10. Blacketyside Farm Shop

Reviewed By JillM514
Most farm shop cafes Iâve been to are expensive, this is not. looking at the menu the full breakfast was £4.50!! (last place I went was £8.90) and 90p per item if you didnât want the works or wanted double of something! WowI ordered fried egg, sausage and black pudding. My other half had the lentil soup and a sandwich ( his only gripe was that this deal didnât come with the salad a crisps) We really didnât wait long for the food to arrive even though the cafe was really busy. There was lots of staff which helped it run smoothly. The food was really good. The toast was warm and a good colour and the egg was nice and runny. The soup was nice and tasty too. We also opted to have a bit of traybake and with a tea and juice out total cost was £15Very well priced If we are in the area again we would come back. Pity itâs closed on a Sunday

First of all the logistics with the ordering and paying is not great. It is not clear where to order and where to pay and which queues are which. I ordered a baked potato with cheese and asked what came with it, was told nothing. This is shocking considering the baked potato was nearly £5!!!! I fail to see how you could justify asking that price for a potato and cheese?? I understand profit margins but that is ridiculous. ( There wasn't even butter on the potato and the cheese was cheap and rubbery). Anyhoo I ordered a side of salad and side of coleslaw to go with this and these were both of very poor quality! The slaw was nippy and sour and the salad didn't even have a single piece of onion or cucumber in it, it was lettuce covered in sweetcorn for some bizarre reason. Sweetcorn? really?. Apparently the reason no sides are being served with the food any longer is because of the food waste the cafe had "masses of food waste" (Direct staff quote). I can answer your food waste problem easily..... Get better quality produce for the price you are charging! In total I paid a shocking £7 for a baked potato (With side salad - which should actually come with it) and bottle of water. £7 - You do realise that Fife is one of the poorest places in scotland? My Minimum wage is £7.70 - I had to work one whole hour to afford a potato, cheese and water! Really? Please have a look at things this is not right the produce is poor (hence the masses of food waste) and the prices too high!Thanks for taking the time to comment and i`m sorry your experience resulted in such a long negative view of the business. Whilst we used to serve salad with every dish this resulted in those customers who didn`t request it leaving it, though our member of staff hasn`t quite explained this clearly and has somewhat exaggerated the waste issue, though we do serve hundreds of hot items and meals daily so we felt there was no point serving items customers didn`t want. A baked potato with cheese is now £4.55 and side salad is £0.25. Hence a baked potato with side salad is now £4.80 which is more or less what it was before we restructured the pricing. An extra portion of coleslaw is £0.50. Our side salads yesterday should have included rocket, various lettuce leaves as well as the normal salad items (and sweetcorn which people generally seem to like). Our coleslaw is homemade and again, generally well received. A glass bottle of strathmore still or sparkling water is £1.25. I`m not sure what went wrong with your side orders but clearly something has and we would have rectified any complaint at the time if you had mentioned it to us.

Three of us visited Serendipi Tea for lunch today. Until I saw it on TripAdvisor I had no idea that this place existed.The reviews were all excellent and we certainly were not disappointed. The staff were very friendly, the food was good and very reasonably priced. My wife and daughter also thought that the gift shop, within the tearoom, was excellent and the goods also reasonably priced.We will be back. It was certainly worth coming off the by-pass to go through Thornton.
5. Sherry Creations
Reviewed By 839iaina
This absolutely tiny coffee shop is tucked in amongst small units at the south side of the Glamis Centre and is well worth finding. There are only two tables in the cafe, but it does a roaring trade with takeaways. We were there for a late lunch and I had chicken chilli panini which was delicious. My wife and her mum both had afternoon tea. Their sandwiches were large and well filled with plenty of tea, cake and a scone. We were all well filled with our lunch and would recommend this wee place to anyone in the area as the food is good, the prices are reasonable and the service is first class.Thanks very much for your visit! Look forward to seeing you again soon âï¸

Nice little place up the stairs (as its title hints). Good spot for lunch or coffee and cake. Lots of Outlander references as they obviously used the place when filming in Falkland. I loved the teapot collection. Lentil soup hearty and ideal for a rainy day.

This was our first visit here and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is at the rear of an art shop. It was very tastefully decorated. They had a lovely lunch menu but we settled for coffee and their delicious homemade scones. The service from the staff was excellent and very friendly. I would highly recommend and will be making a return visit
