Delicious food and quality coffee

Jan 2020 • none

It's a wee shop close to the gliding club and had great disabled parking. The food is genuinely delicious, bacon and black roll was scrumptious and the turnip and smoked bacon soup was divine. The coffee was by all accounts perfect - Lucaffe - no less and the earl grey (leaf and not a bag) tea was served in a cute ceramic pot. Lovely views and suits all age ranges. I'll be going again.

Very tasty food.

Apr 2023 • couples

Lochend Farm Shop is situated in a lovely area of the countryside. The farm shop has tables available in the main building and a light and bright conservatory area. There is plenty of choice of food to eat in the cafe area, fresh vegetables, meat and gift items to purchase in their store. We had booked an Afternoon Tea which was delicious and plentiful. Included in this were a couple of savoury flans, sandwiches, crisps, scones and cakes. We couldn't manage to eat the whole lot but were able to take away the remainder to eat later. Most of the staff members we talked to were very friendly and helpful. We have been here several times in the past and the standard of food hasn't ever disappointed us.

Good food, always friendly service.

Jul 2021 • none

Locally sourced ingredients make for simple, wholesome and tasty food. Lovely ambience. Plenty of outdoor seating in the summertime. The staff are always pleasant and pleased to see you. The shop has a good range of food produced by local companies and veg grown on the farm itself.

Very poor customer service

Oct 2024 • solo

I give up, I really do. Have stopped using the restaurant because the food is pretty poor and the staff are surly at best. This morning I wanted to purchase a food item which they have stocked for years. First young girl I asked couldn't understand what I was asking for, second one said they didn't stock it although she has served me in the past and the third one said it had sold out but they might be getting some in in a couple of weeks. Several other local people have mentioned how rude the staff were. Hospitable is not a word you can use for this place and yet years ago it used to be good on all counts.

Horrible from start to finish!

Jul 2023 • family

Clearly the owner doesn’t have a care about reading reviews. The same problems arise time after time, outlining the same issues. Our family had the worst food experience and the attitude of the staff was just about the same…..infact worse .Soup was dishwater and tasteless. The Ham & Cheese Toastie was a “Joke” ( Cheese not Melted ….almost the consistency of a bin lid….tasted as I could imagine a bin lid tasting. Everything lacked taste and care. Sad ! The Staff!!! Don’t get me started on that. We brought the issues to the staffs attention and nothing was done. Not a care in the world. Very unwelcoming from start to finish. Our family have been in the hospitality industry for a lot of years and never have we experienced anything like this. Had the manager or owner came to speak with us with just a simple apology….then this review wouldn’t be happening. Learn from your mistakes. Won’t be back !

Sad, stale and disinterested staff

Sept 2023 • family

Such a great location, beautiful day but thoroughly disappointing experience. Lacklustre, dated with no aesthetic- half dead flowers on the tables, sullen staff. Was presented with little choice. The tuna sandwich was curling at the edges on Mother’s Pride processed white bread with stale crisps on the side. Cappuccino with absolutely no froth and served at nuclear temperature and I burnt my lip on the cup! Undrinkable, inedible and nothing to tempt me to return!

Nice food but slightly confused service

Oct 2024 • family

We‘d stopped for a light lunch and to look round the farm shop. The food was nice and we even bought some meat (Highland Stacks) and cakes to take home. Staff were friendly and helpful. However, when we tried to order food on arrival, we were directed to sit at a specific table as there wasn’t much space. However, after 30 mins of waiting at the table, we had to queue back up again at the till as nobody had come to take our order. We were then told that basically everything that we wanted had sold out. So we ordered alternatives, which we had to wait another 25 mins for. So - basically we waited an hour (including queuing time) for 2 bacon & egg rolls and a burger. In summary - not the best service but over all a nice place. I think this was a case of lack of communication - but nonetheless it impacted on our experience. Hoping our takeaways taste good though so fingers crossed on that one xx

Avoid if you want service ....

Jul 2024 • friends

This place has went right down hill. But reading other reviews it looks like the owner isn't paying attention so, perhaps reducing footfall will. The attitude of staff is care free. Not really interested in whether or not you are ordering, just an overall malaise about the place. The scones were shockingly dry and the coffee had zero flavour. Your order gets plunked down on the table on a blue plastic tray and you are left to take off the plates and coffee yourself then discard the tray..... Honestly it's laughable. Staff are miserable. This could be a wee gem, but it's worth heading along the road to Loch Levens Larder, or even Heaven Scent for the quality. Yeh its a bit dearer l, but you can thank me later.

Great asset for the local community and beyond

Aug 2024 • family

We pop in here regularly for breakfast or lunch. We particularly enjoy an afternoon tea. It is always carefully prepared with close attention to detail. Nice relaxing atmosphere, with views across the farmland and over to Bishop Hill. Options to sit indoors or outside. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Farm shop stocks a variety of produce and gifts for special occasions, all at reasonable prices. Keep up the great work and hope to see you soon.

Coffee and service could be improved!

May 2024 • friends

This little farm shop is situated in a lovely little area and has a very nice setting outdoor along with a conservatory. We visited for a morning coffee and cake/roll. The table service from the teenage girl was ‘ok’ but there’s certainly room for improvement! In very casual attire (tracksuit and hoody) dropping the tray on the table not even taking the cup and saucer off…. The cake and roll was very tasty. However the coffee could be improved. The cappuccino milk was steamed for too long (too hot/burnt) and no taste of coffee! The ratio of coffee to milk was all wrong… a few small improvements would go a long way here!

Excellent service and good value offerings on menu.

Feb 2024 • friends

Great wee place and dog friendly in the lovely spacious conservatory. The staff were lovely and friendly and brought water and treats for our dog. The food was tasty and a decent price and a good flavoured pot of tea. I had a panini with two fillings which was served with a generous salad and crisps. Very tasty and filling. £8.50. I would certainly go back here again. The farm shop is also very interesting and filled with a variety of tasty foods and gifts

Amazing afternoon teas

Oct 2023 • family

Great spot to stop and recharge while out walking or exploring the area. We often stop by for some lunch, or a coffee and a treat. We recommend the afternoon teas which are homemade and delicious, but need to be booked a couple of days in advance. Staff are always really friendly and helpful. There are seats indoors, as well as outdoors for those sunny days!

Quaint

Aug 2020 • none

Pop in by chance as original place wasn’t open for lunch and we were not disappointed. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. The carrot cake was fantastic and certainly recommended. Plenty parking although inside seating was minimal and because of Covid they had to keep a door beside our table opened which allowed an unwelcome draft in. Well worth a visit but would suggest going on a nice day so you can sit outside

Nice but dated

Mar 2023 • couples

The location is attractive with spacious parking and large interior. The shop has some nice items and the staff are pleasant enough. It is however a bit dated. It is clean and tidy but the old furnishings and crockery has a feel for the aged clientele. We had a pot of tea for two and a couple of scones. The metal pot , the plain white cups and small packets of butter and jam were straight out of 70s seaside hotel. The scone was nice enough but nothing special. It could be so much more.
