Threaplands Garden Centre

We were first in and much of the breakfast was cool not hot. ie beans, sausage, mushrooms and bacon. We did report it, my wife's beans were reheated but when it came back the mushrooms were cool. I did not send mine back as an ex serviceman I put up with it.

Treat my mum to lunch here now and then and the chicken fillets are just beautiful. So tasty. Great potion sizes. Lovely treat out

Garden centre and cafe - midrange prices for items so would say two ££ out of three £££.Easy disabled access to the building and parking, also decent space within for browsing and social distancing and to get a wheelchair round, a lift available to get to the first floor where they have some additional stock to peruse. Well lit and lovely displays.Friendly for all ages with baby changing and disabled toilets as well.Good range of items; from clothes like jackets and scarfs and hats, dog and cat items, indoor and outdoor plants and gardening equipment and decor, assortment of cards, bathroom soaps, edibles such as shortbread and jams and chocolate, toys for children and quirky gift ideas ☆Cafe is disabled access friendly and the tables are large and tall and the chairs are very comfortable, good view out the window seats with an offshoot cafe room for events or extra seating, as well as an extra setup of seating outside but it is sheltered. Tables can seat up to 6 folk.Strong lattes and decent food sizes and portions for the prices on the menu. Takeaway options available for cakes and scones etc.If its busy around lunch time the queue to be seated can be up to 10 mins, and on the rare occasion the table service up to 20 mins, but generally decent time and friendly and helpful staff both in cafe and garden centre/shop area.A pleasant outing for gift browsing and a coffee and cake with friends or breakfast/lunch.

Went there for Sunday lunch. Delicious food, strangely we couldn't have a small portion of soup as part of the 'soup and sandwich' deal. Unfortunately, no longer serving Sunday roast. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Nice centrum. Big place, big selection. Nice cafe place.

Threaplands is more restaurant with a gardening bit than garden centre. A lot of time, money and thought has gone into the restaurant. The range of food available is quite extensive. It was really busy when we visited (a Wednesday) and a look at the menu tells you why. They have a special offer for pensioners and also have specials of 2 or 3 courses. The garden centre is a let down. It is very small with little choice. Better gardening shopping is available in nearby Elgin or even Christies. The shop section is slightly better. However it still only took about 10 minutes to browse it all. If you are looking for a reasonably priced meal this is the place. If you're looking for gardening stuff I'd give it a miss.

After passing this place for years since it opened i decided to go check out the restaurant. I was expecting this to be like McVeigh's, however it was more like a proper swanky restaurant. Have to wait to be seated which was quick asked to go outside as it was a lovely day and got to sit in this lovely marquee which kept me both cool and shaded. It's a gorgeous place the whole shop toilets and restaurant are squeaky clean, very new and stunning. The prices are quite high and deservedly so. Went for a chilli baked tattie and a bit of cheescake also a coke which was bottomless so i made sure to grab a couple of free refills. Food was top quality worth the price as the quantity was also great i struggled to finish eating it was so much. The service was just right too, they was around enough to make sure you got your drinks and tidy up but not so much it became annoying and everyone seemed friendly. Its too pricey a place to stop everyday when passing. More the place you'd have a good family day out picking some new stuff for the garden and getting some fine food. I'll definitely pop in for a cheeky one again when my bank manager recovers its worth it.
