Auchlochan Bistro in South Lanarkshire

The Vegetarian Nut Roast with Mashed Potatoes and selected vegetables (2) is scrumptious to the taste and I have had this a few times sometimes with petit pois and other times with carrots and cabbage. The sauce is just the right amount and very tasty. This dish is Mouth watering food with Gourmet Master Chef Presentation!

Well situated in this retirement village and it's a hub of the community which is so important . The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent value for money. The prawn cocktail , soups . Macaroni cheese, salmon fillet and scampi all good.

We drive up and down frequently to Aberdeen from Birmingham and are always too focused on getting to the destination. This time, we took a short detour and sat with exquisite views enjoying exquisite food. So glad we did.

The Auchlochan Bistro is set in a retirement village and I have eaten there often when visiting my Mother in Law. As they are mainly catering for the elderly, you would expect a "Home Fair" level of cooking. Not today. There new bistro menu contains Haggis stuffed breast of Chicken in a peppercorn sauce. I ordered it and it came with diced carrots broccoli and creamy mashed potatoes. I have eaten in many fine dining restaurants but would compare todays offering with many meals I have eaten. It was delicious. It was made to order and arrived within 15 minutes.

On my Sunday afternoon walk I sometimes stop by the Bistro in Auchlochan Garden Village. It makes probably the best latte in Lesmahagow together with outstanding homemade cakes.

Huge poster advertising lovely coffee & gateau - for £3.50 sounded great - so we ordered from the cake selection and coffees only to be told the 'cake of the day' was a very slim slice of madeira loaf ? Nothing on the poster indicated any 'deal of the day' restrictions - only the time, between 2-5pm (which was within our timing). When we queried the bill (quite a lot larger than expected) - we were told we could always put them back. When I mentioned the huge poster - they said it SHOULD have said 'cake of the day' ???? Disappointed at the couldn't care less attitude- and no appropriate customer service - Shame Auchlochan - your whole ethos is based on 'kindness and compassion' - (and honesty!)

waited for 15 minutes whilst various members of staff wandered about and eventually had to go and ask if an order could be placed. Staff on the whole friendly and efficient - the young girl with dark hair should take note!!!

Bistro is in a retirement village, with a care home so many of the residents, many with visiting families were eating there. My mother lives locally and has been many times but this was my first visit. Staff very friendly and helpful. It was very busy the day we went and service was a little slow, but it was not a problemGood menu choice and reasonably priced. We went on a Saturday but noticed they offer a Sunday roast dinner for £5.95, which seemed very reasonable. Food was very nice and generous portion sizeAlso a lovely walled garden nearby for a gentle walk after your meal

My friend and I were visiting Auchlochan to see the gardens which are well worth the trip by the way. We spent a lovely couple of hours enjoying the walled garden and grounds and decided to go for lunch in the bistro since we were there. The service was friendly and helpful and the food good. We had toasted sandwiches which came with a nice salad and crisps followed by coffee. The bistro is also the dining room for residents of Auchlochan, and it did feel a bit awkward as if we were interloping on lunch time for the residents there. It was handy to eat there while we were visiting but not somewhere to go out of the way to eat at especially for a special dinner.

El personal es agradable y muy servicial. La comida era buena y muy bien presentada, y razonables. Los jardines son simplemente divinos. . . Qué entorno encantador en el que comer o tomar un café.Esto fue bueno, porque el interior olía demasiado a un comedor escolar, y no podría haber alojado a comer

Una pequeña joya escondida en el extremo superior de Lesmahagow. El personal es muy amable y el menú de bistro ofrece gran variedad y la comida sabe muy bien.Misma calidad que muchos de los centros de jardín, pero la mitad de precio.Lo único es, el macarrones con queso no es lo que solía ser. Solía venir como un plato preparado con un horno placa separada de patatas fritas. Ahora está en una placa junto con una porción de papas fritas. Aún sabe muy bien, pero me gustaría que preparar y servir como solían hacer. !Gran variedad y calidad, y sin duda lo recomiendo.

Met up with family for a lovely lunch in beautiful surroundings. Wait staff were very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely go again.

Only tried this Bistro once but it was a little disappointing. Will try again to be sure I am not underselling it.

Highly recommended place to visit for realistically priced Sunday lunch. Although in a care home surrounding area its homely charm is nice with friendly staff . Homemade desserts and cakes were a treat Will be back

Great hearty traditional food at realistic prices. Nicely made and friendly staff Sunday lunch is very nice

La comida es buena y el personal es agradable.

Great afternoon tea with my nan great service and nice atmosphere . Friendly service with great selection of hot food and snacks....must try the homemade scones they were lush

Habiendo tenido una riquísima comida previamente decidimos volver a la Auchlochan Bistro en otro Amazon oferta local. habría sido mejor tener la izquierda nuestra visita previa como un recuerdo agradable. Mi marido comenzó con tomate y albahaca sopa, y dijo que era muy agradable, de hecho he probado, y estaba. Tuve lo que tenían en el menú como paté ordinarios de granja pero en su lugar fue un suave Bruselas tipo que no habría elegido si hubiera sabido que no era lo que había en el menú. Tenía un tomate Chutney que estaba muy bien y algunos mini tortas. Para los platos principales que tuvimos (mi marido) lasaña y patatas fritas (yo) pollo en salsa de crema de mostaza. La lasaña habían perdido completamente con cualquier sazonar pero las patatas fritas estaban bien. Mi pollo se suponía que iba a ser estofados piernas pero rodajas de pollo de pechuga de pollo llegamos. acompañamientos eran puré de patatas con puerros, sólo había sobre una cucharada de esto, fue una extraña color amarillo y verde tenían ese crujientes textura crujiente de puré congelada calentado durante mucho tiempo en un microondas y toda la natación en una fina salsa . Así que, tal vez había tan poco de la patata fue una bendición. Se suponía que vienen con 'verduras del jardín" pero no vegetales, jardín variedad o de lo contrario, hace su aparición. La última vez que estuvimos allí nos estaban tan lleno en esta etapa nos pasó en un flan pero eso no era la situación en la actualidad. Mi marido me fui con Apple crumble y pedí pegajosa pudding toffees. Había una variedad de color crema, helado o crema pastelera. Ambos nos pidió crema, pero nos dijeron que no había ninguno. Así, ambos fuimos para natilla. camarera hizo una cara, y dijo que lo compruebe si había cualquier después me decía que 'su viene con una salsa de todos modos' mmmmmm! Ella nunca apareció, así que supuse que el crema pastelera era un hospedándote. platos llegamos, mi marido tenía crema pastelera pero tenía helado, que no habría elegido porque no como el helado y que había informado a la camarera. Mi esposo me dijo estar agradecido no me el crema pastelera ya que era repugnante, como piscina climatizada con crema pastelera confiteros. Nos comimos los flanes y estaban bien. habríamos tenido café, pero el servicio fue increíblemente lento, así que después de estar 15 minutos esperando a otro servicio que justo a la izquierda. Mi marido dejó una propina, pero si no hubiera sido por mí el consejo habría sido una nota leyendo 'recoger su juego! ».

Happy to visit here regularly when looking for a nice lunch. Good menu with reasonable prices, spacious seating, bright interior and friendly staff. Some nice gifts and cards available to purchase in aid of charity. Happy to recommend. And if the weathers good, then enjoy the grounds!

We visited for lunch. Service was extremely slow and food was only just passable. We waited nearly an hour for our cold starters and a further 30 minutes to get the main course. There is a lovely bright restaurant space which advertises as a bistro. It's really more of a cafe / dinning room which serves the retirement home. It's fine for a coffee or to take family who are residents, but not to have a meal as a social occasion.

My wife and I had afternoon tea yesterday using an Amazon voucher.This was the best afternoon tea we have ever had. There was so much food we could not finish it, beautiful sandwiches, scones and cakes and a glass full of sweets. The staff were superb and made a great effort to make our visit special. We finished our visit with a walk through the beautiful walled garden. We will certainly visit again.

We visited here today with an Amazon voucher for the three course meal. We both had the mackerel mousse as a starter and it was beautiful. My husband had macaroni cheese and chips which he was most impressed with, the macaroni was very cheesy and the chips were home made. I had liver in a red wine sauce with sautéed potato and it was very tasty. Portions were more than generous and I am sorry to say we couldn't do justice to a pudding but the choices looked great - I was all set for the sticky toffee pudding but it will need to wait for another time, We had two cappuccinos made with Illy coffee and very nice they were too. After our meal we went for a walk round the walled garden and it was absolutely beautiful, then we wandered over to the loch which was populated with swans, coots, moorhens and a variety of ducks plus a handful of black headed gulls. Also saw squirrels, pity they were grey :-( A small selection of dishes which were cooked and presented well. We will be back. Oh yes, can't forget to mention the staff who were friendly and attentive.

A nice placed to visit in a beautiful scenic spot. Food was well cooked and served beautifully. Would definatly go back
