St Ninians Tearoom & Shop — Restaurant in Scotland

A nice Tearoom with a truly wonderful view.

Food good, and prices fairly reasonable.

But requires better stock management...

We'd travelled over 180 miles to see my Aunt, and then a further 32 from hers to visit this tearoom.

Everyone had their order in mind, only to then be told there were only Fruit Scones left, no Plain. I hate visiting a tearoom and being told there are no plain scones. It seems its just one of those things that shouldn't happen.
