Garden - Aberdeenshire

Lovely restaurant attached to a very eclectic garden centre.There are 2 areas for eating ,a cafe style and a restaurant.We ate in the latter and had the light bite prawn cocktails with pot of tea and ginger beer.The service and food were impeccable and we thoroughly enjoyed it.Highly recommended

I ordered two cappuccinos and both were more milk than coffee. I couldn't taste the coffee and they were almost boiling hot, which made it hard to drink. The Victoria sponge and rock cake were average, but I would have preferred fresh cream over buttercream. Overall, the meal was expensive for the quality we received.

We went for afternoon tea what delightfull time we had. We had a table outside. The wather was sunny. We had time to choose which fillings we wished in our sandwiches. Which was fresh made. As a group of 3 we shared our sandwiches their was Sausage roll as well . We had a scone with cream raspberry jam. We also had the choice of caramel slices, chocolate kraknel, victoria sponge, baby meringue strawberry tarts. 3 of each so we didnt have to fight over the choices. Plenty of coffee to wash it all down as well. We could not fault it at all. This has got to be one of our better choice of places to have afternoon tea. Im sure we will be back.

This was our third visit to this establishment, but our first time dining at the restaurant. Despite the busy atmosphere, we were seated promptly. To our surprise, a kind staff member approached us, as a fellow diner had mistakenly reported that we were dissatisfied with our table. We assured her that this was not the case, but we were impressed by her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction. After some friendly conversation, we enjoyed a delicious and well-prepared snack lunch served by efficient, friendly, and attentive staff. We also had a pleasant time browsing the shop, with staff members providing helpful assistance as we made several purchases. Overall, it was an excellent dining and shopping experience, thanks to the wonderful staff.

This garden centre used to have a cafe which was a nice place to have a light lunch rather than taking up a table in the restaurant just to have soup and a sandwich. Now they’ve take up three quarters of the cafe space with shelves of overpriced fancy goods, leaving 5 or 6 tables for lunch customers. We went there to have lunch and buy some items for the garden but all the tables were full and there was a sizeable queue waiting to pick up food from the serving area. We left to have lunch and buy the garden items at the excellent Mains of Drum and won’t be going back to Raemoir again.
