Jocks Bar in Perth & Kinross

Last time I was here the fish and chips was really good. Afraid to say this time my wife had the fish and chips and it was cafe standard at best. I had the mac and cheese and I have to say this was the worst mac and cheese I have ever had in my life. Microwaved with what little sauce there was at the bottom of the bowl. The parmesan was probably fresh about a week ago and been sitting out since then. We won’t be bac. Pity as we are local. Staff (waiter, bar staff and receptionist) were pleasant enough though and can’t fault them at all.

Went for a pre show lunch. Found staff to be slow and seemingly not much interested in serving customers. Sat for quite a while before having to remind staff we were waiting and we were the only customers there at this point. Ordered soup which was very good and tasty but the cheese and haggis toastie I had next was awful. The haggis was cut in slices approx half an inch thick which were cold and seemed uncooked. Really bad.

Great meal and drinks. Had the Brazilian chicken, tacos and nachos with a side of plantain. Service was excellent and even with sending a dish back for being cold, it was handled professionally and still merited a tip.

Food was average at best but the service and experience is so poor! You walk in and no sign advising to wait. No greeting to say, “I’ll be with you in a minute” or “grab a seat and I’ll be over”. So when you do ask “do we just grab a seat”, to avoid standing in the middle of the floor area like a plant, it’s met with a nippy response. Just avoidable. Manager also walked right past us without comment. Place was almost empty and the check to see if they could fit us in, almost made me leave. It never got much busier by the time we left. Only one young waitress with any sign of customer service and deserves to learn the trade from competent people other than the supervisor and manager! Won’t be back as no need

Have stayed here previously and whilst the hotel is tired the food had been good. Sadly not on this occasion however. Called in for lunch and can only think that the chef must have left the building as whilst my starter (Cullen skink)was tasty it was gloopy. My dining partners starter however resembled something else the cheese was so ally conjeelled it resembled a jellyfish which had been dried up and dumped on a pile of sand for weeks. The main courses were just as bad I had fish and chips which arrived as fish and French fries my partners main macaroni cheese was clearly from a packet and did little to impress. We ate as we were hungry but really didn’t enjoy. Then we went to pay. The staff were nowhere to be found I called out a couple of times to no avail as the were too busy chatting. Although we had been seen by the receptionist still no one attended. This hotel is clearly run by staff with little supervision/ training for a larger organisation which is sad as it could be really good. Sad to say I won’t be returning and will choose more wisely next time and probably going to the chippy next time I’m in Kinross

We came last minute to the restaurant and quite latish. They welcomed us with open arms, accommodated all our strange requests, and were able to accommodate the vegans, veggies and meat eaters in the group. The ambience in the place was nice along with the decor, the approach and attitude of the people serving was fabulous. Prices were really good, food selection great and gave us a lovely meal and a superb evening. If you're visiting Kirkcaldy, come and eat here, you won't be disappointed.

We were recommended to go to Jock's Bar for the fish and chips and the fact that they have taken precautions to protect diners from Covid 19. I'll admit, the fish was good but as for the rest- pretty awful!They do have a one-way system in place and hand gel at the door, but we did see customers entering without masks. Our table was small, which meant that when we leaned over to eat we were not within the recommended safe distance. They didn't take contact details for our friends, which I thought was now a requirement.This was the first time we've been in the restaurant since it was refurbished. It had all of the atmosphere and style of a cheap motorway cafe. All in all, it was very disappointing and although we live locally, we will not be returning again.Avoid!

Good food and service. Can recommend the steak pie and the grilled haddock with lemon butter. Also the creme brûlée was delicious. The only negative was I felt the macaroni was a bit bland.

Had a 2 night stay at the hotel so had a few drinks in here and although nice and clean it seems to lack a bit of atmosphere. The table spacing may have added to that but it felt too clinical as we tend to like a more traditional bar.

Food was a total let down during our afternoon visit. The hotel and local brewery are running a partnership of drinks and food on the green outside. Had been for a few drinks recently and it’s a really good venture so on this on this occasion we also decided to have some food. I have eaten in the hotel a few times and it was always enjoyable but was shocked at the food served today. We had assumed at the prices charged that the burgers (£9.95) and hot dogs (£8.95) would have included sides. This would certainly have been the case if we had been eating inside. When I complained to the server about this he confirmed that sides were extra!So for a burger and chips the total cost would have been £11.90!?!The burger/hot dogs we received is something that would have been served from a van but at a fraction of the price. We would not have ordered if we had known this and would have eaten else where locally. There are so many great places to eat in Kinross. They are charging premium prices for budget food. The takeaway food in no way represented the quality or value normally served inside their venue. Shameful rip off.

Stopped in today for an afternoon drink. No draught beer at all, all off due to cleaning? Asked for a bottle of the local brewery beer (literally across the road) and a fresh orange and lemonade to be told there was no fresh orange! Then to be charged £6 for a 330ml bottle of beer and a draught lemonade with orange cordial!! Checked on the brewery website and the bottle of beer from them was £2.29. Daylight robbery... staff were unapologetic and their communication skills were questionable. Would not recommend at all.

Ordered the macaroni and garlic bread with a side of chips. The macaroni was stone cold when served to me and the garlic bread was definitely from frozen. I sent the macaroni back. It was evidently just heated up in the microwave and served to me again, it was absolutely tasteless. A chicken burger was also ordered and was very disappointed. The chicken was dry and stringy. The chips may have well been called frozen fries instead of french fries! Nice staff.

We came as a party to enjoy some lunch and a few drinks in the joint venture between Loch Leven Brewery and the Green Hotel. The drinks and service were fine from the Brewery side, however, the food/service from the Green Hotel was absolutely abysmal. The majority of the food was cold, however half of the orders came with only half the food in cardboard boxes. The Steak pies came without potatoes which we had to ask for (and are still waiting on!) The macaroni was cold. One of the childrens Steak Pies (had no potatoes) so we complained and the second time it came with no pastry. The childrens ice cream never arrived. The sauted potatoes were disgusting, swimming in grease. It was an absolute shambles from start to finish. And it wasn't cheap. £10 for a chicken burger which came with nothing else and I mean nothing else. Apparently the kitchen also can't do chips?! What kitchen can't do them. Well actually it appears the Green Hotel can't do a lot of food.We asked to speak to the Manager who apparently wasn't around the person we did speak to was reluctant to refund for anything (even though) she accepted all of the complaints we had. After 20 minutes of reiterating all of the issues she eventually refunded us for the ice-cream (which never arrived, the sautéed potatoes which never arrived and the children's steak pie) but nothing else, there was no gesture of goodwill. Her apology was also half hearted. We definitely do not recommend eating here, especially when there are so many other local alternatives which are so good e.g. The Muirs, The Kirklands, The Courthouse, The Thistle.

Knew for some time they had refurbished Jocks Bar so last night thought I'd have a pint prior to the Champions League. Ordered a Guinness and saw the specialsboard and Mac N Cheese jumped out and at a great price of just over £10. Suitably ordered and awaited its arrival, very tasty indeed with a good sized side salad and 2 big pieces of garlic bread. All in all very tasty and I'd certainly go back for food, only thing I was disappointed with was the price of my Guinness was more like that of an Edinburgh pub £4.90 is a lot for a rural location. Certainly worth visit however.

Friendly bar staff,music a little too loud for my liking but it was turned down.Good size portions,good value for money.

Website gives this place more chara ter than it has.. Its pretty run down on the verge of care home but its saving grace by a mile was the food and the new development of basil bar and the breakfast resteraunt made it worth while.. The room was huge and had just enough to it apart from being next to the plant room which made it sound like an elevator all night.. So much potential. but 3 stars is being a bit too many If it wasn't for the food

Back to Backstage for another concert. On this occasion we decided to dine at in house Jocks Bar. Old fashioned dim interior with military memorabilia adorning the walls. Not recommended for romantic trysts. Food is very good. We had a selection of Mixed slider burgers, Steak pie and a veggie burger with wedge fries. Quality was fine. We rounded off with 3 coffees. Bill for 3 was £66. I've paid less for a similar style meal but we are talking hotel prices.A convenient choice on a cold night avoiding traipsing about looking for other options.

The bar was very quiet on the evening of our visit as I think a function was taken place in Basil's restaurant within the Green Hotel. The menu was OK but seemed to be aimed at people liking special burgers. I decided on haddock and chips which was very good but the supposedly "mushy peas" served with it were really garden peas that had been squashed. I failed to understand the significance of the so-called "signature chips" on the menu. They were basically french fries and in no way were they different to other french fries.Annoyingly the apparently sophisticated coffee machine on the bar was extremely noisy when in use and drowned out any chance of conversation.

Comfortable, cosy bar within the Green Hotel where we spent a bit of time during our group golf weekend.Bar staff worked hard by our group of 19 but very pleasant service as they did so.Good selection of beers and wines which pleased all, good prices too.

Only popped in for a pint but first impressions was old fashioned staff seemed to not know what was what people were complaining on reception about rooms when walked in went to jocks bar which in fact is not a bar just a little bit on the side of the restaurant beer was pricey did not go back

Stopped here a few ties now for lunch when in the area. Usually quiet but great service and super food. Definitely going back

Picked the beef pie with signature chips. The chips were hard , dropped with a clunk on the plate , more like Chipsticks . Reheated /overcooked ? Maybe both ??The gravy was thick dark and gloopy tasting of flour. Veg stone cold . One of my companions who had made a similar choice made the same comments . At least the chef was consistent. Did not complain as I did not want to spoil my companions' lunch , also did not want to wait for a replacement.Lunchtime on a Friday only one other couple dining.Wondering why I am bothering with this review as DISTINCT LACK OF RESPONSE from management to previous reviewsWhat does it take ??NEVER AGAIN

Very tired furniture/decor and in need of a compete refurbishment. However the food was very tasty with good choice of dishes. Staff friendly and helpful.

Unclean and staffed by poorly trained staff. Noisy in the extreme. Go across the road to the brewery.

Gut: Whisky und Burger sowie an sich freundliches Personal. Rest: nein danke.

Wollten dort eine Kleinigkeit Essen und Trinken, wurde erst ignoriert und nach einiger Zeit plump abgewiesen, mit der Aussage sie hätten hunderte von Gästen und keinen Platz mehr für uns. Die Bar war leer, der Pakplatz war so gut wie leer. Die wollten einfach nicht. So gingen wir wieder und suchten uns etwas besseres .

Gloomy room, but food was tasty! Efficient staff & Food was served quickly. Tables are very close together, but it was quiet when we were there. Hotel staff say that booking is advisable.

Definitely recommend the food especially the burgers staff all freindly and try the pheasant off the special board if it's available

overpriced, ba0dly staffed, undewhelming food. id go so far as to say frozen food & not the hearty fare advertised wont be back & certainly wont recommend i even grudge the 1 circle im obliged to give

Exceptionally slow service. Food was cold and unappetising. My steak was dry and tough and the jus sauce gloopy and flavourless. Chips soggy. Prices high considering low quality.

Four of us had dinner in Jocks Bar recently we all found the staff very attentive and the food was first class. They have introduce a new menu since our last visit which is a great improvement. We will most defiantly return soon

A gift of a 2 day get away voucher included an allowance for food when we stayed at The Green Hotel . Food was decent. Chips are advertised as signature chips , they are just bog standard frozen chips available anywhere .

Had dinner here as staying at The Green. My husband enjoyed his more, nachos, fajitas. I had pate, very bland and then sea bass, which came with fondant potato (hard) and veg (cabbage & carrot) not very nice. Waitress didn't seem to know choice of lagers/cider. Would eat elsewhere nex time.

Warm salad and poor quality ingredients, will definitely not be back. Dirty crockery and lack of service, will not be back. How can you go wrong with prawn sandwiches!!! Warm bread, inedible prawns, disgusting marie rose sauce and waitress not interested

I ended up in the Jocks bar as the local Chinese restaurant and Pizza restaurant were closed due to the Chinese New Year and quiet so chef had been sent home. Their loss was my gain, I decided on the Bruschetta for starter, it was very tasty and nice and light. The main course of Smoked Haddock Mornay with poached egg on a bed of chive and mash was the best food I’ve ate this year. Finished off with naughty but nice sticky toffee pudding. I Will definitely be back at sometime this year.

Found this wee beauty by chance. It was 6.30pm on a Saturday night but the staff found us a table even though the majority of them were all reserved.

This place must is the shabbiest place to have a meal in.

Nous étions venus pour les moules, il n’y en avait pas. Grosse déception car nous n’avions pas envie de manger à nouveau un classique des pubs écossais : burger et fish and chips... L’exécution était moyenne. Les frites étaient mauvaises mais le burger était bon. Fish and chips bon mais frites surgelées (menu enfants).

The food was excellent and tasty would say is a bit pricy but nice .staff asked if meal ok etc but would say could be be friendly the younger girl I did feel just chuck dinner st table could be friendlyer

Stayed here for a few weeks on and off. Always great food at great price. Very nice area for sitting outside as well.

We visited Jocks Bar for dinner. When we first arrived we were turned away and asked to come back in half an hour even though we could see tables available. When we came back we were seated at a table but service was very slow and we were basically ignored for most of the night. My husband had toad in the hole which looked awful but tasted ok. I had chicken burger. The chicken was as dry as a bone and the onion rings were missing. We waited half an hour to order deserts and eventually had to go up to the bar to order. Safe to say we will not be back

I would like to say about the Jocks bar, however the meals where very nice and the staff could not be any more helpful.

Absouloutly brill place to dine and relax,Sharron and the waiting staff are just so nice to the customers I had haddock and chips it was so tasty and the portions were big so don't pass this place it's brilliaint thank you.

After a meal out we decided to visit Jocks bar as we had heard great things. Bigger than I thought as we entered but still a nice ambiance. Busy when we were there, staff were nothing other than friendly and helpful. We didn't eat but lots of others were and the food looked lovely. The pub is attached to a nice lounge, could imagine it being a very popular place to stay in a lovely part if scotland.

We ate hereon Thursday past. What really nice staff. I had the mussels and fries with lovely warm bread. It was excellent. My wife had the bbq pulled pork nachos which she really enjoyed. It was a very big portion but she gave it a good go. Well worth a visit.

Had a fantastic meal here today. Bar was quiet and peaceful as it was during the week. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Prices reasonable. I gave 4 stars only because I was reallyly hungry and had to wait a bit longer than expected for the food. Otherwise excellent.

Very rustic scots themed bar and restaurant in the Green Hotel. Food is excellent with all the bar food classics you would expect plus much more. Steak pie is a favourite. If you dont fancy the walk into town to avail yourself of the eateries there then Jocks bar will fit the bill perfectly.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, I’ve wrote about my experience with the food on my review of green hotel. Drinks were middle of the road price wise.

Good pub with good food and reasonably priced. Staff were knowledgeable about the area and friendly. Will certainly be back

For a price of £24 including 3hop lager, i think this is very good, my 3 courses included parsnip soup, slow cooked beef pie at £10.50 and Sticky Toffee Pudding, which i had before i went across the street to book in at the Windlestrae Hotel.

Staying in the Loch Green Hotel, we had dinner in Jock’s Bar. I had Macaroni which I thought was more like a ready meal macaroni than one prepared by a chef. Very disappointed. My fiancé had fish and chips, he described it as average. The decor was very tired and in desperate need of an injection of money like the rest of the hotel. Sorry to say we wouldn’t be back.

Visited here as our hotels restaurant was shut but it’s twinned with the Green hotel so they booked us in Jocks Bar. Service was quick and friendly. The food was piping hot and delicious especially the steak pie. Dog friend which was great.

Standard pub food on offer. The quality was alright but portions small for the price. Staff very jovial and chatty and waiter did apologise for the delay in our food arriving.

By the nature of the setting, it offered decent bar meals, the satay was good, fish was okay and the burgers very filling.

A lovely bar that pays homepage to Scotland’s soldiers from the black watch. The staff were friendly and helped as

We stayed in the hotel and had dinner on the first night. Service was good, food also did not let us down. I did especially enjoyed sticky toffee pudding, cake was really nice and had a wonderful flavour.

Was staying in the attached hotel (Green Hotel) and ate here as I'd been walking during the days and with the cold wet weather I wasn't really in the mood for going out again.

We where in jocks bar for a evening meal my husband had the fish and chips the chips was skinny fries the fish was ok but no mushy peas and that was £13.50 for that I had macaroni with smoked bacon and that was good I ordered chips which was £2.00 a portrait and to my surprise there was only six thick cut chips in my bowl

Nice welcome. Good generally okay, but definitely not special. Waiting staff gave up on us after main courses. Quite small and uncomfortable chairs. Interesting military memorabilia on walls. Good location near M90.

Checked into the hotel after 6pm so booking a table was a bit last minute. Had a bit of a wait until 8pm for a table. When we arrived, the table wasn’t ready. We were seated at 8:15pm. After ordering drinks, we waited 20mins for them to be brought to the table which is then when we ordered food. We waited a further 50mins for our food which was then pretty late by that point. We ordered macaroni and a slow cooked beef pie. The food was very nice when it arrived.

Stayed in hotel and ate dinner 2 nights. Menu limited if you don't like fish, however there will be something for everyone. Great desserts, especially the Sundaes. Need thinner spoons though as they do not get into the bottom of the sundae glasses, meaning you miss out on the best bits.

The bar was good value for money and the service was really friendly and helpful.The decor was lots of pictures of the military of years gone bye.

had an evening meal here during our post new year break at the Green Hotel. we hadnt needed to book and its a dog friendly place so our spaniel felt quite at home. service and attention was good and the food arrived promptly. we enjoyed everything. The only criticism i have is presentation....it lacks something. for example a burger and chips but no side salad (a bit of colour as much as anything). i wouldnt feel short changed..As it was quite busy up to 8pm, the atmosphere was quite good but it certainly quietened off after that

Decent prices for filling tasty food, surroundings a little tired and dated but the people and service was excellent.

My wife and I ate here one night on a 3 day DBB break at the Green Hotel. The food was good quality pub grub and a nice contrast to the fine dining restaurant within the hotel. We shared nachos with accompaniments as a starter and followed this with mussels for my wife and a burger for myself. The food was excellent and the portions were very acceptable.

Not happy that a hotel of this size allowed itself to run out of gluten free pasta on a night the had a concert on in the premises or couldn’t have bought some from the local Sainsbury’s !!!

Simply put, great pub grub with attentive staff and excellent service. Could do with one or two real ales as a choice of beers. Recommended.

Stayed at The Green Hotel for two days and thoroughly enjoyed the food in Jocks. Would recommend to anyone visiting Kinross.

Lacks character,service and food was appalling

Has a couple of drinks and a meal in this Bar which is attached to the Green Hotel. The staff were very friendly the food was ok but it was very cold in the Bar

Old fashioned beamed ceiling pub and part of the Green Hotel. Our waiter was very nice and helpful. Food reasonably priced and really typical pub grub. I had the natchos and not sure when the cheese was melted on the top but it wasn’t just before serving as the cheese was cold and the pilled pork was look warm. That said they were tasty. Husbands burger was okay but just on the average side of things. The dessert of warm waffles, caramelised banana and coconut ice cream was a disaster. Yes the waffle was warm, there were 2 very small pieces of banana and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream with coconut sprinkled on top. Not good at all, my friend sent it back. Not the best pub I have eaten in but not the worst either.

The parking is at the front so ample spaces. It is quite old fashioned but very welcoming and comfortable......there are sales agents, visitors, locals , golfers and suchlike who visit this smart/casual bar as it’s part of The Green Hotel. The food is very adequate and varied on a day to day special menu. It has wifi ! The staff are friendly and the service good. A pleasant restaurant/bar.

We chose this resteraunt for the Haggis. They were out of It.We waited about 1 hour for our main course after finishing our starter.

Floor staff couldn't be any more useless if they tried the bloke was very rude when asked if the kitchen could cater for my wife who is a gluten free fungus free vegan after being advised it would be no problem and made us feel very second best. Would have complained on the night but couldn't get near the reception for a woman complaining loudly about the lateness of their meal for six and how they had missed their show

excellent, tasty fresh food, interesting, just enough to satisfy you nothing stingy about their helpings.

Good food nice menu choice. We had steaks and they were perfect. Ordered sauces which didn't come but staff were quick to rectify.

We stayed in an adjacent hotel and Jocks Bar was recommended to us. Staff were very smart, friendly and informative about the menu. The menu was of a good standard and when the good came, the portions were very good value for money.

Stayed on a golf trip with my wife and enjoyed friendly service and an excellent steak followed by a knickerbocker glory full of fruit. A very pleasant meal within the budget set on the terms of our stay - £25 meal allowance. The beer was good as well!

A super lunch at Jocks Bar. Well priced and a good menu choice .Service always pleasant .Friendly atmosphere.

Whilst staying at sister hotel we were booked here for dinner.The waitress was very attentive and the food was very good.The only downside was no mussels but the food was delicious and good value.

My partner and I decided to come into The Green Hotel for some lunch, as we were visiting Kinross to see Loch Leven. We were welcomed by a friendly receptionist who pointed us in the direction of Jocks Bar for some food. Upon arrival, we were met by a welcoming waiter who showed us to the sunlit table by the window. The waiter came over with some menus and immediately starting talking to us about our day. He explained the best way to look around Loch Leven and what was available in Kinross. He told us his name was Dan and continued to explain the soup and fish specials, as well as what was currently available and most popular on the menu. We ordered the salmon Caesar salad and salmon fishcake starter, which was delightful. This was followed by the fish and chips main, which came in a huge portion! Though we were quite full after this, we were convinced by Dan to order some desserts. We ordered a mixture of ice cream flavours and asked if we could get chocolate sauce. He kindly checked with the kitchen before returning shortly with the best looking ice creams I have seen. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and to say we will be coming back soon is an understatement! On our way out we admired all the Black Watch memorabilia on the walls, which apparently the Hotel has a close link with. Though the weather wasn’t perfect for a day out, the great meal set us up for the day and I hope the bosses of the Hotel acknowledge just how good their members of staff are. Thanks again Dan!

Good menu - after an amazing starter we had the beefburgers - good value , tasty and faultless service.

Amazing food and decent prices, warm and welcoming staff.The pub is hard to believe its attached to a hotel, dedicated to The Black Watch regiment was homely.

menu was restricted due to local event. Had steak and ale pie that was rather under-whelming! No starters or desserts on said menu. Hotel guests should be made aware of this at least at check in.

Had a few drinks, nice and Scottish. Guests and Staff nice, food looked good! Good choice at bar, nice to look our at Summer fair. Was a beautiful day which added to occasion

Booked a table at Jocks Bar for an early evening family meal. The bar was already busy but we where greeted by a very friendly barman who showed us to our table. The drinks order was taken, he made sure he built a rapport with our 6 year old grandson and one year old granddaughter. The service was attentive but in no way overbearing. The kids food arrived first which was a nice touch, our food arrived a little later which meant Mum and Dad could enjoy their meal as the wee one was already contented with what she had eaten and was just happy nibbling by herself. The food itself was good hearty pub food the portion sizes are very generous, so much so everyone was too full and couldn't manage dessert. Overall a pleasant meal, all the staff are helpful and friendly, which makes it a welcoming atmosphere.

we went here to get lunch as our hotel did not have lunch or dinner anyway went in about 3 in afternoon and there was only about 4 people in the pub very quiet food was ok nothing to write home about the pub did not have a great menu but was ok

Espectacular!!!comida excelente. A precio correcto. Tomamos el pescado del dia y los macarrones. Todo riquísimo.trato muy amableMenjar excel·lent a bon preu. vam pendre peix frec del dia i macarrons. tot boníssim. tracte molt amableexcellent prizes. daily fresh fish very good. macaroni mmmm!! they treated us very well

Yet another great visit. Plenty choice. Prompt efficient service. Delicious, well presented food. Will definitely return

Had a meal here with 20 other friends and the staff coped admirably. The food was good, hot and did not take that long considering the size of the order.I would not say there is a massive choice and some of it standard faire but what I had was good

Great service in this bar- the staff were very attentive and lovely.I had a fish finger sandwich and it had two full bits of cod in it! Very tasty and very filling for the sum of £5!Drink selection could be more varied.

We visited here for a coffee and to dry after our walk around the Heritage trail, when we got a little wet. They served nice coffee, and had good music playing. The staff were very friendly.

On arrival place was not to busy so easy to get a seat, ordered drinks at bar but server told us to sit and she would bring drinks and menu, Menu is quite limited but we both opted for the Maccar on which had a choice of add-ons, I picked mine with cray fish and salad my partner choose bacon, and chips, food was ok but added flat bread would have been more appropriate with curry, for dessert we chose the cheese board , very disapointing, 2 small bits of brie and 2 small bits of cheddar , no crackers available as the had run out so had to make do with oat cakes, not worth the £8.00, waiter was good but the service was slow so overall everything was just acceptable

To cut a long story short the length of time from taking our order to getting our meal was one hour!! Our waitress was lovely and took our order quickly enough but it simply went downhill after that. We had been told there was a big party coming at 7:30 which is why we booked our table for 7:00 thinking that would be enough time for us to get our main course before the big party arrived. When our food did arrive the waitress was very apologetic explaining she had been too busy in the restaurant to deal with our order. Unfortunately no one updated us while we were waiting.When our dinner did come both of our meals were, to say the least, not very pleasant. I had fish and chips which was verging on being burnt. My daughter had steak which she said tasted disgusting but by then we were so hungry we would have eaten anything! My daughter asked me not to complain as the waitress looked stressed enough and at the end of the day it wasn't her fault. Hindsight being a great thing we should have complained.Would we go back? Definitely not!

We were staying in this establishment's sister hotel, The Windlestrae and thought we would have a meal here instead............Big mistake! When booking we were told there was a big party coming into the restaurant at 7:30 so we booked a table in the bar for 7:00. We arrived on time, were greeted by a lovely friendly waitress who took our order by 7:15, this is when things went downhill. We did not receive our food until 8:15!! No one came to explain why there was a delay although our waitress did apologise profusely explaining she has been stuck in the dining room because of a big party. I ordered fish and chips, my daughter steak. My fish was verging on burnt and my daughter's steak was (she said) disgusting. I was going to complain at the time but my daughter did not want to upset the waitress because she looked stressed enough as it was. The receptionist who booked us in was also lovely, friendly and efficient so I can only assume the problem is with the kitchen who, I can only assume is not the most organised!

We spent a couple of hours in here before an evening meal, staff are friendly, drinks were wet, decor is perhaps a bit tired but overall an ok pub.

Came to Jocks Bar just for a small refreshment ended up staying for Lunch Staff very pleasant Food was Great

Very limited menu (macaroni in abundance) £11 for fish and chips (skinny fries). I had sea bass from specials board but still hungry. Asked twice for bill

Very very slow times to get food and drink used to be a lovely place but I haven't gone in months after I decided I waited too long here

Arrived at Jocks Bar sat down as per instruction from waitress where she came back and asked if we had booked which we hadn't. Told the chef couldn't take 3 of us they weren't even busy. They advertised that served all day but couldn't get food at 6pm very dissatisfied :(
