A lovely 30 minute drive from my flat brought me here, through a lot of twisty-roads and beautiful country. On arrival, we got given the ugly duckling table of the place, ie not by the window. But after a group left managed to secure ourselves a few of the rolling hills and torrential rain. The menu is great, with a huge variety and GF/veggie options. I had the seafood platter which was huge, as in I struggled to finish it. (Obviously did). No half-portions here, 5 or 6 prawns, a huge helping of salmon, same with the mackerel pate and some incredible oatcakes with salad and dressing. The Dear Green coffee was bitter and black and just how I like it. My heart did want the Salted Caramel Cake with popcorn but it looked slightly too sickly. I opted for a classic brownie and was not disappointed. My friend's meringue with fruit compote and cream was mammoth! Well worth a drive, you can pre-book tables which I would definitely advise. Thanks to Imogen, our waitress who was just lovely despite how busy it was. Can't wait to try the Port Glasgow branch

Having been to their Quarriers Village location and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was quite happy to get…read morethe opportunity to sample the sisters' newest cafe on a cold, but sunny afternoon. This location is a little easier to get to as it's situated in Killearn town hall. Arriving at just before 2, the immediately obvious difference between the 2 locations was that this is much busier than Quarriers. The place was mainly occupied by the lunching ladies of sub-suburbia, save for the odd lunching worker/working luncher. Due to the lunchtime rush the staff seemed to be a wee bit stretched, (the poor folk next to me had to ask for a latte a couple of times before the server came back to say she'd forgotten what they'd asked for), but thankfully I had no problems with the service. I had the tasting platter at the Quarriers location, so of course I ordered it again (after all it was tasty!). When it came out it looked the same, but somehow it was lacking some of its previous magic. Of course I couldn't leave without trying one of their amazing looking cakes from the counter, I went with the flourless tangerine cake (yes it is GF), which was fragrant and not too dry, it had a texture not totally dissimilar to polenta cake. Now it maybe second season syndrome or it could just be a matter of over familiarity, but there does seem to be something missing from Quarriers in this location. I don't know whether it was down to the time of day (I visited Quarriers towards the quieter end of lunch), the fact that this is a somewhat new cafe or down to the glass & white wall environs, as I said it just wasn't the same.. Don't let that put you off trying the place out though, it's still a good cafe, serving good food & the view out across the hills is really beautiful (especially with all the snow). If I taste not time were the issue I'd choose Quarriers Village over Killearn, but otherwise you'll probably choose Killearn for its convenience & almost as good food.

Non of us could fault our food all very tasty plates which included Nacho chicken panini, ham and lentil soup, chicken mayo sandwich, haggis and cheese sandwich and cheddar and chutney sandwich. All sandwiches came with either crisps or salad and the soup had plenty of fresh bread on the side. A selection of drinks from hot chocolate, coffee, chocolate milkshake and tea was lovely too. As always the stroll around the farm shop afterwards is always full of lovely local produce and I always find something tasty to buy :-)

The gift shop does have some amazing products and kitchen decor, so I have to keep my bank card firmly in my pocket! The food selection is vast, your typical cafe with soups, sandwhiches, burgers, paninis etc. There is also a buffet that looks to run during weekend lunch times. The individual tea comes in a silver pot, which is so much nicer than a tea bag being placed in a cup! It's a little detail, but makes you feel like you are eating out. My Grandpa had a ham and cheese sandwhich, which he didn't remark on which is a good thing. I had an incredible open chicken, coleslaw and pineapple coronation sandwhich. Would drive the 25 miles again just for that. I didn't partake in any fine pieces but the selection is vast and looks incredible. The afternoon tea seems like good value. The staff seemed a bit flustered, when I went to pay the bill the lady asked if everything was okay whilst sounding worried?! So not sure, if a bad day, but we had a great time so she had nothing to worry about.

Now that I know about House of Darrach, then I'm likely to plan this as one of my stops on the way to the west coast. As you walk inside, you walk through a bit of a maze of various clothes, foods, and (nice) souvenirs. It reminds me a bit of walking through the duty free shop of an airport after going through security. Then you find yourself looking at a delicious array of baked goods as you make your way around the corner... giant strawberry tarts, huge millionaire shortbread, and countless (ok maybe not exactly countless) other cakes and baked goods. Judging by the other food they had on display, I couldn't imagine that you would find much if any of it to be disappointing. I enjoyed my strawberry fondant and chocolate bake thoroughly, and my friend seemed to love her fruit scone.

We grabbed a few for a lunch later in the day along with a pair of pastries, and some coffee. We ate the pastries in their tearoom and the sandwiches a few hours later on the road.

I kind of want to go back to get another few sandwiches, but sadly I've left Scotland and am back in the states (and my routine work-life). If you are in the area or plan to be, plan to work in a stop. Enjoy!

It was about 9 am and already quite busy, it seemed like everybody who was on the way to Isle of Skye or Glencoe was stopping here. They are known for good sandwiches so we got 2 different ones to try. Both sandwiches came with a purple color coleslaw that was good but we found all the coleslaw in Scotland had too much mayo for our preference. Pastrami with Swiss sandwich: Proper pastrami that is a nice pink with black crust from the nitrates and smoking process. Plenty of cheese and meat but it was very large, had to save half for later or I wouldn't have been able to drive. Turkey sandwich: with pickles and white cheddar, they had some kind of mayo spread that was good. This was surprisingly tasty and we ended up eating more than the kids. If you go down the alley on the side you can eat at a little lake in the back. There's a hill with Worden steps you can climb and from the top you can see a small, old cemetery. They had a wide assortment of country loaves for sale as well!
