   A great little cafe opposite the South Lanarkshire Council buildings. There is a good selection of food and drinks available at very reasonable prices. There is limited seating here as most people order to take out. However, we ate in and it was fine. There are also no customer toilet facilities. Although this is a very busy cafe, service is fairly quick from friendly and helpful staff. Also note, The Hungry Gannet is cash only.

   First time visit but won't be our last. My husband and I decided to try for breakfast following recommendations and so glad we did. This is a great wee place, loved all the nostalgic quirky items used to decorate. Staff were really friendly and the food was amazing. We will definitely be back again and would recommend. Cash only but there is a bank next to it.

   While looking through old photos of our 2022 trip to the UK, I stumbled upon pictures of the dishes we had at The Hungry Gannet and was instantly transported back to that wonderful day. My husband and I were traveling from Glasgow to Manchester and initially sought a good takeaway spot. By chance, we discovered The Hungry Gannet—and we’re so glad we decided to stop and dine in for brunch instead! The food was absolutely amazing. Portions were generous and satisfying. My omelette (with chicken and tomatoes) was hefty—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and served with a wonderfully refreshing salad. My husband had the Tandoori Chicken Wrap, and coming from Singapore, where Indian food is a staple, he was impressed by how authentic and flavourful it was. We polished off everything on our plates, though we couldn’t quite finish the strawberry milkshake—it was delicious but we were too full! The café itself was cozy and intimate, despite being bustling from the moment we arrived until the time we left. The staff were super friendly, and we were fortunate to be served by the owner himself, who was warm and gentle. His kindness left a lasting impression on me, and it made our visit all the more special. I was genuinely sad we couldn’t return before leaving Scotland. Here’s hoping we cross paths again someday. Wishing all the best to this incredible establishment!

   A small and neat restaurant to replete your tummy with some breakfast and lunch items. Very busy during weekend. Seating arrangements are limited but well maintained. Tasted their baked potatoes with chicken filling and salad. Taste was pleasant and replete your tummy. Prices are reasonable enough . Take away available.

   We stumbled with The Hungry Gannet while my kids were having swimming lesson. What a fantastic place, so polite, smiling and helpful team members. The owner's hospitality is above and beyond. We have Chargrilled chicken with Chips and Grilled veg baguette, with cappuccino and tea. Food is absolutely die for, so fresh. First time I have seen so good place where difficult to fund any fault. Their selection of icecream we couldn't enjoy but worth a try in summer time. Keep rocking team The Hungry Gannet, you deserve all the awards should you wish to enter. My all votes to you.

   What a gem and so few would find it! You really don't often find a cafe/takeaway with such a range of fresh, appetising food to meet all tastes. Excellent value for money, great quality food. The menu is vast from all corners of the globe. I really enjoyed the decor, the cosy quirky feel and we were lucky enough to get a table, only 3 tables so get there early. I'd love to have tried the coffee but already had my caffeine quota, and maybe a cake next time! Staff super helpful and I enjoyed feeling like I was supporting a family run business who really care about their products and service. Will be back. Many thanks.

   Fantastic breakfast joint. Open at 9 on a Sunday. (We we’re staying at the premier inn and this breakfast is far superior) 3 options of cooked breakfast - the smallest was plenty for us. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly. Would definitely go back. Only pointer - this place is not vegetarian friendly…

   In terms of cakes/traybakes - this is the place to go. A fantastic selection, all home-made, and really good value for money. Breakfast rolls are always nice too. However, the quality of hot food at lunch times has really gone downhill recently. The chips are soggy, macaroni is quite bland and the chicken has changed from big, fresh, crispy pieces of chicken to tasteless, rubbery breaded patties that they've ordered in. The staff are always so friendly and attentive, but its a shame that the lunchtime food is just no longer enjoyable in my opinion.

   Best breakfast in the town. Their Scottish/ English breakfast is the best to start with. Lorne sausage is the best part of breakfast. Also try their special coffee, it is really good. Prices are extremely low and tiny place with couple of seats. The time i visisted was very busy and almost 5-7 people always in queue for an hour. Good unique interior.
