We had previously stopped off here for lunch many years ago when it was operating as Glenwhisk Café & Bistro and had fond memories of the attractive interior which featured nice furnishings and paintings by local artists on the walls for sale. The food was “home made” with a good selection of dishes and they had a superb display of home bakes, all very reasonably priced. There was a good ambiance about the place. What we experienced this time around was a complete contrast. The furnishings were basic and an area which had previously contained a couple of comfortable settees now resembled the furniture section of a charity shop with a large collection of unmatched old looking settees packed together side-by-side. The tables had a lonely potted plant for decoration. The other two customers were just leaving. The menu was fairly limited however since it was possibly the only place in town to have food we kept it simple by both ordering a ham & cheese toasty and a couple of Americano coffees. The toasties were duly delivered on a side plate with no garnish whatsoever, together with mugs of coffee. We don’t know if it was due to the cooking method (perhaps deep fried?) or the fat content of the cheese being high, however the toasties were literally dripping with grease. I could almost feel it blocking my arteries with each bite. My wife persevered and finished hers with a struggle but I had to give up and actually leave a piece of the small offering on the plate, I think a first for me as regards having a toastie for lunch. The sad looking tray bake selection on display was not tempting so we decided to pay the bill and depart. The final blow was that our lunch surprisingly cost £21 for something of a disaster. By comparison had we visited Jinty B’s Tearoom in nearby Thornhill, toasties served with a salad garnish and coleslaw and a couple of large coffees would have set us back £13.90 and more importantly would not have given us indigestion for several hours afterwards. I don’t wish to be unkind however this takes the award of our poorest ever café experience, astonishingly in the same venue which once housed a very good one.

Annandale Water 16 A74 Junction
This now offers a breakfast menu and has changed names. I ordered the traditional breakfast which came with mushroom, beans, bacon, sausage and a runny egg. Really good quality with a lovely taste, the server was very friendly for 7.30am. Good value and freshly cooked, very pleasant.

Cemetery Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme ST5 6SH EnglandI have never been more disappointed with a service before in my life. Ordered a breakfast to go which already was £7.50. would of thought there would be some discount as not eating in... Asked if I could swap the toast for an oatcake... No. So paid for an oatcake as well... Total was now £10... Taking the Mick charging that much for a single oatcake and then they didn't include my toast ?? Take a look at the picture here for £10 I couldnt even get a sausage? One mushroom? I am actually outraged!! Labeled traditional breakfast but no sausage or tomato, if traditional and at £7.50 no black pudding? No toast... If you want to rip off customers then you succeeded. Well and truly been had off and does it matter at this point taste was terrible? Wasn't even given the opportunity to be disappointed by the sausage and other missing bits. Looks like chef grabbed the oatcake in a rage and scrunched it up and threw it on there, can only laugh. I feel robbed, what do you think? Silverdale needs a breakfast shop, don't make the same mistake as me and go here.

Glasgow Road Cuckoo Bridge Drive, Dumfries DG2 8BF ScotlandI used to like visiting here but it is going downhill fast.The man on the counter was the most miserable person i have ever seen,he didn't smile once and was quite abrupt in his manner.This could have been due to him being alone at the counter doing everything whilst 3 staff members worked the drive thru.Service was really painfully slow even when another employee started helping.The entire restaurant was filthy,no tables were being cleaned and there was rubbish all over the floor.I probably won't return to this branch.

12 George StreetDidn't like the fact there was a small dog in the bar. Not that I don't like dogs I just thought they shouldn't ve allowed in there on a busy Saturday night when the misc was blaring and people were drunk. The poor little dog looked terrified and I had to leave because it was upsetting me. My dog would of been scared too. Its no place for a little dog when people are pissed, dancing, shouting ect it's just not fair on them at all

Gretna Service Area Welcome Break Gretna Green Services A74m, Jct 21/22, GretnaPassed 4 or 5 services stations that were all bk ones, didn't want that. We ended up stopping at gretna services as my partner was getting tired. Was delighted to see chopstix there. I had the small box with a half and half rice and noodles base topped with sweet and sour chicken, my partner had the large box with half and half but the large box comes with 2 toppings. He had Thai green curry and a potato dish ( he can't remember what it was ) Both were absolutely delicious and piping hot. Chicken was juicy and succulent. The small box looks quite small but there's plenty in it. I managed half and brought the rest home for tea. Will definitely be back
