Lockard's Farm in Dumfries & Galloway

Great food nice prices. Staff brilliant especially Erin, very attentive

My husband and I Went for a meal here today and wow!! Lovely place, very clean including the toilets. Food was amazing, nice and hot and cooked perfectly - compliments to the chef. Staff were Excellent and outstanding customer service provided by Erin, we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and highly recommend Lockards Farm and will definitely return again.

We had not booked and realised quickly that we should have, and will in future. Thankfully there was a spare table and and after a short wait we were seated with a menu. I am coeliac and asked a staff member about gluten free breakfast options. Although there was not a non-gluten containing breakfast menu the staff member was able to state what I could and could not have. When asked a question that she did not know the answer to she was more than happy to go and check with the kitchen staff. Then when the food arrived there was an allergy marker to ensure all staff were aware. This filled me with confidence where other restaurants have not understood the allergens related to Coeliac and I have been “glutened” on a number of occasions (where I am seriously ill) which has resulted in me rarely eating out. The presentation of the food was lovely and when I asked for more butter (gluten free bread can be very dry and requires more butter than normal) she went straight away and brought me some back and advised to just ask if we needed anything else. Overall we were made to feel welcome and we couldn’t have asked for a better service, which was fantastic considering how busy the restaurant was. Thank you to all the staff.

Really enjoyed our visit today! Service from Denton was 10/10, friendly, quick and not too intrusive. Roast beef was lovely! Will definitely be back 😀

Steak and Ale pie was the best I had ever tried, the pastry was so light.

Lockards Farm was recommended to me and I ate here 2 nights in a row while I was working in the area. Everything was good from the minute I walked in. They have a proper separate GF menu with a great choice. The food was wonderful. When I am away for work I often eat on my own and frequently find that as a solo diner I am over looked. Not the case at Lochards Farm! Excellent service throughout! Special mention to Emily and Hannah, two outstanding waitresses.

I was there a birthday roast and the service was great! The only issue we had is that our desserts were forgotten, but when staff realised the mistake they apologised, got right on it and gave us a discount on our meal. Would definitely return if I'm in the area

Always a warm welcome, staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Nice environment always clean and tidy. Breakfast was fresh and tasty

Erin was our waitress So attentive from minute we arrived. Excellent friendly staff and lovely place to eat and also give NHS discount. Will certainly be back. Lovely young cheery gentleman at bar too. Overall excellent experience. Best to book ahead.

Fantastic food and great service from Erin and all staff. Highly recommend

Great dog friendly pub! Reserved Sunday lunch online, easy to do...Emily was a very attentive server, and drinks and food arrived promptly. Good portions, plenty of veg too!

Nice clean place, very friendly staff and amazing food

Service fantastic, food hot and fresh with a great atmosphere!!! Cannot recommend enough, must visit in Dumfries, first class!

All round excellent. Toilets spotless. We had dinner on Tuesday night and then Lunch on wednesday before our Journey home. Go again if back in area.

Enjoyed our experience with good food and friendly staff.

Brilliant food, good service, good pint selection, how can you make that better!

Wonderful friendly staff and food. Staff asks if you have any food allergies which is brilliant.

Was a lovely meal out with the family. Our server Erin was lovely as was the lad behind the bar for the day. Very accommodating, friendly and kind. The food was great too, overall good day had by all.

Always a good night when you get ERIN looking after you in Lockards. She goes above and beyond everytime. Five star service!

Was served by Mackenzie . She was super friendly and checked up on us and made sure everything was good. Fast service and a nice smile

Lovely atmosphere ,friendly staff, very smart place, spotlessly clean, great food, slight problem between table order and kitchen, probably software problem on touch screen otherwise very good, would definitely come back, well done

Lovely pub, great food and friendly staff! Dogs very welcome in one sode of the restaurant they even provide treats bowls of water and beds if you need them! Would definitely recommend .

Another great visit to Lockards Farm! Staff were lovely and very attentive! Drinks and food were both served quickly, despite being busy, and amazing as always - definitely recommend!!

Food was of a very good standard , service a little slow but was very busy. Staff were excellent . Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely bar/restaurant. Surroundings are very pleasant with well spaced tables. Great dining atmosphere. Food is really great, but occasionally, vegetables let it down but doesn't spoil the meal. The staff are always welcoming and very pleasant, never to busy to have a chat whilst serving. Would definitely recommend. 👍

Been here before and it has been very hit and miss. This time the staff were very efficient and friendly so well done. The food was awful, I had the vegetarian pie which tasted like something you would buy from Gregg's for a couple of quid........terrible......I left here feeling robbed. I have had a look at some of the reviews on here, if you click on some names with only a few reviews you will see that all of their reviews are 5 star and all reviews are for lockards farm.......very strange......do these people only fine here? After this experience I doubt it.

Very nice comfortable place with delicious food and served by Mackenzie who was very welcoming and friendly

Food was great and reasonably priced. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Food was alright, waitress was pleasant but music was far too loud

I’m really shocked at the good reviews. Our hotel recommended here as we wanted a meal. I found it such poor standard like a typical microwave meal. I actually thought my adult meal portion was a child’s one smallest main meal I have ever been served in my entire life. Children’s meal i have no words, it would have filled a 1 year old just my children were stunned. Just point out we are a slim family and genuinely we have never been served portions that size. No cans or bottled drinks aside from 2 choices or draft. Phone kept ringing over and over no one would answer it. We don’t live here so we’d never be back anyway, but this is definitely one of my most disappointing meals I’ve ever had .

Beautiful place and so nice Staff special Erin

Down for our holidays and Lockhards Farm was highly recommended to us. We visited on Sunday for a family lunch. Amazing 🤩 very clean restaurant & toilets. loved the roast dinners tasty and hot 😉 Kids areas indoor and outdoor bonus. Casey our server was great and helpful especially when my wee boy hurt himself outside 🥰 Will definitely be back if we are in the are again. Thank you 🤩

Great experience Mackenzie our server was first class and very polite and friendly

Fantastic food served by friendly people!

We were pleasantly surprised by Lockards Farm 👏🏼 from the general layout to the food to the service were all amazing and we will definitely be back, the staff are a credit to you

Enjoyed a Sunday roast here. Wasn't very best pleased they added £10 gratuities to my receipt.

Called in here on Fri 4th Oct for lunch.A superb pub with great food,very quick service,large portions and piping hot.We had mixed grill and pie & mash which were lovely.All staff including Mackenzie were lovely and very helpful and polite.10/10 Thanks guys TK

On arrival shown to our table very quickly seated and our waitress Erin came took drinks order then again for food order food arrived I had Sunday roast 2 had gammon both were delicious would highly recommend here Erin was wonderful very polite and helpful

I haven't been able to afford to come back for quite some time until now, and have thourally enjoyed the experience every time I have visited. Food is always warm and tasty. Portions are if a nice size as well. Well worth the time and money spent in this place. Always a warm and inviting atmosphere here. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone.

The staff were really friendly which is why I’ve settled for 3/5 stars, the rest of the experience however wasn’t so good. The food wasn’t hot when it came out, the gravy on the roast dinner was cold. There was a family dinner on the table next to us who’s children were running around the tables and screaming/ shouting while we were trying to eat and the staff didn’t challenge the parents or try to stop it. At one point the other family’s children started pulling on my twins high chairs and made my toddler shout for them to stop. It was very rushed, the plates were taken away before some of us had finished eating and this made us feel that we had to hurry up and leave.

Erin was so lovely! Great service with a smile and our Sunday roast was delicious!

Great reasonably priced food, staff are very friendly and a great atmosphere. Served by Erin who couldn't have done more. Sure we will return next time we are in the area.

A great Sunday lunch today! Good atmosphere, clean and tidy. Good service and smashing choice of food. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Great staff so attentive, food great please pass on out comments. Overall fantastic so good word cannot e plain truly

Great atmosphere and lovely food. Highly recommended

Food was excellent, plenty of parking with great service 👌

1st time we've visited, well worth it. Will definitely be back.

Pleasant staff. The food is somewhere between fast food and restaurant. You can have plenty of vegetables and vegetarian fare some vegan dishes or just fish and chips and it is all tasty. I though would say it is systemised and so not trying to compete with upmarket restaurants or even high class pub food

We had lunch and the service was excellent. The food was okay, we returned one dish and it was replaced without any fuss. It was overwhelmingly good the service from Erin. It was lunchtime and I wouldn’t expect the atmosphere to be any different. There was music in the background and a gentle hum of chitter chatter from other dinners. This is clearly a popular place. Thank you Erin!

Really lovely atmosphere and our waitress Erin was superb also . The food was super and even my dog loved his portion

Really lovely atmosphere and our waitress Erin was superb also . The food was super and even my dog loved his portion . We would def be back

Staff were lovely ,very attentive and helpful. Had the trio of roasts as a main course which was nice but consisted of 4 small roast spuds , a tiny razor thin piece of beef ,couple of slices of turkey with a Yorkshire pudding ,gravy and veg. Very,very poor portion for near £17 . Portion sizes seem to be an issue with a lot of reviews going back a while, but not seeming to be heeded. Disappointing, used to be a go to place for us.

Amazing food, staff and service. Really good portion sizes too.

Vegan options available for Sunday roast. We were only passing through on our way back home to Gateshead in England but if ever in area again would certainly return to eat here again. No r atmosphere. Staff friendly, place clean and spacey. Nice family environment too.

Joseph was welcoming and gave good service throughout our visit just let down by food I had macaroni cheese which was seriously over cooked I left the majority of it we did have dessert which was nothing to right home about and had way to much icing sugar dusted over it

Fantastic Food and a cosy warm atmosphere make for a lovely enjoyable experience when you visit Lockards Farm Dumfries. The outside dining area is spacious, clean and includes a play area for the kids. Add to this friendly attentive staff and plentiful free parking, gives you a stress free dining experience that will have you coming back for more. Highly recommended!! Recently visited Lockards Farm and was shocked to find how the standards had dropped, overflowing ashtrays, dirty tables, the chicken was dry and the presentation of the food was poor, add in slow service ( it was quite when we were there) and I’m afraid to say Lockharts Farm plunges from the top of the class to the bottom, 4 Stars lost from my last visit!

Very good 👍 Nice food and lovely staff

We are there last night while on holiday in the local area . We booked ahead as we were looking for a dog friendly table which we got . Staff were attentive on arrival and we were shown to our table . Didn't seem to be many staff working but the ones who were worked hard to ensure we were attended to We ordered a doggy roast chicken meal for out wee dog portion was huge and he really enjoyed it but just a bit much for him my daughters had fish and chips which was lovely and again a huge portion I had buttermilk chicken burger which had lots of sauce on it which I didn’t really enjoy but the burger it’s self was pleasant. One thing that would of helped us was to know where to get water / bowl for your dog as staff were really busy and we couldn’t see any indication of where you could access them

Stopped with our dog and were made very welcome. Had the sausage and mash light bite and it was the best I’ve had anywhere.

Nice sausage muffin, friend had full breakfast, good value for money,

Brilliant, thanks. Lovely warm welcome, excellent service by Erin who was polite, knowledgeable and approachable. Enjoyed the food and the service.

Amazing breakfast, very reasonable price & well presented. Julia & Mackenzie both very pleasant & welcoming, couldn’t be more helpful

The menu has changed since I last went there, enjoyed my meal, as did the other three with me, staff were very helpful and friendly,

Can't comment on the food service atmosphere because we were turned away at the door, stopped serving food at 8 pm , travelled over 100mls, and we're not happy Arrived just after 8 pm .

Met up with friends who were staying in Annan.... Staff were welcoming, food was amazing and location was good. Dog friendly too...

Warm welcome, very clean and tidy, fresh hot, good quality food, nice and quiet atmosphere , friendly helpful staff, dog friendly section, all very happy, thankyou 😊

Very friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Food was well presented and value for money. Could not fault the experience from arriving to leaving.

Erin was a great server very attentive and warming to our family. The food was amazing , had such a lovely lunch after a long day travelling.

Food and service both excellent. We had a very comfortable indoor dog-friendly table. Dogs well catered for and the restaurant is very thoughtfully laid out.

Always good food and service. Served by Julia with a smile last time in 👌🏻👌🏻

Lovely spot for a bite of lunch!

Warm welcome and pleasant staff. good food and drink

An ideal location for a business meeting. Quiet table requested and supplied. Excellent food and service at reasonable prices. Thanks.

We had breakfast with my work mates, excellent food and service from Erin👍

Always seated quickly, clean table as always. Our waitress Emily was brilliant, couldn't have asked for better. So incredibly helpful and got our orders spot on. Will definitely be back soon

Lovely experience at Lockards. Great service, the staff gave us plenty of time to enjoy a family birthday celebration, no feeling of being rushed at all and very accomodating. Food was delicious everyone loved it all. Would definitely be back and highly recommend.

Fantastic food and reasonably priced and doggy friendly 😃😃👍👍👍👍👍

Food was lovely. Staff friendly and helpful.

Really lovely meal. Our waitress Erin was great! So helpful when my friend ordered the wrong drink. Thank you again

I had been previously eaten here some years ago pre covid, and that experience had made not really want to return. However I was part of a group of 18 having lunch and it was very pleasant although I was a bit disappointed not to have the, stated on the menu, Crackling with my roast pork, but the rest of the food on my plate was delicious so 9/10. I also had the sticky toffee pudding which was OK but I've had better versions than what I have had served elsewhere so maybe a 6 out of 10 for dessert. My friend had the burnt basque cheesecake but they said if was very disappointing and tasteless so 3 out of 10. My other friend had the salted caramel sundae and it looked good and they said it was very good so will give it 10/10. Our server Erin was very knowledgeable and efficient who contributed to the ambience of a very nice lunch experience. I have changed my mind about this restaurant and I would definitely recommend to others, and I'm sure I will be back in the near future.

We were on holiday in Dumfries, Lockards Farm was recommended to us & we were not disappointed. It's a lovely cosy pub with a good reasonably priced menu & the food & staff were excellent 👌

Pleasant experience in nice surroundings convenient for center and east side of Dumfries. Restaurant was impeccable as were the toilets. Staff friendly and helpful. Food was reasonably priced and I had the fish/ chips which was excellent. I will definitely use Lochards Farm again as I work in Dumfries as a relief manager on local holiday park about 3 times a year.

We arrived and were greeted and shown to our table.The waitress was friendly and efficient.Service time was reasonable as they were very busy!The ambience is welcoming.Food portions are generous,My husband had to finish what i couldn't manage.We didn't feel rushed at any point and our waitress checked we were enjoying our meal.When we went to pay we had a nice chat with the lady who took our payment.All the staff members we met were lovely and a credit to the business.

Pub grub with a homely environment

Lovely friendly environment and very efficient service from Emily.

Service was quite slow which is fine but we had asked for some alterations to the kids meals due to allergies, the kids meals came out, one was correct and one was wrong, both ordered the same thing so it got sent back, then our meals came out, they brought us two lots of onion rings instead of onion rings and a garlic bread, we had to give the little one some of our food to keep her quiet because her food wasn't there yet, she got her food when we were almost done, meaning she's ate food off of everyone elses plate until hers is there. The garlic bread came when we were almost finished and the steak was badly cooked, there was a lot of fat that hadn't been rendered so it was awful. We did get money off out bill for the bread and kids meal but I didn't want to say about the steak because noone came to check food was ok or if we wanted more drinks.

Dinner with my wife Joseph and Julia were first class very friendly good food had a brilliant steak each highly recommended

Great place to visit with family and our dog, staff are always friendly and welcoming. Food is always great! Will be back!

Had an amazing lunch, team were all really friendly, food delicious. A credit to the area.

Amazing team and food. The manager Paul is always on hand to answer any questions we have. Highly recommend!

Excellent and attentive service and delicious food

Erin our waitress was lovely, very friendly and a lovely personality. We had breakfast and it was absolutely beautiful, hot and very presentable, deffo eat there again x

Went for breakfast with family, great value for money and the staff were lovely! Never had a bad experience, will be back, definitely recommend!!

Fantastic and quick service from Erin food served with a smile

My youngest and I visited Lockards on Monday night, and once again it was excellent. Food was brilliant, it’s dog friendly, and once again I commend the staff who are the very heart of any pub. When I visit Scotland to see my kids, it’s our “go to” place. Definitely recommended 😊

Great experience at Lockards Farm, really delicious food, friendly and attentive staff and great value lunch deal. Will definitely be back.
