“Excellent cafe and all staff very friendly!”

“What an amazing choice of delicious cakes – so hard to choose which one to have! And even a dairy free option which suited us perfectly. thank you.”

We had a lovely day at Traquair House yesterday, as I knew we would. James and Helen did a great job guiding us round the house, the tea/coffee and shortbread in the 18thC dining room was to die for, and lunch in the Walled Garden Cafe was great

Just wanted to say thanks so much for an amazing visit.  All of the clients, myself included, were blown away by how lovely all the staff were and left hoping to return to the beautiful Traquair House. ​The staff at the Café were great at getting us all fed and watered, I heard a lot of “best soup I have ever had” from our clients!!

Thank you so much for a wonderful birthday event on Saturday. It was exactly what I had hoped for, Caroline and the team were all so nice and did a wonderful job.  Everyone commented on the lovely setting, and also how good the food was, so please pass my thanks on to your chef who absolutely nailed the brief. It was all so delicious, and just exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you so much again for being so accommodating and creating exactly the celebration I had in mind.
