Not a bad pub the music was alright but to loud for size of place could not have a conversation with the people you were with all in all not a bad night the time we were in on the way home.

Went with my family for christmas dinner, which we had booked. An hour after getting there we were given an extremely small meagre and poorly presented starter. Half an hour later we got our main. Again poor portions. Server's were polite enough but service itself let them down. That and the place was utterly freezing. Wouldnt recommend.

Good bands on Saturdays. However our last visit left much to be desired due to one member of staff constantly disappearing to chat to her friends. The 3 times she attempted to serve us, all of our drinks were wrong. Also didn't have enough glasses and got served a gin & tonic in a pint glass! Don't appreciate the barmaid being more drunk than some of the customers. Sorry guys, you need to up your game.

Table booked on 24/12/2019 for 9 people to have lunch on 5th Jan 2019. We were told when ordering our drinks that they had only one can of diet coke!! Bad start. One hour after our arrival no food had been brought to the table. Eventually starters were served. Food average. When we asked for salad cream for a salad it was to be told that they didn't have any! I ordered fish and chips and was told they didn't have any fish ' only scampi. Attitude to customers was take it or leave it! I felt they had let us down and Dalry down. We will not go back there again.

For a start, I don’t understand why a commercial building built in the late 90’s doesn’t have a lift given my guess of the average age of their clientele. We went for tea and a scone with my mum who is recovering from getting a new knee. We were told that we could have a table in the foyer cos the restaurant wasn’t accessible. They then changed their mind and told us that we couldn’t order a tea and a scone because there was already 6 people in their restaurant and it would be at least 30 minutes before they could put in a new order. There were 4 people in the empty shop, two in the foyer and presumably numerous staff in the cafe. Between them they couldn’t get us a tea and a scone. We won’t be back.
