Homegrown Garden Centre in North Lanarkshire

Lovely place to eat, food was delicious. They catered for my mother who is in a wheelchair & deaf and we were given a quiet spot which helped her immensely. Great choice of cakes/sweet ‘things’…

Quick visit on Easter Sunday. A fabulous array of chocolatey cakes available, we sampled a ganache style millionaire shortbread and some malteaser crispy cake and both were brilliant, far better than mass produced rubbish you get at most cafes. They’ve just opened up an old storeroom into a seating area so there is loads of space and light now. Good service as well. Great place to give the dog a walk on the old golf course before/after your cake.

Delicious, fresh lunch, great service from friendly staff. Fantastic views from within a relaxed atmosphere. Always an enjoyable day out, especially with added pleasure of visiting the garden centre 😊🌟

Food is delicious, staff excellent and knowledgeable. Really lovely restaurant. Cakes AMAZING! Removal of one star as staff are clearly over stretched, they could have served us much quicker and we could have left quicker to free up our table for the long line of people waiting if there were adequate staff on.

If their gardening is anything like their driving I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. Having been overtaken in a QUEUE at road works by a Muppet in a branded van I can only assume attention to detail is not a strong point. Hopefully takes a bit more care going forward before he's responsible for an accident.

Whilst its early days for the garden centre the restaurant is fully working. The food and service is excellent. The setting is very tranquil and pleasant and the fact you can book online is an absolute bonus. The cakes and breakfast pastries were amazing. By the looks of the current state, the Christmas themed areas will be very tasteful and a bit different to what’s on offer nearby. The staff, without exception, were welcoming and keen to hear the views of customers. Such a refreshing experience. I think Homegrown is an excellent newcomer to the area.

Homegrown opened in April '23 and seems very much to have hit the ground running. Although I am personally no horticulturist, the outdoor space has a profusion of plants, pots and implements, that should be more than capable of pleasing gardening aficionados. Not to be left out, home furnishing enthusiasts will revel in the ever-growing selection of goods. To the cafe space. Tastefully decorated and busy enough to perhaps consider using the high ceiling space as a mezzanine! A small and perfectly formed choice of dishes, that caters across the board. We had a Pastrami Benedict, which was very tasty and splendidly presented. Minor point...sourdough toast needs to be toasted a tad darker, as that wonderful chewy elasticity, makes cutting into it a bit troublesome if it's only glimpsed the toaster. Our fellow luncher had a Veggie HLT. Couple of points here. Sounds weird, but I wonder if the bread could be cut a bit thinner. Thick cut is good for a lot of bread lovers, but older people might find a doorstop more cumbersome...and dare I say, intimidating...it was a splendidly large sarnie!! Halloumi is a nice option, but has to be eaten pretty swiftly, as it's quite leathery on cooling. My food comments come from cafe experience...I owned one for a number of years. They are not implied criticism, but rather I hope, helpful for a fledgling operation. Lastly, the staff. Absolutely brilliant. Cheery, engaging, patient and efficient. Everything an Owner (and a customer) could ask for. Homegrown is a wee joy. Interested to see how it develops over time. I'll find out, as I intend to remain a customer...
