Dobbies Garden World

Great friendly staff, good food and tremendous selection of artisan goodies. Garden centre goodness in force. Couldn’t be more helpful or welcoming.

If you like the all under one roof experience this is for you. If you prefer the independent retailer — move right along

Dobbies garden Centre in Cirencester is part of a large chain of super garden centres. This one sells plants which are good quality but slightly expensive and also has a number of shops and a café. The shops are interesting enough to wander around but as with all these type of stores it’s possible to get stuff cheaper elsewhere. The café is definitely overpriced for what it is and the quality is not good with sandwiches being knocked up in a very basic way. The hot food is better and not as expensive. For a price it’s also possible to order things from the garden centre and these can be good. Best of all is the advice available from the staff.
They have some very interesting addtions to their aquarium such as Lionfish, frogs, newts etc

Dobbies is the biggest garden centre I have ever seen. once you’re inside, it’s like a different world. There’s a restaurant — food is OK, not fantastic. I think it’s quite pricey. You could do all of your Christmas shopping here under one roof, it’s incredible just be careful you don’t get carried away. They sell everything from essential oils to clothes and books and card oh and some plants too! The food area is, in my opinion, very expensive but they do have some lovely stuff there. fre parking and lots of it. It’s worth a visit just for a mooch around and a cup of coffee.

Lovely garden centre great choice, Food hall fab, Kitchen and homeware great, childrens area great selection, clothing good choice not to pricey. well reccmended especially at christmas.

You haven’t been to a garden centre until you have been to a Dobbies. This is a very modern garden centre with all the usual plants and gardening paraphenalia you would expect (and a large range of it too), but it is so much more than that. Inside there are number of units, showcasing toys, crafts, ornaments, books, gifts etc so there is plenty to look round. If you fancy a break then there is a spacious retaurant which can cater for most tastes, be it a slice of cake, a sandwich or a full roast dinner. Be sure to visit the foodhall before you leave and take some tasty treats home with you.

Although i find the prices of plants a little higher than some garden centres, theres a good range of plants etc. Theres also a pond/​aquatic centre and a good stock of pots and containers. The indoor outlets are good, and there is normally a really good range of christmas goods with a very good display. Checkout the foodhall and the café too, for snacks and meals.

Dobbies is more than your average garden centre. It has all the usual attributes that you would expect of an upmarket garden plus outlets for clothing and many other products.
There is also an excellent restaurant catering for all tastes from a simple slice of cake to a full blown meal.
Here you will also find a farm foodhall full of products you would only expect to find in places such as Harrods foodhall or a high class deli. This also encorporates a branch of Jesse’s butchers that offer an extremely good range of meat products.
