Brookside Garden Centre in South Lanarkshire

Great food and brilliant, friendly and helpful staff 👍👍

Returned a few times here while back home on holiday from Niagara Falls 🇨🇦 Great place for lunch or just to relax having a coffee. Always great service and the place is spotless. Love the new addition and extension of the place since 2.5yrs ago. Food is still how I remembered it to be, my new favorite thing is the delicious 😋 treacle scone, to die for as well as the coffee drinks 🫠 I also wanted to try the burger and Mac & Cheese so ordered kids portions to try. Did not disappoint 🙌 Great Garden Centre to explore with lots of great items to purchase. Lots of free parking as well 👌 there is also now a play area for kids to keep busy .

Fab wee garden centre, can bring kids as there's a play area, dogs allowed and cafe fantastic. Really enjoyed it

Lovely garden centre. The food has greatly increased in price which is understandable but the quality of the ingredients has fallen.

Very nice small garden centre. Helpful, friendly staff. Nice-looking (I didn't try it) cafeteria.

The food is good and reasonably priced. Service is also good. The shop is decent but a little bit on the small side, split between garden/patio furniture and gifts. The outdoor section is also relatively small. It has a decent selection of plants, trees, etc., along with indoors and outdoor pots, as well as other outdoor supplies.

Perfect coffee and cake. Ice cream amazing. Staff very friendly and efficient.

Amazing cakes, lovely staff. The best cheesecakes I have ever had.

Lovely friendly staff and excellent food.

Has lunch in cafe. Food good and reasonably priced. Shop prices a bit steep but they always are at garden centres.

To many things for garden , and so many of plants to choose

My Husband and I visit Brookside Garden Centre regularly. The Staff are all very friendly both in the Cafe and in the shop. Food is very good. The only thing letting this place down are the toilets. They could really do with a make-over especially now that the tearoom has been extended as there are lots more people using them.

Food and drinks were lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only suggestion I would make for the cafe is, maybe have a more streamlined checkout process. It was more than a little chaotic working out who was next, where to pay and we had one person doing our food and drinks. Just an idea but maybe have a rotation where all staff do a bit of everything? Everyone was so helpful, I am not complaining, just making a suggestion. The staff in the garden centre were friendly too. We will be back soon to sample the ice creams 🍦🍧🍨. If the cakes are anything to go by, the ice creams will be amazing!

Had a great day at the Christmas open day. The kids loved it. Food at the cafe is amazing. They have gluten free and dairy free. They have wheelchair access throughout

Lots of choice, prices aren't too bad

Really nice garden centre with a cafe area inside which does hot food, drinks and cakes. You are able to take dogs in which is extremely helpful if you don’t want your furry friend missing out. They will happily accommodate to allow for dogs to have something to eat (we got scrambled egg for our dog). Food selection has a wide range which is why I like going (especially with the option of curly fries). They offer a range of sandwiches, paninis and other meals as well as a kids meal section. There is also the garden centre area attached which has a variety of items within it. Staff are also extremely friendly.

Had a lovely lunch here with some friends. Soup was delicious.

Went today with my mum and sister - they had a nice lunch, I was so disappointed myself - I asked for Macaroni Cheese, I have no idea what was included in the dish - it was mustard or chicken stock cube, it was not good. Also and more importantly not stated. The colour alone put me off, staff were nice, never again though…

Lovely place, shopping and cafe, good food, nice friendly atmosphere

Great stock and all their Christmas decorations are half price

Good service, good atmosphere & the cheesecake is superb...

Excellent place to visit, staff are very welcoming and the cafe is fabulous

Dog friendly..staff friendly..good food

Good range of dishes for breakfast and lunch. pleasant atmosphere

Excellent breakfast, lunch portion was a bit dubious mac and cheese should be double the amount as its a very cheap dish to prepare.

Nice place to meet friends For gifts and cafe good

Love this garden centre got everything you need for the garden and more.

Great range of garden plants and accessories the staff were very helpful when I needed help locating a plant

Lovely local garden centre with friendly staff and fantastic cafe. It's been great watching the garden centre improvements over the last few years. Great place to visit with kids as there is a small soft play area cafe is also dog friendly and accessible to wheelchair users x Great breakfast and helpful, friendly staff.

Great place for a nice, reasonably priced lunch.

Just had a wander round will return another day to try out the tea room. Was recommended by husbands colleague.

Nice little garden centre that was busy, they have very nice garden and conservatory furniture here.

Wide variety of anything u need garden related. The cafe is a nice spot to get some lovely homemade soup. Staff very friendly. Sheltered tables outside also so u can take ur dog

Went here for lunch on 23 July, we often pop down for lunch on a Sunday. To say we were disappointed is and understatement. I ordered a highlander burger, this came on a small plate with 12 chips max, also prawn sandwich I counted 4 prawns, the rest was sauce. The soup was nice, also got 2 cans of juice and a milkshake. It cost £27. I do not grudge paying what it cost but I like to get value for my money. I will not be back.

Still one of the best coffee shops in the valley!

Enjoyed it very much. Food was nice and staff very friendly. Busy place.. A good sign

Had lunch and it was very nice and staff very nice and helpful

Quality of plants purchased absolutely top drawer.

Nice place to have to fall back on when you just want to have somewhere to grab a bite to eat, catch your breath and have a chat. Good food at decent prices with friendly and accommodating staff.

Lovely food, homemade cakes dog friendly

Their soup and a sandwich deal is good. Their soups have always been nice anytime I have had them. Staff are nice and helpful.

Everything and more from plants, to garden furniture to garden ornaments to confectionery to a fabulous inexpensive restaurant.. lots of parking available

Lovely wee garden centre to visit. Great hot chocolate and lovely food. Service was with a smile 😃

Friendly staff and good service and food

Lovely soup and sandwich, mac cheese was bland but Lovely staff and great garden centre

Great place to shop and rest great eatery and very very helpful and friendly staff.5stars isn't enough

Good quality and reasonably priced food. Personable and friendly staff. Some gardening products appear expensive compared to the bigger companies, but that is only to be expected when you lack the buying clout of those bigger buyers. However, this is more than offset by a knowledgeable and happy-to-help attitude.

Most folk come for the newly extended cafe, but there's a decent selection of gardening tools and supplies as well as plants for the gardeners and the gardening side is good value.

A great place to go if you're looking for an easy bit to eat with young kids loads of space ...under renovation at present going to look nice once completed....my parents enjoy the wander around the garden centre.

Was only in for a coffee,, which was lovely.

Nice place with a great wee cafe, good for coffee with friends or lunch.

I really think you need to have the outside seating with some heaters or something to keep the cold out. It was snowing I had my boarder terrier with me ,so wasn't allowed in with my dog, I also had about 10 people outside and we where freezing cold. I dnt understand why your not dog friendly 😕, when there are cafes like ronzios in Hamilton and roma in Larkhall that are dog friendly , pretty disappointed given its a garden centre as well .

Great selection, something for everyone. Good value home cooking

Excellent food Excellent staff and reasonable prices in Cafe.

A nice big extension and nice staff. Great for a coffee and cake

For such a small centre they have so much on offer from teas to gardening + .

Smaller garden plant area now with area for household decorations, pictures and vases,etc, plus a large tearoom inside.

The food and service was ok. Still seems like some ways to go to compete with Dobbies or Caulders.

We mainly went in for a small lunch, which was spot on. Food portions were good for the price, and smaller options were available. I hade the chicken tikka panini, it came with a salad and coleslaw. Staff were really friendly, and the joint was clean. The garden center itself was laid out oddly, but it made for a nice little walk around

Nice place to get a lunch and a catch up with friends😁

Food excellent as was table service. Staff welcoming and helpful.

We visited the Brookside Garden looking for something to get rid of snails in my friends garden and found just what she needed.Its an amazing place with everything you'd need for garden or plants 🪴 There's something more there to mention it's worth a visit.They have a nice restaurant as well which we had a lovely snack in.We had salad rolls panninies and a cheese toasties.All.were really good and the serving staff were nice and friendly .

Very pleasant experience and great for a light meal in the extensive restaurant area.

Been recently renovales and well worth a wander around,also has a café on site.

First class, really helpfull staff and great for a wee coffee n a bun..

We're regulars here for lunch, which is excellent and good value. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

What a difference with the new extension. Still work ongoing at the moment. Very friendly staff and good selection of food.

Was very busy when we visited the restaurant. Staff seemed to be overwhelmed with the orders. Long waiting times for food to be brought to the table. They got our food order wrong and some of the food was almost cold by the time we got it.

Nice panini, friendly staff- renovation work going on

Excellent service and the most magnificent coffee - best I have tasted in a local cafe. Shout out to Paula who delivered first class customer service and great preperation of a flat white coffee in a beutiful mug 👍👍👍

Went in for a quick look and ended up buying more plants than I intended. They have a very good range. Great service, helped to the car.

Like brookside nice cafe hoping to see more plants shrubs as time passes

Quite pleasant cafe reasonable prices good food

Stopped in for lunch x had the soup and sandwich combo ...Best I've had in a long time no shortage of filling on lovely fresh bread and the lentil soup ...amazing xx Really friendly staff too, can't fault it .

Really nice place. Wide range of garden furniture to choose from. Great food excellent customer service from the staff. Would Highly Recommend It.
