There have been many changes since we last visited Whitmuir pre-pandemic. The farm food shop has gone and has been replaced by Junkshop Antiques (which used to operate from smaller premises on the site); The Dancing Light gallery apparently moved online some time ago and the vacant unit they previously occupied was due to be re-launched as a (Christmas) shop when we were there in November 2022. The café looks the same as before (minus the gallery’s paintings) but opened again under new ownership in September 2022 and now trades simply as Whitmuir Cafe. I’m glad to see the log burner remains in place as it is needed to try to keep this cavernous place warm at this time of year. Quercus Garden Plants still operate on the site however when we visited garden plants were not something we were looking to explore. At the time of our lunch visit there was a slow, steady flow of customers but these are large premises to fill so it lacked atmosphere. The menu choice is modest and we ordered up their Toastie of the Day, which was ham and cheese, served with house salad and dressing £6.95). My wife’s request to replace the sourdough bread with brown bread was met. I ordered a Bagel with chicken & lemon mayonnaise, also served with house salad and dressing (£6.25). We both enjoyed our lunch - the chicken was plentiful and tasty with the mayo, the toastie filling good quality and we both rated the house salad and dressing very highly. The only criticism was that the cutlery knives seemed blunt. The coffee we had along with the food was very good - Flat white (£2.95) and Americano (£2.60) - so we ordered another to go along with the home bakes both of which happened to be gluten free. My wife requested the smaller of the large looking slices of Treacle and Lemon tart on display, which turned out to be wise since she was unable to finish it; and I had an Almond slice which I too was unable to finish. Verdict on the cakes was “okay” however we have only rarely found a gluten free cake which we could say we really enjoyed so that is probably just our taste. Overall cost of lunch was just over £29 which we thought was good value. Staff were friendly and efficient. It’s early days for the revised format and not as attractive an overall destination for us however we wish them well. Check opening hours if travelling - seems to be Wednesday to Sunday, 10.00am until 4.00pm at present.

Tomamos el té funerario de mi papá aquí. La habitación estaba perfectamente equipada y el personal era amable y muy servicial. La pasta para untar era preciosa, con un montón de té y café recargados. Gracias a todo el personal por ayudarnos a despedirnos de mi papá. xx

Overall disappointing. The prawn cocktail was gorgeous at £17 for a starter as we're the starter portion of scallops however at £17 for Famous fish and chips it was very poor. Not a large piece of fish and plate was filled with frozen French fries. Not appealing at all. It is not cheap to eat here and the seafood was lovely but overpriced.

Excellent cafe; run by volunteers. Really impressed with the service and decor of the setting. Staff were friendly and well informed about the dishes on offer. Went here for lunch with 2 friends and we were all impressed with the quality and range of food offered. I also like the system of paying by donation. We enjoyed playing pool (for free) in the games room after our meal. We will definitely return.

Lovely venue and great views. Arrived for a late lunch today. Stood at entry for a wee while, seater/maitre d (an older blond lady in a royal blue polo top) chose to have a conversation with a waitress rather than instantly greet us and show us to a table. On previous visits the greeters are usually top notch. Ordered Cullen Skink which is always lovely. Steak sandwich - quality of meat was poor, chewy and sinuous. A beef ham would have been more tender at around a £15 price point. Waitress was lovely.

went down today for a spot of lunch and some strawberry picking. we had a fantastic time at the farm! Inside the cafe looks lovely, they have a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. the menu was great with something for everyone, we liked how there was an option for a light bite or a more substational meal. I had the Brisket Panini special and my partner had the pulled pork burger, both were a perfect size and incredibly tasty. We were then offered desserts, we had an affogato and the strawberry pancake stack, both of which looked and tasted amazing! The service was top notch and every staff member was really informative and friendly, they made us feel very welcome during our time here. After lunch we went strawberry picking in the fields which was a great time and a really nice way to spend the day. we will definitely be back and would 100 percent reccomend anyone to try it out! ❤️

This is a handy spot for a break on the way to Inverness. Quite basic but not too bad. Plenty car parking. Not far from the main road. Could do with a Saltire or two. Also a bit of information about the town and the local and Scottish drink and food they serve. Not sure why it is listed as a British and not a Scottish cafe.
