Solway Tide - Dumfries Galloway

Lovely quirky tea room with some decent food and pleasant staff. My only quibble which makes it a 4 instead of 5 star review. Is that they serve hot drinks in paper cups. And sandwiches etc in cardboard lunch boxes. I would much prefer proper cups and plates.

What a lovely gem of a tearoom. Beautiful garden, friendly staff and tasty food Suki tea is highly recommended. Xx

This café has an odd welcome: there 's a rope asking you to 'wait to be seated ' right inside the doorway. This was okay for us two, but a family of five who came in after us were forced to leave the door open as they crammed into the small space odd... Anyway, our drinks were very good they had non dairy milk for my hot chocolate.

We visited as a group of 6 adults and 6 children. The lady gave us a very warm welcome, offering to jig the tables around to accommodate us all. The children's menu is simple but perfect for children. The Carot and Lentil soup was amazing and my two girls polished it off and wanted more. I had the chicken, bacon and mayonnaise toastie, this was beautiful and full of flavour. Everyone in our party commented on how nice their food was. The lady who welcomed us gave us lots of information about activities in the local area. When you visit anywhere for the first time the big question is always, would you visit again? ... ....Well we did the very next day! Even the children asked to go back. Excellent tea room with attentive, friendly staff and 5 star food. Thank you

Due to the great weather the garden was a delight to sit in, with the mural on the wall you really felt like you were abroad. Not just usual choice of coffee, but cafetiere and a hot milk with flavoured syrups. Hazelnut was very pleasant. The toilet was clean and tidy.
