The best restaurants serving British food in South Lanarkshire South West Scotland

Sadly the Biggar Flavour bakery shop closed on 29 June 2019. The owners continue to operate "The Orchard" next door where some of their bakery products are still made available along with jams, preserves, etc. The main difference is that they no longer provide sandwiches, ready made meals or hot savoury items.

Extremely disappointed with service this evening. I was not treated when I approached the till to be made aware someone would be with me soon .To my great disappointment I was served my sitting in order in a take away cup.Wasn’t asked if sitting in or take away. There were at least 20 used take away cups stacked on the counter, so I’m guessing I was not the only one to be served a take away when sitting in. I could understand if understaffed or extremely busy and they needed to save time on washing up however it was really quiet. The service staff standing around behind the counter chatting and using profanities. I’m not one to be offended by this however I feel that this showed to me that the staff did not care one jot about my customer experience. I don’t come to Starbucks to sit in and drink out a paper cup . Certainly not at that price 😤

This small café/bistro operated varying limited hours and we were never entirely sure when it would be open. They also held bookable “themed” nights offering a taste of food from differing countries on occasion. Sadly having only recently discovered their very nice coffee and cake we followed this up with a lunch visit on 30 August 2024 only to discover of their plans to close the place permanently at the end of September 2024. It’s a pity since the food we had on this occasion was very good indeed. We both had chicken skewers Morrocan style, the tender juicy chicken pieces coated in a very tasty sauce which included fruit and all accompanied with a fresh salad with a lovely dressing. A very flavoursome dish overall. We followed this up with a giant decorative pot of tea for two served in china cups and some cake. My wife selected a “Lammington” - sponge cake coated in raspberry and coconut and served with double cream, whilst I had a portion of Blueberry & Lemon Tart with double cream. My wife was very happy with her choice and I found myself almost licking the plate despite it seems having been given 2 slices of the thin light pastry tart which was oozing with a delicious topping. Total cost was a reasonable £34. The owners in our experience were friendly and chatty and are moving on to other ventures based from their home. The place was busy at our lunch visit and there was a pleasant ambiance with satisfied customers enjoying their food and drink. Seems a pity that it won't be available in future. The single unisex toilet was very well maintained.

Had an amazing meal this evening. Food is absolutely delicious! I would recommend 100% It is all plant based and my goodness the food is so fresh and well cooked. We went and enjoyed a glass of wine which is bring your own with delicious food, such an excellent evening

Amazing food every time we have been. Local seasonal produce. Better food than some Michelin star restaurants. Friendly staff and great service

We stopped here for lunch while passing through and were so happy we did. It was fantastic, the food was delicious, plenty of choice and prices were reasonable. We will stop here again as its a hidden gem!

just on Auchingramont road in the St Mary's for All centre - had they best toastie and cake ! coffee is great too

Fantastic cafe. Lovely staff with good food. And great homemade cakes!

Was over from Northern Ireland visiting friends who live in the nearby area last week, the food was absolutely beautiful and the two ladies who run the business couldn’t have been any nicer, friendly atmosphere, great service and amazing food. The menu had lots to offer. I went for the ‘Salt & Chilli Chicken’ and it was absolutely delicious and the Caramel Apple Pie was phenomenal! We all will definitely be back on our next visit over, thanks again everyone 😊

On a trip to Scotland, I randomly popped into Zest and had the best tuna mayo sandwich I’ve ever tasted. The bread was incredibly soft, and the tuna mayo was perfection. I still dream about that sandwich and am heartbroken I can’t have it again now that I’m back in the States.😔

Myself and my wife visited the The Barony in Biggar on Sunday 8th December for Lunch and so glad we did, the food was top notch and very tasty, the two waitresses that served us were very tentative and professional, the ambience of the restaurant made it very relaxing and we just unwound to enjoy the surroundings, if you are ever in Biggar Book a table at the Barony and enjoy great food, great service, and great surroundings. Just Enjoy.

Food was delicious, staff super friendly, would definitely recommend this place

First time in a few years here for dinner with our cousins from the US. Service :the best, food: amazing, personal touch… well Leslie loved her birthday cake!! So happy this place has got her groove back!!! Thanks Maxine and Spencer! ❤️❤️

We had a lovely afternoon in the Westend today. The food was absolutely amazing, loads to choose from the menu including gluten free which was perfect for one of our party. Service was outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant. If you are in the area pop in and try it out for for yourself.

Arrived at cafe approx 1.00 pm, party of four. We adhered to the ‘please wait sign before being seated ‘ for couple of minutes and no one came so as there were empty seats we proceeded to sit down. Shortly thereafter a young girl , waitress, appeared and began chastising us while literally throwing the menus in front of us. She launched into a tirade about ‘in the future wait before taking a seat the signs are there for a reason’! We accept that you clearly expect protocol to be followed to the letter busy or not. However I think it’s fair to expect to be spoken to in a professional, respectful manner and not an angry attitudinal one as we experienced from this young girl today. We have been long time weekly regulars but after this incident , sad to say will not be returning!
