Gillespie Centre, Biggar

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.)
Located at 74 High Street, Biggar
