Like most garden centers the food is a little expensive. The coffee is really good. I would not chose this place to go and have lunch or generally do shopping. When the play area is open it's worth a visit to keep kids amused.
We came here for a girls Lunch, my daughter, my mum and myself, it was a quick stop before heading for an afternoon of shopping.
I haven't been here for quite some time, so the layout had changed a bit, but there were lots of available tables.
The staff were friendly, and we were served our food fairly quickly. There were a good selection on the menu, even for the gluten free in our party, at reasonable prices.
We all chose various salads, salmon, and gammon ham, they came well presented, and a good variety on our plates, we all enjoyed them very much, very tasty.
We would definitely return again.
We contacted the garden centre to see if they had a certain house plant in stock. A male member of staff was very helpful, so we decided to drive through and get them. We went up to the indoor garden area desk and the young man we spoke to showed us where they were. He was very polite and informative about the plants which helped alot. The rest of the garden centre had such a good selection of things, especially the Christmas ornaments etc. Will definitely be returning soon to have a good look round again.
We had ours son’s birthday today at Christie’s and it was absolutely amazing. Thank you to Julie and her team for a stress free party. Everything was organised efficiently. 3 different types of crafts for the kids to choose from and customised lunch boxes in addition to full access to the play garden. Special mention to Tamsyn for the booking and easy communication from start to finish. A 5* service and all the kids loved it. Thank you for a great day!!
Good garden centre. Plenty of choice and good healthy looking plants.
Staff very friendly and helpful. We haven't tried the café yet but it looks very clean and the food we saw looked appetising.
Fochabers itself is also good to visit so things to do after you've satisfied your green thumb 👍
Nice friendly staff. Visited the restaurant. Waited a long time to be served
We only walked around the garden centre there are some really nice pieces to be bought did buy some books and jigsaw for my great great nephew. It is quite upmarket for clothes more for older ages. Designer makes are a bit expensive for me but but we'll worth a visit
On way back from findhorn decided to stop at Christie's for coffee and cakes !! Love it there service good coffee and cakes yummy , shop always worth a look round really nice stuff plus they have a great garden centre been there a few times on our way up and down north.
We love the garden centre and lovely shop areas inside, staff are friendly and helpful. We tried the eatery for the first time, really big place, comfy seats, but our breakie was cold and coffee, might have been as it was just as they opened, next time ill ask if it could be hotter, giving them a second chance. ;-) options for veggie and vegans.
22 members of the Bon Accord 50+ Outdoor Forum enjoyed an excellent High Tea at Christie's on Wed, 21st June. Margaret and staff as well as the food couldn't have been better. Thank-you
