Visited today for the first which is a suprise as we don’t live far away but have just never thought of going, big mistake!!! Great experience firstly a very welcoming couple greeted us and we were shown to our seats it quickly became apparent nothing was a problem here , very willing to please you with anything required . The food was great we had the satay starter and my friend a soup , delicious and cooked fresh ! I had fish & chips for main and my friend the veggie curry . They offered to alter meal for my friend as she was on a diet and done the same with her cheese board adding extra fruit instead of crackers super accommodating !!!! We then had coffee which again I like weak my friend liked strong we were given a cafeteria each to our taste !!! My friend and I stayed the full afternoon and we were made welcome not told to go at any point and we had a terrific catch up !! Over all 10/10 customer service hard to find these days !!! I’ll be back shortly !!!! Thank you the last Shift !

What a find! Very welcoming and a friendly atmosphere adds to the experience. The background music was fantastic. Not too loud that it hindered conversation but added to the ambiance. Now for the food…perfect. Good sized portions, good choice on the menu and cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend and will most certainly be returning

This is our local and we visit at least twice a month. Marcus is always friendly and welcoming and knows the food/bar menu very well. Jenny produces tasty and filling dishes and will adapt them for any allergies/ intolerances etc. The food is always cooked and presented really nicely and the atmosphere is modern but has lovely old stonework and beams. Great supply of keg beers and other alcohol drinks and the homemade lemonade is my favourite. Menu is varied and there’s something for everyone and changes with the seasons. There’s also a special board and Sunday roast which is very filling. Well worth a visit but make sure you book as it’s a small kitchen.

Had a lovely meal here with my husband. I Had breaded chicken with mushroom sauce. My husband had haggis puff rolls to start then gnocchi following by plumb & apple crumble. Staff were lovely and service good. Will definitely return .

As now a local in the area found the last shift to be the ideal spot for high quality food at a reasonable price with good friendly service and a nice enviroment to go for a drink especially if you like very, very, loud "head banging" music from a unmonitored playlist of someones personal choice!!! Aswell as a feature fire in the bar which is in no way welcoming. What a waste of a superb environment with as stated great food and friendly service. Obviously thats what they focussed on and not customers comfort levels. Will keep going due to our convenience but visits will be brief!!!

Brilliant food and drink and customer care was second to none. Great pub atmosphere and an altogether brilliant night out. Had the fishcake starter and Mediterranean chicken special. Absolutely delicious and topped off with sticky toffee pudding. Would highly recommend for a lovely dining experience.

My wife and myself dined at the Last Shift last night,there were a good few people dinning,The waitress started off with getting our drinks order wrong not once but twice,My wife's starter was the spicy Prawns they arrived just warm,I had the mushrooms they were fine,Our main courses were I had the stake pie,plenty of it and it was fine nice and hot,my wife had roast of the day plenty of it but it was tasteless,I did try it,the meat was look warm but covered in gravy which made it feel hot.When asked how our meal was my wife said it was ok. I asked for the bill when it arrived I take it that the lady was the owner/manager,she asked what was wrong my wife told her and she said she would check,When I was about to pay the Manager I thought we would get something off our bill but all she said was she had tasted the beef and it was fine,I disagreed with her but all she said was we agreed to differ that's not what we wanted to hear.We will not be back!!!! No apology nothing not even a sorry.

Out in the sticks and only open Friday through Sunday for food, but well worth a visit.Hosts Frank and Jan, could not have been more helpful and friendly. Also the locals treated us so passionately, you't have thought they had known us for years, a lovely quiet pub in a lovely quiet place. We plan on going back in the summer.

This is a cute little restaurant & pub in the small town of Brae Head. The food is good, service fair, but the clientele great (really friendly). The owners will make certain that you are comfortable and will try to meet your needs. Make certain to call for a reservation because they can get fairly busy!

The restaurant is located in Biggar High Street, where there is parking on-street in the locality for those driving, however we’re fortunate enough to live within reasonable walking distance. It’s closed on Monday & Tuesdays but otherwise open for lunch and dinner. The menu usually has half a dozen starters and desserts with around eight mains courses to choose from and these all feature fairly frequent changes. Currently the cost of a three course meal is £31.95 per head which represents a modest saving on the individual course prices. Supplements apply to some dishes which can increase the cost marginally but on the upside there are also discounted deals, such as “Steak Night” on a Thursday where you can get a starter and a steak for £25. To give some idea of what food is offered, on our last couple of visits we had Thai Fish Cakes with lemon mayo, Warm Bacon, Black Pudding & Potato Salad, Chicken Liver Pate with oatcakes and a Mushroom, Brie & Thyme Tart as starters. For mains we’ve had Haddock wrapped in Parma Ham, Breast of Chicken in Drambuie Sauce, Parsley & Hazelnut Crusted Cod, and Ballotine of Chicken & Haggis with a whisky sauce (as an alternative to peppercorn) all served with a selection of potatoes and vegetables. For desserts we both had the Cherry Bakewell Tart with Amaretto Custard on one occasion, an Apple & Blueberry Crumble Tart with custard and a Baileys & Strawberry Cheesecake with Chantilly Cream and fresh berries on another visit. Generally speaking the food is very good with only an occasional slight disappointment when for example a flavour mentioned on the menu isn‘t particularly noticeable in the dish itself - the Amaretto was subtle to the extent we couldn’t taste it in the custard for instance. Drinks are typically priced for a restaurant - e.g. we had a bottle of wine at £32 on one of the visits, a glass of Sauvignon is £5.25, and a G&T £4.75. Service is friendly, mannerly and efficient in our experience. On the past couple of visits it was busy and there was a good ambiance in the main restaurant with some guests being directed to the upstairs section on one occasion. Our only gripe is that the seats are not all re-upholstered and if you get one which hasn’t been "padded-out" in recent times it can get quite uncomfortable sitting for too long which is not ideal. Toilets are well maintained.
