Equestrian centre in Renfrewshire

Went for a birthday dinner and my meal was awful. The rest of the meals were fine. However the prawn cocktail I do not recommend. The person next to me ordered this and it looked lovely. So I decided to order this with a side portion of fries. What I recieved was a disgrace!. It looked nothing like the one the person at the other table had. They had a large quantity of prawn cocktail in a beautiful red large bowl presented well. Mines was a very poor portion in a tiny soup bowl! Lucky if I had 4 leafs of lettuce with what looked like scrambled egg, as the prawns were so small. I will not be going back as I have emailed them twice in regards to this and not had Any reply. I did complain at the time also.

We love Palominos and dine here often. One of my favourite dishes is the lasagne unfortunately it’s not nearly as good as it used to be. Think there must be a new chef. It’s now served in metal dishes and it’s just not the same. Such a shame as it was delicious before the change. Disappointed with the change.

My wife and I visited for the first time after it opening due to COVID, the setting and everything about the place is 5 star except the service now .. everything seemed ok we were shown to a table and drinks order taken etc then after that we became invisible. This was not due to the lack of staff as there were plenty staff but they seemed more intent on a catch-up? Our order arrived without the chips ( still waiting) and waitress must have got lost looking for black pepper 😔and that’s the last we had anybody at our table until Iapproached the bar for My bill. The barman brought the Bill and again he disappeared and so it went on... We spoke to the duty manager and she said she would look into , so we have to take her word on this🤔 Hopefully it is just new staff they have in and not yet fully trained

We go here quite regular and the food is fantastic bit pricey if not on a deal but fab nom the less. Service is good and the cakes are amazing. The only down side which caused a 4 rather than a five, the restaurant is very dark inside which I don’t like would be better if blinds were up and u got the light in from the arena,

Looking forward to lunch at centre we were disappointed as it was really windy and cold rain trying to come in no canopies ?? Come on we don't get sunshine very often therefore if you want customers you need to addrhess this issue. we did not enjoy the experience.

From start to finish I cannot praise the equestrian centre enough for my son’s wedding. The attention to detail and the lovely staff all went to making this a perfect day. My husband and I had a chalet for the two nights and I was delighted with it. No complaints at all.

Easy for us to nip up for dinner on an impulse, they can always squeeze us in about 6pm. The staff are well selected and trained, everything is too class and they even had some great German beer the last time. Portions are very generous and the quality of food has always been good with the menu changing every now and then. A great asset to the Bishopton area.

My wife and friend dropped in here and enjoyed drinks, steak pie and desert, the food although a tas pricey was good and the service excellent which was a massive uplift on a recent gala event we had here where the buffet at over £1000 was pitiful, the service shockingly bad and the night comprised by inefficient staff, to be fair we did complain, the hotel acknowledged the standard was poor and offered us an overnight stay in a lodge as compen. The ugly was the weather it was pouring down but the centre was lit up in the evening and looked great

A delightful setting. Welcoming staff. A delicious afternoon tea served so delicately ans appealing to the eye. Sandwiches delicious and varied , light scones served slightly warm with jam and cream (in jars) and a really beautiful selection of daintily and delicious cakes. Plenty hot tea replaced as often as required. A truly lovely day out for a special aunt Used a smart box gift card. With no problem

The food always sounds better than it actually is. I am always disappointed with it. Service is great and the surroundings are great too. The food just misses the mark.

Been to palomino’s on several occasions over the last few months. food is lovely and quite large portions. I have tried the steak pie, fillet steak, and the burger, which was enormous, all very nice. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Booked a table for 6 for my daughters special birthday.........in the afternoon I handed in balloons ,cup cakes sparklers and table decorations and was assured the table would be dressed for our arrival .......didn’t happen We arrived at 7.40 got served our starter at 9pm and main at 10pm for this dreadful service we received a drink on the house which didn’t even soften the blow of a disastrous evening

Lovely meal pleasant staff Always enjoy the setting here So nice to see the horses when sitting here the grounds outside are lovely too

Lovely meal here with partner. Staff very friendly and made us feel very welcome and looked after.Great choice on menu and huge portions.Lovely relaxing resteraunt would definatley return for further meals

Couldn't wait to eat my Ploughmans sandwich on sourdough bread. The description was certainly tempting. I was expecting way too much! The ham was the thinnest slice (square), with the tiniest amount of grated cheese I've ever seen. A scraping of honey mustard which sadly I couldn't taste. The bread, pre cut ,and you know the way bread is when left out and not covered, or possibly made up and not picked up quickly enough by the server? The little garnish was nice with crisps on the side.Very, very disappointing indeed. Nearly £7 absolutely not worth it. Come on guys you can do much better!

Looks like 25% increases in the price of some dishes. Seriously ... Whilst the food is good enough, the price changes will stop me from returning.

Pre-booked a table overlooking the equestrian area, service was good with a comprehensive menu, free parking adjacent.

We ate here for a birthday dinner and were not disappointed, the service was friendly and efficient and the restaurant clean and with a good atmosphere, the food portions for us, were quite big but were very tasty and well presented, we enjoyed it and will be returning again to sample other menu options.

Not only does this restaurant have top class food but it also has a great back drop in the form of horse riding in the main arena.This has to be one of the best valued restaurants in the Inverclyde/ South West of Glasgow area where we paid £85 for four, 1 salmon pasta, 1 king prawns linguini, 2 seafood combos with scallops king prawns etc, 1 rum and coke 2 large red wines and a pint of lager.When you consider that we took our Australian visitors to the Taj Mahal in Gourock a few days earlier which for more or less the same price proved to be a total embarresment but thankfully the Equestrian center more than made up for it.

Estábamos celebrando el cumpleaños de mi hermano en la ley 65th el viernes 14 de julio, en el comedor privado, y la chica que nos servía (que he olvidado el nombre) fue simplemente excelente!

A high quality full service venue with stables, state of the art exercise and rehabilitation equipment with knowledgeable and attentive staff. On site hotel and restaurants make it an added bonus.

Este es un cinco estrellas con un montón de lugar de pasturas y establo de los caballos son muy bien cuidados, con todas las comodidades que requieren. Tienes una opción de alojamiento en el hotel o una eithet de allí nuevas refugios adyacente a los establos. Una visita obligada para los amantes de los caballos.

El servicio aquí es simplemente fantástico. La cantidad de atención y nunca ningún indicio de apuros en cualquier momento.

Visitamos aquí para la cena de San Valentín. Había 3 menús para elegir el menú el menú a la carta. Esta fue la que elegir tanto teníamos las vieiras para empezar estaban bien, lo mejor, tuve la lubina y mi marido tenía la carne que era preciosa y muy bien presentado. El Strawberry refresco mi marido pidió también era preciosa, lo suficientemente grandes para compartir, yo tenía café y pastel el pastel era bruto mezcla de esponja, no era de mi gusto. El lugar en sí era impecable los aseos impecables y el personal era encantador, amable y muy atento. Sin duda volveré también había un cantante que era muy bueno para no ruidoso. . . Experiencia excelente

Went there for lunch a couple of times during my 4 day stay in the area. Fantastic atmosphere and surroundings, lovely food and friendly service. Next time I am in the area I will book into the hotel for my stay.

El plato más sabroso que he comido por un largo tiempo. salmón con verduras asadas y patatas muy bien cocinados y presentados. Servicio excelente y personal igualmente. Decoración de navidad una delicia.

Tuvimos una comida excelente para un regalo de cumpleaños para uno de los del grupo de amigos. Nos sentamos en un rincón tranquilo con una vista de caballos siendo capacitados. Selección de la comida era excelente, así como el nivel y el servicio. Una excelente noche que todos disfrutamos.

Las noticias las chicas cuidaron mi mujer y yo durante nuestra lección de caballos de equitación. Hizo también muy interesante y agradable

We attended this venue as a birthday treat with friends. Initially they could not find our booking but this was son remedied. The service was good and the food was excellent. Also the entertainment that evening was superb as well as the horse on show. Well worth a visit!!

Meals are lovely,and venue comfortable,staff helpful and pleasant menu varied and reasonabley priced

Dined at Palomino's while staying overnight at the adjacent Ingliston hotel.Meal was great, in fact my penne had possibly the best pasta sauce I have tasted for a very long time. Live music too, a guy with a guitar who played and sang a nice eclectic range of songs (though without any patter at all by way of introducing them).Highlight was being able to watch through the picture windows into the arena where riders were practising for a showjumping competition the following day.But a huge minus was that for the whole evening several video screens in the restaurant and bar were showing interminable wedding promo videos (or rather the one video over and over and over again). No, I don't want to get married at Ingliston and even if I did, a couple of viewings would have given me everything I needed. I really can't understand what the endless repetition was intended to achieve, but if I'd beeñ staying for a second night I'd definitely have found somewhere else to eat.A real shame given that the food was so good (great Italian ice-cream, too) and the equestrian entertainment a bonus.

Great food, lovely setting, the friendly happy staff provided good service and were great with the young children in our party. Lovely table overlooking the riding arena with great views of the horses which the children loved - really enjoyed our visit.

Me and my husband got married here last October it was fantastic we had our reception in the new wedding suite and everything was pristine and all looked gorgeous we were delighted with what we seen when we arrived the staff were excellent especially Jamie our wedding coordinator such an asset to the centre a very friendly and helpful guy who knew and done his job with the highest of standard.All my guests had an absolute ball the food was highly praised as was the dj who had us all dancing from start to Finnish we couldn't have asked for a more special day and finally to the new honeymoon suite it was gorgeous only draw back you didn't get enough time to enjoy it all the breakfast in the hotel was just what we needed to help us over the well deserved hangovers so thanks again to all the staff and organisers use done a grand job just wish we could do it all again this October thanks a million Kevin & Marie.

We were attending a wedding the following day, setting up the wedding cake and having a quiet meal. Manager could not have been more helpful despite the fact it was extremely busy in the restaurant. He secured us a table, and afterwards opened up the function suite for us to set up the cake, saving us the stress on the wedding morning. Our meal in the country club was delicious, and yet the price was reasonable. If considering a wedding location, you will not get better.

Visiting family in Scotland and we were treated to a meal by my brother, who is a member. I Could not fault anything. Beautiful surroundings. Top notch food. Friendly, helpful staff. I Would not hesitate to return.

Hotel wonderful, clean, very tastefully decorated. Bed comfortable, offer of soft pillows if required. Free wi-Fi. Fluffy white towels. Bathroom very clean which is a must for me. Well impressed. Breakfast great. Xx

These stables were so clean and tidy and well presented as were the staff who were very friendly on our walkabout on the Sunday morning after the wedding in the Hotel

Visited Palamino's restaurant for a large family gathering of ~20 people @ 7.30pm. The restaurant was fairly quiet and the table location was private which was awesome. Maybe Palamino's is not set up to handle large groups, but many of the people in the group were served independently, so some people were finishing main courses as others were served. There was a single waiter for the group with someone else serving drinks from time to time. As this was a memorable event, the staff were more than accommodating when asked. Even took pictures outside of the group!The location is great and the venue was also awesome, but felt like the food was just mediocre (including the carvery)..Definitely expect much more from a place averaging over £20 per person, and the pomp and circumstance of the location etc.

fantastic facilities for horse riding lessons for all ages, especially for competitors training and preparing for shows

We went here for a Sunday lunch three of us got the carvery between us we got the turkey which was ok. The ham was ok if a little salty the veg was ok at best some of the veg was either of the frozen variety or was under the heated lamps to long but the thing that really annoyed us was two of us ordered Diet Coke and specifically requested cans as we hate the syrupy rubbishy from the gun when the arrived in a glass we asked the waitress the one with short blond cropped hair if these were draught she assured us they weren't as soon as we tasted them we sent them back. To make matters worse we ordered a second round the same thing happened with the same waitress she said she saw them being poured what she did not know I also saw them being poured from the gun she was blatantly lied not very assuring the one in our party who got the club sandwich picked wisely as that was the best of the four of us as for the cutlery we had to saw through the meat as the knifes could do with sharpening

Visited here recently on a busy Sunday afternoon, but we were fortunate enough to get a table. Traditional food, Lasagne, pasta, pizza, steak pie so nothing outstanding and vastly overpriced. The service, with the exception of being brought the wrong drinks, (just don't think the waiter paid any attention) and white wine that wasn't cold was good but it kind of gave the impression that they didn't really want you hanging about once you had finished your meal - one of the managers was even walking about looking at tables to see who was waiting to be pay and then pointing to the staff to get to the table. The food was fine, nothing really to write home about. I visited this place when it first opened a few years ago and nothing has really changed about it except for the huge increase in prices, especially the starters. I would think that this is due mainly to the popularity of the Equestrian side of things

I have had mixed experiences here. My first lesson was great loved it and couldnt rate it high enough. The 2nd lesson we got 10minutes worth of lessons when we paid for 30mins. My friend was given a pony (she is 5'11) which kept bucking as it was getting a fright from the rain. The instructor gave her in trouble for being scared. She asked for another horse which took 10 -15mins to arrive. We asked for a partial refund and we were told - some things are out with our control- so we wasted £66 on half an hour. Would not go back and would not recommend to anyone, unless you want to be ripped off and put in a scary situation.

I have had nice food here,but think it is overpriced for what you get.The pasta dishes aren't memorable and everything else is overpriced.

had lunch here have been many times before service always very good food good but gettng a bit pricey x menu not as varied either xx nice place to sit and chill,

The breakfast at the hotel was terrible!! A buffet of the cheapest oil-soaked ingredients you can ever find. A few bits of fruit for those that don't eat fried foods and the obligatory cereal boxes and juice jugs.You would get better in a bed and breakfast, Premier inn or greasy spoon.There is nothing Five star about this place or the food

the Palamino Bistro is lovely & while dining you can watch the horse riding . Good variety of food , made fresh & good sized portions . the waiting staff were very attentive but willing to let you take as long as you want to order . All the food we ordered was very nice & the desserts were amazing . It is situated in the countryside so it's very peaceful . you can walk round the grounds & see the horses . they also have lovely lodges . A very popular place for weddings. As it's in the country you need a car but worth the drive . would recommend this place , lovely

Wasn't impressed by the lunch time menu as it was only snacky type food salads etc unless eating a la carte. I had fish in a bun with fries, very small piece of fish hardly worth the price. My niece had a pesto salad which she didn't finish. She didn't comment on it. My sister had a salmon and prawn salad which she said was lovely and raved about the citrus dressing on it. All in all it was very pricey for what we had. A la carte too expensive for lunch time.

Equestrian Centre situated in a most beautiful high spot on the outskirts of Bishopton, Port Glasgow. Going from strength to strength over the years and now with hotel accommodation, hair dressing salon as well as stables but I Personally have enjoyed drinks and meals, lunch and evening time and cannot fault in any way. Would highly recommend, also provide accommodation for weddings etc etc etc.

Lovely venue with delightful staff. The food as always was excellent. The surroundings are excellent and very entertaining if there are some riders schooling their horses while you eat!! Service a wee but slow but the staff are very helpful

Food still very disappointing after third and last try. A shame because it's a beautiful place. A couple next to us sent their meal back because of the smell from their steaks only to be told it was fine by the chef. Two ladies at the next table left their burgers after one bite and the fish I ordered was bland like the pizza and fillet on my previous two visits. Crying out for a good chef.

Visited here for a family birthday meal , the good was fantastic , great selection of main courses and starters, all served up by a very attentive waiter , who paid attention to every detail . We will certainly be back to this great place thank you all for a great night

Just not worth the effort of going, lack of experienced staff spoiled our day. Service appalling- such a shame because it's a lovely place.

The family often go here as the food is very good and very reasonable. The staff are pleasant and helpful and the decore is quite upmarket but with warm friendly atmosphere. It a novelty to be able to watch the equestrian centre in full swing, if you are lucky.!

I stayed at the adjacent country club hotel and dined here. I wish I hadn't. The starter I ordered was Italian bread with balsamic and olive oil dips. What arrived was a day old slices of bread bought from a supermarket with two small pots of balsamic and olive oil, having to pour these on to my plate as the pots were so small. For main course I had Linguine Bolognese which was okay. The small sparkling water which I ordered never arrived unfortunately. I stayed on a Tuesday night which wasn't particularly busy so don't see the reason for the poor experience. Shame as the location and ambience are spot on.

food was not great and it was expensive too.best thing to choose is the pizza,but not much else is good

Me & my family ate here other night & food & service is as good as it always is. The menu has lots to choose from & my husband enjoyed the carvery too. My daughter always loves to watch the horses whilst we eat & I have to say it does keep her entertained.One thing is they have taken my favourite spaghetti dish off the menu, it was on the set menu & they don't have it on the regular menu either. Overall the food, the service & the setting it lovely.

The equestrian centres restaurant Palominos is the perfect place for a special celebration/or not. The stylish look along with excellent food, good prices and great staff made the meal a pleasure. There is no rush to get you fed and get you out attitude with nice soft background music he help the ambience. We have been before and have no complaints. The standard of food would not be lost in a Michelin star restaurant. Not to forget the horses being ridden in view from our table. Our daughter has now booked her wedding here for 2015.

Used some gift vouchers that we were given to visit this outstanding place for lunch recently - an equestrian centre does not sound the sort of place that would serve good food but what a surprise - the place is like a 5* hotel inside and the food quality & quantity was superb and not too expensive given the décor and quality of the premises - we went mid week and the place was almost full with diners - great sign

Fantastic centre, with choice of eating on the patio or inside at palominos restaurant. from inside you can view the lessons as it has glass windows all around so you can see what activities are on in the riding world outside. They have so many areas now including a small children's play area situated outside with tables to sit and have a drink. Also the function suite which is stunning inside. Was there for a bite to eat and as it was a glorious day we sat on the patio and waiting staff took our food and drink order from us. We had a lovely vist and will be back.

Food and service were very good. There was not any atmosphere on the day that we were there as there were only 2 other people in when we arrived, although it got slightly busier later on. No horses in the indoor school so didn't have much of a view but again later on someone was having a lesson, which was fun to watch. I'm sure this place can be buzzing when it's busy and will go back again as enjoyed the lunch.

Have eaten here twice. First time the food was rubbish, waiting staff unfriendly, over priced and not worth the money. Giving it the benefit of the doubt tried again and will say really disappointed and will not be going back. Food was bad, took ages for staff to take our orders, drinks took twenty minutes to get to us, time in between courses was bad, thirty five minutes between starters being taken away and main courses arriving. Not a happy reviewer.

Pour goûter la cuisine écossaise dans un cadre magnifique, c'est ici qu'il faut aller!restaurant avec vue sur le manège, service impeccable , rapide et sympathique .Menu à partir de 13£ la semaine et plat à partir de 9£ Essayez les boulettes de haggis un vrai délice , délicatement parfumée ... Fish and chips taille XXL! Les crumbles sont aussi escellents

We had booked to stay in the Country Club for a weekend of weddings so decided to visit Palominos on our free night. When we were seated we weren't asked for a drinks order, to us this wasn't a big deal as you like to get settled, but the person we later asked for drinks wanted a description of the original server.......Meal was lovely and everything was served at the correct temperature, drinks were as ordered apart from a Calypso coffee having Cointreau rather than Tia Maria. Prices were resonable, staff were lovely if a little scatterbrained at times, would probably go back.

Ate here on Saturday evening, I will keep this short, very mediocre food, friendly service BUT SLOW SLOW we waited for an age between courses, I complained but was told "It's only been 10 minutes, absolutely not was 30 minutes!! Not worth the inflated prices for what is basically pub grub.

My sister, daughter and myself wanted to treat my our Mum on her 88th birthday. She was absolutely delighted wuth the venue and the fact that she was able to watch horses practicing in the arena. The food was lovely and the waitors extremely pleasant and attentive. We had bought a cake in which the waitors bought over with our coffee while singing Happy Birthday to Mum. How nice that the rest of the customers clapped along. Although this reduced her to tears for a moment it was tears of sheer happpiness. Thank you all for putting up with the chaos we must have caused and for being so very nice. We had a wonderful time. Watch out for us next year whe Mum turns 89!!!

I Love this place! We took our Papa (Grandad) here for his 80th Birthday dinner before his surprise party at a different location. As a party of 9 we were a party of varying ages and varying tastes as well as attention spans! We were sat by the windows that look onto the equestrian arena which gave those of the short attention spans, something to watch, as well as being enjoyed by others at the table. As we had somewhere else to be later in the evening, the table we were sat at had been decorated for us, service was swift and we were all served together. The food was varied and delicious, although I could have had my Haggis Fritters as a main, they were that big!The cake was brought out to the table to an unsuspecting Papa and all the waiting staff gathered round to sing Happy Birthday. What a very special evening for a very special man! Cannot wait to back the next time I'm home from Australia.

Had dinner at Palomino Restaurant as a Birthday treat with my husband, after waiting 25minutes for my dinner I had to call the server over to enquire when I can expect it, she came back almost immediately with it, it was a poor display of food very dry to say the least, looked as though it was put on a hotplate and forgotten about, didn't want to make a fuss at the time but would have mentioned to the server had I been asked if the meal was ok, but was never asked , we both left after that, a very disappointing evening. I did email the restaurant the next day telling them of my disappointment, that was 2 weeks ago, there has been no reply, won't be back.

Visited for Saturday lunch - staff were very attentive on arrival and we got a table for two without reserving in advance. The restaurant (Palominos) was quite busy, however we ordered minestrone soup to start as we are both vegetarian - unfortunately one of us was served a beef broth - this was replaced with the correct order however with a minimal apology only. The accompanying sandwich was rather uninspiring - grated cheese in brown bread; would have expected a better standard of presentation from such a nice place. Overall, a lot of staff on duty, however this did not ensure accuracy or attention to detail and no response from management about not adhering to dietary requirements which were declared when ordering.

Really disappointed by food - lasagne was dry and obviously left too long under grill. Tiramisu was a travesty - tasteless and topped by thick almost impenetrable layer of cream. Yeuch! However, this is a classy venue and watching the horses is interesting especially when you wait as long as we did to be served. Didn't help that I was frozen too. A shame, but we will give them another chance, if only for the horses!

This place just grows and grows in luxury and is such a great place to eat and meet, or even do some ativity.

I was attending an engagement party and all the rooms here were booked so I had to book a nearby hotel and travel there by taxi. The place is nice, staff appeared to be a bit sparse on the ground but helpful. Decided to leave and asked the staff to call a taxi for us. Now bear in mind, this place is set in its own grounds and a car or taxi is vital for accessing it. I was REALLY surprised to find they have no arrangements in place with local companies to prioritise calls from the centre. Now this is a big place with lots of customers - there was a wedding at the same time and the normal restaurant / bar.We managed to get a number for a local company and ordered one. 2 hours (yes 2 hours) later we managed to get one leaving significant number of people still waiting for theirs. Could the staff do anything - no, not on the night. Apparently they have been unable to negotiate anything. Not a good state of affairs - there is an issue here and the centre needs to address it. I will not be going back to this location and I would strongly recommend that it be avoided until they resolve it. Pity, could be a great place.

Been here many times as we live just a few miles away. Food ok the haddock and chips always fery fresh.. Even when busy the staff are always friendly and smiling. A great plac Etonian just drop in for a quick meal

Once again our experience was an excellent one. Excellent food and wonderfully attentive and friendly staff. We'll be back soon!

Stayed at the new hotel on Saturday night. Room was spotless, very modern with a super comfy bed. My husband and I booked in for massages which were heavenly! We had both lunch and dinner at Palominos and the food and service was exceptional. We will definitely be returning.... Special thanks to our lovely receptionist at the hotel who was really welcoming. :)

Have visited several times for business lunches most recently the week before Christmas. An impressive set up and the restaurant has a nice setting and atmosphere. The menu offers a wide choice of "pub grub" and the quality is ok but unexciting. However the service has been progressively deteriorating over recent visits and on the last visit was dreadful, we only ordered main courses but waited over an hour for our food to turn up, with dry glasses. I would be reluctant to return.

My family have been regular visitors to Ingliston since it opened and have always been pleased with the standard of food and service. The menu always catered for everyone's taste and for this reason we have held a number of family get togethers over the years here to celebrate special birthdays and anniversaries. We visited again a few weeks ago and were really disappointed. Our table was not ready when we arrived and we had a 15 minute wait (this could be forgiven on a bust Saturday night!). They could have given us menus whilst we waited, but didn't. It took them a further 15-20 minutes to take our order and then we had a 30 minute wait for our starters which were basically a mixture of pate and soup (easily served). The worst thing really is the dramatic change to the menu, which is now essentially Italian and offers little scope for anything else. My husband had the Cajun chicken which was horrendously overseasoned, the pizza's are soggy and gone are even the curries and scottish stalwarts like the chicken balmoral etc. We were extremely disappointed and regretfully wonder if we'll make the effort to return!

When the equestrian centre opened at first, the great attraction was that you you could have your meal while watching some fine horses being exercised or in competition. One then could not say much about the food other than it was uninspiring but adequate. Over the last year I was told by a waiter that a new chef had taken over, and the menu now is principally Italian themed, with some favourite "Scottish" dishes still available. Last Friday (Nov.2, 2012) I arrived there around 7.00pm (solo) to find that Palominos was very full, as there had been an important equestrian 2 day competition, which had just finished. I asked if I had any chance of a table, and contrary to expectations, was given one right beside the bar. I was quickly attended to with my drink and my dinner order by various smiling and attentive young waitresses. I ordered minestrone soup ( delicious ) and fish and chips ( good ) but the accompanying side-salad was limp and distressed. With one Coca-cola, my bill came to around £13.50, was was reasonable. I will return there again, but not when it coincides with a large equestrian event.

Had the misfortune to eat there last night... food was awful and limited pub grub.The only thing that was good were the staff who were friendly and chatty, apart from that i would give this a miss.You have all walks of life eating here, last night we had families, team of drunken rowdy guys (and one lady) and the OAP's and Shell suited Chelsea & Dwayne out for a run in their A3 who stopped in for a hamburger ??

Attended a wedding reception lately. Location was great and the views were spectacular. Drinks were expensive - thankfully it was mid-week and we had the car with us and so one of us didn't drink or it could have been a costly night.

Last night my wife and myself enjoyed a great meal whilst celebrating the 80th birthday of a close friend. We were ushered into a private room where the friendly staff were most attentive for the entire evening. The meal provided was of excellent quality and a wide choice was available. All of the other guests also appeared to enjoy their meal. I was impressed by the general layout of the restaurant and surrounding facilities. The main restaurant was very busy for a Monday evening.Overall I was most impressed by the service and facilities on offer and look forward to a return visit.

We were recommended to visit here and now are back for a second time. We asked got a table by the window and can see the horses in the equestrian ring outside. Nice selection of of food tasty and good value

It was with some trepidation i went to palominos last night after reading some of the reviews on this site.i had been given a gift voucher so that is the only reason i was there.I booked in advance and arrived 20 mins early, was seated right away and within 2 minutes we were offered drinks along with the menu.From that point the service only got better.I am annoyed that i didn,t note the young lady,s name who attended our table.young lady with dark hair and a ponytail if management are reading this,she was first class.The food was good ,the service was excellent and to all you people who are complaining about this place .get a life.

Lovely relaxed environment. Staff friendly and helpful. Expect it to be busy. Great if you like horses. Good food and excellent parking. This is not any ordinary eqestrian centre
