Caulders Erskine Restaurant in Renfrewshire

Our normal restaurant was closed and we thought we would try out the Caulders Restaurant. The all day breakfast was disgraceful. One piece of cold bacon, a fried egg that had obviously been sitting for ages and a square slice sausage that was off. When asked about the breakfast by a young girl I complained about the sausage and said I wouldn't be back. She came back and said that next time I could change the sausage for something else. This will not happen. I think the chef needs retraining on food hygiene or maybe they should consider a replacement as the food was not up to any standard a competent chef would serve. Seriously consider this establishment if you value your health.

I love all the caulders restaurants but the Erskine one is closest and the one I frequent most. The food has always been fabulous on all my visits and staff are friendly. The only niggle I have is from our most recent visit. I’d asked for a baked potato with cheese and tuna, and the server looked at me like I had 3 heads and was very confused. I was obviously willing to pay any extra costs but just felt a bit embarrassed at her response. Maybe a new member of staff and unsure but other than that, always great. 😊

We were doing a road trip around Scotland and popped into Caulders Erskine. The garden centre was absolutely immaculate and really cosy. Lovely festive feel and a really cute area to have a Xmas selfie. We had fish and chips for lunch followed by a caramel apple pie. The food was amazing and the portions were generous too. The restaurant was newly refurbed and looked beautiful. The staff in store were really lovely in particular Kevin, Lisa and Gosia. Highly recommend paying this place a visit.

Ordered breakfast with my husband- staff were friendly and quick- food came quickly however there was a long black hair in his roll and sausage. Spoke to a member of staff who said sorry but these things happen - NOT the response we expected!!! The roll was taken off the bill but we will definitely not eat there again . Really disappointing when we’ve never had any issues at the Newton Mearns site.

Dropped in with a friend last week. Ordered panini chicken and bacon . Absolutely revolting cold tasteless the chicken was well looked like chicken but was like chewing an elastic band . Salad was off and tomato were revolting. Time to get that place in order . We are young for women but the place was full of elderly people . I was sick later that afternoon and I can’t imagine how elderly people would cope with that . I will absolutely never be back !

Scene setter - had a "posh" lunch in Edinburgh last week - disinterested, rushed and not 100% impressive staff. Popped in to Caulders on a whim - very, very impressed. It was very busy but you just couldn't tell! There was an air of calm that was all-pervading! The (mostly very young) staff simply breezed around being quietly and cheerfully efficient; drinks order - quick, food - quick, bill - quick. Food was excellent - I may actually be the world's foremost expert on Macaroni Cheese - this was genuinely excellent - with added mushrooms! Mrs K had the brie and cranberry Panini - also excellent. I usually hate/ignore a side salad - this was simple, fresh and drizzled and i ate it!"!!! This is obviously a very well run operation, but still very, very friendly! I don't know how they do it!

Disappointing. Ordered 2 paninis, tasteless...One was a chicken club without bacon. Could just about find the couple of bits on onion and tomato and certainly didn't get the taste of any cheeses coming through. Thick piece of chicken , which I don't know how many times I added salt for taste. Basic presentation without the taste. Please visit Rosebank Garden Centre to see how they serve tasty food. Just wished a quick bite and at £22 would not suggest to friends, family and will unfortunately be back. Service was food, but food let it down.

Visited 23/3/23. Very busy in the restaurant at lunchtime. Our toasties were warm and disappointing and tasteless.our complaint to the waitress was .”yeah I lot of people have complained about cold meals.” This really was unacceptable but did not take the complaint further as there was a large group of dinners in annexe /conservatory and the staff were busy with them. Very disappointing as usually meals are well prepared and tasty

A very large comfortable restaurant attached to the garden centre with super views. Service was quick and efficient but fairly corporate not local and super friendly. Seemed to be a lot of staff behind the counter with an average age of 18. My wife’s food was nice and very warm. My Americano was warm but a little lacking in real bean taste. My bacon was a little cold. My beans in the ramican was almost with no heat as if they’d been sitting awaiting the rest of the food. Square sausage was nice but a little skinny. Rolls were over doughy and would have nice to have been offered crispy rolls. I didn’t complain because it was all edible and we were starving having just flew in from Spain. All in all I’d go back but order different food.

I have been here before with no problems however this occasion was terrible . I took my elderly mother for lunch . As soon as we arrived the waitress told us the scampi and haddock were not on the menu as the fryer had packed in . The haddock and scampi was our first choice but fair enough if the fryer was out of commission , try something else . We looked at the menu and chose chicken soup folowed by mince and tatties . Another waitress told us the chicken soup had been changed to cream of cauliflower but that was off and was now cream of mushroom soup, also they had ran out of mince so that was off as well . We settled for mushroom soup followed by a haggis panini for me and a toasted sandwich for my mum . we also asked for two teas . The soup arrived and was just edible , although I had to ask for spoons . The panini was tasteless and my mum's toastie when it eventually arrived was the same . Again I had to ask for cutlery but the service was so slow I had to take cutlery from an adjoining table. A pot of tea for me eventually arrived with a small jug of milk , luckily I don't take milk as I had to ask a waitress for my mum's pot of tea , it arrived with no milk so she had mine . The service that day was terrible , I don't know if something was going on as four or five of the staff were in a huddle in a corner with another person obviously having a debate . I was going to say something at the time but my mum felt sick and went to the toilet , luckily I had bumped into a friend and his wife who helped me with her as she had been sick . The staff in the shop area I cannot fault as they helped out and assured her it was no problem but the cafe was abysmal . I seriously don't think I would ever return to the cafe .

The food looked very nice as it kept appearing from the kitchen on its way to the tables - my choice was not the best, I had Cullen Skink soup. It’s a favourite of mine and I appreciate soup never tastes the same as we all have our own recipes. This was pretty bad though, only nod to Cullen Skink was the tiny piece of potato and smoked haddock. The base was thin and greasy - stock cube? Surely not but if there was any milk or cream in it, well it was no more than a teaspoonful. Sorry to be so negative, but a search on Google will give an authentic recipe for Cullen Skink.

Popped in here for breakfast after a early morning walk. Service and staff excellent. Both had breakfast rolls with tea. Roll and sausage with tattie scone and Roll and sausage with black pudding were both yummy. Would visit again.

We went to Erskine garden centre today for lunch, service was very good. Food was delicious macaroni cheese was very very cheesy very yummy!!!!!! The meringues were huge and superb would definitely recommend

We only intended having a coffee but couldn't resist afternoon tea. First I want to comment on the lovely young guy who took our order. Tall, dark hair - he was so helpful and took the time to explain what was in the sandwiches etc. Credit to your team. The sandwiches and cakes were yummy. Just the right size of meringues, scones with jam and cream. Also cute little empire biscuits and other small cakes. Very good value at £18.95 for the 2 of us. Highly recommended.

We booked a table one week ago, arrived for our Afternoon tea only to be told they did not have a booking they gave us the table right at doorway awful /poor start to our afternoon. My tea was awful The assistant asked me what was wrong with it I told her only to be interupted by a girl who said she was a manager ? she said I could pay 20p for another teabag my tea was cold by this time I said I would have a replacement she gave it to me grudingly and asked if I wanted a another cup I did not enjoy my £40 afternoon tea at all rude supervisor ?

Called in here to look for a specific plant which they didn't have but I get it's the end of season. Tried the cafe, very helpful staff, cakes to die for and all at a reasonable price.

Came in today with my husband for afternoon tea couldn't fault it staff were nice but one girl Ashleigh was lovely , outgoing and friendly and made it an exceptional visit will definetely return soon

My wife and I had been given vouchers for afternoon tea so we phoned in the morning and made a reservation for the two of us in the Conservatory that afternoon. When we arrived at the arranged time we were told that our names “were not in the book”, but we were found space in the 2/3rds full Conservatory. On checking my phone I found that they did have WiFi but on requesting the password I was abruptly told that it was not given out to the public. We were handed menus describing the available sandwiches and we wrongly assumed that we could have a selection. Wrong - one sandwich each! To drink I chose a coffee, and my wife being unable to drink coffee or tea chose a plain hot chocolate. The egg sandwich and tuna sandwich were very good as were the accompanying scones, meringues and cakes. One female staff member was pleasant, the others were rather offhand. We had made them aware that we would settle up with the gift vouchers, displayed on the table, but when we made to leave we were advised that the hot chocolate was 50p extra. We thought this extremely petty so we reacted in kind and reduced the gratuity by 50p. So there!

這裡環境超好，有很美麗的花園，很特別！很多人來這裡買花，順便在這裡吃午飯或者喝一杯咖啡，我們點了法式麵包，配上飲料。

We were staying at a local hotel room only and popped in here for breakfast.Good breakfast, decent service and pleasant staff.Perfect for our needs.

Return visit. Dined in the conservatory area. Service very good. Our order was promptly delivered to our table. Excellent value for money, choice of home baked cakes stunning. Presentation of food delightful. Staff and service exceptional Will go back soon.

Was extremely busy when I went for lunch today but plenty of staff who were attentive and found us a table. The conservatory is nice to sit in if you get the choice like we did. Good quality food and cakes at decent prices. Good atmosphere and mix of customers. Was impressed.

We received a voucher for Caulders and went for high tea, very pleased visit and as you will see from the picture more than enough to feed 2, the sandwiches were lovely, and the sweet selection was just right up my street, to totally enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly, thanks guys

Excellent purvey. Freshly made to order. Excellent selection of sandwiches and small cakes plus scones and meringues. Will come back .

I enjoyed the service, ambience and quality of the full Scottish breakfast at Caulders Erskine Restaurant. Should I return to the area, Caulders can count on my patronage.

Situated at the back of the garden centre shop this is your typical restaurant you find in most good garden centre's. Friendly staff, very clean, nice selection of cakes and a good place for coffee. Not cheap but quality of place good.

Plenty of tables and servers. Menu good with daily specials. I had an issue with my soup, the server took it away and brought a replacement, I was told, felt like a ticking off, “ the manager said there is nothing wrong with the soup “ all else was good.

Caulders is a great place to eat whether it is just a coffee and cake (great selection) or a big breakfast or lunch, you will get friendly, efficient service and high quality food. The plant pot lights are good touch. Caulders itself is a brilliant garden centre with not only gardening items but a large giftware and clothing section. Always friendly, attentive staff in rhe garden centre and the shop floor. Clean toilets too.

Its great to visit a local garden centre rather than dobbies. Everything is better, the service, the goods and the food. Its actually a great place to eat in it's own right. Go along have breakfast or lunch and enjoy the garden centre

We really enjoyed our visit to the Caulders garden centre’s cafe it was busy but staff were friendly and efficient. I would however recommend going earlier in the day as we arrived around 2pm and it was really busy and the car park was full. Lovely visit all the same with lovely shop and garden centre to walk around after light lunch.

Have been here a few times for lunch, they always have a nice selection of mains & soups. Cakes are really tasty & you can have a wander round the garden centre afterwards.

I have had afternoon tea in several places, I put our afternoon tea here as one of the best, couldn't find one single fault, all very fresh and lovely miniature cakes in fact we had a we box of cakes to take home as we couldn't finish them all. Thank you don't change a single thing loved it.

Unlike a lot of garden centres, which only offer cafeteria style service, the Caulders group still have table service. Couple this with good food and decent prices you have the "recipe" for an enjoyable lunch. I am a fan.

Table service,food delicious, plenty staff friendlyxsoup and sandwich my favourite.Nice shop plenty to see as well

Good coffee, Meal appeared to be out of the freezer with very little choice. All deep fried. Menu very limited very limited

Food & Service was first class, the surroundings and restaurant very clean. Set inside a beautiful garden centre, with gift shop. Would highly recommend Caulders, and a for a lovely coffee/lunch or dinner. Great afternoon with the children in the garden centre too.

My wife and I had the soup and sandwich, which we have had a couple of times in here before, and it didn’t fail to deliver. Home made and really tasty, in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Service was brilliant, with really friendly staff.

Have visited 3 times now and the food is consistently great. Freshly prepared and well presented, it's unusual these days to find this standard of food at a garden centre, particularly with the bigger chains charging a lot of money for really bad food. Service is always friendly and efficient and the place is spotless. Love going back here and it's always busy so that says it all.

I went to the garden centre for the first time today as my friend told me how good it was , it is lovely inside and the Restaurant is nice and clean however as we were half an hour to early for the afternoon tea for two we decided to have the macaroni , it was very disappointing as it was dry and pretty tasteless the chunky chips were burnt I will go again to try the tea for two as was my intention today .

Had the best Christmas lunch at Caulders this festive season. Perfectly cooked, great taste and presentation. Will definately be going again next year.

Sorry but I won't be returning ...at least in winter months...too cold!

It’s been a while since I have been here but took my dad for breakfast on a whim today and glad I did.

Afternoon tea good but experience spoiled by 1. A long wait before order taken. The sandwiches and cakes arrived and we were told that their was a queue for drinks. We actually waited 30mins from time we were seated until we had food and drinks and to top it all had to ask for clean pastry fork as the first one I received was dirty.

This was a first time visit for lunch on a weekday.

Lovely cafe with an extensive menu. Staff looked after us though did need reminded a couple of times that we had ordered certain things as they seemed to forget - was quite busy though. All enjoyed their meal (8 of us) and the portions were of a decent size. My gran lives over in the Erskine home so it is good to have this cafe in the vicinity for a change of scenery.

Ordered the minestrone soup which I had to return after the first spoonful - far too salty making it very unpleasant. Ordered a tuna, coriander and lime sandwich instead which was ok but I couldn't taste any coriander or lime. So all in all, a very disappointing snack lunch.

Popped in here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised . The staff were very friendly and welcoming . The soup and sandwich offer was good value and the food was excellent . The garden centre is not that big but is worth a walk around . Overall better than cardwell and Dobbies we will be back .

So the cakes were delicious and the staff were friendly. The shop is fun to look around and we will be back soon.

Visited Caulders today for lunch after hearing good reviews, but was left disappointed.

What a great little restaurant serving delicious meals, snacks, coffees & teas. In beautiful surroundings. Staff are very attentive. Great Service. The Garden Centre & Gift shop are incredible too.

Good selection of food from scones to soups and warm meals to tempt most .The coffee is excellent and the rest rooms are always clean and well looked after

Great variety of food, nice atmosphere lovely surroundings, good value for money. Also garden centre was very well stocked and staff very helpful.

It’s always good to see “locals” in a coffee shop and this was so here. We met a friend for coffee and she regularly uses this venue. Listening to other customers, it was apparent several of them were regulars too.

We ate in the conservatory area with its great views of the hills and the rather fun and quirky plant pot light shades. A very varied and full menu with reasonable prices and a selection of home baking also available. We went for the specials and these were excellent - especially the ham toasty with pineapple jam/pickle. A very pleasant waitress who was keen to help when the home baking choices kept diminishing due to the busy nature of this restaurant. We look forward to returning, especially as the garden centre is exceptionally well stocked with all you might want.

Went here today for lunch and a wander around the shop.The restaurant is excellent I had the macaroni cheese and it was delicious.My dad had the haggis neeps n tatties and scoffed the lot.Maybe though the waitresses could tie their hair up and not keep touching it especially fixing it over the saucers.

Stayed overnight nearby but opted to have our breakfast here.

The food was great. The staff where really nice. The tea was not great. The wait for the food was a bit long but worth the wait.

Good quick service. Wide varied menu. Nice sized free car park. As a garden centre, lots of other things to do on site.

Excellent cafe served by efficient, friendly attentive staff. Very reasonable cost for delicious bacon rolls and coffee. Spacious, airy restaurant located within a varied and well stocked Garden Centre... and no annoying background music!

Been going to Caulders for a few years now and have loved every meal and dessert I've had! Make an effort to go during the Christmas season as the garden centre has some great Christmas decorations and trees. Always nice to finish shopping off with a hot chocolate and warm caramel shortcake.

Freshly made full Scottish breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice and tea/coffee included. Food comes out piping out. Service is really friendly and quick. Nice views over the hills as you look out. Would recommend this.

Went in for lunch mother in law 90 years old wife disabled had to wait 10 minutes no seats for disabled wife to wait and was given wrong bill at exit.....they need waiting seats for disabled who can't stand

Very nice restaurant, we had coffee and cake there with great views of the hills. Nice service, fair prices and a beautiful garden centre to wander round. Really liked all the Christmas goods and the staff wearing festive hats. As good as the other Caulders restaurants and garden centres.

Have visited this restaurant numerous times as live locally. Food always very nice, good portion sizes. Staff lovely and welcoming in the restaurant. The garden centre itself has some beautiful items. Will be back again soon.

During the week £1 less for soup and sandwich deal which is excellent decent sized portion of soup which changes regularly and sandwich of your own choice! On our most recent visit they had made the decked area into a conservatory which makes sense but...

Both an excellent restaurant and garden n gift centre...you will not be disappointed taking a trip to visit here..

Can't give enough credit to the great staff that work there...they are attentive at all times...Breakfast is such a good...

Great place for breakfast,lunch or coffee and cake. Full breakfast is fantastic and great value for money. Breakfast light bites...

We were greeted quickly enough and seen to our table, although after looking at the menu and waiting around another...

Calders restaurants within their garden centres have a reputation for quality and excellent food so it was a pleasure to...

Tenía un encantador almuerzo aquí. Ahora es el servicio de mesa, y la comida está bien presentado y sabroso. También nos dieron una decente taza de té cada uno. Hay una buena selección de comida desde hamburguesas, paninis de lasaña. Sin duda volveremos.

Went for lunch with my family.We had the courgette soup that was the soup of the day, it was delicious! Then we had a look at all the wonderful things in the garden shop. I will definitely go back again!

We really went to buy plants for the garden, somehow we ended up having a soup and sandwich. It may have had something to do with the lovely smell coming from the restaurant, that and a case of the munchies. We had Scott as our waiter and we were looked after, in a way that does your heart good. Very good value for money and excellent quality of both food and service.

I've been coming here since it was owned by Erskine Hospital.Good that the prices are more reasonable now. It's still very busy but it's well organised and there are always enough staff on in the cafe. Coffee is usually good and so are the scones. However the "garden centre" is junky and not much in the way of garden centre any more. Sweets, jewellery, candles,books,cards,cushions,and tack! So I usually only go for coffee now rather than anything garden related.

I haven't been in for a while so I was really looking forward to it we decided to have soup for a starter, I ordered scotch broth really disappointed as it was just a vegetable soup not a bit of broth in it much to my disappointment, also not very warm so didn't bother with anything else :-(

Be warned, this place is popular, especially at lunch time, so get there early. Have been several times now due to its convenience plus the chance to browse the shop and plants area. The service is prompt from a friendly and numerous staff. The food is fresh, but you may need to avert your eyes from the cakes and desserts if you value your waistline! I had the haggis & mozzarella cheese panini this time - tasty but needed a knife and fork to eat it with decorum. Fully expect to be back soon.

Regular coffee break favourite. Great coffee and cake. Breakfast can be served cold at times so more consistency would be great.

We have often come to this venue when visiting family nearby and have always enjoyed the experience. The staff were really nice and accommodated us with a table whereby we could sit with a prim and not be crowded. Excellent service as anticipated. Only needed coffees and pastries on this occasion but have had lunches before incl Cullen Skink etc.

Popped in for lunch and forgot it was Mothers Day - very busy but staff managed to get us a table if we were no longer than an hour. Great choice on the menu, and we both had the salmon open sandwich. Plenty of salmon and lovely brown bread. Was very filling, but couldn't resist the homemade cakes - coffee & walnut, and citrus sponge - fantastic. Had cake with coffee and perfect end to lunch. Very efficient staff and service and we were finished within the hour. A bit expensive for what it is but would return.

arrived at 11.30 sharp,i know because checked my phone ,was seated very quickly ,good so far the waitress arrived and we gave the order 2 bacon rolls and 2 coffees ,and was told we couldn't have bacon rolls it was past 11.30 well yes 2 min.past so we just had the coffee, now we have been here many times before to be fair we had no problems just as our order the table next to us was delivered there bacon rolls ,and couple behind us was served scrambled egg rolls ,when we questioned this we were told "well if we let you have them "others coming in would want them as well , so that was us told terrible service

Always good service and food at a reasonable price and good quality. Both had paninis but resisted the cakes

Stopped here for a coffee and a wander on route to an overnight stay.The garden centre is lovely good choice of plants. It also sells other things also.Well the restaurant was another thing. Waited on a table about 5 minutes despite being plenty empty, but the person was taking the money and not getting anyone to show people to tables. We ordered the special of coffee and 2 pancakes for £3.The pancakes came, what a disappointment, small thin dry pancakes. Not the lovely large ones in other restaurants. No coffee came and we waited and waited. 10 minutes later we had to ask where the coffees were. Then wait again until they came.Very disappointing. Special of soup, sandwich and tea or coffee for £5.99 looked a good deal. We did notice that the service was very slow overall. Tables were cleared quickly, toilets clean.Avoid if you are in a hurry.

This is a great place to stop if you are heading over the Erskine Bridge and need a journey break. The food is superb and the staff excellent. Great soup and sandwich deal if you just need a snack. They also have a lovely shop full of great and varied things for home and garden and some clothing. Great childrens book selection and babies utems. Garden plants are top quality too.

Had afternoon tea which was very reasonably priced. Two rounds sandwiches and cakes and mini scones with cream and jam. Only disappointment was that my friend cannot eat bread so asked fr a wrap instead ,which they sell, but was told it could not be replaced. Still a nice tea and beautiful garden centre with xmas decorations.

Good value for money, large portions and the food was well cooked at this extremelly busy venue. I had the fish and chips and my wife had the cinnamon, apple and stornaway black pudding salad. Both were excellent altough my wife's salad was a bit dry and needed some salad dressing on it. I expect that this was an oversight in the kitchen. However, we were impressed and will go back again.

Second visit in the past two weeks. Food is good value for money and quite a choice on the menu. We had panninis which were good---- when they arrived.!!!! For some reason our order was mislaid as plenty of other people who arrived after us were well,through their food before we even got ours!! Very pleasant staff.

We had a breakfast family reunion here this weekend. This is a spacious place with plenty of room for elderly people. The staff are friendly and efficient when you finally find the location of the place! (not very easy). It was crowded but still plenty tables. There is a large menu and the quality is excellent. I noted they seem to have daily sponge...didn't go for it but it sure looked good. As we were leaving I couldn't help but notice some seriously big baked potatoes! Highly recommend but plan your route or you end up on the Erskine Bridge!

Went here with my parents from the Erskine Hospital. The Cullen Skink was delicious. Paninis were well filled. The fish cakes were tasty. The overall result was very good

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch when we came across this place. There was no tables inside so we sat outside. Was a bit cold.Plenty choices and variety on the menu though bit pricey. Service was a bit slow possibly due to place being busy. We had hot drinks and toasties. Food was fine.

A wee bit pricey but it's awright. Nowt special. Had soup n sandwich special turkey sandwich which was sliced meat n lentil soup. Wee latte

We have been twice now to this Erskine restaurant situated in the Caldercruix garden centre. The staff were so cheery, helpful and courteous, and the standard of food was excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

Just spent a lovely late lunch at the Caulders garden centre in Erskine where we used a Christmas afternoon tea voucher gift which we had almost forgotten about. The garden centre is just off the m8 around Bishopton/ Erskine and is tucked in off one of the roundabouts. Apart from the garden items like a lot of these places nowadays there is a restaurant attached and developed into a nice drop-in for lunches, snacks and afternoon teas and coffees. This particular one has an outdoor space and we decided to try this out as the weather was pleasant. Greeted at the entrance and shown to a nice table by a smiling young waitress we made our sandwich choice and tea for two,resulting in a three tier stand of cream cakes, tray bakes and two rounds of sandwiches along with a wonderful pot of tea. Polished the lot off and will be back again as this only costs £16 per couple but what a lovely gift. Well worth a try.

Visited today for lunch, greeted by a very smiley, friendly lady. Served by very hard working, efficient, smiley lads. Food was delicious and arrived very quickly. What a lovely wee place. Thank you! Highly recommend.

Visited Caulders Erskine Restaurant at lunchtime with my friend. On arrival we were taken to our table and within minutes had ordered our lunch of soup and a sandwich. This arrived surprisingly quickly. Although the restaurant was very busy the service was excellent. The food was well presented and delicious. I can't praise this restaurant and their staff enough. No wonder it is so popular.

Visited Caulders, didn't stay long we were cramped in beside the table next to us, could hear everything the people next to us were saying, it seems greedy and thoughtless to lay it out the way it is, the tables for two used to be for four so it was much more private, if they leave it the way it is they will start losing customers.

Regulars at the Mugdock branch but we were near Erskine Bridge so stopped for coffee and cake. Nice modern and bright building with outdoor seating with lovely views to Kilpatrick hills. Staff friendly and efficient. Cakes quite good but maybe not as "homemade " as they originally were when we first visited Caulders in Mugdock years ago.

We have visited Caulders in Erskine, on many occasions in both the Garden Centre & Coffee Shop. The Staff in the Garden Centre are all very knowledgeable when asked a question, if they are unable to give an answer, they go & check with another member of staff. As the title shows, when we visit the coffee shop staff are always pleasant. When we have had our grandchildren with us they are always very patient with them while the children make up their mind as to what they decide to have. There is always picture & crayons for the childrenAll in all I can't praise them too much,

Went for lunch with hubby. Food is simple but very well cooked, at reasonable prices. Coffee good and lovely selection of cakes.

The staff were friendly but my order of a wrap "filled" with roast peppers and feta cheese was mixed up and arrived as a panini which includes mozzarella. Staff apologised but I preferred to accept it than to wait. The picture shows the content - where are the roast peppers and feta? It seems the routine here is to fill the plate with cheap bread, pasta, rice or potato while pretending the meal is based on something else. I swear this photo is accurate. It doesn't even amount to a sliced ring of pepper. This rating is for the staff. For the food it's zero.

My first visit to the Restaurant. Friendly staff. Good menu selections. Lovely fresh prepared food. Can recommend the open sandwiches ( Flaked Salmon or Prawns). Child and wheelchair friendly venue.
