The Boathouse - Giffnock

The atmosphere was really nice—quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed a lovely view of the swans and the park. We ordered a few toasties, keeping it simple since we planned to stroll around the entire park afterward. The food was excellent, and the service was delightful. The only downside was the coffee; I didn't particularly care for the type they used, but that might just be me being fussy.

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant thanks to the friendly and efficient staff. The cappuccino was outstanding, and it was beautifully served with jam and whipped cream. The soup was delicious, but the bread roll would have been better if it had been warmed before serving. I will definitely return, but next time I will request that the roll and scone be heated up.

I visited on a sunny Saturday afternoon with three energetic young ones, and the staff promptly found us a table outside. We enjoyed a delightful lunch, and the team was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, and we topped it off with some tasty ice cream for dessert.

Really lovely decor and very clean. I had the smoked mackerel salad and it was delicious. Only aspect that let them down was the service. I suggest severe lack of training. No-one came to ask if we needed anything else or if we would like dessert. We would have had more coffees and drinks if we had managed to get any staff to come over to our table and the boys would have had dessert. But no one checked over with us and no staff nearby to catch their attention so a cheaper bill than it might have been.

Great little location. (Shame they keep getting broken into) Really nice food and the staff on table service is fab. Food and drinks and brought very quickly which is good if you are having to entertain kids! All the standard facilities and easy access. Outdoor seating for hot days available with a lovely view of the small lake.
