Dobbies Garden Centre Liverpool

The restaurant was poorly stocked and not very clean; they really need to address these issues. They should take a closer look at Bent's.

Pleasant shopping experience in a lovely retail environment with particularly beautiful toilets (my daughter loved the sinks in the ladies), subsidised by expensive prices. Yorkshiremen avoid!

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

The quality in the cafe seems to have gone downhill in the last few years.

I had a wonderful experience at Little Seedlings, which is managed by the lovely and knowledgeable Jackie. I also noticed that Dobbies has changed a lot since my last visit; it looks quite different from the outside than I expected.
