The Skyburn Teapot in Dumfries & Galloway

Cute little place with a few tables inside and more outside with great views over Fleet Bay on the Galloway coast. Rather limited menu, mainly various hot or cold rolls which we found very good. Very adequate parking on the busy A75 road. We were quite surprised to find they even had toilets. We were very impressed with our visit and would recommend it as agreat wee rest stop if travelling this way.

Not good at all!!! Woman serving was indifferent , rude and didn’t even seem that bothered about serving with a smile or being courteous. Was explaining the menu to my french husband , he can’t eat bread as everything says on a roll. I politely asked if he could have bfast without rolls , brusque answer of yes, then asked Drink?! I didn’t get asked if I wanted anything, needless to say after this I wouldn’t give this woman any more of my money. Husbands bfast was greasy and burned, and the place isn’t exactly sparkling clean. My mum and dad who accompanied us have been going there for years, they’ve also said they won’t be back as I witnessed them getting the same treatment. Go to the Route 75 diner which I usually use , won’t be back , spend your money elsewhere folks

So friendly and welcoming. We had haggis and bacon baps which were absolutely delicious. Good value and quirky decor. Between the food and service, We will definitely be back!

Me and my partner stayed in the van about half an hour away and needed a place for a good solid brekky and coffee and this place did not disappoint! Two bacon and sausage butties later and were loving it! Gorgeous view and pleasant woman serving made our day at half past 8 this morning! 10/10

A lovely little find by the side of the road. We had gypsy creams, a coffee and a hot chocolate with a view. Nice little pick me up on our road trip.

we stopped here by chance as there always seemed to be cars stopping but this is actually a really sweet little tea room with a lovely sitting area out the back trees full of birdfeeders looking across the Solway firth when the tide is out you could probably walk across. we stopped for a coffee a few times but oh my gooiness its such a beautiful walk towards mossyard along the beach through the grass and your going in and out of rocks and coves with seashells everywhere and suddenly you come to a tiny church perched on rocks open to all it was beautiful a really lovely walk.

Really nice place to stop for a bite to eat and have a wander on to the shore if the tides right turn a few stones and look for crabs the children will either chase them or be chased smiling either way 👍

First impression as we walked in was the smell. dirty old cooking fat. The place was really grubby. The coffee was average. We sat outside at the rear and the place was most unwelcoming. dark and dingy, filthy tables. I had the misfortune to need the toilet and used the only one inside. It looked like it hadn't ben cleaned in months. All surfaces were thick with dust and greasy marks. There was supplies lying everywhere inside the large toilet area. During these Covid times I would have thought there would be enhanced cleaning going on but not a sign of it. We will not be back. Luckily for the owners this is not the sort of place that someone would look up a review before visiting.

Being relatively local to the area I've had occasion to stop for an egg & black pudding roll or a burger many a time. The menu is limited but well cooked and reasonably priced. The service has always been friendly and efficient. The interior is compact but adequate. There is a good space at the back of The Teapot to eat in the summer with a view of Skyreburn Bay. I have not visted since lockdown so I can't advise on Covid 19 precautions.

Absolutely disgusting place to eat . Filthy inside , sticky tables, there was cleaning materials in sight but have no idea when they were previously used . The photo is of a burger roll but looks like squeezy cheese has been used . Quite expensive . We ended up sitting outside which was equally as dirty . Would not recommend to a dog ! Burgers were thrown in the bin and we walked round the side to get out . Didn’t want to pass through the cafe area again .

Fabulous views, cosy with mugs of tea and bacon sandwich but interior is very grubby. I think they need a good spring clean

This little Café is on the A75 set in a lay-by just off a beach area with limited inside seating. It serves a mix of hot and cold meals / snacks such as breakfast, jacket potatoes, bacon rolls, hot BLT and cold sandwiches at a good value for money alongside a selection of hot and drinks served by friendly staff. There is an outside seating area behind the café which offer lovely views across the Big Water of Fleet. An option for a snack or for a bit of breakfast.

Great service and choice and great location by the beach along the A75. Well worth a visit. Recommended.

Old school 'cheap and cheerful'. Really good coffee and a great outdoor space at the back of the cafe.

Unfortunately there was only one woman working here when we visited and she was constantly rushed off of her feet so we received very poor customer service and had a very long wait for to be served. I would suggest at least two people are needed so one person is not trying to serve, cook, deliver food and clean up! The queue for food was always long and at one point we were told to sit down and she would serve us but there we were forgotten about so had to queue again. Breakfast and jacket potato was average when it came. Not worth another visit, especially for a quick lunch!

Halfway between Stranrah and Dumfries, on a layby by the coast, the Teapot is a great place to break the journey, stretch the legs, walk the dogs and enjoy cheap, quality food and drink. Homemade cake, basic drinks and simple filling food. If the weather...

Called in many times, but this time with 4 friends and everyone was most impressed. The service was fast and very efficient, and the bacon rolls were the best ever tasted anywhere! What a bargain, too, and the hot chocolate was delicious. In fact it...

We stop off here every journey to and from Newcastle, yes it is getting a little tired and grubby. I think the owner is starting to feel her age. But we call in every journey, use the toilet and have tea, a bacon roll and...

Stopped in for a quick cuppa & roll and wish I hadn't bothered. The woman behind the counter grunted "what do you want" on hindsight I should have said better customer service and left. Got our hot chocolate and horrible rolls, the tables were disgusting...

Regular visitors over a number of years and used to be basic, but clean, and great quality ingredients. Sadly.... the place is now filthy and there is "stuff" everywhere. Food mediocre at best. A good clean, some de-cluttering and some fresh quality products ( readily...

Stopped for a cuppa and there is a bit of beach at the back for the dog, wasn't able to get down to it as it was raining and marshy.

I went here and i wish i didn't. It was the only place open at 1015am on a Sunday morning when the auchenlaire holiday park restaurant was still shut. I heard and saw the woman working there greet and treat all of her other customers...

A little piece of heaven on that long road to catch a ferry. Whether it's a cuppa n sanie or a meal there's always a friendly awating here. Meet up with your biker mates for a butty sit outside over looking the loch. Pet friendly...

Occasionally call in here while beach walking near Cardoness. Ample parking for vehicles travelling the A75. Small shack but has a decent range of hot and cold foods. Reasonably priced as well. Nice views across the bay makes for a relaxing pit-stop on a sunny...

We had promised ourselves a stop here and we were very disappointed. Firstly it was a major attack of a the wasps so we couldn't sit outside, sadly inside was a right old jumble and didn't really push my buttons for a return. Lots of...

The lady behind the counter was really unwelcoming and made a point of expressing her irritation at us at every opportunity even though we were her only customers. The sandwich was ok, the tea ok and the chips inedible - green and tasted of dirty...

If you've been out walking all morning and you fancy a hearty breakfast, this is your place to visit. Massive tasty breakfast at good prices. It's a trusted truck stop so don't expect fine dining. What you can expect is good, honest fayre at good...

Very handily located set back on the side of the A75 if you need to make a comfort and sustenance break. We had a family gathering brunch in there. All food well cooked and priced. Views out front are great and you can also access...

Cafe okay for lorry drivers needing a stop before getting the ferry.large communal milk jug on the counter.

Chose to have breakfast here rather than pay at the hotel where were staying and we were not disappointed. Plenty of parking. Warm welcome received. Good choices of snacks on menu. Both had the bacon and eggs on toast-plenty of food well served. Great views,...

Me and my family visited after taking our dog a walk while on holiday. Great fresh made food, friendly staff set in cool venue and surroundings.

Sorry to hear the previous reviewer was disappointed. Myself and a friend called Sunday 22nd Nov, 2015 at 2.30p.m. and enjoyed wonderful bacon butties, first class. Tea & coffee were excellent too. There were a constant run of customers, some sitting in and others picking...

Once a regular stop, the bacon rolls and coffee were legendary. Now (October 2015) the coffee is horrid, either black stewed or brown watery weak. And the bacon rolls contain bits of what ever has been cooked on the grill beforehand. Im very sad to...

17 of us call in to the teapot all at once all wanting big breakfasts we were all served with in 15 minutes, that less than 1 minute per breakfast! We all enjoyed it and will defo call in again.

We stopped here for a cuppa and a teacake and to feed our baby boy. It was beautiful in the late autumn sunshine. Well worth a stop if it's sunny!

The place was busy, mostly with tourists, the food was average, great views. the toilets were filthy and the smell was disgusting to say the least. A good clean would help this place !

Went to this cafe after reading a good review by a notable foodie writer, had full breakfast, swimming in so much grease when plate places on table food nearly slid off! Table sticky even the mug of tea was awful, mug looked like not been...

First visit, ordered 2 bacon rolls to go. Both rolls were mouldy. Called in on my return about 1.5 hrs later to let them know. They could not get me out of the shack quick enough. Refund was provided. Don't think I'll be returning anytime...

Spot on breakfast very clean staff very helpful will call again next time we pass can highly recommend this place

It is a long road from Dumfries to Stranraer, and there arn't many places to stop and eat or have a quick cup of tea. Luckily, the Skreburn teapot is on the roadside between the towns and offers a fantastic full cooked breakfast, as well...

Ordered a filled roll and the roll was very nice with proper butchers meat as the filling. Service was very fast and efficient as well.

We stopped for breakfast at this little cafe on Monday15th June. Four full breakfasts and a bacon bap. Two mugs of tea and three drinks under £ 30. The breakfasts had sausages , bacon, black pudding, tomato, tattie scone egg, beans and toast. Brilliant service

Occasionally look in when passing, great for a carryout bacon roll some specials for lunch Decor is in need of a renovation but its not bad if you accept it for what it is ..Tends to get a lot of passing trade for the ferries.........

Had the pleasure of stopping of the other day at this tiny log cabin café called the the Skyreburn Teapot my wife and myself ordered two breakfasts full Scottish ive got to say all I have to say is they were fantastic and loads of...

What better way to break a journey along the A75 than to call in at the Skyreburn Teapot. Whether its just a cup of tea whilst you enjoy the view over the Solway, or their gorgeous full breakfast, this is a little oasis. It's not...

always stop here for my coffee & bacon buttie when heading for the boat every week,no other cafe on the 75 can beat it,the staff are very very friendly & they have time to talk to you unlike others who just want ur money

Simple food well prepared, very cheap and served with a smile. Called in numerous times while travelling between Stranraer and Dumfries and was always welcomed with a smile.

A perfect place for a stop and a bacon butty or breakfast. The A75 is a lovely road to travel and see the sea, and the Teapot is a great place to stop, eat, and stretch your legs on the strand. when I'm going that...

Stopped here last week and wow could not beleive the smell and lack of hygeine. Worse cup of tea and scone ever!!!!!

Best bacon bun on the main road, and great coffee too! Friedly and helpful staff, and, when we visited, weather was good enough to sit outside under the trees, Lovely.

Disappointed with our visit here. The inside space is cramped and untidy. Food and drink was very basic with little contact from the staff.

Great little cafe on the side of A75 - well worth a stop off. Can eat outside with lovely views of the bay. Staff excellent too.

I remember visiting this wee place on the way to the beach. Always have nice bacon rolls. Would recommend for anyone going along the A75 and needing a homemade snack. Well worth the visit. I've only been during the summer.

I have driven past this unassuming place for years thinking it was just another greasy transport cafe however on the recommendation of my husband who has fraternised it many times we stopped here yesterday and what a great place it is. Just a wooden shack...
