Guess who's turning one tomorrow? Cannot believe that has been a year already. Time has flown by. We would like to thank of our lovely customers. Also our amazing staff who have all put in so much hard work.
If you're about tomorrow pop in for a hello and help us celebrate. I wonder if we can get hold of a cake. 😉

We are busy here working on our hibernation bod's. Kelly's homemade toffee apple crumbles and Bakewell tarts are far too tempting!

Good morning all! Oh I love the smell of fresh baked scones. Today we are serving plain, fruit and cherry. Lush with a dollop of clotted cream. Yummmmm...

Good morning all. It's Sunday and you know what that means... roast day. Today we are serving roast beef with all the trimmings. Yummmmm...

Went for lunch today first time visiting and definitely be back food was great service was very good friendly and lovely staff! Couldn't fault the place 1 bit can't wait to come back for desert but the food was that good i was full �

We've been visiting once or twice a week for the past few months either for breakfast or afternoon tea. The table service is always efficient and attentive. I often (always!) change a couple of items from the scottish breakfast - nothing is ever too much trouble.



The scones - good size, not mean with the fruit and wonderfully light....best I have tasted and I lived in Cornwall for over 20 years and have eaten a lot of scones! This is one of the few places that advertises that they have clotted cream to serve with the scones AND actually have some when you ask for it.



The afternoon tea is excellent value for money and in my opinion, is far superior to the one from a well known St. Andrews hotel that's twice the price and half the quality.

We were in for lunch today was very good well worth the drive from Glasgow service was excellent

Visited today, fantastic food, plenty to choose from, staff lovely and helpful, portions so generous we took cakes home for teatime. Highly recommend a visit.

Visited here for the first time yesterday. Menu varied and great for those of us watching what we eat. The baked potatoes are definitely baked in oven .. creamy flesh and crispy skin! My friend had a humongous panini and salad. Everything was so fresh and served with a smile from the friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. We finished off with a massive fresh meringue. I bought an extra one for a colleague who made me share it with him!!! The coffee is aromatic and we had two cups each..... says it all I think. We will definitely be returning.

PS the restaurant is very clean and fresh.

This has become one of the nicest places around. The food is varied and of an exceptionally high standard. The bonus for me is that I have an elderly relative who is very frail and the staff treat him as if he is Royalty nothing is too much bother, they make a big fuss of him which he loves. The icing on the cake is..... Drm roll �... The cakes!!!!

Service with a smile and friendly banter. Food looks and tastes amazing. Happy to visit this establishment on a regular basis.

Popped in for a Monday afternoon treat. Staff were great and really accommodating weighing the cake for my boy so we could work out the carbs for his insulin :)

My parents visited for the first this time week, and throughly enjoyed their meal. If I didn't live 290 miles away, I would also visit!

Lovely location within an excellent garden centre firstly; the restaurant is a credit to the place by being tastefully decorated, quiet though catering for families - indoor and outdoor eating area so dog friendly too. Staff are great - welcoming and obliging. They cater so well for all, including being attentive and considerate for disabled visitors.

The food is fantastic and served imaginatively and most importantly hot!

The cakes are something to behold all on their own. A great team obviously.

Hubby and i just been in for the full breakfast and it was fab, very tasty and great value for money. Kirsty and the girls were very helpful and the atmosphere was really relaxed and friendly. Oh and 10 out of 10 for the trendy new look/revamp it looks amazing

Great friendly service from all the staff as you walk in the door to the time you leave.

Food options for everyone's needs, well presented and tastes amazing.

Such a happy and relaxed atmosphere, highly recommend.

Good fresh food and tasty sweets. The friendliest staff. Can't wait to go back.

First contact was a bit slow. However once order was taken it arrived quickly. Food was great and the service was excellent

Fantastic cheese burger with chips and coleslaw. We also had great coffees and there is no way we were leaving without having a cake. All beautifully presented. Wonderful staff, so friendly. Please visit it's well worth it. See you again soon.

Absolutely fantastic little place to have a bite to eat. The staff were very friendly especially the way they interacted with my 7 month old son. Good price for the quality of food and the service was amazing. Cannot credit the place enough and will definitely be back.

A great place to eat, whether it be for coffee and a cake or a roast dinner. The service is always friendly, efficient and attentive. I highly recommend it!

Visit this wee restaurant often. Very clean and staff are very friendly always. Well worth a visit. Carrot cake to die for.

A lovely visit to the gardeners rest yesterday with a friend. Very helpful and friendly staff, good choice of food, lovely tasting and generous helpings. A nice choice for gluten free customers like myself. Shared a massive meringue with my friend. Went home very full. Your cheesecakes looked amazing. Let me know if you ever decide to make one with a gluten free biscuit base - I'll be there :)
