If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

If you head to your local Dobbies Garden Centre restaurant (find your nearest store), kids can eat for free when an adult main meal is purchased (£8.95-£11.75). There's no code needed, this is automatically applied to your bill.
This deal is available daily from restaurant opening time, but this may vary depending on location. There is currently no end date for this offer but we’ll update you here if that changes.
Kids can choose from the children's breakfast and lunch menu, which includes hot food, as well as the pick & mix box – both are served with a drink. Kids' meals usually cost £5.20. There's no limit to how many free meals can be claimed either, so for every adult main meal purchased, one free kids' lunch main or box is redeemable.
This offer is not available in any of the 'Little Dobbies' stores, and the following Dobbies’ stores: Andover, Lelant, Marple, Reading, York and Anchorwood.

Dobbies FREE cake
For Priority customers
ExpiredIf you’re an O2 or Virgin Media customer, you can get a totally free cake at Dobbies Garden Centre cafés (find your nearest store), via the Priority app. This is available seven days a week during café open hours from café opening time until Tuesday 20 December, while stocks last. There's no minimum spend required, this is a total freebie.
This offer is available at 67 Dobbies Garden Centres nationwide. It told us you should check participating locations before visiting. Dobbies told us cake would usually cost between £2.60-£3.75.
How to get it
Both Virgin Media broadband and O2 customers can use the Priority app to access perks and rewards. If you haven't got the app already, you can download it for iPhone and Android, and sign up for free. Virgin Media customers can register using the email address linked to their Virgin Media account, while O2 customers can register using their mobile number.
Once you've logged into your account, you can access the Priority offers. The app will provide you with a unique code that you can then show in the café when ordering. You must display it live from the Priority app – screenshots won't be accepted.
The offer excludes: Christmas drizzle cake, cream scone, mince pie cheesecake, Bad Boy Biscoff doughnut, Homer doughnut, Red Velvet doughnut and We Be Jammin doughnut.
This offer is valid for one transaction and can only be used once. It cannot be used alongside any other offer or voucher, including Dobbies Club vouchers.

Dobbies £5 off £25 spend
Valid with newspaper voucher. In store only
ExpiredIf you buy any of the following newspapers on Sunday 7 August – Daily Star Sunday (£1.30), Sunday Mail (£1.90), Sunday Express (£2.10) or Sunday Mirror (£2.10) – you will find a voucher for £5 off a £25 spend in store at Dobbies Garden Centre (find your nearest). As you’ll need to spend £1.30-£2.10 to get the £5 voucher, this deal works best if you were going to buy one of those newspapers anyway.
This voucher is only available in printed editions of the newspapers and can be redeemed from Sunday 7 August until stores close on Friday 19 August. Each voucher can only be used once, and is valid in-store only at all Dobbies and Little Dobbies across the UK.
Dobbies Garden Centre told us the voucher can't be used as a spend in the foodhall, or for gift cards, gift food, alcohol, Club Plus membership, services, Calor gas and purchases from concession partners. It also can't be used alongside on sale items or any other offer or voucher, including Club Plus membership events or team member discount.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link. For more details, read How this site is financed.

Martin Lewis: Five things all new English university starters should know
4 September 2023![]()
The 2023 academic year is about to start, and it'll see the biggest shake-up to student finance in England for a decade. The changes are both subtle and massive. On the surface they look like a tweak, in practice they will increase the eventual cost of going to university by over 50% for many typical graduates.
