Tunnocks Tea Room in South Lanarkshire

It has all the classic Scottish bakery favourites and tere is always a massive selection of savoury and sweet items. A pity the sit in cafe has gone since covid.

I visited the tea room today and was left bitterly disappointed as it has now closed down and they only have a small shop the little cafe was a fantastic place to sit you could catch up with the locals and chat with visitors or just relax and have a cup of tea the place had a good sense of community about it this is now sadly lost such a shame perhaps Mr Tunnock could focus a bit more on the local community that helped build his business to what it is today.

The best plain bread you'll ever taste and pies are lush aswell as the fresh cream cakes absolutely love the feeling in the shop like stepping back in time and the staff are so friendly and helpful

Came here out of nostalgia for my childhood. The sit-in tearoom is currently closed, so what you're left with is a standard bakery. I got myself some Tunnocks Caramel Wafer Biscuits and cream bun. The truth is that without the tearoom option, it's just like shopping in any bakery and I could've bought the biscuits from a supermarket.

The staff were untrained and terrible but the tea room was lovely just wasn't impressed with the staff.

Tunnocks Tea Room is full of the wonderful history and care of a family business that has stood the test of time. The love of Tunnocks can be felt in every mouthful. The staff obviously love what they do and it comes through in the service. Nothing was too much trouble.

Found this wee place through word of mouth and made regular visits now, last visit I managed to get the nicest plain bread I’ve ever tasted and the lovely staff even kept two by for me!!! Absolutely delicious cakes on offer, everything is so fresh and prices extremely reasonable, we stayed for lunch in the cafe which was delicious, the staff are fantastic helpful and friendly.... highly recommend a visit

It was a treat for my husbands birthday so we went to lunch at Tunnocks Tea rooms . . We only had a sandwich and tea / coffee , I have never had a sandwich so fresh in all my life .. The staff were very friendly and the service was so quick . We have been going to the shop for uears but didnt know the Tea room was so big . We will go back

Fab shop selling gorgeous looking cakes, loads of Tunnocks stuff, and amazing pies. Well worth a visit if in the area.

I have only visited the tae room once, but I shall be back Do not go without tasting the tunnock pies,talk about yum yum..I came away with six for my freezer. So much for the diet. He tea cakes and a coffee and you have traveled back in time. Highly recommend..

I would imagine that with the Tunnock brand name and excellent products people will want to visit the Tea Room for the experience. Unfortunately it is very dated, the chairs are fixed to the tables so that for larger people there is not enough room to sit comfortably as you can't move the chairs back. The tearoom is extremely basic and feels more like a roadside truck stop - certainlly could do with some modernisation and TLC especially since Uddingston has many other eating options. I think the main draw is the food which is really quite good but the poor sitting and surroundings makes it the last choice in Uddingston to drop in for lunch or tea. Pity they have not moved with the times as a few small changes could make a big difference.

It might look very basic but the Tunnocks Tea Room is very clean, plenty of space, very efficient staff and delicious food! We had steak pie and chips. This was no ordinary steak pie. Tonnes of beautiful steak under some stunning flaky pastry. So unexpected, so delicious - what a lovely surprise! Then there’s the baker shop at the front. Heaven! And loads of Tunnocks nostalgia. Heaven! Keep up the good work! Loads of parking nearby and easy to find.

No frills good honest food and well priced. Friendly staff. The pie and beans are a must. You must try some of their cakes also

Took someone here last week for a spot of lunch (her first in the tearooms) The place still looks the same as it did many moons ago however the staff are friendly and the food tasty! What more could you want!

Located on Uddingston Main Street, and only a hundred yards or so from the main Tunnock's factory, the tearoom today is probably the same as it was 40 or 50 years ago in terms of décor and furniture (and menu !), and you need to be a certain age (I'm 63) to fully appreciate it - ie. it's now old enough to be 'on trend' again !! 'Front of house' as you enter is the shop, with a good range of 'retro' cakes, biscuits, pastries etc, all 'fresh from the factory' just across the road - and through the back is the tea room, where you can 'sit in' or 'take away' and enjoy any of the treats from the shop, hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, steak pie, macaroni and cheese etc etc. The food is nice, the staff are friendly and helpful, but it's the décor and the ambiance which make this place so unique - by the time you reach your table, you've travelled back to the late '60s/early '70s - a strange novelty for younger visitors perhaps, but definitely a trip down memory lane for anyone 50+ !! :-):-) I love the place, and have highly recommended it to many friends and family - and now to a much wider Tripadvisor audience too. Most towns had their own version of this back then, but there are very few left now in the same format - but Tunnock's Tearoom in Uddingston will definitely feed your hunger and your soul !! Enjoy your visit, your food, and all the memories the place will evoke......

Great friendly wee restaurant soup is out of this world the staff are wonderful had a mug of tea lentil soup and a roll and cheese/tomato Clean and a relaxing place. Cannot recommend this place enough Soup that good I normally now get two cups...

Tunnocks Bakery is what it says it is a Bakery, with a little cafe attached. The Bakery has a decent selection of yummy cakes as well as a selection of the Factory's wares, some of which I've not seen before. Tunnocks Meringues, being an example....

Now a regular here for fresh baked bread weekly, the Tunnock's factory is only a few yards away and you can smell the aroma from there as you enter the tea room. Tea room is stocked early every morning with fresh cakes and bread, along...

Time for a Tunnocks! Stopped by when we were in the area to see where our favourite snowballs come from. The cafe is on the original bakery site. Very basic inside and I think it’s quite quaint that they haven’t jumped on the tourist bandwagon...

I tend to visit here when I’m passing from Dumfries the food all baked in the main bakery is so nice never had anything here I didn’t like all food is fresh daily staff always polite and helpful and never rush you

I love this shop I was looking for a hamper for an elderly relative and ended up buying extra cakes pastries. A real blast from the past with classic treats 5 star service thanks

This was our first visit to Uddingston and this wee cafe was recommended. I shall certainly recommend it too. Tunnocks Tea Room is at the back of the bakery, and everything looks amazing. A small self service cafe it has a very good menu with...

Old fashioned but fantastic. Been many times & can't wait to return. Friendliest staff with delicious food, especially the dohnuts!! Free biscuits last week too ☺.

A detour to tunnock a tea rooms is a must. Jolly, kindly staff, an 80's feel. It was the original bakery. No glossy corporate centre but cakes galore, mugs of hot drinks (including milky coffee). Drinks and cakes were free the day we turned up....

An historic venue for lovers of the Scottish teacake. Welcoming friendly service - and takeaways are a must!

The tearoom is like stepping back in time. At the back of the bakery. Very reasonable prices and friendly helpful staff.

Simple tasty food served by the friendliest staff you'll find. Cheap, cheerful and just the thing to warm you up during the cold winter months. The bakery shop is great too: best bread in the Glasgow area.

I have passed this shop for several years with the most inviting front window of bakery goodies from Scotland's famous provider of 'forbidden' foods. And so on a wet Saturday we entered in search of a cup of tea and a bakery delicacy. A tea...
