Dobbies Garden Centre Carlisle - Carlisle

I will try and remember what they sold, to help everyone, but I can't remember the prices, i can't do everything.
Plenty of parking, for everyone, disabled people also, with a accessible and wide entrance.
Now this is a Garden Centre with the main emphasis on the garden.
You have compost, garden furniture, garden tools, barbecues, barbecuing accessories.
Outside in the garden area, you will find plants and ceramic pots of all descriptions and sizes. Also if I remember rightly rabbit hutches, dog kennels and sheds.
Back inside again you will find an aquatic centre, full of fish and aquariums, not to mention all the toys that go in the water. I wouldn't be surprised if they sold cleaning equipment and pumps also.
As you keep on walking their is a toy section for kids, a stationary section, and also a food
section.
Like all good Garden Centres worth their salt,
there is a cafe also. This cafe does sell hot food, but it i think it depends on the time of day, but don't quote me. Nevertheless cold items can be bought all day through. Prices are comparable as with any where else.

One of the biggest garden center, Well maintained, lots of parking, outside city area. Good for gardening items, sheds, tools, etc...

We have been going to Dobbies for decades and it's a great place to view, eat, and buy products. The garden selection of items is usually well stocked, and their membership scheme is fantastic to get customers to return for a free hot cuppa!

The restaurant is nice, hot food is hit or miss depending on what's on offer! There are lots of cakes to choose from and the scones always looks tasty.

The staff are friendly and willing to help out. The whole place is wheelchair friendly and plenty of disabled parking.

First time here. A well laid out store with signs the stand out. Lots of great items to browse and plants. We used the cafe and were very pleased with our food. Polite staff and good food.

It would be a better system if you paid for your food 1st then went and collected it so it’s not stone cold and you have to go complain & have changed for a warm meal. The play area needs a deep clean & a total refurbishment.Not impressed at all.

Impressive branch of Dobbies, large selection of goods available, everything you would expect for a garden centre. Plus branches of Maidenhead Aquatics, Waitrose and a restaurant are on site. Plenty of free parking available. The food in the restaurant is excellent, very good value and we enjoyed the jacket potatoes we had on our visit.

Staff were lovely, particularly the canteen staff. Canteen prices were exorbitant - 8.50 for a very standard tuna mayo baguette isn't sustainable. However the coffee was excellent. In the garden centre there were plants strewn around on the floor but perhaps they were just having a bad day (and no it wasn't particularly windy).

Had Sunday lunch at the restaurant. Never again , food not very appealing to start with and by the time you self serve yourself a cup of tea and then pay for your food it’s barely Luke warm. First time in a long time I witnessed someone using his sleeve to wipe a table so that he could use it. Half the restaurant set with nicely laid reserved tables. The rest of the tables left dirty
