The cafe contains several rather clinical looking seating areas. They were neither homely nor interesting but they were clean and neat.

The range of foods included thee main meal specials at around �6.95, salads at �4.50 / �6.95, plus a range of snacks, cakes, coffees and teas. this cafe is licensed for alcohol and wine is sold.

The food quality is average to good, although overall it shows little inspiration or individuality. Coffee /tea and cakes are good however.

the outside seating area (click left hand picture to enlarge) seems to have been forgotten as far as style is concerned. A few metal chairs scattered just outside the main cafe with a very unattractive view to one side.

The range of house plants for sale was the most extensive we have seen at a Dobbies garden centre. the plants were in good condition and at average prices.

The indoor sales area occupies at least half of the sales area at this branch of Dobbies. It sells the usual comprehensive range of gifts, cards and books.

It also has a good range of conservatory and outdoor furniture. Barbecues are well featured as well. The range of garden accessories and tools is comprehensive.

The aquatics centre stocks a very good range of tropical and fresh water fish, feeds, tanks and accessories.
In the food hall is an excellent butchers shop, cheese shop and lots of delicatessen foods.
