The Wallace Tearooms in South Lanarkshire

My husband and I went in for lunch last week, the service was good, the staff were friendly and the cherry and almond scone was the best I have ever tasted, definitely be returning

Lovely friendly tea room. Great cakes great service. Even more interesting just a short distance away is the memorial garden where William Wallace,s house stood. Will call again.

Friendly Staff, had a nice vegan meal with lots of veggies. Very popular place. Cafe theme is lovely inside.

There is nothing you can't find on the menu here. All beautifully cooked, presented and served. Warm and cosy certainly.

Popped in for a little treat and wasn't disappointed. Very friendly people and a lovely welcome. Nice variety in the Menu and everything is made fresh to order. Good selection of home baking too which all looked delicious. We had the home made Lentil soup (you get a choice of serving size, as well of types of soup) which came with lovely brown crusty bread and some salad, and a baked potato with sweet chilli chicken which came with home made coleslaw, crisps and some salad as well. My daughter enjoyed her potato but was expecting the chicken to be warm, like the potato, but it was very tasty anyway. Drinks were a Diet Irn Bru and a Mug of creamy hot chocolate - you get a choice of size of drinks too, which is another nice little touch. Prices are very reasonable and there was a constant turnover of people visiting. Nicely decorated inside with plenty of room too. Would go back and also recommend it if you are in the area.

Lovely staff and very welcoming to my 2 wee dogs, even brought some biscuits out for them on a plate. So nice to take well behaved dogs inside instead of the usual sitting outside whilst me and my coffee freeze. Will be making regular visits here. Lovely food and choice of cakes. Visit here with or without your dogs , you wont be disappointed .

Very popular, always sure of a lovely meal or cake and cuppa and decent friendly service. Also a decent range of goods gluten free etc. There is a large seating area down a few steps which is child and pet friendly.

Visited here whilst in Lanark on a visit and the wife and I both had a late breakfast. Both enjoyed fresh ingredients cooked to order. Wife especially enjoyed her breakfast as she is a celiac and for a change had good list of foods to pick from, instead of the usual egg and bacon. Only slight niggle for her was the gluten free cakes she bought to take home she found them really dry, I bought the chocolate and orange (not gluten free) which was delicious.Overall though enjoyed will go again

Staff friendly and helpful. Large portions of lovely homemade goods and reasonable prices. Served quickly.

Great food, great service, good range of choice on the menu for both breakfast and lunch. Good selection of cakes and scones, and wonderful coffee!

The Wallace Tea Room is far more than just a wonderful place for breakfast or lunch. When you are in Lanark, go and try it for yourself. Everything is home baked, the lunch choices are excellent and the menu offers something for everybody. However, what makes this place outstanding is the fabulous staff. Everybody makes you feel at home. Customer service at its best.

great cafe, excellent menu with a great selection of snacks and meals including vegetarian/vegan. Friendly staff and dog friendly.

This is a beautiful little tearoom that serves wonderful food and outstanding cakes. The food is very good portions and i love the quirky soups on offer that always taste delish. Highly recommend to anyone that is looking for some lovely lunch and cake 😊

My dad and I go for lunch every Thursday, and we have decided to try different places, the Wallace tea room was recommended, food was really nice and well presented but the menu was really limited....was warm and welcoming

I love this place. The staff are really friendly. They serve you food without having to wait too long. The food is good. The menu though limited is tasty. The cakes are always interesting and tasty.

We stopped in for coffee and tea and added delicious 'paradise cake' and a scone. Can't fault it. Spotless toilets and friendly staff. We'll definitely be back

The Wallace tea room is a lovely place to eat. The food is outstanding and the staff are extremely friendly.

If you are looking for a greasy spoon then this is not your place. Discovered this place a few weeks ago, staff were ever so friendly asking if it was a take away or sit, then informing us to sit and the would be over to take the order. Had a lush roll and square sausage which was nice and meaty and flavoursome. The bacon was tasty.

Located behind st Nicholas church at the foot of the high street. Ideal for a spot of lunch or some soft drinks, give it a try.

Always get a friendly welcome and food is delicious and fresh. Excellent value and more so with the daily deals.

excellent service and food especially the home baking ... will visit again for sure as they also do a dog friendly day which is good for us as we have 2 small dogs and weather makes it difficult at time to eat sitting out so a big plus to management for making this available.

My husband and I had lunch here today and it was amazing. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and we didn’t feel rushed at all. I had the Coronation Chicken brioche roll and I have never tasted Coronation Chicken like it, it was delicious as were the mango chutney and coleslaw that accompanied it. My husband chose the Butternut squash soup with brown crusty bread which was also delicious. To finish I had a cup of tea and a slice of their Utterly Sinful traybake which the waiter described as sugar, sugar and more sugar but it was scrumptious. There were so many scones, traybakes and cakes to choose from I just had to bring some home with us. We will certainly be back in the very near future.

This is not the first time we've visited this tea room, and on this visit we arrived just after opening time and found the staff to be very welcoming & friendly. We had a wee while to wait for our sausage & bacon rolls (one of each) (which was understandable having just opened), Our coffees were served straight away and was nice and hot. The rolls were nice & fresh and the food was well cooked and very enjoyable. Rolls were buttered, don't always get this in cafes. We will certainly be back in the future and will recommend this tea room to friends who are visiting Lanark next weekend. Well done to the staff and keep up the good work.

We found this café thanks to TripAdvisor and it didn't disappoint. Great soup and sandwiches, gorgeous cakes and friendly staff.

We used to visit Daisy's the predecessor to Wallaces but was interested to see the 'replacement' tearoom. I can only say that next time we go to Lanark, then Wallaces will be the place for us go for coffee and or lunch.

Visited for a quick bite to eat after walking down by New Lanark.

Brilliant big breakfast, loads of choice, staff very friendly. Visited on our way to New Lanark Mill. 5 🌟

I have visited this tearoom before, and was happy to have lunch there with a friend recently. We had a lovely bowl of home made sprout and potato soup with crusty bread. Not sure about the soup before ordering, we were given a small taster to make sure we liked it. Lovely cup of coffee to follow with fruit scone. Will be back again and would recommend to anyone.

A local tearoom which caters for all tastes and allergies. Harty home made soups, wonderful cakes, scones tray bakes.

We went here for breakfast based on the other reviews and so pleased that we did!

Brought the kids here before the Christmas market and it was absolutely mobbed. Fortunately there was still a table for the 3 of us in the little family room.

Visited this restaurant on a rather busy day when we were shunted into the main tearoom even although the side area was empty. Very noisy atmosphere and although the food was reasonable we were very glad to leave.

Menu has been curtailed in the last few months so that there is a limited selection. Food okay, but not the best of its type in Lanark. Service staff are great though and very accomodating!

Food and cakes look delicious. However I feel the service is lacking. Too many staff members just handing around. More than happy to pay the higher prices for the food if it truly was table service.

Visited with family late on a Saturday afternoon. Friendly place. Good cup of tea and very excellent home baking. And a policy of sustainable and locally sourced suppliers.

Been many times. Never disappointed. Nice range go food and baking. Love their bacon sandwiches. Well worth a try.

La comida es deliciosa y el personal encantador. . Pasteles para morirse. Conduje 25 millas para ir aquí para el almuerzo y no me decepcionó.

Decided to visit here with my parents , first time so was interested to see what it was like. The experience was very mixed, my parents liked their food, unfortunately I was not very impressed.I had macaroni cheese soup which was a novelty as never seen it before, can't say I thought it was brilliant but unfortunately the soup had the burnt bottom of the pot floating amongst it which was a little off putting. My toastie well that was quite another thing, it had practically no cheese inside it and what was there didn't look too appetising, the cheese almost had the look of double cooking or was of very poor quality. Complained to the cook and he did offer to make a new one but declined a he didn't seem to see anything wrong with why it didn't look like a cheese toastie inside. To top it off they never brought my can of juice either. The upside was that they didn't charge me but sadly this was my first and last visit and won't be on my recommendation list.

Tasty sandwich and coffee. Good choice of other light meals/snacks and home baking. Cosy atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff.

Great little tearoom. Soup was very tasty and paninis and sandwiches also very good. Busy saturday afternoon and did take a while to get sandwiches and soup but overall very good.

Cannot fault this place the food is amazing. The staff are very nice. The cakes are a must!!It's a small cosy family friendly place very clean.

Have been three times since I read it was the best tea room in Scotland. Enjoyed the food but have consistently had better in another cafe in the town. Nice choice of tray bakes, cakes etc with some unusual ones and nice choice for lunch/coffee.

My first visit since it was Daises, but my wife and her friend have afternoon tea & a scone regularly. My wife & I had a light lunch , cheese & bean toastie and a venison sausage roll, both were very good. All produce is sourced as local as possible and the menu is varied including small portions and reasonably priced. Plenty of friendly staff serving and the service is excellentThe premises have disabled access , the tea rooms are spotless as are the toilets.Located at the foot of the town and near where William Wallace's house was it is a delightful and very popular tearoom. Far better than the local Costa, as it is all home baking. Will definitely return there.

Lovely home made food great choice and service is excellent . They also have gluten and sugar free scones .

I dropped in while in Lanark, it is bigger than it looks from the outside, quite busy also but service was good, food was good decent menu for breakfast/lunch

Heard good things about the food here, sadly I never got to try it! Went in at 2ish. Sat at the empty table and spent 5 mins or so deciding what I wanted and chatting to my wife. Waited another 10 mins at which point I thought, maybe it's not table service. My wife went up to the counter and was advised it was table service, so came back to the table. In the meantime another customer came in. Watched as the person that told us it was table service went and served them. Tried to catch her eye but in spite of her looking right at me it was obvious that she wasn't coming to serve us. Sat and watched as she cleaned the two empty tables and the other 'waitress' took a cup of coffee out the door. The customer that came in after us got their food and we decided then they obviously didn't want our business. At that point we put our coats on and left nearly 30 mins after we had asked if it was table service. If someone had come and asked me if it was table service I would have followed them to the table and took their order, not come out and cleaned tables or served someone else! Did stop the waitress that had gone out with coffee, who by the way had been tidying up while we had approached the counter, and complained. Was told the staff were new, and that she had been manning the till! Come back in and we'll serve you now. No thanks and I wont be back. Pity as the cakes on display did look nice. Won't be recommending the place to anyone in a hurry.Would say the worst service ever but since I didn't receive any at all.....

Love this little tea room in Lanark. Food and staff 5 star. All cakes are to die for. Best Tea room to go to in Lanark, not to be missed :-).

I've visited these tea rooms for my morning caffeine fix several times and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. Internet let's me keep in contact with New Zealand and the home baking is good too.

This is a friendly tea room who serve delicious home baking and who take care not to waste food. They offer small portions and the option of not having the butter portions etc . I have complained for years that I couldn't manage whole portions so I was delighted to come across this place by chance.

First time visitor to Lanark (driven through it many a time) and first time visitor to the Wallace Tea Room. It's a nice bright airy place. The main area has 12 tables each with individual names (more of that later). There is lots of space and there is also a reasonably sized family dining area with toys available to keep the little ones amused. Brilliant. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The Wallace obviously pride themselves on their food and service. It's great that they use local suppliers and homebake on the premises rather than buy in. They offer gluten and sugar free options. I'd never heard of sugar free jam before now. I would loved to have sampled some, maybe on my next visit.  I loved the quirkiness of the place - even just the detail that the tables have names rather than numbers and each name is significant is fun. The back page of the menu explains about the owners and the background to the table names. We sat at The Racecourse Table named after the old Lanark Racecourse supposedly opened in the 1100's and closed in 1977 and some of the buildings still stand. Never mind reading the selection of newspapers and magazines on offer. The menu itself it educational! And back to the menu, there is a good choice of sandwiches, pannini's and burgers on offer along with a daily special and choice of homemade soups. Both my husband and me opted for the Chicken and Spring Vegetable Broth which is served with a choice of bread or roll, butter and side salad. The lovely thick slice of seeded crusty bread I had was soft and fresh. The soup was delicious and filling. My sister-in-law had a Brie and Grape Toastie which she also said was very good - lots of Brie she added with a smile. We finished with teas and coffee. Overall we had a lovely lunch and I would definitely recommend a visit. Next time I am passing through Lanark, I now have a reason to stop!

Fabulous little tea room. All food is made on the premises by the very talented owner. The baking is amazing and must be tried.

We were staying at the New Lanark Mill Hotel. We decided to take the challenge of the walk along the River Clyde - all the way up the Falls of Clyde to Bonnington Weir, back down the other side (past New Lanark) to Kirkfieldbank (downstream of Lanark) and then back up the river to New Lanark again. We discovered that, sadly, at Kirkfieldbank the public footpath is well hidden (the CCTV & other discouraging signs don't help) so we found ourselves trudging up the hill (in the pouring rain) into Lanark itself. By this time, despite a substantial breakfast, we were sorely in need of refreshment. However TA came to our rescue as I recalled having seen a review of the Wallace Tearooms (and its dietary helpfulness) following a previous visit to New Lanark.We both had some good coffee, and the staff were able to furnish my wife with both some excellent dairy-free fruit loaf and some soya milk for her coffee. My coffee cake could have benefitted from being kept from drying out (it was approaching closing time), but in the circumstances was still welcome (as was the chance just to sit quietly for a while).We were also grateful for their directions to the buses in the High Street, which allowed us to avoid an extended walk back to the hotel.

Love going here for lunch,food always fresh and made to order.Service is excellent and always with a smile.very popular tea room,reasonably priced with a good friendly atmosphere .

I visited the Wallace Tearooms recently with a friend, for lunch. The menu offers lots of choices, and we decided on having soup and sandwich. We had small bowl of soup, which was a really good portion and very tasty. The sandwich was served with side salad, coleslaw and a few crisps. The bread was lovely, and the filling generous. I would definitely recommend.

Was told about this tea room by a local person and decided to try it for ourselves. Very nice surroundings, pleasant staff, and our meal (Angus beef burgers served with side salad, coleslaw & chip sticks) was very tasty and reasonably priced. All food is cooked to order and there is a selection of home baking on offer. This tea room is also suitable for those in need of disabled access. We will certainly call in again on our next visit to Lanark.

I visited with my daughter and sister. I drove from Edinburgh, an hour away.We had a cheese and pickle toastie, tuna and cheese panini and a Brie and onion panini. The toastie was lovely. One of the best I have had. The paninis could have done with more cooking as the Brie was not melted at all. There was a lack of cheese with the tuna.All three came with salad and coleslaw. The salad was very unappetising with limp lettuce. The coleslaw was mostly mayonnaise and onions. Not nice at all.The sales blurb in the menu states that the owner has received accolades for the home baking. That was far from evident unfortunately. The Victoria sponge was flat and dense with bland cream filling. The ginger slice had chunks of unappetising ginger on top of "split" chocolate and the coffee and hazelnut cake had no flavour at all of coffee and was tasteless and dry.Unfortunately my daughter slipped off quietly to pay as a treat so nobody asked how the food was as they hadn't cleared the table. When they did clear the table the waitress didn't seem that bothered with our feedback. Another waitress came over to ask what the issues were and was very apologetic and said that she would pass on our comments but that, as we had paid, she couldn't do anything about the bill!!!Certainly not what we were expecting given the reviews we read before we went. Very disappointing.We won't be backMy own home baking is far superior.

I finally had a chance to visit the Wallace Tearooms and it did not disappoint. It is a charming tearoom serving really great fresh food all carefully sourced and prepared. Lunch was delicious, but be sure to save room for some of the wonderful home baked cakes.I had the sponge drops made from an old family recipe- yum! If you are in Lanark don't miss it.

This tearoom is in an interesting location in the centre of Lanark. Everything we ever bought has been of the highest quality and freshness. There's some fine baking to go with the excellent service.

This is a busy little tea rooms, with a good atmosphere and cakes to die for. The service was good from the friendly staff and price was reasonable (better value & quality than 'Costa more'!)

This is a popular place for friends to meet for coffee, although they serve light meals too. The food is exceptional and the baking, which is done on site, is very tasty and often has unusual, but very delicious ingredients. If you have morning coffee, try one of their special scones.

Nam bheachdsa bhithinn uabhasach toilichte biadh ithe an seo. Tha an ceic limon is mearag-bhearg direach sgoinneil fhein. Bi mi air ais! Coig Rionnagan!Tha mi ag ionnsachaidh gaidhlig! I hope this says that I would be very happy to eat here and the lemon and courgette cake was really excellent.!!

Visited this cafe with my mum and a friend on a very busy holiday weekend. The service was really good, and they were very helpful with assisting us to a table which was wheelchair accessible.The food was really tasty, and fresh made. My mum (a diabetic) really raved about the sugar free scones and jam, best she had ever had.I will be returning to the cafe regularly, especially for the cakes, they are amazing.

Staff are nice and friendly, ordered a salad, what came was a plate of individual dishes on a plate ( annoying ) . Was not a salad as I know it. My friend and I just looked at each other and said " what ". For the prices they charge I was expecting something WOW, sadly, not !!!

Very tasty, well presented food, served in pleasant surroundings. The cakes are to die for! Parking can be an issue at the foot of Lanark but it is well worth the hassle of finding a parking space to enjoy the delights on offer in the tearooms.

Lovely lunch. Fresh home made food. Friendly staff. Good value for money. Clean. Love the verse in the loo! Yesterday today and tomorrow

We visited for a mid-week lunch. The cafe is quite a good size, with a separate area for families, so the main area wasn't too noisy, even though it was quite busy! It is clean and bright, with interesting things to look at and read on the wall. There is a good choice on the menu, including a couple of home-made soups which change by the day. We visited on a Tuesday and the special of the day was a combination of small soup, half sandwich, scone and tea or coffee, which proved to be an adequate lunch. I had a tuna melt panini, which included some Lanark cheddar and was very tasty. The home-made scones are large and very good, and come with a choice of jams. Service was friendly and helpful. The cafe is just off the main street, but it is worth looking for.

Ok, it's a simple review but in fairness it was a simple meal in a hurry but the scrambled eggs my wife and I ordered last week were the best I've ever tasted. Try them. I only regret that being on a diet meant I couldn't sample the fine range of cakes on offer to follow. I will be back sometime to rectify this! Keep up the good work ladies.

Myself & 4 family members went here for lunch one busy Saturday & it was excellent.We all had soup & toasties which arrived quickly. The staff were superb, I had my young son with me & when the waitress saw I was feeding him she offered me a glass of water. Greatly appreciated by any breast feeding mother. I would highly recommend the Wallace Tearooms and will definetly be back for a toastie again soon.

I visited the Wallace Tearoom yesterday, having noticed a change of name which I hoped indicated a new owner and fresh look. I wasn't disappointed! I'm not sure how long the current owner has been up and running, but what an improvement. Interesting menu, and awesome range of homemade cakes. We just had tea and scones, which were delicious (especially the xmas scone). Spied a few generous platefuls of lunch items at other tables, so will be back...... also worth noting it is very child friendly and well equipped for toddlers in the toilet as well as the restaurant itself.

Voted best tea room in Scotland 2014 , it remains the best tea room in Scotland . Kym the owner , works all the hours and is , without doubt , one of the top bakers in the UK . All the food is prepared in house , served by lovely smiley girls and very reasonably priced . The tea room is always busy and has a lovely warm ambience . They serve good coffee , always a bonus .

Delightful smiling staff, easy service, great coffee, and bacon rolls done as requested. The perfect in-town coffee (and tea) shop.

If you're not 'local' you might just miss this place as it is not on any of the main routes through the town. You really don't want to miss this one though so ask any local for its 'secret' location!Not much to say about this little gem except, great food, great beverages and above all great staff. Whether you just want a cup of coffee or a full blown lunch the staff will see to making it a pleasurable experience. The rooms (there are two) are what you might call cosy, i.e. not particularly big but that, if anything, creates a warm atmosphere, so don't be put off if you have to sqeeze in a bit, it's worth it.Children are also welcome and colouring books and crayons are at your disposal. Just make sure the pencils are sharpened (tip - take a sharpener with you). Daily newspapers and magazines can also be found near the main counter.Word of warning though.......if you're on a diet be careful, the cakes are really tasty.

Lovely tearoom in Lanark, all food homemade and tasty, reasonably priced. The peppermint slice is yum yum as are the homemade cones.

As a treat as part of my mums 60th birthday I took her out for an afternoon tea. We decided to come to The Wallace tearoom, and I can say I'm glad we chose here over going into Glasgow.Firstly the staff couldn't have been more friendly, there is plenty of choice on the menu and prices are very reasonable. We had soup which was delicious, then we had a Scottish cream tea, choice of scones with jam and cream, all very freshly made, also had a large piece of shortbread and unlimited tea or coffee, again staff on hand to make sure you weren't sitting with an empty cup.I'm looking forward to coming back again.

Great welcome to three wet rambles Free cake samples and a warm welcome from the owner and staffGreat fresh food and home baking We will be back

Nice food well presented. Service a little slow but when you are having lunch with a friend it doesn't matter too much. My only problem is that tearoom can be a bit cold in the main area but is more comfortable through back

Been to this restaurant several times - lovely baking and good coffee/tea. I find lunches are disappointing. On the last two visits I had soup and each time it was lacking in flavour. The sandwiches and side salad need to be improved.

A nice atmosphere in this small but pleasant Cafe., The coffee was excellent as was the choice of pastries and cake. The kind of place to relax after shopping . The waitress service was quick and polite and we would recommend it to friends and neighbours and the prices very reasonable.

i have heard so much about this t room. its clean, serves good fresh food. and it serves gluten free. the cakes are home made gluten free and food made to order.i sat in the wee annex and the only down side was service was slow. i sat for 10 mins and i was only served when a girl came to clean an empty table.no one approached me when i went into t room to say hello and explain it was table service.toilets clean. yes i would go back its a good place for a quiet cuppa. parking near by.

We popped In to the Wallace Tearooms for lunch while doing the Lanark Heritage Trail. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly. Lots of locals were lunching there too which is always a good sign. I noticed too that the Wallace is rated for home baking having made the finals of a national competition this year. The soup is also very good indeed.Although we were "sitting in" a take away service is also available.The location is very central, near St Nicholas Church and the bottom end of the high street.One word of caution -whatever you do, don't park at the bottom end of the town. Getting out of the junction here, esp if you are trying to turn right, is a nightmare. Although we were walking on this particular visit, I had to make the turn out of the street after visiting Aldis on the previous evening; because several streets meet here ( Lanark is an old medieval town and the original street lay out is still in existence) the visibility of traffic coming from the left is virtually zero, and the high street is busy in both directions. Well gate is also on your right with traffic trying to get out. I sat for 12 minutes before being able to make the turn. Park on High street if you can. .But avoid the area around Castlehill for parking.,

Lovely café in quiet square off the bottom of the High Street, Good quality coffee and an extensive range of freshly cooked meals and snacks as well as a fantastic variety of home baking - delicious cakes scones and shortbread.

Lovely lunch with family. Made to order off menu. Presented well and delivered quickly. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Prices were reasonable and in line with other local tearooms. Look forward to returning soon.

Great place for a coffee/ tea... food is great very chilled atmosphere.... family friendly and staff are lovely and helpful ... nothing is a problem.... home baking is amazing ... highly recommend the carrot cake

I have been to the tea rooms a few times. And you always get a warm welcome. The staff are more than happy to help out. The food is fantastic too. The cakes are to died for. Well done kim and staff.

This looked like a lovely wee cafe and I was looking forward to a homemade lunch. We sat down at an uncleared table, it was reasonably busy when we entered. The table was quickly cleared and orders taken. We ordered soup, sandwiches and paninis and then waited for about twenty minutes which seemed a long time for food such as this. I ordered a goats cheese panini and was disappointed as soon as it arrived. It had been microwaved to melt the cheese. Anyone serving goats cheese knows a light grilling is adequate. Microwaving turns it to liquid goo. So I ate my liquid goo panini which was not vaguely enjoyable. The small side salad and crisps on the side were okay. My husband ordered the blue cheese and celery soup which was bland. His half cheese and pickle sandwich looked like something you would rustle up in Your kitchen after a night out. Not unpleasant but also not worth going out for. I struggle to see where the twenty minutes preparation time were spent! Their cakes looked delicious but after our disappointing lunches we just wanted to leave. Such a shame as I had high hopes having read other reviews.

The food is fresh and the service is friendly. Whether you want a meal, a snack, or a cup of coffee then you will not be disappointed with The Wallace Tea Rooms. It also has free wi-fi.

Good location in the town and the food is fresh and well presented, but also very delicious. Tables are spaced out so you can relax and have a nice social event with friends.

Lovely local cafe with good food , and extensive range of home baking Welcoming atmosphere and great table service. Cafe also provides colouring books, Jenga and other activities to keep kids amused x

Sat for 15 minutes without being acknowledged, another table that arrived after me got served their coffees, went up to the counter to place my order and stood for another 5 minutes while cakes were slowly put in a container for another customer to take out.....still no one acknowledged me, tables were wiped and staff wandered but they were all too busy to take my order.....I left, life's too short for bad service. Won't be back.

Been here a few times and each time expected it to be different..... It's not been any different. I know it states that it's not fast food however snails pace is not acceptable. Numerous times have waited 45-60 mins. (For a sandwich) I think this place is over rated and personally find other tea rooms much better in the town. The soup is actually pretty yum if u fancy waiting for it.

I've visited the Wallace Tea Rooms on several occasions. I've been there several times with a group of pupils who have complex additional support needs. Each time, their dietary and other needs have been met with great grace and friendliness. Nothing has been too much trouble for the courteous staff. Appropriate food was prepared on request. The food was excellent and presented well. Young people with complex additional support needs were welcomed and catered for in an exceptional manner. Accompanying staff were shown support by all tea room staff and were served excellent food. Personal visits have been equally successful. The Wallace Tea Rooms are well worth a visit.

Friendly, lovely food and excellent baking and interesting unusual cakes. Always something new to try. Well trained staff.

We arrived by bus and found the Tearooms a bit out of the way on an unbelievably hot day. However the cheery waitress and the menu made the trip worthwhile.The mushroom and leek soup was very tasty. Our toasted panini was jampacked full of ham, Lockerbie cheese and pineapple and served with salad and crispy wheels. We asked for and got tap water to drink, an ample sized teapot for two, plus two plates to share a huge apple and blackberry slice.Thank you for such a pleasant visit.

The waiting staff were quietly attentive. We'd said we would have tea and coffee after our meal and the girl came and asked if we were ready. Soup, salad, sea food and baking were all very good. We'd come again.

We went here earlier this year for a family get-together to celebrate my Dad's birthday. Dad grew up in Lanark but the family have moved away and so people travelling from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen to a central location this looked like a good option.As we were a mixture of 6 adults and 4 children, there was a diverse range of tastes to be catered to and everyone left feeling well satisfied - special mention in dispatches to the delicious home-made quiche (which I certainly had seconds of, if not thirds!). The owner was very accommodating of our requests beforehand and our subsequent invasion, letting us decorate the side room (which we had to ourselves) with balloons and also baking a special celebration cake for the birthday boy.Plenty of drawing books and crayons for the youngsters to amuse themselves once they had finished eating so a more relaxed experience for the oldies. When it came time to leave, the owner also pointed out the local directions and suggested some local parks to visit before we hit the road again.Would definitely go back next time we are in the neighbourhood - thanks again!

Been here a few times and always leave with the feel good factor. Usually get soup and sandwich and the soup is usually a new variety and Ingredients are the highest quality. Cakes are handmade- we tried the tiramisu today ad it is the best cake ever-true story. Attention to detail as well eg table names with wee stories associated, papers, great service. Makes me want to stay for hours and try everything.

After receiving the Scottish Baking Award for Scotland's Best Tearoom, we decided to check out the Wallace Tearooms firsthand. My mother, aunt, uncle and I went for lunch one day last October and were so pleased that we did. First of all, my uncle was in a wheelchair and it was no problem getting him into the tearoom and situated at a table, so that was great. My aunt is so hard to entice into going out as she is a fabulous home baker and is usually disappointed, but even she was impressed with the food (that's really saying something)! We all enjoyed what we ordered and the menu has something for everyone. My favourite part was the sweets, though. Kym truly has a gift in baking and we are so lucky that she shares it with us! I wanted to eat one of everything in the display case! The photos will give you a better idea of the wonderful food that is served at The Wallace Tearooms. Don't miss it if you do have a chance to go! I can't wait to go back!

Mmmm the only thing I don't like about the Wallace Tea Rooms is the name ur conjures up images of Mel Gibson et alNow then this place is superb the food the coffee the ambiance you cannot fault. I wish it was open in Sunday I can't think of anything nicer than coffee, bacon & egg rolls and reading the Times in here.The Carrot Cake us to die for and the staff are all lovely.Kym will know who's written this review as she's a biker as I am but she thinks I'm on the dark side Seriously if in Lanark there's only one place to go

Found this tearoom by accident what a find. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome. After sitting at the table a member of staff came and told us about the daily specials then gave us time to study the menu. The menu choices were very good. We ordered our lunch which consisted of toasties with salad and colslaw which was very good you could also have a choice of 3 different types of bread for your toastie. My wife ordered tea and Ihad acoffee which was the best I have tasted.After our toastie we went to look at the scones and cakes to have what a choice and everything was home baked. Finally excellent staff and wonderfull home baking. Will be back.

I have never visited a Tea Room like this. Attention to detail is World Class, even a visit to the Lavatory is a welcome ambiance in itself; The Owner wants you to feel welcome in every dept., of your dining experience. The quality of toiletries, and products are Luxurious. As a Tea Room, this has to be the very Top when it comes to Standards. It is obvious the owner is extremely knowledgeable and an expert when it comes to cooking and fine baking; Chef Standard.The food and bakery avaliable pushes the boundaries when it comes to stunning well thought out, unconventional healthy choices of lunches and bakery. If you're living in Lanark and want to impress visitors or Visiting this Town in my opinion you'll be missing out on this Gem of a fine dine. I didn't expect scones to be so 'posh', or my wrap to look and taste as if I was in another Country at the same time be so perfectly balanced for a healthy dietry enquirement. The Owner has just been voted as having, 'The Best Tea Room in Scotland', and I can see why. this Business also caters for family's, Parents with babies, Business and Private Catering, Functions.
