know in what stage my order was. Furniture set I ordered was delivered rapidly within 48 hours. Quality and value is just outstanding. Thank you Dobbies!

The restaurant at Gailey is an absolute JOKE its SHAMBOLIC. You wait to be served at the first counter by the kitchen then ask for a jacket potato, only to be told you should be at the other counter. So you move over and wait to then be told there are no more potatoes!!!!!!!! So we went back to the first counter to order paninis to find the machine was broke!!!!! We asked what the childrens hot meal was "its sheperds pie" Ok my grand daughter will have that. "its 15 mins wait" was the reply!!!!! An elderly lady and her friend looked at us and said "its always like this"

Having purchased a small packet of Bayer Dithane Protective from Dobbies Garden Centres Online for £6.00 I then paid £5.00 for postage which I thought was O.T.T. but with a leg injury, on line shopping was my only option. I received a large box (12"x8"x9")inside of which was 24ft of 15" wide brown wrapping paper and the Dithane. I estimate that the box had the capacity for 30 packets. My packet would have gone in an envelope and postage should have cost about 50p. Excessive postage and the box, wrapping and carriage an environmental disaster leaves me reluctant to use Dobbies again.

Ordered a bird table and some feeders, nuts etc. in Dobbies Garden Centres August online sale. Half the order arrived (one bag of seeds had burst and repaired with Sellotape), along with an e-mail saying the rest would be shipped within 2-3 days. After a week I e-mailed to find out what was happening. I was told the missing items were being sourced and I would be contacted again. Another week and another e-mail and finally the pickers e-mailed to say the missing items were out of stock and I would receive a refund (for which I'm still waiting). Interestingly they are refunding me for something that actually did arrive. Very poor co-ordination, non-existent customer service, and overall very bad experience. I will never use them again, no matter how good the things look on the website.

Dobbies Garden Centres customer service failed me here I'm sorry to say. I ordered a table for my garden but the wrong one turned up when i rang about this I was tod nobody was in to help me so i rang again following day and so on in the end it was dealt with but poor customer service a shame I will not use them again for this alone Not a bad site I must say but as for customer service well this is where they fail.
