I rang the Snowley Parade Dorringtons this morning to see if they had a chocolate sandwich buttercream cake. The woman who I spoke to was helpful and put a cake aside for me. When I arrived at Dorring... See more

prices in the vans are very high and scrimp on the fillings as well after numerous discussions still a year later nothing has been done by the portion of fillings places into baguettes and sandwich's no bagels in this place as well and poor veg selection kept on vans only really doing bacon mainly seems to be 70percent of what they stock in the vans. directors take note don't scrimp on your fillings.

BYO cup
Hello I was in hatfield Heath today and was surprised when bringing my own mugs that neither would the manager rinse them under the tap (due to covid restrictions - which I can loosely understand) however I was shocked that there was no cost reduction for bringing my own cups. This is not setting a good example for the environment and educating / supporting your customers around best practice. I wondered what your policy is re bring your own cup and if you considered joining your competition such as Starbucks, Costa, Nero and the likes who all adjust their prices accordingly.

Ordered the 3-day notice chocolate brownie cake for my daughters birthday. On the Dorrington's website the cake is shown with a gold finish on top. In reality, I received a plain brown cake with no gold and merely a series of lines scored in the top, presumably as they thought I needed help deciding how to cut the cake! The manager unhelpfully offered to send it back to their bakery to finish the cake, but as I needed it today that was no good. I requested a discount for the unfinished cake but this was refused. Annoyingly I could have bought a dull brown cake anywhere for substantially less money. As it was I had to pay in full and buy more decorations to make it look better. Rubbish service and wouldn't recommend.

AMAZING 21 birthday cake
I asked Dorringtons to make a birthday cake for my daughters 21 st
The woman I spoke to was extremely helpful, I told her what my daughter likes which is seahorses and an ocean theme
She suggested a blue waves cake with bluey macaroons and sugar work seahorses
It sounded amazing but I wasn’t sure how it would turn out , but WOW it surpassed my expectations and looked stunning
It also tasted delicious
I couldn’t have asked for a better cake and it made daughters birthday extra special .
I also ordered some sandwich platters which were so well made , very fresh and tasty
Can’t thank dorringtons enough and highly recommend
