"Stange place. On the one hand we would highly recommend the garden centre and especially the garden plants section, which is utterly superb (as is the fresh fruit and veg. section). But what a let down the restaurant food was. We ordered an avocado and humous sandwich which was served on what appeared to be cheap shop bought brown bread apparently un buttered. The thin smear of avocado on one slice and humous on the other (with dreary carrot grated on top) meant that it was uncomfortably dry, accentuated by un dressed salad and salty crisps. It needed a whole pot of tea to wash it down, otherwise would have been inedible. Meanwhile the other gourmet fish finger sandwich was served on what appeared to be cheap, unbuttered, shop bought white bread, making it claggy, un appetising and difficult to eat. Not worth the money. The staff were very pleasant though. Thoughts for what it 's worth, our experience is that we had planned a trip to Kelso, but had previously read your reviews on the Mayfield Garden Centre restaurant, and had decided to eat elsewhere. But we found that parking in Kelso Town Centre was impossible. The Mayfield Restaurant was busy and we had to queue, so perhaps other people also experienced our parking difficulties and veered towards the this place, simply because there is ample parking. We won 't return."
