Courtyard Cafe Kelburn Gelati Sweet Shop

We had some lovely home made soup and sandwiches, very fresh, and the kids had good platefuls of the usual things they enjoy-not much left at the end!

Visited the wonderful Kelburn Country Park today. The park is amazing and what a great time we had with the park events and the Kelburn staff were wonderful. Shame a member of the cafe staff can't take a note from it. Went into the cafe and purchased 4 rolls and drinks, took them outside to sit, only to be approached by a staff member telling us the tables belonged to the cafe and weren't for picnics. My kids were sitting with crisps and snacks we'd brought but we'd also spent almost twenty pounds in the cafe. I said that I'd bought items from the cafe but the reply was that didn't matter because we had a picnic bag with us and that sends a message to others that the tables can be used for picnics. The staff member proceeded to place a sign on the table intimating only purchases from the cafe could be eaten there, fair enough. She then went on to say that we were fine to finish our food on this occasion, I would think so!!! I bought it from your establishment.Tea and afternoon cake were swiftly cancelled as there was no way I was going to spend any more of my money in the cafe due to one member of staff and the way we were approached. This review is not a reflection of other members of staff or Kelburn park but for anyone planning on going soon....stick to a picnic!

Nice food, friendly service with children's menu available. Dogs welcome to with water bowls available. Indoor and outdoor seating available as well as a grassy area to sit on.

We stopped by on our visit to the castle. The Gelato store was closed, but we had coffee and a snack in the café. Very friendly.

On visiting Kelburn we stopped in for a quick bite. Staff were lovely and were absolutely happy to divide one childrens portion between 2 small children. Portions are of good size and cooked to standards. Lovely atmosphere to dine in.
