A garden centre in Surrey is set to open a vibrant new cottage kitchen garden style food hall at its Woodcote Green store in Wallington.
Opening on Thursday (February 12), the new artisan shop at Dobbies will feature more than 2,000 products, plus have its own butcher’s counter and deli foods area.
There will be a wide selection of biscuits for cheese, sharing bags of crisps and snacks, nuts and dried fruits, plus a pantry section with foods from around the world.
There will also be premium frozen food ranges, with brands including Cook, FieldGoods and award-winning Supper Club, and ice cream from Jude’s.
Dobbies’ famous scones and tray bakes will continue to be available, as well as a host of new brands like Botham’s of Whitby and Patteson’s.
Sweet treats will be prominent with Bonbons, Lindt and Tony’s Chocolonely on a delicious display.
The ranges of gift foods will increase with a broader selection of alcohol and premium soft drinks, with everything from gin gift packs to all-natural handmade beverages from Hullabaloo.
To mark the first weekend of opening, sampling of some of the new products will be available at various times, and one lucky customer through the doors will win a hamper filled with selected products.
Jon Hoare, general manager at Dobbies’ Woodcote Green, said: “The food hall is one of the most popular areas in the store and an important part of our garden centre experience.
“We’ve been working hard on the new format that’s inspired by a cottage kitchen garden and brings together essentials, treats and seasonal variety through a range of both popular and new brands.
“We’re excited to welcome customers in to see the new ranges and try them for themselves.”
Woodcote Green is one of Dobbies’ first stores to transform its food hall with a further 47 stores planned in the coming weeks, offering customers the opportunity to discover and celebrate great food.
There will be introductory offers including 30% off Farmhouse biscuits and Belgid’Or chocolates and 20% off Coolmore cakes, and favourite brands like Fever Tree and Savoursmiths, until March 31.
Address: Dobbies Garden Centre Woodcote Green, Woodmansterne Lane, Wallington, SM6 0SU.
