We visited the garden centre to see the Christmas decorations so decided to have breakfast first. We all had a full Scottish breakfast & it was delicious. Staff were beyond helpful & we had poached eggs instead of fried eggs. The breakfast was a fantastic price & fantastic value for money so we were very happy.

Out on bank holiday and visited “Caulders Garden Centre “ and while their decided to have a meal in the delightfully decorated Cafe & Eatery staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had lovely meal of “Scampi” which was very enjoyable and Latte Coffee’s and we found prices very competitive. Finally had to use WC and was impressed with the cleanliness all round in this place. Would definitely recommend to give it a try

First time in this garden centre and Cafe since it changed hands and it was vey pleasant and good experience. The changes in the cafe etc have tastefully been done and the staff and food and cleanliness is 100% Found todays visit very pleasant. Would recommend changes being made for the better but that is not distract to from how good it was previous. Recommended

Last day of our holidays - went here for lunch with our small family. Food was flawless, and both members of waiting staff were superb. One of the highlights of our trip. Will certainly be back.

As it’s a small popular place booking in advance is probably recommended. We were looking for a table on a Saturday night during the Spring Fling event in the region so left a message with the restaurant whilst traveling to Kirkcudbright. The owner returned the call and fortunately, thanks to a cancellation, was able to arrange our reservation for dinner the following night - a promising start. On the evening of our visit the bistro was busy however there was still a relaxed ambiance about the place. The sole waitress taking orders and attending to the tables was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable about the menu and the only other member of staff appeared to be the owner/chef. He popped out and chatted with us towards the end of service to allow the waitress to get home as a few diners like us were finishing off drinks and still to receive their desserts and settle their bills. He seemed sociable and relaxed and clearly hadn’t adopted the Gordon Ramsay approach to the restaurant business. Being a small place we were not surprised at the outset that the menu was limited to about half a dozen items per course including specials however it gave a decent choice in our view. We both ordered a “special” for starters - Tempura Battered Prawns (£7.95). As was the case throughout the evening, the dish was served up to the table in good time. Six king prawns each with a sweet chilli sauce with a salad garnish and balsamic. It was a tasty start. For mains my wife ordered the Seabass, served with king prawns, a white wine & tomato sauce and fresh vegetables (£21.00). I had Duck a L’Orange (£21.95) which was another item from the specials board. Neither of the mains dishes would be winning prizes for presentation however most importantly they both tasted good. The fish was nicely cooked and my wife enjoyed the other parts of the dish. The duck was also good albeit the chef was later surprised I’d left the fat on the plate. I queried if people normally ate the fat and he commented that they often do and that he rendered it to make it more appealing. Thankfully this was not an overly fatty duck breast in any case but I was quite happy to leave the small amount I did on the plate. For dessert my wife had Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream and I had a Citrus Tart served with a small selection of fresh berries and cream. The puddings were £6.50 each and both enjoyable. Overall we liked our experience at the bistro and with our three course meal for two costing just under £72 we thought it was reasonable value for money. We had added a bottle of NZ Yealands Sauvignon Blanc wine for £25 only just keeping the bill under £100. A walk to the harbour to watch the sunset as we headed back to our accommodation rounded off the evening well.
