Refresh At Severn Hospice in Dumfries & Galloway

Have called in here a couple of times before and not been that impressed but needed to kill an hour or so and wanted a light lunch… You have to wait to be seated as you enter the cafe area,greeted by someone with a thunderous look on her face and told all tables reserved approx an hour or two from now and did I just want coffee and cake? When I eventually got a seat and ordered my tea and cake,wasn’t going to pay £7 for an egg sandwich same woman slapped order down and walked off.The refreshment was adequate but the service dreadful.I’m sat here now feeling like an unwanted carnivore at a vegan feast! I volunteer for this company and would never dream of speaking to people in this manner, where is the cheerful “can I help, yes we have tables but they are reserved later,here we go,enjoy “ etc.

One of favourite places to go and meet friends knowing that I’m giving to a really worthy cause. Gorgeous food and reasonable priced..

This is not the usual place you would walk off the street to go for lunch but it is well worth seeking out. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a good choice on the menu and all diets are catered for (my wife's Gluten Free diet did not cause any problems). The food is well presented and tasty. I had a "Ploughmans", which was ample and very good value for money. Dogs are also welcome.
