Dobbies Garden Centre Chesterfield

They offer a loyalty card for £12, which gives you a 10% discount on plants and seeds, plus two free drinks each month. Occasionally, they have special days with even deeper discounts. The value of the drinks alone makes it worth it! I bought some roses that were exceptionally healthy for just five pounds, which felt like a good deal. I also received a 10% discount on the sale price because I used my loyalty card. At the moment, bed linen and pots are 50% off, so it's a great time to shop!

This is a lovely spot for an afternoon visit. It's a nice café with a good menu, though I didn't order coffee this time—I ended up buying some dog treats instead. They always have a great selection of items that make for enjoyable outings. I picked out my treats and headed to check out, only to realize that the day's special had slipped from my list. While my wife went to grab something seasonal, I entertained my dog and jokingly expressed hope that my credit card wouldn’t be declined. A coworker nearby overheard and kindly offered to cover the cost of the treats I had opened. The staff here are polite, helpful, and friendly, making it impossible to go wrong—truly an asset to the café!

However, the main disappointment came with the hot food we ordered. We each had fish and chips with mushy peas or garden peas. Unfortunately, both the fish and the chips were overcooked. The batter on the fish should have been light and fluffy, like the images on the website, but instead, it was hard and difficult to cut through. While the fish inside was white and decent, it was still let down by the overcooked batter. Additionally, we noticed that no tartar sauce was provided, even though it was advertised as part of the meal. This was quite a letdown for all of us. On a positive note, we did enjoy the Eton Mess cheesecake we ordered, which was delicious and something we would definitely have again. Overall, the garden center was a great place to explore with many interesting items and friendly staff, but the fish and chips could definitely use some improvement.
