Parkhill Garden Centre in Aberdeenshire

Great service, Quality food at reasonable price excellent all round experience that made a visit to this Garden Centre all the more memorable. Many Thanks.

We had a lovely coffee, tea, heater pancake and scone today at Parkhill Garden centre café and the girl serving us was very friendly and the service was great. Thank you

We found this lovely garden centre while looking for a bite of lunch on our travels. Sadly,could not buy any tempting plants being away from home but enjoyed a delicious bowl of hearty soup and a filled roll,served efficiently by the friendly staff. No room for the yummy scones and cakes to follow! I thought the waitress had undercharged,as the price seemed so reasonable,so I was baffled by some complaints about the cost. Certainly,in our home area of Perthshire,we expect to pay more for a similar garden centre lunch. We will certainly return if we are in the area again.

My family are regulars at Parkhill as we live not too far away. I've been twice recently with my mum and sister for afternoon tea. This is hands down one of the nicest afternoon teas we've had. Really brilliant! For £11 each, we got sandwiches, scones and a massive selection of cakes. So much that I had to take home some of them! I've paid twice as much elsewhere and not felt any more impressed. - Excellent value for money. I have been with my hubby and my son for lunch many times as well. The food is always good and so reasonably priced. My only criticism of the lunches... 1. You used to get salad as standard with a panini. Now you have to ask for it as an extra. This feels a bit disappointing considering it's a fairly standard addition elsewhere. I can't ever if you have to pay extra for the salad or not. Maybe they found people were leaving it on the plate previously (?) 2. If after your lunch you want a cake or something it can sometimes be hard to get hold of a member of staff. I normally head up to the counter but it feels a bit rude on my part. All in all this is one of our favourite lunch spots 💗

We found restaurant clean, staff pleasant and helpful. 1 veggie brekki and scrambled egg/bacon went down a treat....we were both happy with what we were served and enjoyed every bite!

Very disappointed with our lunch here today. Ordered two paninis only to discover you have to pay extra for a tiny portion of crisps, coleslaw etc - all items that accompany the dish in other similar establishments. All chefs should take pride in presentation, adding sides with sandwiches/paninis in future isn’t a big ask. Paying £20 for two tasteless coronation chicken paninis with no spice, very little chicken filling and no offer of “sides” included as standard is unacceptable. Staff are polite however all staff are rushing around and don’t appear to communicate with customers other than when placing the order. Sadly, we won’t be returning and will take our business elsewhere.

Used to come here all the time but I have been really unwell and been stuck in all the time. My family and I went there today. Food was nice. I had a tuna n cheese baked . Potato What got me was if you wanted salad or coleslaw or crisps which you used to get anyway they charged you extra. I think that is disgusting. Cafe was packed as usual, so they are obviously taking in the money without having to charge extra for what is expected to accompany a baked potato.

Garden centre looks nice and cafe rather busy but sadly didn’t see much more of it as it isn’t dog friendly. Family are new to the area and wanted to support an independent business but sadly that won’t be possible so it was back to Dobbies which does cater for dogs. Pity. Ironically I did noticed that it did sell some doggy merchandise. It looked worth a visit but not with your dog. 👨🏻🐶☹️

I was made aware the cafe was about to close by the waitress. Not verbally telling their remaining customers, but by slapping three bills onto the last three tables (while all still eating) saying here is your bill. No communications to see if the tables wanted anything else and clearly was not finished. That is the rudest way to get customers out fast.

our plans were cancelled at the last minute, so we ordered the take away Xmas meal. the quality and amount were fabulous. the turkey, thick cut breast was moist and tasty with a delicious gravy. sticky toffee pudding was luxurious. well done and a great big thank you.

We have been a few times for breakfast and lunch. The food is always very good and the staff are super efficient and quick. Nothing is too much trouble. The have excellent gluten free bread and cakes too.

We came for the first time to coffee shop since the restrictions have been in place. Every precaution has been taken to keep customers safe. Shown quickly to table by waitress. However sat for a while as 2 other waitresses continued drying cutlery and putting it away.(visit was at 3.15pm) They totally ignored us and carried on with what they were doing-does the customer not come first? We were then served and the coffee/tea and cakes were really nice. Always feel here that they want you to leave so that they can clear up and go home. Where is the friendly young bloke(manager?) that used to be there? He was so good with the customers.

You can't park there! was our first interaction here. It didn't help that the 'no parking zone' was between the 2 disabled spots and looked the same especially as the disabled markings were faded and was not hatched out. Cafe service was good, coffee was weak. Very poor mobile phone signal and no WiFi provided isn't great.

Had lunch with a friend in the coffee shop at the Parkhill Garden Centre. I had lentil and vegetable soup and farmhouse bread which was very nice. My friend had tomato soup which she said was lovely. She also had a scone and jam also very nice. Covid precautions seemed to be in place and we waited to be seated. Everything appeared clean and tables were wiped after use. The staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't have any cakes but those on display looked lovely.

Met friends for coffee and scone (cranberry & apple). Made very welcome by friendly staff who brought the food quickly, including extra coffees when we asked. Felt COVID safe. Would definitely recommend.

Stopped here for a coffee on the way home. We both had Americano coffees and the special scone (Oat, Raisin & Cinnamon). Coffee and scones were good and service was efficient.

I had visited the store yesterday and as I was asking for an advice to sale assistant I had been told off that my child was standing on a trolley. I do not mind to be reminded about rules and policies of the store however...

With ample parking immediately outside, this makes a great place to stop, just off the Aberdeen bypass. We called in for a light lunch and found a choice of two home-made soups on the menu. The soup/sandwich combo is always great value, with a good...

There is a really friendly atmosphere at this restaurant. Food of excellent quality and very reasonably priced. The Cullen skink soup and scones and rock cakes are to be recommended. Many of the staff have worked there for a long time and are very friendly...

Dropped in for morning coffee and soon discovered the atmosphere in the place was sombre to say the least. The woman who saw us to our seat never smiled or spoke to us. She took our order again with no smile on her face and...

Reading the reviews only appear to review the restaurant which by the way is fantastic, great food and friendly servic, but it is also a Garden Centre. Am a regular visitor. It has a vast range of flowers, plants and shrubs, garden accessories and a...

After an early morning flight from London we went here with our granddaughter for breakfast. The wife and I had the small breakfast, our granddaughter had the scrambled eggs with hot smoked salmon. As always the produce is top class and cooked perfectly & served...

So good local fare but the time taken to give your order is rediculous. Serving staff are all terribly grumpy and never crack a smile or offer any conversation. If the food was not so scrumptious we'd never go back. Management need to get a...

Food is always good here, good selection of scones and cakes and always quite quick to come out. However the staff are so rude it’s unreal. Everyone mentions it, it’s a running joke about the cafe. If they are doing something they will not acknowledge...

Superb local garden centre out in countryside serving delicious local menu. Soup and and sandwich was great and range of home baking is delightful. Staff are courteous and friendly. This place is busy so be repaired to wait

Great food with very friendly staff. Well priced too. Plenty of choice. Perhaps need some more tables as it gets do busy, and you are not rushed to give up the table.

Mike and I go every Sunday for breakfast , the food is amazing and the staff do such a wonderful job , the young girls are so friendly but my favourite member of staff is a young man called Aidan who greets us by name...

We wanted to use the new stretch of the AWPR over the river and when we came off we were near Parkhill so continued to visit the Garden Centre.The restaurant was busy and we waited a few minutes for a table. We had breakfast items...

Food is pretty decent and fresh for thd price, no complaints on tgat front. Normally have salads and they are fine. Only gripe is tables are too close together, it's like having other people in your personal space it's a shame because apart from that...

Enjoyed the breakfast rolls and coffee on Saturday morning. The cafe wasn't busy but we waited a minute or so to be seated. Felt it was a bit expensive but good quality. Coffee was also very good.

Went here last week for lunch with our old mother, she and I had a wonderful bowl of Cullen skink and my good lady's bowl of lentil and veg soup was perfectly acceptable. Two big chunks of bread each and a drink. Busy place -...

Aidan is a young man who makes you very welcome, homemade food which is excellent and a good choice to choose from.

Staff are very helpful and friendly and make you feel welcome. Service and food is great. Reasonable prices. Plenty parking available and the attached Garden Centre is well worth a browse.

We were running late after 2 before we got here but they serve lunch until 3 o’clock. Good food friendly staff never disappointed here.
