The Gillespie Centre in Biggar is probably the cafe that got me thinking about this blog in the first place. I discovered this cafe about two years ago when heading south to Englandshire. This weekend I was out for a hurl on the bike when I felt the sudden need for cake, and I was pleased to find that they are open on Saturdays through the summer.The menu consists of (amongst other things) soups, baked spuds and paninis along with teas, coffees and cakes.
I got chatting with one of the ladies who told me that the centre is a busy place with loads going on in the various rooms throughout the building. It is run as a partnership with Biggar kirk, with many volunteers helping out. Despite it being a very nice day, the place wasn't too busy when we visited, and there were plenty of tables free. If you are in Biggar, please give them a visit.
Get a seat in the conservatory and you can watch the world go by!
Opening Hours - Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm (and also Saturdays in the summer.)
