Fairley's Garden Centre in Fife

Arranged to meet friends here for a lunch and a catch up. This is a very popular visit with very pleasant surroundings through a very large conservatory contributing to a very well lit area. There are a number of tables within the conservatory and your extensive menu is on the table. There are hot and cold food choices ordered at the server and brought to your table. We opted for chicken and rice soup and tomato and vegetable soup. To accompany the soup we ordered cheese and onion toasties and cheese and ham. We had carrot cake put aside for later that was the last of it. The chicken soup had a distinct homemade stock flavour with generous amounts of chicken through the rice and veg. The toasties came with crisps and side salad and coleslaw on the side. They were very well cooked with a generous filling. Finally the piece de resistance the home baking carrot cake came bursting with flavour very moist and topped with a very sweet icing. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone and will definitely be back.

Visited for lunch with frend. We both ordered toasties, I had cheese and onion my friend had cheese and ham both came with generous fillings I had coleslaw on the side. We had some home baking I had carrot cake with a strawberry mikshake and diet irn bru. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back.

A friendly warm atmosphere with amazing staff, that cope well in this busy wee cafe. Food is always good and specials are my favourite. Friends that I've taken there can't wait to come back and are always complementary about their visits

Ordered breakfast roll with two fillings - the bacon was hard to chew and the black pudding was miniscule ( cut thinly from the top of the pudding stick ). Further the price of the roll at £3.90 plus £ 1.00 for the black pudding was excessive.

Had lunch here today and the food was as good as always! The majority is home cooked and their soups are delicious. Great garden centre, too!

Stopped in for a quick coffee when visiting garden centre. Late in the afternoon and few customers but four of the five staff on duty seemed to have little interest in serving customers. Coffees and cakes were good though but a bit of enthusiasm to serve customers would have been preferable

A brilliant garden centre which is always well stocked with a very varied selection of plants. Helpful staff and the food in the cafe is always excellent! However, I have to recommend the quiche - one of the best home made quiches to be found in the area and accompanied by a small salad and lovely coleslaw - what more could you want for a delicious lunch?

Go here at least 3 times a month, great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff, very welcoming, great food, good prices excellent value for your money, would highly recommend a visit

Always a pleasure, friendly and efficient waitstaff. We come often for lunch as well. I particularly enjoy the quiche.

We were at the garden centre for plants and as it was a very cold day we decided to warm up afterwards with coffee, scones and cake, all of which were very good quality!

Just been for breakfast to find this place has had a refresh and sadly not for the better. The food used to be really good quality, but was very disappointed by the change. I ordered a bacon roll which used to come on a nice soft roll with a side of potato chips and chutney. Now it comes a cheap crusty roll on its own, which I could have got from the local bakers or shop for a fraction on the price. Prices have gone up and quality dropped, a change isn’t always for the better!

We always enjoy our lunch here as the food is fresh and tasty and the atmosphere is good. The Covid rules are followed and we feel very safe to enjoy a lovely lunch here, followed by a wander around a lovely garden centre!

To be fair, the visit was a good while ago and I've only just got round to leaving a review. Perhaps he takes against certain people (women?) but his behaviour was threatening and appalling. I'd avoid at all costs. There are lots of nicer places to go with good customer service.

We brought a friend here for lunch and a look around the garden centre. We all chose different food but all was very good quality. The garden centre is lovely and I always spend more money here than I intend to!

At last - a garden centre without dogs. Fed up with seeing dogs peeing on pots in the plant areas and sniffing around you in the restaurant. Good food. First-class service. Well-tended plants and good value. Definitely worth a visit.

We were here to buy plants and pots and as usual we called into the café for coffee and cake! The plant selection is brilliant and the food in the café is consistently good!

Good plants a d nice selection of garden furniture price on the high side. Very disappointed when told dogs not allowed I have visited garden centres all over Britain this is the first not to allow dogs. I could understand if not allowed in cafe but cant understand not allowed in open air centre buying plants!!

We visited to buy plants and also to have a late lunch! The food was good as usual, the service good and the plant selection great! Highly recommend it!

Really enjoyed our first visit here. Had a lovely lunch, choice of soup and a good variety of sandwiches and hot food. Comfortable restaurant with outside seating too. Good selection of products in the garden centre. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely visit again

Always manage to find what I am looking for here. Owners always on hand to help..... lovely Cafe with great food too......

This is a great lunch place with home baking to accompany other good food. They are great for baked potatoes with a nice filling. They are great for scones and cakes as well.

Absolutely love this garden centre, a hidden gem in the centre of Cairneyhill. They have a great cafe in there too, friendly, helpful staff

Found a table in the busy restaurant. Menus were on the table and the waiters came to take our orders. They had two soups of the day and we ordered one each. Mine was parsnip and it was VERY HOT, almost like it had been microwaved! Served with bread. Which was nothing special. The soup was tasty though. My friend went for vegetable soup which was also VERY HOT! Servicing staff were very friendly.

Dropped in for a quick lunch ,café was quite busy but seats were available ,we ordered a sausage and onion bap ,and a Toasted croissant with a cheese filling . The menu does not change at all ,which is a shame it could do with one or two different items on the menu just to shake it up a bit

A staff member sat and watched me in the cafe, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I was then stopped in the shop by the man to be called disgusting and disrespectful by the staff member for leaving crumbs on the floor when I was in with my two babies. I Felt very sad and embarrassed and have never been treated this way anywhere before. Such a shame. Don’t feel comfortable going back but I’m sure he would be happy about that. ☹️

First time I’ve used the coffee shop in the garden centre, we had a nice lunch served promptly by the staff, a bit pricey though for a light lunch 🥗 🍴

This place has been around since before I was born. The primary business is a garden centre, and it's a quite good medium sized family run garden centre. A good gift shop, slightly more unusual stock than your average places these days. A useful visit.The coffee shop, is excellent. It's small, it gets busy in the summer. However, the food is actually conspicuously good. A local hidden gem. The Fairleys special burger is the nicest one I've had in some time, and the cheesecake was to die for. Friendly staff, nice surroundings, clean toilets, good infant change and disabled access for the cafe.Between Kincardine and Dunfermline, I'm struggling to think of another coffee shop that comes close. I'm a local of 40 years, worth a visit.

Always friendly helpful staff here. The choice of garden plants, household goods is a pleasure to see compared to chain stores. Christmas decorations and ornaments are superb and very reasonable. I went today for a gift, but the restaurant is excellent too.

Looked for late lunch after a walk around Devilla forest. Found this little gem. The cafe is well hidden in the garden centre. Good food and friendly service. Point to note if you don’t use cash you will have to pay at the centre desk with your card.

We all enjoyed a light lunch here in lovely surroundings. Served by a lovely waitress. The food could not be faulted, we will be back before long.

First time I’ve been here, great selection of plants, friendly helpful staff. Coffee shop as well, will definitely be back & thoroughly recommend you give it a try

lovely place it's lovely to walk around and the staff are so friendly. The café was good but can be a bit pricey but sill very enjoyable. Haven't been here for a while so it was lovely to go back. They have a great variety of ornaments for the garden always something different. Trying to get ideas for my daughters birthday

Very well laid out. Loads to browse through and a great selection of plants and ornaments. Indoor section is also well stocked.

Always stop off here whenever we can are in the area, be it caters for be all your horticultural needs,bit be has a great be outdoor plant area, with ample parking, an interesting greenhouse area for houseplants, and be a cafe/restaurant, always worth a visit.

He estado aquí muchas veces a lo largo de los años y la comida siempre ha sido encantador. Hoy tuvimos que llevar porque teníamos a nuestro perro que no estaba permitido, incluso a la parte de estar al aire libre. Todos teníamos un panini cada (3) y 2 y 1 de crema de caramelo jardincito natillas. También tuvimos dos refrescos y un batido. El precio de todo esto era £31. 25! ! ! ! Considerando que estaba en un hotel muy encantador y bien conocido y tenía dos campos markinch para 2 personas para 5 libras menos que esto! Pensé que podría ser un poco más barato, teniendo en cuenta que estaban teniendo, sin embargo, incluso con ese precio para comer en una silla de plástico es demasiado caro! El personal era muy agradable que sirve, así que la queja no es sobre ellos.

Mi marido y yo nos dijeron acerca de este jardín, así que decidimos visitar hoy (13 de mayo). Cuando llegamos me decidí a un café americano y era absolutamente horror en el precio. Una taza pequeña (muy pequeña) fue de £2, pero fue el gran precio americano que no me podía creer. £3. 15 era el precio pidiendo este café! ! ! ! Sin nuestro conocimiento mi marido había subido al mostrador y me pidió una grande. Cuando llegó era de no más de una media taza! ! He estado por todo el país en muchas tiendas de café y nunca he pagado este para lo que es esencialmente un café con leche fría. La marca para un capuchino de pequeño a grande era sólo de 45 p y asimismo una marca de café con leche era sólo 30 p. ¿Por qué entonces tienen una marca de £1. 15 para un Americano?

First time here and we had a lovely lunch experience. Nice conservatory cafe, friendly staff and great food. We will be back.

Esta fue una visita de regreso con un amigo para ponerse al día. Hay una amplia selección de comida del menú Tabla o elegir las ofertas especiales. Ambos decidimos por las ofertas especiales y ordenados de zanahoria y cilantro sopa y pollo tikka masala con arroz y nan pan. La sopa tenía un agradable sabor casero. El pollo tikka masala era agradable y cremosa. Siempre encontramos algo para satisfacer el paladar de las ofertas especiales y cualquier cosa que he tenido siempre llena de sabor. Regresaré y no dudaría en recomendar a cualquiera. .

Visited recently with my husband - we had lunch and it was delicious as always. The staff are very friendly and polite and the food is home cooked. It's always spotlessly clean and a pleasure to visit.

Este fue un ponerse el almuerzo con un amigo. El café es una extensión hacia el centro del jardín invernadero que hace un entorno muy agradable. Yo opté por patata y sopa de puerro que sabían casero junto con una hamburguesa de queso que venía...

Been dropping in here for years, for gifts, flowers, plants and the coffee shop.Good homes bakes and snacks for lunch. Service us usually good, though cafe and car park can be busy at peak times - espevially the weekend.A lot to look at. Used to be more famous for its prices, but either I have mellowed or they have done a bit to improve their prices.

Fairleys es un gran lugar para Navidad por navidad el resto del año, el café es muy agradable, pero nada especial.

Visitamos hoy aquí y disfrutamos de ir, un poquito más caro que algunos otros centros de jardín nos visita, sin embargo, disfrutar de la experiencia. Hicimos más de 80 libras en detalles ya que encontramos cosas aquí que no habíamos visto en otro lugar. Sin...

Went to the restaurant found it quiet and relaxing. As only just gone 12 noon. Ordered the sausage and venison baguette it was nice and tasty. Didn't enjoy the cappuccino found it of no flavour and weak. Service was nice and friendly

I love Fairlies for buying my plants as they always seem to be personably cared for and are well laid out, as oppose to buying from a branded garden centreThe choice of gifts is great with different choices , including garden accessoriesWould recommend this local trader to all

Take my dad here from Falkirk as he loves the coffee and cake and I get a shop in La Vide, such a lovely place with lovely staff

We have been here many times.There is a good selection of flowers and plants and you do not need a secured loan to choose some!The staff are so knowledgeable and helped carry ours out to the car!We do like the cafe with its delicious homemade scones and coffee.The staff are so friendly.There is ample parking.

We decided to have a visit to the garden centre and have a coffee and scone while we were there, the garden centre has some lovely items and plants and the coffee shop was spacious and plenty seats the coffee was nice and scones were not to bad but could have done with a bit more cheese and mustard in my cheese scone but nice all the same X worth a visit

Pleasant surrounds, helpful friendly staff. Had panini's for lunch- chicken mayo and tuna, with cake and tea. Made to order. Outside eating area for summer weather. Family friendly. Even better if you like plants to stroll around the extensive garden centre with quality plants, good selection of gifts and cards too.

I visited here recently for lunch. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the food was excellent. The garden centre itself is lovely for a wander on a good day and the shop sells some lovely gifts, though they are a tad expensive. There is ample parking, too! Will return!

Stopped off for lunch. Shop selling nice gifts but very expensive, flowers looked colourful and plenty selection of pots and bushes. As usual with garden centres can be higher pricedFood was lovely, staff friendly. Would return and recommend

Popped along for toasted teacakes and a nice pot of tea,We were in early before the place got bust ,plenty of fresh baking with scones just out of the oven but we stuck to the teacakes ...its sometimes difficult to make a choice when its as good as this.We are in here quite a lot for plants and its always nice to take the wait off your feet.Lots of new spring flowers coming in especially primroses at this time of year

Ample parking, great atmosphere, excellent food with warm and friendly service. You can't improve on that! We pop in regularly as a pit stop on a run round the 2 bridges from Edinburgh - it's just perfectly placed. I've never been disappointed - well done folks!

We like to visit the Garden Centre on a regular basis both for plants and for something to eat. The staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere in the 'Topiary' is relaxing. The food is freshly prepared and the freshly made coffee is tasty.

Very good food and lovely atmosphere. Lovely to see the different Christmas decor, before and after visiting the restaurant.

Super choice of gifts, decorations etc and always, the staff couldn't be more helpful. The cafe has a fantastic choice of home-made food which is delicious!

The cafe is situated in a conservatory it's quite a large place with plenty of seating. Our sandwiches were enjoyable and you are not rushed at all

Nice little place with lovely cakes and an interesting boutique which was definitely worth exploring.

Nice Restaurant Cafe in a large conservatory very popular for Breakfasts morning coffees and lunch Pleasant menu with good choices the special board never changes the place could do with some inspiration on the special side ...having said that the food is good quality and the staff are friendly with the added bonus af a great choice of flowers and plants in the Centre itself

Garden centre offers a wide range of plants and other garden needs - great selection and staff are helpful and friendly - Topiary Coffee shop - always stop by for a little snack - Pate and toast is my favourite and the meringues are delicious. Quick service and staff always pleasant. LA VIDA is a must for the fashion conscious - it offers a great selection of clothes that are always that little bit different' from your High Street stores! A great selection of casual, day and evening wear and lots of accessories.. A great welcome from the staff. very helpful and no pressure to buy.

My family and I visited this café on a fairly regular basis for many years and soup and sandwiches were really good. However, on our last few visits the soup has been like mildly flavoured water. Other folks we have spoken to have found this to be the case too. A good tasty stock is required.

Went for a meal in the coffee shop within the Garden centre. Service was unbelievably quick and the staff were nice. It had a very homely atmosphere. The only fault was the lack of draft drinks but apart from that it was an excellent meal

Fabulous food espcially the great selection of cakes and naughty sweet treats. Great service and good value too.

Just love Fairley's amazing coffee and cake and great range of garden accessories. La Vida upstairs is my favourite clothes shop always have stunning outfits to fit the season. Can't recommend it highly enough!

I didn't have a very good experience in the shop upstairs called la vida. I bought two brackets for friends, which didn't fit them even though they have tiny wrists, so I called Laura the owner and she said she could give me an exchange. I asked for a refund instead as there were only small sizes in view at the store which doesn't suit me. She suddenly changed tone and started screaming down the phone at me which I found very rude and upsetting. As I tried to calm down the situation she told me not to tell her how to run her business and hung up on me! Very bad customer service and I think the store is bias as they only show size 8. Will not be shopping here again. Restaraunt was fine though.

Visited today with my elderly Grandmother who loves to browse garden centres. We found this place well stocked with a good selection of good quality products and plants. We bought a few plants which are in great condition.We had eaten so we didn't try the cafe but we plan to return soon.The staff were all very friendly and approachable.It was a really nice pleasant change from the usual corporate sameness of the Dobbie's superstores.

I always find the staff eager to help and educate, George & Ian the owners have a wealth of knowledge, as someone who knows nothing I was so pleased they took the time to assist me. My Begonias were a success,I did purchase other plants but have no idea what they are called, but they look fabulous too, so thank you will defiantly be back all though they may hide when they see me coming!!!!Onto the coffee shop all I can say excellent. well done all.

We often have a lunch snack at Fairley's. Only once was the soup not excellent ( cook on holiday ? ). Bacon and black pudding rolls also excellent.

Fairley's is unique that you get a friendly welcome by the staff, the plants and displays are gorgeous especially this summer .There is always a beautiful isle burgeoning with blooms on the path leading to the cafe .A busy , thriving atmosphere lifts the spirits and the home made food is fab especially the scones !!AC

Well run family owned business good place to visit for garden needs and also added bonus of coffee shop with home baked food

The Garden centre side of things have gone down in bit in recent years. The coffee shop is excellent though and so is the gift shop.

Whilst visiting La Vida the boutique, I decided to try the coffee shop in the attached garden centre. the home baking and coffee were delicious and I found the staff very friendly and helpful.I am a keen gardener and found a good selection of plants in the garden centre aswell. I would highly recommend this place if you are in the area.

This garden centre is a fantastic family run business with so much to offer! I can thoroughly recommend a coffee and cake at the coffee shop during your visit. The plants are thriving and the giftware etc available within the shop is excellent - such a vast selection! To top it off the service here really is second to none! EVERYONE is SO helpful and couldn't do more to assist you! When you leave this garden centre you leave with a head full of innovative ideas, a boot full of beautiful plants and a definite smile on your face!

This place is AWFUL. I will never shop here again and I am telling everyone in the area not to. This last Saturday, we had just picked up our itty, bitty new puppy (no bigger than a hairbrush) and walked in the store and asked RIGHT AWAY at the counter "Is it ok if we shop for a few minutes if we hold her the entire time" (we couldn't put her down on the floor anyway, she is too tiny) and the lady behind the counter said "sure, no bother, just stay out of the tea room". So we went around happily and even 4 random shoppers stopped awww'ed and patted her tiny head, After about 20 mins we had gathered a basket of about 5 items (totalling £50 or so) and were by the front of the shop looking at the candles (which I was going to buy about 3 - another £30) when this RUDE, LOUD, HORRIBLE MAN came up to my husband and shouted "NO DOGS ALLOWED - GET OUT". He was so rude we were actually shaken. Then I spoke to the owner who was just as RUDE. Do not go to this store!!

Good Garden Centre, the plants tend to be a better quality, staff can be a little unhelpful at times, Cafe was nice enough (good cakes) but the place is a a bit of a drive away. A bit pricey too

This coffee shop and garden centre is a favourite trip out for us. The food and service is second to none, wonderful cakes, great selection of hot and cold drinks, great homemade soup, bacon rolls etc.. The garden centre is a pleasure to walk around and has a wonderful variety of plants, shrubs and trees. Loads of pots, ornaments etc. too. Looking for a gift? There is a good selection of gifts, candles etc. in the shop as well as everything for the gardener, barbecue king etc. It is one of the few places where you can buy birdseed, peanuts etc. by weight. Unlike the chain garden centres such as Dobbies if you buy a plant here the owner will tell you how to plant it and look after it and can give gardening advice.

The garden centre has all you'd expect to find from garden tools to quality plants. Also good advice from the staff. Ample parking and help to the car. The cafe is a popular meeting place for coffees and lunches. The menu has lots of homemade choices. Also great boutique upstairs.

The cafe has a varied menu but does have a specials board which varies from week to week and they do bacon rolls all day long. Give it a try.

I have read the review from John in Glasgow and can only say I thoroughly agree with his comments. I have been visiting this garden centre coffee shop for many years and frequently have lunch and coffee there. The staff are very friendly and the selection is fabulous. The tables are kept clean and not left with dirty dishes which I especially hate to see. There is a lovely quiet buzz in the Topiary Coffee Shop of friends out enjoying each others' company and a selection of good food.This is a garden centre coffee shop not to be missed and with reasonable prices it is definitely one for a visit.

I tend to find the tearooms of garden centres are overcrowded and overpriced. The Topiary Coffee Shop in Fairley's Garden Centre has been an exception to this rule on the occasions I have visited it. It is well laid out, airy and bright. There is a good selection of eats and lovely homebakng, all at a very reasonable price. The staff are efficient, happy and friendly which is also a major plus. I would certainly recommend a visit to the tearoom after browsing the plants and gardening merchandise.
