Threave Garden Café has had a major refurbishment. In addition to its fresh new appearance, the café has an exciting new menu that caters to a wide range of dietary requirements. Should you have any concerns regarding ingredients used in our dishes, please ask one of our friendly staff members, who will be happy to advise.
Working closely with our highly skilled gardeners, we use fresh produce from the Threave walled garden year-round as well as source locally produced food, which in turn helps reduce food mileage and our carbon footprint.
Our daily specials are incredibly popular. And to top off your lunch, we have a fantastic variety of cakes, pastries, and traybakes, not to mention our delicious homemade scones.
The indoor seating area is spacious and has a generous dog-friendly section. If you prefer outdoor seating, you’ll love the stunning views of the garden and surrounding area from the terrace, which never fail to impress.
