Howdens Garden Centre - Highland

Staying close by thought we would try roast lunch ,was ok ,not chef standard ,scones were huge nice coffee ,and pleasant seating area .staff were very nice when bringing the meal to our table ,well worth the visit .

I went to Howdens Cafe for a coffee yesterday (26/11/23) at lunchtime. It was busy as usual. Usually I have a delicious roast beef and all the trimmings, but seeing it was busy, I decided just to have a coffee and a piece of shortbread. By the time I was nearly finished my coffee and shortbread, I was thinking that I should have ordered a roast beef. One of the staff members, Audrey, noticed that I was not having my usual delicacy. Without further ado, Audrey went to the kitchen, and within a couple of minutes I had a huge dish of, (you guessed it), Delicious Roast Beef and all the trimmings. I could not get over Audrey's kindness!! The staff are excellent, including the chef, kitchen staff and all the other staff throughout the building. 10/10 Without a shadow of a doubt!! There is a warmth about the place, and that has to do with excellent staff there. Thank you all so much again. Kind Regards. Norman MacLeod.

Find its getting harder to find a place for lunch that still does quality food for less than a tenner a person, even a pretty basic sandwich. Tried Howdens not really expecting much but real pleasant surprise. First up a great menu (including my fave fishfinger sandwich while my better half had a baked potato, both £9) . Then it passed test 2 where many seem to fail these days quality ingredients, decent potions, well prepared. But the bonus was really great staff very friendly and efficient chap with a beard and an equally excellent young man making coffees and taking the order. Will be back.

Staying at Travelodge nearby. So we went twice for breakfasts. Wonderful welcoming staff. Excellent breakfast. Plus some purchases from the lovely store.

I love the shop and the little cafe is great to stop and rest and have a coffee! I had an egg sandwich which I specifically asked for no salad but it came with rocket on it! I just picked it off so no big deal! It was a lovely and very filling egg sandwich! It came with Cole slaw and side salad which my friend ate!
