Gordon Castle Walled Garden’s Cafe

The food was yummy. We enjoyed the afternoon tea. The cost is more than fair as compared to other tea services that easily charge double. You get quality food and you can taste the freshness. The service is wonderful and the staff seem to genuinely like being there.

So disappointed in the service we received after stopping off for lunch on a Saturday. Initially we were shown to a table which was nice and efficient, but sadly after that it went downhill rapidly. Firstly three other obviously Local) families and couples who had arrived after us were served and their orders taken. Ok so have patience and wait, but not for another 25 minutes. On not waiting any longer went to the counter and told the waiting personnel that we were leaving and the reason why, and the reaction a shrug of the shoulders and a smirk on his face, not exactly the response I had been expecting. We continued the discussion which going by the way the conversation was going was not going to prove fruitful. The result was all the staff young and old did not seem to care which is very disappointing. On the way out one young lad told me that we would now be served as a matter of Priority, sorry too late. The lack of anyone senior taking control and overseeing the delivery of orders being taken and delivered in a timely fashion was none existent. Like I said have been on multiple occasions and all has been first class, but sadly will not be returning. Many thanks for the service and excellent food on all our previous visits, will now have to look for somewhere else.

Came upon the Walled garden by accident . Great treat . The garden is wonderful . The cafe very nice good food and service

Perfect for a light lunch after a walk round the garden. Enjoyed the shop as well..They have a great selection of fruit and vegetables and flowers grown in the garden for sale

Had a cheese board and charcuterie board £31.95 for two. Overpriced and mediocre. Very stale bread so hard someone had heated it a little to improve it. Certainly wasn't left from the previous day. There on Wednesday and cafe is closed Monday/Tuesday. Had it been left from the weekend! I mentioned this to staff and waitress was very offhand. Mumbled something incoherent about getting the wrong bread. I asked her to bring us more oatcakes to replace bread as there were only two on the cheese board. She did but no real apology. Service was dreadful waited ages to have our order taken and was on the point of leaving when someone came to our table. When I went to pay the bill she asked if I would like to add a tip on my card. I declined. Sad to see my native country still suffers from poor service and inhospitality . Wouldn't visit there again. But my faith was restored when we went for coffee and cake in a coffee shop Greenacres in Fochabers. Pleasant young woman serving and great service. And yes I did leave a tip
