Craigend Garden Centre

This is a lovely clean garden centre cafeteria with a good menu of freshly prepared food. Friendly staff and good service, with the benefit of garden centre, gift shop and kiddies beach area all on site. A bit out of the beaten track but well worth a visit.

Regularly visit and food and service always lovely. All freshly made food and a nice location into the bargain. My dad, in his 90s, goes with different family members when visiting and enjoys the fish and chips and a wee chat with staff and owners. Happily recommend for a relaxing lunch.

During our first visit to the cafe, we found the food to be good. However, the staff and service need improvement. The young girl who served us lacked manners and did not offer any pleasantries such as "thank you". She had an unwelcoming demeanor and appeared unhappy. Based on the poor customer service, I would not recommend this cafe and do not plan to return.

We have visited Craig end on numerous occasions. We do a 3.6 mile walk to get there, have something to eat then 3.6 mile walk home. When we got there today all good having worked up a hunger. I had the lasagne the wife had the burger. Lasagne was full of cheese hardly any mince. Burger was thin over cooked. Very disappointing not up to usual standards. On this showing we won't be rushing back.

We live not too far away visit every now then. Unfortunately it's never a nice experience. There's always a funny atmosphere, maybe music would help. When we were in today the blinds were pretty far down so it was hard to look out at the lovely countryside. The young girl who served us today was very competent but most staff looked unhappy we were completely ignored by the ? manager when we tried to pay. She was intent on finishing her private conversation rather than serving us. On a positive note, the cakes were nice.

We've visited a few times and we love it here, we regularly have a breakfast hubby has a giant fry up its massive, I always have porridge and toast we always have great service the girls are amazing and so friendly, we have also had lunch a few times too absolutely everything is freshly made to order cakes are amazing too nothing is shop bought all baked on the premises all dietary requirements are catered for and the garden center has some lovely plants I got my Christmas wreaths here I loved the giant ball wreath it was stunning

On a 'normal ' Sunday run out for Coffee Cake, we struggled to find somewhere due to pre booking and C-19. Anyway we called in advance and booked a table for an hours time.Having lived less than 6 miles from this venue for 20 years, it was great to find somewhere new to visit.Friendly staff, a great location in the country.A fine selection of main meals , sides, snacks , sandwiches and drinks.We took the soup of the day (Potato Leak) each and a Chicken,Bacon,Brie Cranberry Sandwich. Washed down with a cappuccino, accompanied by an empire biscuit. Ok, so we done lunch and so glad we did. Food was fresh hot and we are looking forward to our next visit

We had a wonderful afternoon with our family at Craigend on a hot summer day! Located near Cumbernauld, south of the M73, this garden centre was a nice place to visit. We enjoyed the large sand pit, where our oldest child could play and have fun (there was a £5 child entry fee). The sand pit was filled with toys that kept him entertained for about an hour. However, the cleanliness of the tables was disappointing as there was leftover food from previous visitors that wasn't promptly cleared. The food itself was delicious with generous portions and good value for money. I ordered a Chicken Pickle Panini with a Side Salad and a Cappuccino, and was satisfied with my meal. The garden centre was w...

My experience at the beach restaurant with my 11-month-old and 2-year-old looking for lunch was disappointing. There was minimal interaction from the staff, just a quick request for payment. I felt that basic questions like 'Have you been here before?' and 'How old are your children?' should have been asked. The tables were dirty with what looked like ketchup on the highchairs and table, so I had to clean them myself. I had to ask another customer how to order food and was directed to the restaurant, where I had to wait to be seated but got ignored. I ended up walking to the till to place my order. The woman who assisted me was pleasant and patient, but I was told that my food would be serve...
