Fanta drinks appeared to be diluted, very much weaker than that bought at supermarket. Small portions of food. Not value for money. Chicken water drenched.

We decided to order an early lunch today from Just Eat. We ordered some carvery’s which were prepared by Shannon. Both boxes had a great selection of the vegetables and all looked really fresh and tasted even better.

Got a steak for my lunch yesterday and it was cooked to perfection just how I like it. I asked the manager how it was cooked and they have a chargrill which just made it taste even better.Great service from all who were working can see why this place is as popular as it is

Me and my wife were here to celebrate our 24th anniversary and my first visit to Scotland , my wife ordered the steak and ale pie , which was very good and I ordered the chicken sandwich also good. Very friendly and attentive staff , great place to chat and chill, music not loud so you can hear yourself think. Decor is cozy and quiet. We will be back while we stay here , first pub and meal in Scotland , love it , if you come here to complain about anything then find somewhere else , this place fulfilled the needs more than adequately.

We stopped off here on our way home for something to eat. We were asked by the manageress where we would like to sit then we ordered for the extensive menu. I ordered our meals and soft drinks from a gentleman at the bar who couldn't have been more pleasant and efficient. He explained that the vegetarian dish would be approximately 15 minutes and brought our coffee and soft drinks and water to the table. Our food was very tasty and nutritious and very reasonably priced for what we got and the atmosphere in the place was nice and friendly. The facilities were clean and tidy as well so all in all my wife and I were delighted at our visit. All the staff were courteous and attentive, well done to them all.

I must say the team working did a fantastic job and kept up good spirits even though they must have been under a lot of stress as they seemed to be very short staffed. We all had the carvery and it was delicious, very generous meat portions and such good value for money. Would recommend!

We went to Elginhaugh farm tonight. But we were not happy about the receptionist treat us. I booked 6:00 pm and my friend booked at 6:15 pm. We asked if we can be at the same table. The arrogant lady receptionist did not even welcome us and with and intiimidating look. And she even answer NO. We ask if we can seat here and she said No as we were big party. But as we can see there’s lot of tables available that can accommodate us. Until we finished our dinner there’s still lots of table available. Thank you for the waiters who are very accommodating.

I volunteer here once a week but also go to the Wednesday community lunch where a set 3 course meal is served at 12.30. Open to all, you pay by donation but there is no obligation. Lentil soup with sourdough bread, vegetarian lasagne with garlic toast , coffee and chocolate hazelnut cake was yesterday's delicious meal. There's a friendly atmosphere and willing service. The Storehouse also supports several young vulnerable adults who help to serve and to clear tables - always with a smile. I feel really lucky and proud to have the Storehouse in my town. I hesitated to write this review because I volunteer in the shop but I am also a café customer.

Inexplicably just stopped being a restaurant. Can't find anything about it online. Open but for what purpose I don't know. Now the guests at the associated premier inn next door have nowhere to eat. We were regulars and it was great to have somewhere affordable and reliable to get a meal. We are owed an explanation.

There have been many changes since we last visited Whitmuir pre-pandemic. The farm food shop has gone and has been replaced by Junkshop Antiques (which used to operate from smaller premises on the site); The Dancing Light gallery apparently moved online some time ago and the vacant unit they previously occupied was due to be re-launched as a (Christmas) shop when we were there in November 2022. The café looks the same as before (minus the gallery’s paintings) but opened again under new ownership in September 2022 and now trades simply as Whitmuir Cafe. I’m glad to see the log burner remains in place as it is needed to try to keep this cavernous place warm at this time of year. Quercus Garden Plants still operate on the site however when we visited garden plants were not something we were looking to explore. At the time of our lunch visit there was a slow, steady flow of customers but these are large premises to fill so it lacked atmosphere. The menu choice is modest and we ordered up their Toastie of the Day, which was ham and cheese, served with house salad and dressing £6.95). My wife’s request to replace the sourdough bread with brown bread was met. I ordered a Bagel with chicken & lemon mayonnaise, also served with house salad and dressing (£6.25). We both enjoyed our lunch - the chicken was plentiful and tasty with the mayo, the toastie filling good quality and we both rated the house salad and dressing very highly. The only criticism was that the cutlery knives seemed blunt. The coffee we had along with the food was very good - Flat white (£2.95) and Americano (£2.60) - so we ordered another to go along with the home bakes both of which happened to be gluten free. My wife requested the smaller of the large looking slices of Treacle and Lemon tart on display, which turned out to be wise since she was unable to finish it; and I had an Almond slice which I too was unable to finish. Verdict on the cakes was “okay” however we have only rarely found a gluten free cake which we could say we really enjoyed so that is probably just our taste. Overall cost of lunch was just over £29 which we thought was good value. Staff were friendly and efficient. It’s early days for the revised format and not as attractive an overall destination for us however we wish them well. Check opening hours if travelling - seems to be Wednesday to Sunday, 10.00am until 4.00pm at present.
