Dobbies Garden Centre - scone selection (2014)

Compared to Huntingdon Garden & Leisure, Dobbies is the garden centre of your dreams. Yes, they do…read morehave a cafe and a deli area complete with bakery and chocolate counter, but they also have that special something - oh yes, they have plants! When we visited, it was a bit of a sad sight as they were selling off the remainders of Christmas stock, including bags upon bags of cinnamon scented pine cones. Although this was taking up much of the room and wasn't in the most organised of states, there were plenty of staff around and all seemed to have at least half a smile on their face. The cafe is of a good standard, though the tables and eating areas could have done with a quick wipe down. The cakes are something to behold, and the scone selection rather vast - however, I went for a sweet chilli chicken panini. You get one of those terrifying buzzer things which goes off when your food is ready, and I happily tucked in to the simple-yet-satisfying sandwich. Plants are available inside and outside, meaning you don't have to full venture out in to the wind and rain to pick up something to brighten your house or garden with. A Dobbies card will allow you certain discounts and the occasional free tea or coffee. A good place to wander around - and finally see some plants.

I like Dobbies. Coffee is good and cakes look…read moregreat...although today I managed to resist. I like their poorly plants ... available at a discount, their book section, their special offers and the fact there is always plenty of parking. Somewhere to while away a gloomy Sunday.

Screwfix first became famous for their mail order business. But with delivery charges at £5,…read moresometimes that is not economical, Thankfully they have opened up branches of counters. 135 in all in the UK, Peterborough is just one of them. Think Wickes meets Argos and you wil have a good idea of what this place is like. To purchase anything, they have catlogues on benches. You fill in a slip with the part number and quanitity of what you want. You then pay at a desk where they check the stock level and then await it to arrive at another counter, a la Argos. It is handy and quiet useful, as if they do not have the item in stock, they will tell you when it is due in and you can pay and reserve the item there and then. Pricewise, they tend to be very competitive compared to the nearby Wickes store and are cheaper than Homebase. They also keep almost anything you would want from a builder's merchants, including work wear and sat navs. I use the website to see prices and then if they are the,most competitive, drop by and get the article I am interested in.

It is excellent that there is a Screwfix on the outskirts of Peterborough. I can look at what I…read morewant from the comfort of my own home on the internet and then pop straight there and get it. It saves on the delivery charge and means that I can get it straight away. The staff are always very helpful there and advise on what you need for the particular job that you are doing. I thought I needed a certain item and they advised that actually a less expensive item would do just fine and would possibly work even better for my needs. I recommend other people visiting here if they need anything for DIY!
