Glamis Castle Restaurant in Angus

Well cooked and plentiful food with fresh veg to satisfy wet and hungry archaeologists on a study tour. We had a private area and the service was excellent ; thank you Margaret ! We had preordered but the service was excellent without being rushed .

Booked afternoon tea here. Wow. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food was fantastic - both quantity and quality! Absolutely amazing!!

A beautiful decorative restaurant, with family portraits displayed on the walls to enhance the experience. Also, a range of drinks and food is provided for visitors.

I booked this for Mothers Day. 3 course set menu for 3. We have been twice before for this and the food was excellent. However, we were sadly disappointed yesterday. Firstly, the kitchen restaurant itself was so cold. We stood for some time waiting to be attended too. We predicted we would be given the table closest to the door and we were correct..this is the second time we've had to request to move tables because its freezing. Most people were eating their meals with their coats on. It seems that a couple of large parties of tourists arrived around the same time we did and the restaurant filled up very quickly. There seemed to be too little staff for the amount of customers. They are all very pleasant but they looked rushed off their feet. The booking was made several weeks in advance for a reasonable 1:30 lunch time and yet not all the menu choices were available. The lentil broth was tasteless. Actually the worst I think I've ever had sadly. But we were so cold we ate it for warmth! My Mum had a prawn salad. Nice prawns but the dressing was very minimal. Second course was roast beef dinner. Tasty enough with a nice gravy but the beef was overcooked and tough as were the yorkshire puddings. The veg was again-tasteless. The best bit was pudding. The log burner went off half way through and the poor staff had no time to re-fill it so the room just grew colder and colder. Its such a beautiful setting. The drive up to the castle is so nice. In summer its stunning. But I'm afraid to say we won't be rushing back for food any time soon.

the menu has so many things to offer to vegetarians, was quite a surprise and everything we ordered tasted good the service was quick too even though they were pretty busy its nice to have a cafe serving good food so one doesnt have to drive around looking for a place to eat. excellent .... well done and keep it up

I’d give this place a 1 star if it was not for the fact that the coffee and scone were good. However the attitude of the young man, short dark hair and glasses, to a foreign person was shameful. I think the person was German. He was doing his best to order food and drink. But the man behind the counter gave him no time, muttered and mumbled, and basically did nothing to help this person out in understanding what was being said. A shocking reflection in how we, in this country, can sometimes treat our visitors. I did try to chat cleanly to the visitor myself, hoping that this might help. In other words interpret the staff members mumbles.

Had a meal here while visiting Glamis Castle. Lovely staff and great food. We were able to eat outside as we had a dog with us.

Since we had toured the castle before we decided to have tea and scones while we waited for the rest of our extended family. If you have never tasted scones - these are the best ever. We did not feel rushed and the service was great and everything was clean and organized.

We enjoyed the soup and sandwiches. Friendly staff and pleasant dining room space with easy access to castle and gardens.

We had the perfect light lunch here - for less than £10 each we had a bowl of Cullen skink and Aberdeen Angus beef slices with salad on granary bread - delicious

The typical Scottish conundrum. I have recently visited a number of good owner run eating places in Scotland. All worth 5*. So what do you do when you find somewhere better ? For me the short answer would be 6 stars. So often, especially north of the Antonine Wall, one tends to find owner run eating places as being 5*. Then you come across somewhere better. Hence the Scottish Conundrum. First we did our typical ‘Buy a guide book’, then go for a coffee to read it before going round the property. It was just as it should be. Ok. A tour of the Castle, then lunch. I am a sucker for something local. So went for the Glamis Birdie. A shortcrust pastry parcel of venison, black paper and cranberry, with thyme gravy. Delicious. Actually the gravy was in a small handle less jug, which was too hot to hold. Nevertheless really enjoyable. My wife had a courgette soup. Again very tasty. In passing I would also say the staff were great, and the venue interesting.

We had coffee & cake after our visit to castle. Clean, welcoming, nice to see parts of original kitchen still there. Coffee nice & hot. Cake very tasty & fresh.

We had a lovely lunch here after visiting the castle and grounds. Service was a bit slow but lovely and the food was nice. Prices were also reasonable.

Only had coffee which was fine but great to see all the old copper pans on display. Some oven range to admire as well.

Nous n'avons pas particulièrement apprécié cette cafétéria... Pour avoir fait celle du château d'Edinburgh et de Stirling, celle de Glamis nous a déçu. Les prix sont assez élevé, pas de réduction possible avec l'explorer pass ou le ticket d'entrée. La nourriture est franchement moyenne et pas faite maison (nous avons retrouvé un bout de sachet plastique dans les gnocchis, surement du à l'emballage). Nous n'y retournerons pas... Dommage car la visite était très intéressante, on fini donc sur une note moyenne...

In a castle room with high ceilings and friendly staff, we had a really good cream tea. Staff advised us to visit gardens while it was dry and sure enough as soon as we had finished our garden visit the heavens opened, so good advice.

Lovely tearoom and restaurant in Glamis Castle. In what was once the kitchens of the castle, there is now a tearoom and restaurant. Many of the original features of the old kitchen have been retained, along with many of the old artefacts which are on display. Efficient, helpful staff. Good selection of teas and coffees. Great sandwiches, cakes, scones, lots and lots of temptation. Thoroughly recommend.

WOW WOW WOW - we pre-booked Afternoon Tea at Glamis today and it was amazing - the staff we very attentive, polite & very pleasant - they gave us just the correct amount of time before bringing out cakes and happy to provide us with extra tea - we had a lovely chat with the manager and praised not only the food that had been served but also her staff & the icing on the cake (so to say) was that anything we could not eat was popped into a box for us to take home........Diet starts Monday!!

Eating in the atmospheric old room which houses the cafe/restaurant is lovely. A good selection of snacks and hot food. We opted for the home made soup with chunky bread and it was very nice.Reasonable pricing.

Freundlicher Service und die Gericht und der Kaffee sind in Ordnung. Nach dem Rundgang ganz angenehm.

Um espaço muito bonito e confortável para uma refeição ligeira após visitar o castelo de Glamis. Os preços não são caros e é possível fazer uma refeição económica - uma sopa com uma fatia de pão com manteiga custa 5 libras.Os bolos também são agradáveis.

The food and staff are always very nice but the new £2 parking charge for Cafe visitors is a bit much for a few stones scattered on a grassy area? Is the Castle trying to deter local trade? I spent nearly £50 on lunch and often enjoy taking our visitors there for food! But will not be making as many regular visits now. So come on Earl of Strathmore please drop these silly charges! They do not charge at the Strathmore Arms outside your gates!

A restaurant and Tea Room set in the original castle kitchen. We had Tea and Scones on this visit. On offer is a very wide range of light meals. Very friendly staff, reasonable prices and something for everyone. Highly recommended.

After an excellent castle tour, we lunched on our own in the convenient attached cafe. It served a marvelous Caesar salad, with a generous portion of grilled chicken. I also had a bite of crumbly but tasty lemon pound cake. Good choice.

The Castle's grand kitchen is now its restaurant... only came for tea but good lunch menu. Had the most unbelievable scone - huge and exceptionally tasty - plaudits from all the family

A nice place to stop after the tour to enjoy a cup of tea and a cake. Highly recommend the Victoria sponge, though my friend had the Millionaire's shortbread. Both servings were substantial and one cannot complain about being unsatisfied. Nice tea and hot chocholate.

Limited menu which needs a couple more vegetarian options. No platters available on the day we visited. We chose a burger for £10, which was quite pleasant but served with 5 potato wedge ‘chips’ which needed a little longer cooking... and my soup - which I’ve moaned about in my main review - was lacking in flavour, could have been thicker and most definitely could have been twice the size (and even then probably wouldn’t have justified the £7 price tag!). Photo with my hand alongside for scale!

Diner apres la visite du château.

What we got didn't match the picture on the menu.

After a visit to the grounds of the castle we went here for a bite to eat. It was effectively a late lunch, so a vast amount of food was not needed. Just as well.

We visited Glamis Castle Restaurant with my elderly in laws( 94 & 95 years) We had a delicious lunch( the Cullen Skink and Carrot Cake were 5star!)

Visited the castle with friends, we decided to have a drink before leaving. The scones in the restaurant were fantastic, the best ever! Staff were very pleasant too.

Had a nice lunch at the Castle - Food nothing fancy but nicely prepared and good quality - Only down side was put in an annex room next to the kitchen restaurant which had a much better ambiance- where our room was a bit cold and austere- But to be fair it is Castle hundreds of years old

We had morning coffee, a tour round the castle and then lunch. It was an extremely busy service but food arrived quickly and was very enjoyable.

Received an itison gift voucher. Prompt service with sour dough toast first, followed by lasagne and beef dish. Both excellent. The scones and cakes were delicious served along with tea or coffee. Would recommend. Lovely surroundings on a summers day.

We visited Glamis Castle late on a May afternoon. Our first stop was at the castle restaurant for a drink and a quick bite to eat before viewing the grounds.

Food from the restaurant is amazing as is the customer service from the staff. Ham Hock Mac N Cheese was delicious. Layout is excellent and a real sense of history around you while eating. Prices reasonable. Will definitely be back.

My husband and I recently visited Glamis Castle when holidaying in Scotland, we found the tour of the house very good and informative, but we were very disappointed with our lunch. I had soup and bread price £5 + and when it arrived it was thin and watery and with it half a slice of cheap sliced bread. Lessons could be learned from Alnwick Castle and places in York probably similar prices but delicious soup and large cheese scones rather than bread. Even the place we ate in in Moffat served delicious soup with a slice and a half of good chunky bread and was a £1 cheaper. Also my husband asked for a slice of coffee cake and the girl brought something completely different she then went off brought back another slice of cake not coffee cake but by this time he had lost the will to live so accepted it. Other visitors were waiting half an hour or more for food ordered. I certainly will not be recommending anyone to eat in the Glamis Castle café.

A small group of us visited to see the castle and enjoyed a light lunch prior to our tour. There are nice options and the service was very nice.

After enjoying the castle tour we came in for lunch and were not disappointed . The table and seating are clean and tidy with an option to eat outside in good weather . We took the soup option, 2 of us had the tomato and red pepper soup which was very nice while we had the Cullen Skink absolutely superb flavour with warm freshly baked bread .We liked the look of the main menu and will try it next time . The staff were friendly and helpful

After our tour of the castle, we had time for a quick bite, so my wife and I split the Chicken Club sandwich. The portion was huge and the sandwich tasted great. It was fresh with a nice accompaniment of veggies, a small side salad and coleslaw. The service was a bit sporadic as the restaurant was rather busy with the limited help that were working.

Had to send my granddaughters meal back as it was bland macaroni with no cheese.staff trued it and agreed. Cakes were stale and bland. Had to keep asking for cutlery napkins and condiments service was apauling. Wouldn't recommend and definetly wouldn't be back

Se visitate il castello vi consiglio di fare una tappa nel ristorante. Con cinque sterline potrete gustarvi una buonissima zuppa del giorno.

We were the first visitors to order lunch at the restaurant, and we had to wait rather a long time. I had a hunch when my lunch was delivered that the bread was not gluten free as requested, and indeed that was the case. However, the fish platter was delicious and the restaurant had a very pleasant ambience.

We were slightly confused when we walked in as to whether it was just a tearoom or a Restaurant but the Menu for cooked food was high up behind the counter . We ordered & sat down with our drinks & were soon served . The food was excellent Braised beef with veg & potatoes & Venison & Haggis pie . Very generous portions . Nice friendly service . We went back for cake & coffee later which was equally good . The seating is fairly basic but that was made up by the food .

The Victorian Kitchen Restaurant seems to be split into two, one half which I think is for reservations and a set 3 course lunch and then a self serviced cafe area with hot food, cakes and drinks etc.

This a really wonderful place to visit and eat in . Do the castle ,walk in the grounds then feast in the restaurant for terrific food and great hospitality ,service and comfort without spending an absolute fortune. Staff are so well trained ,friendly but highly professional- food is really lovely and quite a lot of it is local.

Had an Itison voucher must say meal was not as good as previous Itison deal toast was not sourdough bread no braised beef tray bakes were not so good last time we had clotted cream and home made jam with scones supposed to have meringues did not have

Ho mangiato qui insieme a tutti quelli che hanno fatto il tour dei castelli scozzesi con me. Io ho scelto un hamburger con patate e insalata. Il panino era buono nel complesso, ma il pane non era stato arrostito precedentemente e il pezzo sotto era freddo, quello sopra era caldo grazie alla carne. L'insalata d'accompagnamento era buona e fresca e le carote erano accompagnate da una salina all'aglio. Ho scelto l'offerta che con 3 sterline in più mi dava diritto anche ad una birra. Ho scelto la st. Andrew's.

Booked high tea for myself and hubby

My wife and I had a very pleasant day visiting Glamis Castle such a beautiful place.

Las chicas estresadas y la comida quemada,

For my birthday in December, I received a voucher for high tea for 2 at Glamis Castle from Itison. It couldn’t be used until after April so after speaking to my daughter, I emailed to book. I received an email back the next day with a time on the date we asked for.

very disappointed in the afternoon tea today Sunday 28th April 2019, we had been on previously to the caste for afternoon tea and found it to be of a very high standard and also the service excellent, but after today NO! One small bit of sausage roll, followed by 2 triangles of sandwiches, must say the cakes were good thou, not up to the same level that we used to get from the castle.

The salmon salad had a generous portion of salmon on it and was tasty. DH had the sponge cake and thought it was okay.

Después de visitar el castillo, intentamos tomar un sándwich. Eran las 16:04 horas y la señorita nos dijo que no podían servirnos nada, ni siquiera un sándwich frío, porque la cocina cerraba a las 16:00 horas. ¡Por 4 minutos se negaron a servirnos! Eso sí, mientras hablábamos con ella vimos como otra camarera sacaba dos platos calientes de la cocina. El castillo es precioso pero en el restaurante no saben lo que es el servicio al cliente.

My family and I had a lovely high tea at Glamis Castle this afternoon with fantastic food and amazing service. My daughter has multiple food allergies and we found the staff to be very helpful and managed to cater and more importantly include my daughter in our visit. Many thanks especially to Margaret who was very attentive and helped make sure my daughter had something safe to eat. We didn't visit the castle itself, but can not recommend the restaurant more.

We went here for high tea with a itson voucher . I ordered braised beef my wife order lasagna both were very good. The waitress then appeared with a cake stand with cakes and scones . Staff were very polite and courteous. Really enjoyable and would go again.

Lovely "high tea".Extensive menu choice & very good presentation.Portions were generous & table-service attentive,friendly & informative. Dining room was in original castle kitchens-very "atmospheric" which adds to overall experience

Took advantage of the Itison deal for high tea, it was OK - probably wouldn't go back. Definitely not 5* dining as advertised. Also the restaurant was freezing and we had to keep our coats on throughout our meal. We both got steak pie, which was OK, but came with the tiniest, thin slice of pastry. Definitely not a 'pie'. Portions were also tiny - one sprig of broccoli. Was followed by cakes and scones which were nice but again, definitely not 5* as advertised. The scones weren't even warm as you'd usually get with high tea. Service was good and the setting was nice, albeit cold. But ultimately the food let it down. Would be better refraining from calling themselves 5* to avoid disappointment.

Highly recommend the hight tea and Castle tour. Purchased the high tea on itison for £16 for 2 people and it was well worth the money. Food was delicious and staff were very friendly.

Been here a few times as its local and the food has always been great, it's a we bit expensive but your paying for the location and atmosphere ( the old castle kitchen). Now has a new manager and she is doing a smashing job better selection and service. There will be some difference next season so looking forward to some new things

We took advantage of the Itison voucher which was great value for high tea. A lovely setting with really nice waitresses serving us. Great to get proper filter coffee & plenty of it.

My wife and I and two friends had high tea. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly member of staff who gave us a choice of table.

Was here this afternoon for high tea with one of my besties. The setting is amazing. The meal was just spot on. Portion size just right and the food was great. Staff were very efficient and we didn’t have to wait long for our delicious steak pie. Was here with an Itison voucher but would willingly go back at full price. Well done Glamis Castle restaurant.

We had amazing high tea. All our choices were delicious- steak pie, fish pie and lasagne. Service was very good and staff friendly.

My wife and I went for High Tea which was a main dish with tea, scones and cakes. Several main dishes were available and my wife chose the fish pie while I had the gammon steak. Very tasty main. We had a great pot of tea with the scones and cakes. Jam and clotted cream with the scones then some cakes. We were asked if we wanted more tea but we were full and elected to take the 2 untouched cakes home with us.

We went for high tea and cannot fault the service . The menu is limited but they do you you proud with scones cakes and toast. My big complaint is about the lack of light to and from the parking and the restaurant. There were some lights that came on when we passed them but they did not stay on long enough . I saw a lot of older people in the restaurant and thought this was an accident waiting to happen. Having got back to our car once again lack of light made it difficult to see the way out . The signposts should be lit up .Go in the summer or for lunch and it will be fine .

Absolutely great High Tea yesterdAy. Quality of meal and service top class.

We visited on a wet and windy Friday at 3.30pm to sample the High Tea offering.Wow!!

A great meal of home made soup and breads. Followed by delicious Main course and coffee, cakes to die for, all on the site where Macbeth did the wicked deed. The staff were wonderful and the place evocative and historic.

The dining hall is large and open with a fireplace and banquet hall style tables. The soup was delicious and the ladies taking orders and preparing the food were cordial and efficient. We were there twice in recent months with tour groups and it's a perfect place to plan a lunch stop in a day of touring.

We went for a family lunch, seven of us and we had various different meals between us, and they were all really very good. I had the Cullen skink which was very tasty but the portion was very small and over priced but the sticky toffee pudding made up for it. Prices are a bit high but if you are only going once a year or so then it`s not so bad. The service was good and our waitress was very pleasant and chatty. We would definitely go back again sometime.

Il locale è molto bello e si sposa bene con lo stile del castello. Il servizio e il cibo sono stati di scarsa qualità.

Super restaurant in a super castle. Recommended. The old Victorian kitchen of gloms castle made into a very nice and friendly restaurant. Check it out

We enjoyed a lovely home made scone and jam after we had the tour of Glamis castle. Really nice. You could get meals but we were going out for dinner so just had tea and scones

We went as a family for lunch. The restaurant was the only available food outlet at the castle that was open. Although the menu offers a variety of sandwiches and a few hot meals we struggled to find things that we could all eat.

The food is all prepared from local suppliers. I had the Club Sandwich with a salad, coleslaw and chips. Everything was amazing! Very conveniently situated in Glamis Castle. It was the cherry on top of an excellent tour !

El castillo es espectacular y comer o cenar en un castillo siempre es fantástico .

The sandwich's and cake were lovely, but like similar places, it was quite expensive. £12.40 for a cheese sandwich, piece of cake, cup of tea and a can of coke. In hindsight we should have done the usual and taken our own food.

Pranzo con ragazzi. Le insalate ed i panini sono molto buoni. Io ho preso un panino con uvetta ottimo ed anche i dolcetti sono buoni. Prezzi nella media

Having visited the castle before and having enjoyed it, we decided to visit the grounds and gardens with our toddler. Enjoyed the walk around the garden and the adventure playground. However, we arrived just before 12 (as we planned) so we could get some food after quite a long journey. We went to the restaurant - there was nothing to suggest this could be a problem. We had just settled our son in a high chair when we were told there was a function on so we could only sit at one table - right in the middle of the room and so also in the middle of whatever function was coming. We were offered the takeaway facilities in the hub which was not quite what we were looking for! We wanted to sit inside and enjoy our lunch so moved tables. We were not offered any help or any menus and all the staff quickly disappeared to sort out the function. Eventually, we went to the hub where there were only 3 sandwiches (all the same) available. The staff in there were much more helpful and offered to get our son a sandwich made. No high chair available and all in all a pretty poor experience. Thank you to the lovely staff in the hub for rescuing us and getting my son something he could actually eat. But we were made to feel most unwelcome in the restaurant as clearly only the function was good enough despite no notices to suggest this. Ruined what was otherwise a good visit.

Visited restaurant and grounds as part of my daughters birthday. Had pre booked afternoon tea for 3. We were seated quickly and food arrived promptly. Super selection of cakes, sandwiches and scones washed down nicely with a bottle of fizz. Lots of food left over which the staff kindly boxed for us. Staff were very attentive. Would definitely

A lot of wasps and a long queue but the sandwiches were good. I would suggest to add some waiters and better train them for the summer extra visitors.

Having had a fantastic, entertaining tour of the castle we finished at kitchens which were conveniently the tearooms. With about 6 people in the queue in front of us we decided to stay and have tea and cake. My first issue was how slow it took to be served, (30 minutes). There was no shortage of staff but only one person on the till taking orders, preparing hot drinks and taking payment, hence the length of time it took to be served. My second issue was with the cakes. On the chalkboard it advertised cakes but in the display cabinet apart from millionaires shortbread & scones the only cake was a vegan poppy seed one. I asked if they had any other cakes and was shown behind the counter 2 gorgeous sandwich cakes but was told that they were not for sale yet until the cake in the display cabinet had gone.I explained that i was not vegan and didn't like poppy seed cake so could we please have 4 slices of the other cake. I was told "no", not until the other cake in the display cabinet had gone. Having made the point that if we had the vegan cake what would be served to a vegan should they come into the tearoom the girl just shrugged and said again she could not sell me the other cake.

£1.65 for a small plastic a bottle of water, come on...!!! As the title said, the caf is totally overpriced for very average good. Disappointing to say the least.

It’s quite pricey for what you get – a baked potato and soft drink is £8.80, but unless you’ve bought a picnic, you’re a bit stuck for lunch. The restaurant has refectory tables for tour groups plus individual tables for smaller parties. There are also some picnic style tables outside. If you just fancy a drink, pre-packaged sandwich or ice cream, you can buy that at the hub in the courtyard.

We had coffee and scones at the castle restaurant in late June 2018. After touring Scotland’s restaurants for three weeks sampling scones at a dozen restaurants, I can honestly state that Glamis scones were among the very best: moist, flavorful, decent size and kept us energized while walking the grounds.

Most staff very young and inexperienced. Food is average and overpriced. I had a full cup of steaming coffee on my table and a young lady waitress tried to take it away, assuming I was finished with it. Just very young and inexperienced staff, presumably employed so they can be paid little.

After completing our guided tour of the castle we stopped off for a cold drink & slice of cake. We had 4 cans of juice, 2 plain scones with butter & jam, a slice of Victoria sponge & a lemon muffin, which I found expensive at £23. It was disappointing to say the least, all the cakes were so dry they were almost inedible, the 2 scones were only just edible due to the butter & jam but the other 2 cakes were stale it was busy with a large table of American/Canadian tourists so it may have just been a bad time but it was a very expensive mistake which disappointed on an otherwise fabulous day out.

We were on Itison deal for the castle visit&tour; and a 2- course lunch for two. Taking into account the modest price we paid, I expected a very light lunch and was ready to order extra so that we could have a proper meal. We were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes, the quality of food was also great, same with the choice. I had cullen skink soup and a pheasant burger and my husband went for chicken liver parfait and stewed beef (that was absolutely huge in size ad very tender!), he also additionally ordered toffee pudding as a desert - everything tasted great! If you want something less filling you can opt for a sandwich/wrap as your main.

We had light lunch , various cakes and tea...all very fresh and enjoyable.... very reasonably priced.

Avant de visiter le château, agréable surprise. Restaurant touristique mais pas d’arnaque : une cuisine généreuse, produits frais et bien préparés. Super prix vu le cadre (moins de 8£ le plat)

We phoned in advance and booked a table. When we arrived we found a table reserved for us. The waitress was very cheerful and pleasant and clearly explained the itison menu offer. We both had the Cullen Skink which was excellent (and very filling), followed by the Pheasant burger which neither of us could finish. I can find no fault with the food or service. I would not hesitate to return or recommend a visit to Glamis Castle or restaurant.

We had a lovely Itison lunch here three years ago, and were really looking forward to returning despite an hour + drive. We booked on line as requested, but on arrival no-one greeted us and no tables were reserved. We sat ourselves, and after 10 minutes of no-one approaching us, I found a waitress who brought us the Itison menu.

We visited Glamis Castle restaurant on 9/4/18 and took in a tour of the Castle. This was an Itison voucher for a two course meal for two I received as a birthday gift.

We enjoyed a really delicious two course lunch - starter and main course at the Wild Thyme restaurant. Excellent coffee afterwards. Staff very friendly and efficient.

I suspect the restaurant used to be the old kitchen or servants hall and thus is full of character. A good menu with simple cooking but well presented. Delightful waitress in Hannah.

Excellent meal!! We were on an itison deal our food was piping hot and very tasty. The fruit tart for...

Had a 2 course lunch using an ITISON voucher. Decided to eat here because the restaurant is run by Wild...
