Shielings Cafe in South Lanarkshire

Never in my life have I paid £5.75 for 2 slices of bread and grated cheese 🫣 Some serious reconsideration of realistic pricing needs to happen!

I was out with my Grandchildren on the 23rd of July,the weather was scorching.I went to the cafe to get 2 waters and 2 ice lollies.It cost me nearly £10,the ice lollies are not suitable for young kids age 2,they were far too big for them.You should sell the small milk type ones.The prices are a disgrace for Families who are living in an expensive climate.Its a complete rip off to the public.I was going to stay for a coffee whilst my husband took the kids to the swings,but I soon changed my mind very quickly the staff serving were dirty looking and covered in sleeves of tattoos and that was just the females.I shudder to think what the state of the kitchen would be if that is the serving staff.Gone are the good old days when advertising for staff in the hospitality sector that no sleeves of tats should apply.Get your bloody act together and the proper staff.

Eileen, Eve, Myra and Mel work very hard to ensure that we are satisfied with quality of food served to members of public. Today I enjoyed "Mel's" Carrot cake which was absolutely delicious. You could taste cinnamon, raisins, nuts, and carrots, of course. The carrot cake was very moist and thoroughly enjoyed it. Could I have recipe! Eve excels in making fruit loaf which I tasted last week, in addition to her Banana bread which I purchased today and indeed her tablet is excellent too! My husband enjoyed very much his bacon roll which is always cooked to order!

Myra and Eve are very welcoming, efficient and friendly. Service quality worth returning regularly for. The place is spotless and coffee/cake delicious. The museum cafe is a good experidnce. Lots of families where the kids are happy here.

Had an excellent bowl of soup and coffee, followed by the best carrot cake I've ever tasted, the price was reasonable too.

I visited here with my partner for some lunch and the Cafe was lovely and food was amazing! Will definitely be back! Xx

Like to pop in for a light lunch. Everything is freshly made and delicious. There's a good selection of cakes and, where possible, they use locally sourced products. Service is good too

The standard of food here massively exceeds what you would usually get in this type of cafe! Proper meals & lunch bites, very generous portions and well presented by friendly staff! They obviously have a very good chef. Cafe was very busy & staff were rushed off their feet, possibly short staffed for how busy it was. Vegetarian vegan gluten free options, something for everyone. Thanks to Fiona & her staff! Highly recommend & the museum/farm was great after too.

Great place for a coffee and a little cake good quality and big place to sit and relax even with kids would recommend

Always a good lunch here very fresh clean place coffee is good. Food is just as good with tastes for all.

Good quality, good staff, good price, good seating, good choice. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would certainly return if in the area.

Always clean and tidy place to eat food is good and so is the coffee. Try the cakes very good recommend them

Another nice meal with good quality food well prepared and presented on a nice day would recommend for a day out

Love there combos and there Roll's in the morning so soft quality is always good and lovely view too

Possibly swayed by being a National Trust member and therefore not having to pay for entry; everything else then seams cheaper. It is a nice little area within the museum to take in some views and plan the trip. Soups and snacks appeared to be going down well!

We got a lovely lunch here and we're pleased we came here food was great and the cakes were too clean and tidy would go back
