Embracing our Lovely Local Suppliers is really important to us at Glenbarr Cafe, Highland Beef from our own farm, Cheese from Campbeltown, eggs from the farm next door, milk from the Isle of Gigha just off the coast and Smoked Salmon from Skipness are among some of the local products we offer. This year we're branching out and adding some Seafood from our local suppliers to our menu, creating Platters for you to share or just enjoy on your own. The cafe has outside seating and seating in the Greenhouse.

“For the unusual everyday” from the daily paper to something a little special, Glenbarr Stores offers a wide selection of products and gifts, supporting local business is really important to us.

Our Garden Centre is a hive of activity in the spring and summer and the cafe always has a buzz, there is outside seating too.

The food was delicious and great value for money. The service was excellent and friendly- they even had treats for our dog. I didn’t buy plants but my wife and friend did - they were impressed by the selection available. We were allowed to change to an outdoor table to have coffee and cakes which were also amazing!
