I have enjoyed many lovely lunches with friends and family. I also feel comfortable popping in on my own for a freshly baked scone and coffee as the staff are so nice and welcoming.

Great experience today for lunch. We had soup and sandwiches which were freshly made upon request. I had sweet potato and chilli soup, my husband had lentil and ham. We had tuna mayo and chicken mayo sandwiches on brown bread. Could not fault a thing. We then shared a huge meringue with a latte and americano coffee. The staff are first class and could not have been more helpful. We will definitely be back and from now on will be regulars . Thank you all for making our day out extra special.

Visited with a friend for a birthday lunch. We both had sandwiches. Very generous with the filling. A lovely lunch. We also had some cakes. I’d s great strawberry tart and my friend had an empire biscuit. Service for the sandwiches was quick. We’d a slight wait for our cakes. When we pointed out the delay it was quickly rectified and the member of staff who took our order came and apologised.

We have been frequent visitors since my mum moved into a nearby nursing home. We have never been disappointed. The service is wonderful- friendly and efficient- and the food is great too. Plenty of space for wheelchair access and the atmosphere is always uplifting.

Lovely afternoon tea using gift voucher from friends. Great service and very friendly. Sandwiches and cakes were excellent. Coffee very good as usual. Couldn't eat everything so waitress gave us a takeaway container for our left over cakes. Enjoyed them the next day!

Visited here this morning for coffee and cake. No complaints about either both good. As soon as we had finished our plates and cups were removed and waitress asked if we wanted more drinks. This made us feel as though we were getting rushed away. The place was not busy so they weren't wanting our seats. The table next to us hadn't even finished their drinks when their plates were whisked away. Feel it is a bit rude taking the plates and cups away so quickly and for this reason won't be rushing back as there are plenty coffee shops in Kirkintilloch who don't do this.

Visited on Wednesday 17 August for coffee and cake and was pleased to see a notice beside the cake cabinet saying 'Coffee and Cake £4.25'. We ordered two cakes, one coffee and one latte, fully expecting to be charged £8.50 plus the difference between standard coffee and latte. Were shocked to be charged £12.10! When we challenged this, we were told that the offer was only for sponge cake, which the notice did NOT specify. Although we pointed out that the notice was incorrect, we still had to pay the higher price. Won't be back for coffee, plenty of other choices.

The food is tasty and when I asked for a specific desert the server actually told me there was none left but they would make me one fresh. It was delicious and I appreciated the gesture also. We turned up 5 minutes before our booking and were told the table wasn't ready and to wait. When we returned to the front desk the queues was all the way across the floor. I went up to a server and advised we had a booking and she advised so did everyone else in the queue, it was quite rude but also made no sense... there was not enough tables to seat everyone there . There was no way we had all made a booking or would be getting seated at the booked time. I pushed back and ultimately we received a table... but if I hadn't we would have had to wait in the queue for a very long time which would not have been great and is probably what happened to everyone else standing. I would return but the service isn't great. The food makes up for it.

We went for breakfast here and not a great experience , after being seated we had to ask to have the table cleaned as it was obvious it had not been cleaned after the last customer, waited ages before our order was taken, the noise from a phone ringing on a loudspeaker was very annoying and the staff rushing about , one rushed by our table and spilt milk over the floor. Our plates were removed as soon as we put our cutlery down while still drinking our tea , just felt very rushed , either get more staff or don't take as many bookings .Then you have to queue up to pay !!!

Mis amigos y yo venimos aquí a menudo para almorzar. Están siendo muy cuidadosos con sus regulaciones Covid, lo cual es bueno. La comida es muy buena y un café delicioso. De lo contrario, no regresaríamos. El personal es amable y servicial. La única sugerencia que haría es que si tuvieran una máquina de tarjetas que pudieran llevar a la mesa, se ahorraría tener que dirigirse a la caja y luego bajar por el restaurante hasta la puerta de salida.

Visité Caulders en Kirkintilloch hoy y, habiendo escuchado tantas buenas críticas, nuestra experiencia fue realmente mala.La sopa Cullen Skink tiene poco o nada de pescado, más como sopa de papa, ¡no estaba lo suficientemente caliente y se sentó bien en mi estómago! Sándwich de atún, el atún estaba muy húmedo, el pan era pobre, empapado y, por lo tanto, pesado.Ofrecen sopa y sándwich para 6. 95, un poco más porque la sopa Cullen Skink es más cara. Pero cobraron 3 extra. 00 encima del 6. 95! Dada la mala calidad, se siente un poco como un robo. Así que no volveremos, lo cual es una pena ya que vivimos en la zona.

Fui ayer a la hora del almuerzo. Después de pedir sopa unos 15 minutos antes, volvieron diciendo que no quedaba sopa, ¿me gustaría elegir otra cosa? Empecé a elegir algo. Luego dijeron que había suficiente sopa y cambiaron de opinión nuevamente. Finalmente conseguí un plato de caldo de pollo, no sé de dónde lo sacaron.El ruido en el restaurante era terrible y las mesas estaban tan juntas que no se podía mantener una conversación privada. Al final no tuvimos que dejar la mejor de las experiencias.

Fui invitado hoy con dos visitantes regulares a este restaurante. No tuvimos absolutamente ningún problema con la comida o el servicio, pero desafortunadamente nos sentimos decepcionados cuando, después de un período de tiempo aceptable para terminar nuestra comida, nos sentimos incómodos. Un miembro del personal superior en particular pasaba continuamente por nuestra mesa mirando fijamente. Entendemos que puede estar ocupado, pero tenemos derecho a lo que pagamos. No lo dije en ese momento, ya que era un invitado. Lamentablemente no volveremos pronto.

Restaurante Butterchurn: primera visita para almorzar y no decepcionado. Lasaña vegetariana estaba muy caliente y deliciosa. Optamos por bollos de fruta con nuestras cuppas. . . mejor que he probado, ¡y tampoco demasiado grande!Centro de jardinería: envié un correo electrónico unos días antes para averiguar sobre un árbol en particular. Una señora me llamó dentro de una hora para averiguar cuál sería mi centro más cercano. 1/2 hora más tarde, un tipo encantador llamó para explicar lo que había en existencia y lo dejaría a un lado. Fuimos el sábado por la tarde, almorzamos, completamos el pedido. . . ¡Desperté el domingo por la mañana para encontrar que el árbol había sido entregado! ! Servicio impresionante . definitivamente volveremos?

Es una cafetería dentro de un centro de jardinería, pero parece que la cafetería se ha convertido en una atracción más grande que el centro de jardinería. Sin duda es muy popular entre los lugareños.Si este café estuviera en otro lugar que no fuera el centro de jardinería, ¿atraería al mismo número de personas? Probablemente no. Tal vez la atracción sea el aparcamiento gratuito o que sea el mejor lugar para reunirse con amigos con una sopa y un sándwich. No sé por qué es tan popular, pero estoy seguro de que no es por la calidad de la comida si los bollos de frutas y Cullen Skink son algo para pasar.

No sé si las tazas de té son viejas y necesitan ser reemplazadas, pero mi taza no se veía tan limpia. Asi que. . . . la comida finalmente llega entre 10 y 15 minutos después de que nos sirvieron el té y el café. Mi té está terminado y mi esposo tiene media taza de café frío para acompañar la comida.

This has got to be one of my favorite places!!! The restaurant is in a Garden Center. There's also a very nice shop full of gifts. In December, it was all Xmas decorations and gifts. It was very colorful and thoughtfully laid out in striking color schemes. A very attractive display indeed! Caulder's is not a big place, but it's very, very popular and sometimes you need to queue to be seated. There's a fair-sized car park. The staff are VERY welcoming and friendly! The food is delicious and the desserts are AMAZING!!! A great place to spend a morning (they do a fabulous breakfast!!!!) or afternoon:)

Visited today this is not the 1st time I've been here but it was my husband's and I didn't have a problem taking him as I've always had a lovely experience and today was no different with regards to the food it was lovely however when our drinks arrived I was given a dirty glass . This in itself isn't a problem I called a waitress over and told her it was filthy and she took it away and gave me a clean one . The glass itself was dirty but more it looked like she had given me a previously used by a child glass as there was what I can only describe as dirty sticky fingers marks all over it . I wouldn't normally complain however the girl at the next table to us asked to see my glass when she overheard me saying to my husband that my glass was dirty and she told me she had actually returned the very same glass because of how dirty it was so I can only assume that instead of putting the dirty glass away to be washed it was put back on the shelf. If that is the case then I'd suggest your staff be retrained . I myself work in a very busy very popular cafe and our policy is when our glasses come out the dishwasher they are inspected and individually polished with kitchen roll to make sure they are spotless as is the same policy with our cutlery it is a little time consuming however it ensures we never have complaints regarding dirty glasses or cutlery. Today's experience hasn't put me off a return visit however I will feel compelled to examine my glass and cutlery in future.

I visited Caulders on a regular basis and I'm never disappointed. Food is always excellent as is the service. Both garden centre and restaurants staff are friendly/helpful. On one occasion a member of the garden centre staff noticed I'd a flat tyre when I was returning to my car. He insisted on changing the wheel for me and wouldn't take any money for his kindness. This was definitely out with his job description. On another occasion my elderly mum took ill while in the restaurant and the staff had to call an ambulance. While we waited for the ambulance a member of staff sat with my elderly dad and reassured him. I've taken relatives from Australia who were highly impressed with the food and garden centre. I can't recommend Caulders enough.

We generally go here early Sunday morning before the crowds arrive (it does get extremely busy because it's extremely popular). You can grab a great Scottish breakfast all under £7 (including: egg, mushrooms, beans, square sausage, potato scone, Stornoway black pudding all served with orange juice, tea or coffee and a slice of toast). There are also loads of home made cakes to choose from ..... these are a little on the expensive side when you consider the above but the portion sizes are large.This is a great little tea house and very popular with the locals ..... depending on what time of day you go I suggest you book a table in advance.

The food here is enjoyable - usual garden centre fare of sandwiches, cakes etc. However, as much as the staff in the garden centre are helpful and friendly, I have, on more than one occasion, found the staff in the coffee shop to be at best, unfriendly, and, at worst, brusque and rude. By contrast, the staff at Caulders coffee shop at Mugdock could not be more charming and helpful.

On a recent return visit to the garden centre, we were glad to see that the soup and sandwich deal has returned to the menu. For £5.99 you get a bowl of soup, a choice of any sandwich filling(except prawns which are a pound extra) and a cup of coffee or a pot of tea. I was able to have gluten free bread for my sandwich and there was a choice of vegetarian fillings. The soup was delicious - we both chose asparagus- and the end result was a very tasty and filling lunch at a reasonable price.

In many ways this is a typical garden centre restaurant, with basic foods and nothing specially fancy in either the menu or the ambience. But it's definitely towards the better end of such places. Food was well cooked and delivered quickly, and the servers were all very good, with a welcome smile right from the door. I ended up visiting to eat more or less by accident, but I'd certainly be back if I'm passing that way again.

As i live locally this is a great place to pop to for lunch -as its not open for dinner. It is always busy so expect you may have to wait for a table - but there is a nice gift shop and of course the garden center to keep you entertained whilst you wait . The staff are friendly and efficient. The restaurant is clean and well organised. My fav thing on the menu is the Macaroni Cheese - its the best i have had anywhere. The cook tells me the secret ingredient is the mustard that has to be added once off the heat. I could eat 2 portions everytime i visit i love it soo much. That and the huge Meringues keep me going back for more. Keep up the good work folks its much appreciated.

Our family are regular visitors to Caulders, living in the area. Food is always of a good standard, the selections are just right for this type of restaurant, garden centre and gift shop Prices are on the high side and I would add this comment - on a recent visit the girl serving our table was asked for lemon for our waters, the piece appeared which was barely the size of a finger nail, being asked for more we then got the scraps which were left. Our tea for 4 was in a teapot for 2 but with 4 tea bags ugh, we did request hit water which arrive in a tiny tea pot for one, would suggest Caulders give more thought to staff training in the restaurant especially younger staff.

As keen gardeners, we often visit Caulders to buy plants ( best quality in the Kelvin Valley!) and it's usually accompanied by a visit to their eatery. It's always busy and at the weekend, you need to be prepared to wait for a table. Their food is decent and always freshly cooked. Their crayfish wraps are especially nice. Home baking is exceptional. However, it is a bit on the pricey side. Bit of a captive market being in a garden centre mind you!

Had a really nice lunch here with friends, good selection, only one negative is that it was a bit on the pricey side - it is a garden centre afterall.

Visited Calders for some lunch with my father. We both opted for some delicious home made lentil soup and sandwiches - chicken mayo and tuna served with salad and crips. I just love the lattes served here and often come down for afternoon coffee and one of their delicious cakes. Try one of their huge meringues if you dare! You won't be disappointed.

Went with my boyfriend for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Ordered 2 hot drinks and 2 full breakfasts. The hot drinks came shortly after but we waited over an hour and still no sign of the breakfasts. We then politely asked how long they’d be as we had something else on afterwards and the staff had to check and came back to say there was an issue with the till processing the order. We were sat right next to the kitchen door and many other customers who came in after us and ordered the same were served within 10/15 minutes. It’s difficult to understand why this was not picked up by the staff before having to ask. By the time we had raised the issue we didn’t have time to wait on them restarting our order so asked for the bill for the hot drinks. At this stage I would have expected at least a good will gesture for the hassle but no they still charged us fully for the drinks and we left. Very poor customer service.

Tische und Besteck waren nicht sauber, die hälfte der Karte konnte nicht bestellt werden da die Zutaten fehlten (kann ja mal passieren) zudem war die Pizza und der Burger nicht von hoher Qualität.

Friendly service, nice lunch, nice setting and ambience. Tends to have a bit of a wait, from my experience. Worth a visit, have been several times.

I had a human hair in my meal. Very outdated, decor and table and seating all need replaced. Needs new walls and ceiling at the back of the restaurant. We won't be back.

Kerrie, my server (if that doesn't sound too mediaeval) was an absolute joy. I have a range of allergies which she diligently recorded while finding the whole thing very entertaining. Thanks to her l live to eat another day
