Caulders Mugdock Restaurant in Glasgow City

What an amazing breakfast I had today, catered to my changing items, lovely staff, very welcoming. Coffee was beautiful also and breakfast was fast and hot. Will definitely return soon.

I had the soup and sandwich. “Tomato and ham” soup tasted like bland tinned tomato soup with some broth mix and veg added. No sign of any ham. Disappointing. I had just assumed it would be home made.

Called for a quick last minute lunch. They’d run out of a few items but that was to be expected so late in the day.I had nachos with haggis which was a first for me, but a good first. The staff were lovely and very welcoming. All five of us enjoyed the food.

We are regulars here but over time the staff have become totally disinterested. Visited yesterday and manageress at entrance did not look up saying just take any seat and the girl who served us looked totally glum. Not an enjoyable experience and certainly did not feel welcome.

Working as a carer, I was so disappointed to arrive at Caulders in Mugdock Park today with an elderly client, to find that the restaurant was closed! I realise refurbishments are essential in business, however the fact that there was no information about the closure until we read it on a sign at the entrance once we got there, was the most annoying part of the whole experience. I had checked the website before setting out this morning for opening times, etc and there was no mention of the closure there. Even if there had been something on the road sign at the turning into the park, we could have saved ourselves some time and inconvenience, but there was nothing. It meant we didn't have time to get lunch elsewhere since my visit time was coming to an end, so I had to take the elderly lady home and she had to make-do with a sandwich. She was very agitated on the journey home since she couldn't process why I wasn't able to offer her the treat out for lunch I had promised her. It's such a shame this has not been thought through by the management at Caulders and I'm sure plenty of other customers (now ex-customers since I won't be returning) have been equally disappointed.

What a lovely experience here today….lovely lunch and FANTASTIC service from Liz….be back again very soon. Thank you.

Fabulous lunch as always, Liz and the team are so professional and helpful couldn’t recommend enough the service and the quality of food.

I want to this restaurant for an afternoon tea after getting a voucher last Christmas. When we arrived we were given a table by the window and could choose our sandwiches. Cheese and ham and tuna mayonnaise was picked. Delicious. 2 large scones, jam, cream and a good selection of cakes. Couldn't fault it. The staff were very friendly and efficient. It also has an outdoor seating area. I'll definitely be returning again. A great location right next to Mugdock Country park.

.....what's not to like? The location of this place is super, right in the heart of the Country Park, so short walks and wanderings are an absolute pleasure. The Garden Centre itself is not huge, but big enough to be interesting. The restaurant is as good as the location; we sat outside in warm sunshine and thoroughly enjoyed the ambience and the food. First for coffee on arrival, then for lunch a couple of hours later. Very, very pleasant.

Having had a nice walk at Murdock we went into the restaurant for coffee. We decided as it was late coffee we should have a treat. The pancakes Maple syrup bacon sounded like the right treat. We were a party of 4 and all went for the same treat. The pancakes were very small and could have been out of a packet at Tesco. The syrup was just that golden not Maple. We ask for bacon to be crispy and it is hardly cooked and very little of it. Certainly not value for money. Very disappointing.

Came here with a friend at 16:16, when we arrived there was staff cleaning up. An older lady told us it was only drinks as food had stopped. Online and on their menu they gave us it said last food orders 16:30... we sat down anyways and had a drink. The guy who served us was polite. After we got our drinks the staff started staring at us almost an indication to leave. We then saw a staff member standing by the till smoking his vape. Then the older lady filled the mop bucket with the hot water tap she had just used to make my tea. I work in hospitality and I get everyone wants to go home at the end of a long day but making us feel awkward isn’t very professional nor is filling the manky mop bucket with the hot water machine.

5 years since we were last here - but the macaroni is as good as ever. My mum was able to get a smaller portion which she appreciated - we hadn't booked but there was immediate availability and we had a lovely lunch. Look forward to a return visit ... especially after spending some money in the lovely gift shop!

Yesterday we visited Caulders at Mugdock Country Park for lunch. Although it was very busy, our order was taken quickly and arrived shortly afterwards. The sandwiches were very fresh, the soup was piping hot and my husband really enjoyed his baked potato. Our experience was made even more enjoyable by the quality of the waiting staff. We were served by three different young women, who were all very friendly and efficient and my husband and myself both commented on their great service and attitude. We would therefore be grateful if you could let them know that they are delivering a great service to the customers and it was certainly noticed by us! Thanks for a great lunch experience.

Lunch with fresh salad was not fresh and unacceptable. No apology. Just “I’ll let her know then”. Thanks but no thanks. Never again!

Great selection and fast service. Seemed clean and had social distancing/mask protocols in place. Further details shared privately with the cafe.

Arrived to find the restaurant adhering well to Covid 19 rules and greeted by our waitress Jordan who was very friendly. She got us a table outside in the sunshine, served us our drinks and cutlery and recommended the club panini when I asked what was good to have for food. Our food was great, soup and sandwich my boyfriend loved! The club panini was also tasty. Would recommend anyone to go for a nice lunch, I felt safe as all staff had masks on and I saw tables frequently getting sanitised.

First time to Caulders restaurant at Mugdock. All COVID-19 measures were in place from sanitising stations to all staff wearing face masks. Tables were all social distanced and we were told on arrival that they required the table back in 1 hour, which is understandable in this climate. Very enjoyable coffee and filled rolls. Staff were friendly and efficient. I would certainly recommend this restaurant and we will certainly be back.

Este se ha convertido en nuestro destino favorito desde que reabrieron cafés y restaurantes. Increíble atención a todos los detalles para garantizar una experiencia segura para los clientes: mesas bien espaciadas, abundante desinfectante, personal bien capacitado y aire fresco.Agregue a esto un delicioso menú para el desayuno, el café, el almuerzo o el té de la tarde y todo se suma a una ocasión realmente placentera y relajante. El personal también es encantador.

Visité a un pariente anciano para almorzar. No se permiten máscaras en el restaurante ni siquiera por parte del personal. La gente es libre de caminar cerca de las mesas para mirar pasteles. La salida pasaba por una larga cola en la entrada estrecha del restaurante. La comida estaba bien, pero me decepcionó que la higiene no fuera como esperaba. Observada como camarera, sin máscara ni guantes, le tocó la cara, luego levantó un pastel en un plato con la mano y luego tocó nuestra vajilla.

Had lunch here. Food excellent. Staff lovely and went out of their way to attend to my fussy grand daughter

Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra visita a la tienda de regalos donde Louise y Melissa nos dieron una cálida bienvenida. Fueron una delicia! Esta rama ha sido decorada con mucho gusto para Navidad, ofreciendo productos de calidad y excelentes ideas para regalos. Ya estamos deseando volver a visitarnos.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.shop was absolutely lovely.all local crafts.we purchased a gift and it was beautifully wrapped.will definitely visit again.we now know where to buy special gifts .

Esta fue mi primera visita y quedé muy impresionado con la decoración, el personal y la comida.Aparcamiento gratuito sin restricciones de tiempo. Excelente tienda para ir a la zona de comer.El personal era amable y el servicio fue excepcionalmente rápido. La comida era fresca y muy agradable. Preciosas papas al horno y pastel crujiente de chocolate. Estaremos de vuelta.

Este restaurante se encuentra en el corazón del atractivo parque Mugdock. El servicio es excelente y hay una buena variedad de comida sencilla pero bien preparada que no es cara.Hemos comido allí con frecuencia y nunca nos ha decepcionado.

I had coffee - loved the chocolate on top, mushroom soup - delicious and a nice sandwich. Pleasant staff and good service and a nice wander round the garden centre and the shop

He tenido almuerzos y cafés aquí en numerosas ocasiones como local. Siempre es bueno, el personal en general es bueno, aunque cambian un poco, Cullen skink es excelente. Tenga en cuenta que ahora tienen una tabla de especialidades, así que probé el crepe de pollo y champiñones que no había tenido antes. Encantador con grandes trozos de pollo en buena salsa. La selección de pasteles siempre es buena también.

Este es un lugar favorito para visitar para una taza de té. La elección de los pasteles es tan tentadora. También hay un menú bueno y variado para almuerzos. La cafetería da a la zona de plantación al aire libre del Garden Center, por lo que hay bonitas vistas para disfrutar con el té. En un buen día, puede sentarse afuera en la terraza y disfrutar del sol y las plantas.

Lovely café overlooking the garden, lovely cakes and snacks, reasonable prices.

Stopped in on the way back from Glasgow first time visit and will definitely be back. Full Scottish breakfast with coffee orange juice and toast at a very good price

Scones were Jamtastic decent cream too

Primera vez aquí y ciertamente no será la última.

Terrible lugar y mal servicio. Alguien en la recepción nos pidió que siguiéramos a una camarera mayor a una mesa. La seguimos hasta que ella abofeteó un par de menús en una mesa aleatoria. Ninguna conversación en absoluto. Más tarde fue grosera e inapropiada cuando vino a tomar la orden. Dio la casualidad de que el mismo miembro del personal se ocupó de nosotros para pagar en un escritorio. Una vez más casi nada se dice más que el costo. No hay acuse de recibo de casi la cantidad correcta de efectivo. Cosas lamentables Caulders necesita mucho mejor personal. Un estudiante hubiera sido mucho mejor. No tengo la intención de volver allí.

Planeamos café y pastel con un amigo, pero decidimos desayunar / almorzar. Sirven el desayuno hasta las 11 - 30 y las opciones eran excelentes. El desayuno completo era 7 - 95 con 2 para 15 - 00. Lo hicimos, sin embargo no optamos por desayunos completos. Tuve huevos revueltos y tocino con panecillo tostado. Bagel era muy duro, así que sospecha que pudo haber sido congelado. Los huevos y el tocino eran muy buenos. Mi amigo tenía un desayuno vegetariano que dijo que era encantador. El personal cambia regularmente aquí y nuestra camarera necesitaba un poco más de formación. El té y el café debían pedirse 3 veces y estábamos bien metidos en nuestra comida antes de que llegaran las bebidas calientes. También se inclinó a pasar por las mesas sin despejar los platos vacíos. Un poco de entrenamiento va muy lejos.

Visited on Saturday 13th October for the first time. A lovely place and we enjoyed the clean and bright atmosphere and the food was excellent, served by very friendly staff. Can't wait to visit again sometime soon.

Vine aquí para un lugar de almuerzo de último minuto el sábado pasado. El restaurante estaba particularmente ocupado, sin embargo, el personal nos mantuvo actualizados con una estimación de cuándo una mesa sería libre. La mesa fue limpiada rápidamente y nos sentamos. Nuestro pedido fue tomado y la comida fue hecha a pedido, pero entregada a la mesa sin demasiado retraso. El personal estaba muy ocupado, pero todavía tenía tiempo para conversar con los clientes.

Llegamos poco antes del servicio de comida caliente cesado bu esto no fue un problema. El queso era excelente, sin embargo mi macaroni sandwich de gambas era un poco decepcionante estar sobre una rebanada con una pieza pequeña de aguacate. El servicio fue rápido y el personal amable. El café podría ser más fuerte y mi leche caliente estaba fría. Cada silla tiene un coloridos cojines cómodos- se suma a la mirada del restaurante! Un buen amplia carta y precios razonables. Muy popular y bien vale la pena reservar una mesa, aunque el jardín está bien equipada y hay mucho para ver si están esperando.

Ubicado dentro del Caulders Garden Centre, cerca del Mugdock Country Park, este encantador café / restaurante sirve un macaroni con queso. Tuvimos la suerte de visitarlo lo suficientemente temprano el día en que los asientos no fueron un problema, pero entiendo que puede estar muy ocupado en el fin de semana, por lo que reservar una mesa puede ser de asesoramiento. El personal fue muy amable, y el servicio fue rápido. ¡Los precios fueron muy razonables! La tienda de regalos y el centro de jardinería que los acompañan son muy tentadores, y el estacionamiento fue excelente; nuestro único problema fueron los baños femeninos, con 3 de 4 cubículos sin descarga / fuera de servicio. Sin embargo, esto no nos impedirá hacer una visita de regreso.

Not much to say, food ok, but I feel some frozen. The cake I had was somewhat dry. It is what it is - calling it a restaurant is a misnomer - café more likely.

Estuvimos en Mugdock Country Park a dar un paseo la semana pasada y nos dimos el capricho de un almuerzo ligero en Caulders.

Garden Centre in Mugdock Park. Luckily we arrived just before the rush. Fairly limited menu but everybody managed to find something. Staff very good and food arrived quickly. The food was all fine if a little pricey. (Why are Garden Centre cafes always expensive?)

Nos habíamos estado caminando en Mugdock Country Park por 90 minutos y he sugerido a mis amigos que llame al restaurante para tomar una taza de té antes de ir a casa, pero se convirtió en más que eso. Mi amigo me apetecía algo de sopa y tenía la crema de brócoli, aunque yo me había dado cuenta que tenía que Gomera Cullen nunca puedo resistir, así que tuvimos nuestra sopas, que estaba muy sabroso. Me gustan las piezas de papas en la gomera para ser puré de Cullen bajando un poco más, pero no que yo. El sabor era sin duda al estándar. Después tuve un vistazo a la variedad de tartas, y era incapaz de resistir un trozo de tarta de limón y lima que tenía no uno, sino dos capas de guinda cremoso, y era muy abundante y delicioso. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera con un diente dulce. También me gustó especialmente el ambiente del lugar, muy luminoso y espacioso, con un montón de vidrio, y todo parecía muy limpio. El personal era muy agradable y amable. Cuando fui a pagar me habría salido con no pagar por mi té y pasteles, pero estoy demasiado honesto para eso y dijo el miembro del personal. No es muy local para mí, o volvería más a menudo, pero disfruté de la experiencia.

A lovely spot for lunch any time of year . The conservatory style restaurant is modern spotless and boasts a lovely view of woodland and lake and the added benefit of being south facing allows sun all the year round . The best features are the great value lunch deals and superb waitress service , I don't like self service on offer at some other garden centres . Top tip , try the soup , sandwich and tea deal an absolute bargain tasty and filling for a winters day . Best of all is the friendly service , all the staff are lovely and seem to enjoy their work , they really look after the customers . This place is worth the short drive from Glasgow's west end keep up the good work girls.

De camino a Trossachs paramos aquí y decidí sentarme en la zona de terrazas para comer el almuerzo en el hermoso sol mientras escucha música clásica en vivo desde el quiosco de música. . La comida era deliciosa, el marido había sándwich abierto de salmón (recomiendo encarecidamente). . Tuve enrollado de pollo chili, disfrutamos de un tiempo maravilloso aquí con el personal muy atento. .

Hoy lunes 10 de julio mi esposa y yo tuvimos el té de la tarde. Fue excelente que tenía una ventana aunque el restaurante es luminoso y ventilado.

Restaurante centro bonito jardín. Bueno para comidas ligeras, agradables sopas caseras y sandwiches. Buen lugar para tomar café y tés y reuniones de amigos. La ubicación es preciosa, ya que hay ventanas de pared a piso, con vistas al jardín amurallado. Precios razonables y buen servicio.

Off the cuff visit, my first visit to mudock park caulders I found this very spacious cafe wife nice views of the gardens I sat next the door which on a windy day was a bit blowy , however the food was lovely there soup was lovely and the open sandwich was very nice would I go back oh yessssss

Visitamos con mi esposa, hija y dos nietos de 3 años para el almuerzo. Muy bien atendidos por Rachael que es increíblemente amable y eficiente y genial con los niños.

During our visit to the Mugdock country park garden centre we decided to have lunch in the restaurant again, having dined in the restaurant over a year ago and the quality of the food and service back then, gave us the confidence to stay for lunch the restaurant was warm and airy the food we both ordered was tasty and reasonably priced, well presented with plenty of staff in hand for a good service.

La mayoría de las semanas YO y amigos de visita un día aunque normalmente no tienen comida (excepto un tierno pastel casero de madrugada a veces) para un excelente café y sopa casera. El personal es muy amable y añadir al disfrute de una visita. Es una lástima cuando el sol no es estar cómoda en las ventanas debido al calor. Cuando hay mucha gente, puede ser bastante ruidoso, pero yo y mis amigos no dejes que prevenir de Chatter.

My wife and I popped in to this place this afternoon after walking through Mugdock park. We opted for tea and a cake. The selection on offer was excellent and all appeared fresh. I had the Cheesecake of the day which was light and tasty. My wife had the Bridal cake which was ideal for her palate. Price was ok and the service was first class.

We had lunch here today, homemade leek and potato soup, sandwich and coffee. A very reasonable £5.99 each with good service and a lovely location overlooking the walled garden. The food was very good, in particular the leek and potato soup. Perfect form a January day. X

We have only ever had a quick snack here, never a full meal, but have always been very pleased with the quality of the cakes, biscuits, teas and coffees. The garden centre is full of some quality plants at good prices, as is the wee shop where we bought solar powered lightbulbs to hang on the trees in our garden

Very nice Christmas dinner - lots of differently cooked veg with turkey.I have had a few lunches here - always good and lots of choice.Only comment is that in hot sunny weather it really could do with getting some blinds to get some shielding from the sun.

Food was lovely with a good choice, my only criticism they don't sell chips with anything. They have a lovely shop attached to the restaurant with beautiful Xmas decorations, which are not an arm and a leg to buy. Would recommend going early as we were there on a Saturday at 12.30 and there was hardly a seat left. Also a lovely view if you are lucky enough to get a window seat.

The food here is ok - sandwiches are fine, cake choice good, coffee ok. It is a very pleasant coffee shop, with pretty views over the plants for sale outside and the manicured garden beyond. The girls here are lovely. We were served by a very nice girl from Thailand, who was courteous, smiling and efficient.

Usually stop in here for a soup and sandwich any time we visit the park. There's always great service from the pleasant waitresses and yummy food at a decent price.I'll be back :-)

It was pretty cold outside, so we decided to go for the 'souper deal': soup with sandwiches, in this case we chose Scotch Broth, cheese and pickle and tuna sandwiches. The Scotch Broth tasted home cooked with proper stock and the sandwiches were good, too. Our little grandson demolished more than one of the 3 tuna sandwiches and enjoyed his apple juice. Our coffees came with the 'souper deal' and so we had a lovely warm-up session for not too much money.

Very good location, but the food, whilst good value, was a little uninspiring. Cauliflower soup was OK, but the accompanying ham and mayonnaise sandwich, was boring. There are so many better soups and sandwich fillings. The home baked cakes looked very tempting, and if I was coming in for a coffee and cake, I think it would have a much better review. Service was Ok considering how busy it was at 1pm. Today was an unusual day with bright sunshine, with the sun low in the sky, and shining straight into my eyes. An external sunblind would have increased my comfort.

visit frequently/always friendly service/waitress leads you to your table /we have had breakfast there /light lunches and just for a coffee and cake/always delicious and the main thing it is always value for money/

Whenever I'm planning a morning exploring Mugdock Park I always schedule in lunch at Caulders. It's easy to get to with a big car park or you can cycle there. The coffee is good, I always have a panini for lunch and sometimes a cake too. I like to sit outside in warm weather overlooking the garden centre. The waitresses are friendly, the toilets are really nice and the prices are reasonable.

Been frequenting this place for years. Serve nice home cooked food. Cullen skink excellent. Good deal of soup,sandwich and tea at £5.95 for those on a budget Monday to Friday. Lovely meringues with nice chewy bit in the middle. Nice to sit out in summer and in winter to catch what sun there is sitting by the full length windows. Service generally good and friendly.

A group of thirty of us went for morning coffee prior to a walk. The table service was very efficient. My scone was delicious and tea was served in a teapot. My husband would have liked his bacon in his bacon roll to have been crisper and hotter .

Clean with plenty of seating. We struggled to see the specials board from our seat, thought the waitress would have told us but didn't. Bit pricey for what it was, but portion size was good and it was well presented. Lovely walled gardens. Would go for tea and cake next time instead of lunch.

popped into coffee shop for a snack. Service was great however food average. No real but about the place. Same old same old stuff Good for kids

We were are at Mugdock Country Park with my Grandson aged five. Tea room was quite busy. The layout of the tables and chairs is a bit haphazard, and quite a few were already reserved. We sat initially right at the window overlooking the gardens, but it was too warm and sunny. Moved over to the wall which was ideal. Plenty of staff who are very efficient and friendly. Joshua had the children's macaroni cheese with a portion of crisps..pasta was home made. He loved it..unusual to get quality when ordering a kids meal. I had the continental antipasto which was very good...only slight disappointment was that the salami was that sort of German/Danish salami and not Italian. My wife just had a pot of tea and a tea cake...anyway a very pleasant experience...will go again and I'll get the adult macaroni this time.

Visited caulders with my mother for lunch and a coffee on Saturday. The food was lovely and the coffee was absolutely delicious (Liam I think the barista's name was did a great job!). Lovely looking round the gift shop also - some quirky items! Will return :) perhaps for afternoon tea next time

First visit. A garden centre in the back of beyond with a tea room attached. From the car park access is through the garden shop selling books and associated gardening items - clever, but a direct access would be nice for wheel chairs, etc. The restaurant is more of a tea room/coffee shop with soup, sandwiches, baked potatoes however the food is good and the service is nice. Busy at lunch time.

Came here for afternoon tea as part of celebrations for an 80th birthday. Staff could not have been more helpful, friendlier and nice !!!! Which makes a change in today's climate. Afternoon tea consisted of sandwiches, cream scone, variety of cakes and meringues. Our meringues weren't cooked properly and they were replaced immediately . A jug of water was on the table with cucumber and lemon in it which was a lovely touch. You get a view of the gardens from the restaurant and there is a lovely outdoor area when it's not raining !! There is a well stocked gift shop and plant area.

A nice selection of gifts for a small garden centre. It's set in lovely surroundings and you can access the pond and neighbouring shops nearby from the grounds. There is also a lovely cafe looking out into the garden but it's not good to have to clean your own table when you're seated.

We often go for lunch in the restaurant (which has a great selection of food to suit everybody including children). Then if it is dry we go round the garden centre if not we have a look round the shop which has lots of interesting things including books.

Enjoy your lunch then look through the shop(which sells a variety of goods).then go round the garden centre and be tempted by the lovely plants etc.

I have eaten at this café before and enjoyed the soup but on this visit with friends for lunch we chose the soup and sandwich deal which was reasonable price. However the soup was bland, and sandwiches dull and lacked tastes or imagination. We left most of the meal. However staff are always efficient, pleasant and attentive and the setting is nice.

A fairly spacious restaurant with views over the walled garden of the former estate. Same menu as other Caulder's restaurants but somehow seems to be higher class and more upmarket although the same price.Food is well-cooked and presented. Staff are friendly and helpful. Licensed - limited but fairly good value.Worth a lunch-time visit.

This is a visit I won't forget in a hurry! I was left standing waiting to be seated while the staff finished their conversation of their night before antics... After being seated at a distant table, in a half empty restaurant I felt like I'd been sent to Coventry!!! The food was average, but the service was dreadful. Lack of staff, or were they all on a "break"? The floor desperately needed a brush and obviously hadn't seen a mop in a while! The only good point of my visit was the cheery young chappy at the till to save the day!

Have eaten at all Caulders restaurants regularly - Kirkintilloch, Mugdock and Newton Mearns. They are always good and the staff are always cheerful and pleasant. The view from the cafe at Newton Mearns is spectacular and the setting of Mugdock in the country park is really lovely. The food is always of a consistently high standard and freshly cooked. The adjoining garden centres are excellent with a good variety of high quality plants well cared for and the shops offer some really lovely, quality products. All aspects of these family-run businesses are highly recommended.

Good value for money. Very business however quick friendly service. Reasonable priced baked potato lunch. Looked like their bigger meals are well prepared and good portions. Only criticism is that it took the staff too long to open the windows and doors to let some air into the conservatory styled setting in the midday sun. A few customers had to request this and some restless young babies were the clues.

Have eaten here a number of times, and never disappointed. Also available, afternoon tea for two for £15.00 after 2pm. Am going for that next time, it looked fabulous. Would certainly recommend.

We visited caulders garden centre in Kirkintilloch and decided to lunch in their restaurant.It is not huge, but has a great menu. We chose the special panini and it had garlic butter with cheese, bacon, tomato and red onion. It was toasted and came with a salad, with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, peppers and red onion. At £5.95 it was terrific value. I had a pot of tea and my husband a cola. The place was clean and tidy, service was excellent would definitely lunch there again.

Attached to the garden centre at Mugdock Country Park just outside Glasgow. Good, clean restaurant and coffee shop. Good variety on menu - scones with cream and jam very good as is the Cullen skink. Nice friendly staff and decent prices. Once you've finished you can look at the centre's shops as well and have a good walk around the country park. Well worth a visit!
