Garrion Bridges in North Lanarkshire

1st class service for Poppy your our big monster, we were welcomed by Selina, an absolute gem, she made us feel so welcome and made such a fuss over us , thank you Garrion Bridge

Went for Sunday lunch with my husband, I had the “Special” beef brisket with roast potatoes, veg & gravy £11.95 - it was paltry and quite frankly vile. All veg including toatie wee roasties were frozen, beef was tender but tasteless and gravy tasted of something sour like vinegar, definitely not beef. Husband had steakpie also tiny, with toatie wee anaemic boiled pots and same frozen veg as me think his was £9.95 - what a disappointment - how can you dish this up to people, even if you’re not a proper restaurant & yes prices might reflect that, and think you’ll get away with it with all the competition you have along the Clyde Valley. I did say to the very nice young waitress, who asked if I’d like her to take it back and clear off all the veg from my plate??

Second time in few weeks I've came here for lunch and both times it was delicious meat was breakaway tender and ample portions. Staff very friendly even though they were extremely busy will definitely be back

We live less than 5 minutes from here, we tend to eat in the main restaurant area and every time we go there I can always count on getting an excellent value, very tasty meal! Even if I have not tried a dish before I can do so here with confidence because I can rely on the food being quite excellent, every single time! We as a couple always get excellent service every time from very friendly staff, every member of staff is friendly here and all give exceptional service every time. Nothing is a problem to them. The vegetables are always perfect without being overdone, the meat is always perfect, succulent, and guaranteed to taste great every time; even the fish is perfect! A great choice of desert too although we usually find that the food itself is so good that its plenty for us and maybe have just a cake each. Hot and cold drinks are available and most types of tea are available; we drink Earl Grey tea at home so its good to have it here too. Well done for a well deserved review! We'll always come back!

We have been a few times since finding problems at another cafe in the Clyde Valley. It does seem to have attracted more customers of late so it must be doing things right. You are allocated a table as you enter and then order at the counter with food then served at the table. There is a decent selection of cold food and cakes etc. and the quality is good and prices reasonable. There are a number of similar food outlets in the valley but this is our current favourite. It does close late afternoon so does not serve dinner.

Our ladies group had High Tea for Christmas.We were in a lovely private room. It was beautifully set for us.There was a lovely selection of sandwiches,scones with butter, jam and cream and a lovely selection of cakes.The Staff were excellent and kept us going with refills of coffee and tea.Nothing was too much bother for them. I also had a dinner 3 weeks ago.I had steak pie and my friend had fish and chips. It was a really good size portion and it was lovely.Again the Staff are so friendly and helpful.I can recommend.

The whole centre is great but the restaurant/cafe is fab! We were unsure of what to expect as it was our first visit. The Front of House Manager was friendly and efficient, the use of the lightbulb was amusing to us newcomers but worked a treat when ordering. Each member of the team was friendly and worked very well doing their particular role of service. The quality and quantity of food great at a very good price to meet most peoples budget in the present climate. I am looking forward to my next visit so I can skip the mains so I have room for a cake 😋. Well done to all the staff and whoever has done the training.

Lovely lunch today with friends. Service was great, menu had something to suit all appetites and tastes. Paninis had plenty of filling, freshly toasted with side salad & coleslaw. Wonderful cake selection, best I've seen in a while. My banoffee pie was delicious, strawberry tarts were winners too. Great value for money, will definitely visit again soon.

Visited today just for a coffee and cake. When ordering I asked for an extra butter portion and was utterly shocked to find I was charged 45p for this and 45p for the portion of jam that was wrapped up with the scone. Overall £11.45 for what we had was extortionate.

2cnd visit in a fortnight and will be the last for eating. Miserable portions, toasties barely had any filling inside and therefore very dry to eat, egg mayonnaise sandwich was pathetic too, had a scrape of filling inside. Coffee is not pleasant. Very disappointing, wouldn’t take much to improve but they’re obviously more concerned with making money ☹️

Great food and service, very covid safe and generally a nice day out. Food came within 15 minutes and tasted brilliant. Staff always happy and helpful. Came back twice in the one week because we enjoyed it so much. :)

Very interesting place , staff very approachable and helpful Reasturant food very good . Well priced . Very clean . Would recommend to friends

Visited here yesterday, ordered food and was surprised to here that it was £45, asked the waiter to check it was all correct which he said it was, I ordered a cheese and tuna panini and the people I was with ordered a soup each (3 people). The food then came out and it was 4 soups, advised I ordered a panini, the soup was taken away and another soup brought back out. I again said I didn’t order soup, they then brought out my panini, it was a panini with salad and a large portion of cheese. I asked the girl why I had a portion of cheese and she said that’s what comes with the salad, looking at other peoples salad they didn’t have cheese with it. I suspect when I asked for a cheese and tuna panini I was charged extra for the cheese. Service was appalling and had to chase the people a number of times and had to request to speak to a manager to get my money back for the soup. We then ordered sponge cake and custard and i think they forgot to bring it back out. Had to chase this again, don’t think I’ll be back due to the very poor service. Didn’t bother challenging my portion of cheese as I had a hassle getting my money back for the extra soup

Lots of COVID prevention put in place and staff working hard upholding the COVID restriction rules. Comfortable and great food. Garrion is a worthwhile place to spend a few hours. And the Antiques Centre is like a museum Bringing back memories of days gone by.

Well organised tea room. Very Covid aware. Food fresh and hot. Whole place organised and we felt secure and safe.

Very much enjoyed a light lunch today, however was brought back to earth by the owner of the wool shop which is a tenant within the garden centre. My wife was charged for using her contactless debit card, the owner clearly stated this was to cover the charge. I was present at the transaction. This is illegal. Great lunch spot, excellent antique centre but will avoid the wool shop in future as other places exist.

We both visited this garden centre, cafe/restaurant, collectors centre and not for the first time, we must say it's well worth a visit when in the area, the garden centre is not massive but worth a visit to the keen horticulturist, where as the collectors centre is somewhat larger and well worth a visit, it also has ample parking space.

The cafe was well adapted to the covid-19 situation. Well laid out and nice menu for a takeaway quick service too. Top marks for the people involved.

Garion bridges is the only place to go if you’re in the area. 5 star food 5 star service comfy chairs plenty of space between the tables and a great shopping experience lots of unique gifts. My favourite was the wedding hat section and my mums was the antiques.

Visited today with my parents and kids and won't be back. Soup was a tiny bowl of tasteless potato's that was meant to be potato and leek for £3.50 without even a roll! My sons toastie was shop bought bread and greasy. Chicken burger was awful on a dry shop bought roll and my mums macaroni was the best out the lot but still not great. It's such a shame that this place is situated in some of the best farm land in Scotland and they can't use local produce! Everything is shop bought and frozen... Just awful! Despite the terrible food the staff are pleasant but thats not enough! If this was my cafe I'd be ashamed! Oh and don't come here if you're vegan.... They are way behind and only had one soup (which I sent back) and a baked potato and beans!

After a tiring shopping trip , this is located in the same building. Lovely food when we were in, but feel the bustle of the adjacent shops can be a bit off putting. Apart from that , all omay

Have had lunch here a few times and have not been disappointed with the food and the service. They cater for people like me who have to have gluten free food, and the meringues are large and very tasty 😋

Not as busy as usual.....road works immediately outside premises causing terrible traffic jams. Lunch up to its normal high standards served by happy staff Good choice on menu Will return

Food was ok but nothing special for the price. Quite small portions. Antique centre ok but wouldn't use the cafe again

Enjoyed our fresh panini and sandwich on our first visit to this attractive garden centre and shop. Scores high on disabled parking and its mobility shop. Can be difficult to find if you put the address into your satnav - it’s a mile OUTSIDE Overtown going towards Lanark.

Best in area, cafe is well appointed, good food and friendly staff.A variety of outlets providing a wide range of goods - visit the sweet shop!

Everytine we come it is always busy. We love the snowballs with the cream. I love lentil soup but they have put me right off as they had put celery which you just dont do that. Yuck.sorry.

Restaurant clean fair variety of food, but just wanted a shot pit stop sandwich and drink brown bread was hard and bottle overpriced

Met up with family for cakes, coffee and soft drinks at Garrion Bridges and then walked round the Antique Centre. No queue when we went in so swift service. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Lentil soup advertised only as 'lentil soup' NO mention of ham. Vegetarian found a lump of ham in the soup (confirmed as tasted by non vegetarian). Proprieter initially argued that there was NO ham in the soup as meat is not a componant in lental soup....proprieter then checked with the kitchen and then stated ham WAS a componant in lentil soup. Not even an apology offered. Poor show. Very dissapointed.

Had afternoon tea here in Cafe du Jardin today. Faultless! We enjoyed everything - and almost ate everything - from mini sausage rolls, chicken nuggets, sandwiches, mini scones and a lovely selection of mini cakes! All this was topped by a cocktail teapot. Service relaxed and easy, no rush whatsoever and our waitress very friendly and helpful. All in all, worth every penny!!

Had light lunch there. Soup very nice at £3.50 but dismayed to find we were charged an extra 45p each for rolls. All the other garden centres in area have an inclusive price for soup and a roll. Cakes fine. Staff helpful.

Restaurant food not good value for money poor quantity for the money salad with sandwich very poor good selection of cakes staff nice but would not eat there again

Lovely quiet afternoon tea that was very well priced. Unlimited tea with the backdrop of the gardens. The only thing I would say is that the room had no ambience. A background of soft music would make it a better experience. Can not fault the service! Spot on for attention to detail.

Visited today and stood for ages at the counter waiting to order food whereby 3 members of staff - standing right in front of us - carried on a discussion among themselves and not one acknowledged our presence until we gave up in disgust & moved away. All that was required was for one of them to have the manners to acknowledge our presence and say they would be with us shortly or at least explain why a big queue of people were being kept waiting. If this is their idea of good customer service they can keep it. This was our first visit & it will be our last!

Was at Garrion Bridges today for a spot of Lunch which was great and staff were very quick and efficient. My friend and i went to the wool shop to brouse. The assistant which I think was called Brenda was absolutely great. She couldn't have been more helpfull. Would highly recommend.

The cafe is usually busy but the staff move things along quickly while maintaining a friendly approach customers.The food is home cooked and generally very good qualityandvalue for money and the coffee has a good robust flavour. Its comfortable though fairly basic in decoration and equally good for groups or if you are popping in on your own.

Come down here often as it’s local. Self-service nice enough food - small portions at full price but the foods tasty and the place is always busy. Lots of choice and we’ll be back as it’s really convenient.

Our Guild went for afternoon tea service excellent and dainties appetising with tea and coffee as desired. Would recommend them everytime.

Use this place often, it’s local to me, and handy to meet friends for a coffee or lunch, always found the staff very nice and helpful, the food is good and served fresh and hot, a good choice of cakes and pastries, a busy cafe but staff are always around clearing and cleaning tables, good comfortable chairs and great atmosphere.

Had the soup and roll followed by a pastry and tea. It was nice. It is self-service. Staff pleasant.

Had a lovely Mother’s Day afternoon tea in the tea room. Everything was lovely and delicious! Sandwiches were cut daintily and were so fresh, scones were light and not too big and all finished off with a lovely selection of cakes. Staff were friendly and attentive and there was an offer of more tea and coffee.

The Garrion Bridges seems to have stopped being a garden nursery and expanded the cafe, tea room, vast displays of objects and so called antiques.

Had breakfast with my sister on a Thursday morning and the food was good but a little pricey by comparison to other local garden centres for a similar breakfast. There's plenty of room and the cafe is clean and well organised. The staff are friendly and efficient. It's nice to be able to have a wander around the antique centre and individual shop units between coffees. All in all, worth a visit.

popped in for lunch today and we had a very tasty lunch. There was a good selection to choose from the menu . We opted for the panninis and we struggled to eat it all. It was well presented, couldn't fault it.

Unfortunately my visit today wasn’t any better than the last time. I had a prawn jacket potato again. This time the potato was a generous size and only just cooked through. I asked for a decent portion of prawns, but they were rubbery and chewy, a small basic salad on the side was a bit soggy. I really don’t know why I came here again, but I won’t be back, sorry!

We are regular visitoes to the Antique Centre here but usually avoid the cafe as we had a bad experience some time ago. On this occasion we had a visitor with us so convenience won the vote and hot soup and rolls seemed a good option. The soup was fine and hot but I always feel the rolls are tiny? Also paid for a mug of coffee but was served a cup. This was corrected when I asked so again that was fine. There are lots of options here too from snacks to full meals so it is popular and good value too.

Decidimos tener una luz de comer y lo que me encantó de este lugar es que ofrecía porciones más pequeñas para aquellos que no quieren el menú, no el de un niño, pero sólo pequeños menú principal y me fue perfectamente. Mi única crítica es que la comida era un poco tibia y shaould he solicitado se calienta pero no lo hicimos.

Visited here after a recommendation & have to say not disappointed. Staff friendly & chatty with God variety of lunch options. Variety of cakes to choose from & well priced. Would visit again if in the area.

Una gran variedad de comida disponible de desayunos, bocadillos, hamburguesas, paninis, sopas y comidas completas si tienes hambre. Agradable para un almuerzo mientras visita a la vuelta de muchos armarios navegar por antiguos, las tiendas y el centro de jardín. Si quieres una opción más...

En este poco paramos de té que es parte del jardín/centro de antigüedades cerca del puente del río Clyde's crossing histórico Puente Garrion. Nos dimos cuenta de la sala de té, que es independiente de la cafetería restaurante más grandes y también en el centro...

Muy popular para luz o más abundante almuerzo. Buena selección de pasteles y bandeja de quingombó, un montón de espacio y un personal amable y servicial.

Visitamos el restaurante varias veces y disfrutamos de una gran variedad de comidas en distintos momentos del día. Todo servido rápidamente y de forma agradable con un personal muy amable. Se sirve una selección de comidas principales en porciones más pequeñas o completo para los paladares más pequeñas, que es una idea excelente, así como porciones de los niños. Un entorno encantador. Volveremos pronto.

Great family afternoon out, extensive menu with kiddies in mind too, be sure to check out the antiques shop at the rear for a bargain, child changing facilities are roomy and immaculately presented, lots of car parking facilities.

Been for another visit to Garrion Bridges, had an amazing coffee and cake in the new coffee shop, it is stunning and well worth a visit it's bright and beautiful thinking about booking for a family get together ideal for a Wee gathering it's private compact and very pleasant. Getting ready for Santa any day now, just love the amazing athmosphere at Garrion Bridges, especially on the build up to Christmas.lots of beautiful Christmas decorations and definately a must for gifts I bought a beautiful pashmina, wrap with a fur collar, looks a million dollars and very reasonably priced. Another new addition is a new car park adjacent to the main building. Well done Gsrrion bridges, just love my visits always something new happening.

Sadly the cafe feels like an oldstyle cafeteria rather than a relaxing place to spend some time. (The new separate tea room i have yet to try). Food in the cafe is fairly average with slightly higher than the norm prices, presentation not great. Can get very busy as the shopping units are very popular.

Garrion Bridges is a fun place to visit. Since last visit, she shops have been re-organised for Christmas... and they look all set for the coming season. Lunch was ordered and quickly served... we had the 'Chicken Special' and it came with a good array of vegetables and a generous offering of meat. And after lunch, we enjoyed a stroll around the new layout with a view to coming back for Christmas shopping next month.

Great afternoon tea. plenty to eat, staff very friendly and nice, could not eat everything. The afternoon tea is bookable and is in the new tea room not the other eating area. There is a choice of 4 different afternoon teas to choose from to suit your budget.You can then walk of some of the food browsing through the other units in the garden centre

very busy area and not well managed. staff dont have a area to work on but are all over the place.only one till and always a queue but the food is varied

I often stop here for lunch if I'm passing. An intriguing place with an eclectic mix of shopping and a competent mid price cafe.. I can't speak for the cakes etc but hot meals are reliably tasty and filling. Certainly far preferable to the soul less Dobies that are popping up everywhere.

My family live nearby, thus this was a local meeting point. The cakes are dry and cheap tasting/looking. The food is tacky and too basic. The stovies should be listed as a soup. The decor and facilities are very tired looking. The staff are moody and get you through the servery as quick as possible (not good when it is done without a hello and/or a smile.The shopping area is more like a market, with a strange range of products, ranging from cards, pet supplies and adult incontinence supplies.

Too say I am disappointed is an understatement Scottish stovies was more like a vegetable soup more carrots than anything else my wife had fresh haddock on which batter was too thick and fish was quite dry definitely over priced meal for two coffee and a coke just under 19 pounds

We go here now.It is nice and clean. very comfortable seats, staff pleasant and helpful.Good value for money. After your meal you can browse around the stalls or go to the antique shop. if it is wet outside, then you can pass time here They now have a private room for funerals or bus groups

I know people may say why the scampi? They just have more flavour here. The other food is pretty good too and I know some people who just come for the huge meringues or the steak and onion baguettes. All are yummy. The staff are friendly and helpful, the menu is broad and all tastes should find something suitable. The restaurant is situated in the Garden and antique centre and is rather high roofed and can be noisy but the food is cheap and cheerful. The place can be very busy, more proof that it is good value and there is so much to see around you. Thoroughly enjoyable, a regular meeting and eating place for us.

this is a fantastic place - we had a great time and had a good look around afterwards we went for a coffee and scone.The staff are very friendly and will help you.We will be going back.

Been in Garrion Bridges for a coffee a few times now and definitely won't be back!The cappuccino doesn't even look like a cappuccino and I've just been charged for an extra jam I didn't even have! By far the worst garden centre cafe in the Clyde Valley!

An excellent stop over on a journey or local destination for shopping or food, especially on a wet day.

Nice wee visit with an elderly relative. Nice soup and the cakes are fab. The shops are great and loads of wheelchairs if required. Staff always pleasant.

Popped in for our favourite macaroni and cheese. Great taste and worth a try. Staff helpful and pleasant.

Great choice from breakfast, baked potatoes, paninis to meals. Something for everyone at realistic prices

Three of us had lunch at Garrion Bridges. We each paid our own main course. I had mince pie, beans and chips and it cost 3 pounds 95 plus 1 pound 95 for a small latte. We decided to have coffee and cakes. Three pieces of cake and two mugs of latte cost 9 pounds 20. I think these prices are good. Garrion Bridges is well worth a visit- it is very interesting with such an assortment of things for sale. It is the ideal place if you are looking for a gift. Look here first if you need a hat or bag for a wedding. Also you can find wools, sweets, antiques, jewellery, garden furniture and mobility aids. These are only some of the items they stock. I really enjoy my visits to the Bridges.

If you are looking for somewhere nice to wander around and buy cards and gifts, Garrion Bridge is excellent. Huge antique warehouse with lots of nice jewellery and unusual items to suit all budgets. Lovely gift shops and then great tea room for a light lunch. Worth a visit. Try the steak and onion baguette!

Ideal place to browse for unusual items however if you are peckish just leave. Service is slow, unorganised and hardly what you could call welcoming. The food is awful and the "fresh" baking may have been at some point long ago ! Plenty of other places would welcome your custom but certainly not here.

II think the only thing it doesn't sell is food. But maybe I just missed that. where do I start, from all the usual garden accoutiments, to umbrellas, facinator hats, bags, baby goods, books, ornaments, flowers, kitchen equipment, jewellery, etc., etc., Then we walked into an Antiques Centre with cases of jewellery, Doulton figures, silver, small pieces of furniture and bigger pieces of furniture. To sum it up, a great place ofr a wet Sunday. after saying that I look forward to returning on a nice sunny day. and P.S. it has a lovely cafe with calorie free cakes !! (Well that's what the lady told me!!)

Went here for a quick lunch. Garrion Bridges itself is an interesting place to visit. There is the antiques part, this is where you could spend a good couple of hours. There is a lot to see, both antique and modern. From secondhand clothing to furniture, artwork, crockery, books, jewellery and ornaments. Fascinating place to browse. Outside the antiques part there are lots of shops selling baby items, handbags/ unusual umbrellas, Scottish goods, cookery items, crafts and wool dept. and various other units. There is also an outdoor area selling plant pots, garden ornaments and plants. The Perfect Percolations coffee shop/café has a good sized menu. Plenty of seating and is suitable for disabled visitors. A comfortable place to rest after spending time in the outlet part. Staff are pleasant, and the cafe is clean and comfortable.

Lovely lunch today in Perfect Perculstions at Garrion Bridges. Food fresh and cooked to order, lovely home baking. Wheelchair friendly and excellent place to eat.

Popped in saturday lunchtime for a "soup and sandwich" type pit stop. Two of us.I opted for the pea and ham soup and cheese and ham toastie. Both were very tasty but the toastie was £4.90. I'm chuckling even as I type that....My wife opted for the lentil soup which again was nice....and a cheese savoury wrap. She got a wrap with just cheese.We asked for another and were given a frankly inedible sloppy mess of tasteless mayonnaise with tiny bits of veg and non real sign of cheese.We cut our losses at that point.Surly service at the cashpoint but the young girl who brought our food was nice enough.Ridiculously expensive for what you get. Very disappointed.

busy tearoom/ restaurant set within garrion bridges antique centre. Ample parking for such a large establishment, mobility scooters are free at the door for patrons use. Tearoom is self service, but very efficient even at busiest periods. Food ranges from home made cakes, scones, teas, coffees, to sandwiches, home made soups( choice of three) baked potatoes, main course specials, kids meals etc. nice comfortable couches to lounge on with daily papers on the tables. Traditional seating available too. Staff are very pleasant, a wee special,mention for Anna, a polish member of staff, friendly, smiling, efficient young lady. We only had coffee this visit as we had a late brunch. Best place in the clydevalley. Adore the antiques centre, separate review.

Stopped off on the way home from holiday - wish I had kept going. Place looked clean, usual garden centre type place - over priced and filled with expensive stuff! Ordered small macaroni cheese no chips, tuna sandwich on brown bread with side salad - received very small portion of macaroni with chips ( frozen), tuna sandwich - WHITE STALE bread and a few lettuce leaves with a few bits of raw onion on top. JUST KEEP GOING! It's not worth the bother!

This garden centre grows each time I visit, various stall/shops to browse. Had a few lunches, reasonably priced, nice garden section and well stocked sweet shop.

A garden centre, with antiques as well as art and gifts items for sale. Also has a busy self service tearoom.

Nipped in for a cuppa, staff are verging on rude, cakes etc left on open display and judging by taste have been for a considerable period of time. Will not be back

Taking Mother in Law for a drive round the Garden Centres, dropped in here and wandered round enjoying the place. Bough a couple of thing and decided to try out the café.Nice clean setting, table and chairs etc were spotless, no smell of greasy cooking.A good selection of baking, sandwiches, toasties, etc and even full meals, reasonably priced.Staff were pleasant and helpful. We sat down and even though the place was busy our hot snacks were quickly brought to the table. The food was lovely and very tasty.Nice place to eat if you are passing the area.
