Lockard's Farm in Dumfries & Galloway

Nice atmosphere, and we were not too close to others as we had 2 dogs with us ,as I know not everyone likes dogs in eating areas .

The food was first class, as was the service, we called there twice.

This is the 4th time, continue to give them the benefit of the doubt, but have finally come to the conclusion as a family its over priced for what it is. Yesterday Easter Sunday, the last plate should be as good as the 1st, however the pork was dry...food drowned in gravy, we were just hungry hence we didn't send it back otherwise I would have, the last time the steak was ordered medium rare but came out grey! In short will definitely not going back again when in Dumfries

Mackenzie gave us excellent service. She is a credit to the company.

Served by Mackenzie who was very helpful

Great welcome. Very friendly and inviting. Was, a busy evening but we were not rushed at all. Lovely meal. Only criticism I have is cold veg. That's the 2nd. Time. All in all my friend and I had a lovely evening. Tgankyou

Lovely pub, great food and loved the dog friendly food option! My dog loved her steak and mash

Served by Erin, very polite and welcoming to us, was a great atmosphere very clean inside and staff was well presented and all very polite , had a Scottish breakfast was a great portion and all perfectly cooked

We were due to check in our holiday let at 3pm. As we were early, lunch was on our agenda. Places near by was Lockards Farm and you had excellent ratings. We weren't disappointed! The appearance outside was pleasing. We were met by a friendly assistant, who showed us to our table. The design and decor is great. Menu choices were plentiful. We both opted for the Signature burgers. They were delicious. They were served with tasty fries. We drank wine and guiness and ordered desserts later. The cherry and apple crumble and the cheesecake were yummy. The service was great. It set us up for the rest of the day. As we are on holiday, our plan is to return within the next 7 days. We will try something different from the menu. We don't expect to be disappointed!

Tasty, quality food served in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

Poor food and service , gone down hill since previous visits , won’t be returning much better in the area . Used to enjoy visiting but not anymore

Lovely Sunday lunch in a relaxed atmosphere with a splash of sun!

The food and drink were phenomenal! The best I've had while on holiday! The wait staff were friendly and patient with questions. A lovely experience.

Great food and lovely staff, just a shame the patio is on a busy road

Second time we've visited on our way back from Scotland holiday, came back as knew food was very good and didn't disappoint this time either. Had the 3 course lunchtime special which was great value and absolutely lovely. Will definitely come again.

Food was delicious, we had 3 course for £17 well worth the money Highly recommend this place

Erin was fantastic. Very polite, friendly with very prompt service

Was greeted at the door fairly quickly, seated and served. My gran didn't like the tea and the staff member quickly changed it was no bother at all

We arrived a little early but were seated promptly along with our dog, staff were quick and efficient with drinks and food order, food was again very nice , piping hot and once again a great experience

Lovely lunch with first class service by Erin ☺️

This was the first time that I had been to Lockards for the Sunday Lunch menu, and I was surprised as didn't think it would be as good. My only critisism would be the temperature of the food on the plate, as it could have been a little hotter. Otherwise very good. have been supporting Lockards since it opened and always given a positive review. On this occasion we were not impressed with the table and chairs, which I understand are being refurbished, but this was not a good experience. The way our visit was managed on the day did not help and therefore this is reflected in this review.

Fantastic little spot! It’s always our go to breakfast spot when we’re holidaying in Scotland! We've been a fair few times over the years and always been served by Erin! She’s very welcoming and smiling always.

Really enjoyed our meal. Service was excellent. We were looked after by Mackenzie. Definitely returning for another meal.

An amazing meal... We were expecting something like an average restaurant chain experience but menu, food and staff were all exceptional. Friendly fast service, great range on the menu, and excellent food. Highly recommended.

Good food at reasonable prices with great service and child friendly!

Polite prompt service. Good value 2 course meal deal which was hot & tasty.

Been a few times now to Lockards and thoroughly satisfied every time. Last 2 occasions was without a booking but best to book at weekend as it gets busy. Clean and comfortable, friendly staff, decent food with quite a choice from main menu. No complaints whatsoever

Lovely place, easy parking, welcoming staff, food was excellent and we’d booked a table in the pet friendly area but with the open plan layout you don’t feel like you’ve been sent to the naughty corner because you brought your dog with you, also a doggy station with water bowls and more. Will definitely return

Lovely meal and Emily was great really felt so welcome and looked after. Food was good and great choice even for gluten free me. Brill being dog friendly with water and treats available for them

Really nice place for informal dining. Good for famiies. Lots of garden dining in the summer. Good quality food with lots of choice caters for people who have allergies and for non meat eaters.

Cozy friendly atmosphere where we could relax with a nice meal with our dog. Loved how welcoming the staff were and accommodating of our dog. They have dog menus, fresh water, rugs, bowls and treats. Never been to a more dog friendly restaurant with delicious food for both humans and dogs 🙂

Table surface sticky. Seats uncomfortable. Food excellent.

Def recommend the breakfasts ! Really good value, and good quality

Nice meal, good value for money

Friendly welcoming staff, we had been sent a voucher on the morning of booking, however the offer had ended the day previously, the host explained that she would try to honour the deal, however she could only offer a 20% off not the 30% on the voucher, really great to see that it wasn’t just a “sorry I can’t do anything as it is a head office error “. We enjoyed the great food with friends and will definitely be back.

Very kind team & nothing was to much trouble. We asked for a quieter area on a Sunday afternoon via booking system. . The table was all set up for us on arrival . Prompt friendly service .

Great place with great food! The food took very long to get here though. I ordered a bacon and cheese burger and it took ages to get here. I arrived at 18:00 and got my burger at 19:40. I expected it since there are alot of people and it didnt cause me much trouble. It was worth it in the end though. The service is wonderful too since they came to check up on us and ask us if we wanted anymore drinks or to order more food. The atmosphere is also great, some kids tend to be there which might annoy you but their is a corner with toys that they usually stay by, in my experience anyway. Definetly must visit!

Our waitress was amazing, the was delicious x

Just wanted to say massive thankyou to staff and their wonderful chef. You made our birthday celebrations just perfect 👌

Brilliant restaurant with excellent food and service

Yes the restaurant was busy, but the delay between the first course was some 30 mins We have been regular visitors in the past but something has changed and we were very disappointed with our experience.

We found this place purely by chance even although we have visited Dumfries many times before . Looking for a drink and some lunch and a toilet break. Toilets clean and fresh so that’s a good start . Table Service another lovely touch . Staff very pleasant and obliging and the set lunch menu 2 course for £15 was just what we needed. Lovely tomato and basil soup with an unusual touch of having the herbs in an oil and this allows you to stir the herbs thoroughly through the whole bowl .👍. Very tasty . Bread a wee bit stale and perhaps out on butter per slice ? Main course was larger than expected ( given the price ). I had the fish goujons and the fish was fresh and tasty , a good size and no underlying stale oil taste which for me is a plus . Chips plentiful and well cooked . Hubby had the gammon steak and asked for fried egg and to hold the pineapple and he got two eggs which was lovely . My mushy peas were very tasty and one of the best portions taste wise that I have eaten . Garlic bread was tasty but perhaps rethink the presentation of it ? However all in all three cokes a large wine and two course set menu x 2 just over £50 oh and the side order garlic bread . Thanks guys it did what it said on the tin and a little more

Food excellent. Service excellent. Very courteous staff.

Delightful staff, very quickly served - delicious food. Plenty room for our family of six. Definitely be back.

A nice pub/restaurant, with a good atmosphere, the watier was friendly and efficient with a nice manner. The food was good, above average for chain pubs.

Food was lovely, staff were very friendly. The food arrived quickly even though we were a group of 15.

Staff were lovely, very friendly atmosphere. Good play area for the kids. Food was very tasty. Prices were higher than expected.

This was an excellent place to go staff were very friendly and knowledgeable especially Jennifer who served us she knew the menu well it was an unforgettable experience that I would repeat Well done marstons for employing a great member of staff

We came for lunch, the food was great, the service was even better, Jennifer is brilliant so knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly and chatty, definitely will be back!😊

Erin very pleasant and helpful. A credit to Lockards.

Lovely food the experience was made great by Jennifer who has a fantastic personality and lots of experience which was clear to us in our experience at Lockards farm 🥳 Thank you so much!

Food was good. Service was excellent

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! Went again Jan 25 for a late lunch and it was just perfect. All the food delicious and the service excellent. Thank you.

Friendly and extremely welcoming, all the team members were friendly and polite. Allergy questions asked and dealt with in a professional manner. Drink and food quality was really good for the price. Would definitely return

Great food and service especially from Mackenzie 😊 accommodated to our dietary needs, good knowledge of dishes, efficient & happy to help. We were very well looked after. Thanks again

Food and atmosphere was wonderful. Exceeded expectations. Pricing was very reasonable, and service was with a smile. We did find that others seated after ourselves were having orders taken first and that the table service was quite slow, despite us arriving in a quiet period before it started picking up. That wouldn't stop me from coming back, we were really impressed.

Great atmosphere from time entered service excellent food of a good standard at a fair price ..

All staff were great. Mackenzie in particular was amazing and really customer focused. Five stars for a fantastic job done at my niece’s 17th birthday large family meal.

Mackenzie was excellent dealing with a large party of varied dietary requirements. Thoroughly recommend the food was hot and good portion sizes.

Tasteless prawn cocktail, The burger was fine I suppose, the chips were cold and very few.

Lovely plate fish Chips mushy peas nice pint of lager

Beautiful meal for 5 people, service was exceptional and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Joseph our server for the evening was exceptional. We had prompt service when required and the food was impeccable, delicious and beautifully presented. Joseph made the evening welcoming and inviting and we will be back for plenty more visits.

Lovely place lovely staff and dog friendly ❤️

Amy, is a wonderful host and looks after us wonderfully. She is always a joy to see and makes sure service is both personal and professional

Booked for Christmas dinner. The food quality at best was from a discounted food store and reheated. No stuffing, either the turkey was not freshly cooked and carved and the veg was really poor. The service was non existent except when it was time to pay. Random but some tables got Christmas crackers and some (us of course) didn't so we asked for some, it was like skiing for the crown jewels. Anyway all in all it was a very disappointing experience. £96 for 2 of us !!!! One good thing, they catered week for dogs with water bowls and treats so that was appreciated

Popped in for lunch. Looked after by Erin. Great efficient and friendly service

Very pleasant & friendly, quick service, will come back

A nice selection of foods on the menus to choose from, including children's meals. My husband and I had 3 courses because there was so many lovely things we wanted to try. The food was amazing, it surpassed our expectations as we weren't keen the last time we visited a few years ago. We were glad we decided to give Lockards another try. Our food was fresh and made from obviously quality ingredients. Our children enjoyed their meals too and would like to return again soon. Service was friendly and professional. We definitely plan to visit again ☺️

Very friendly staff and the good was fabulous, would recommend and will definitely come back again.

Been a couple times with family, food nice and service has always been great

Second visit to this place. said to myself after the first I wouldn’t be back and wish I stuck to it. Thankfully didn’t have to pay for the inedible food only had to pay for drinks.

Would have given the food a four star if the desert had been the same one as advertised.

Christmas Day with family. Cannot praise this place high enough. Honestly, my aunt is in a wheelchair and the staff/table accommodation was great. The meal was superb and will be back next year for sure, God willing. Thank you for everything.

Nice place, great atmosphere, we been there on the Christmas dinner, the food was good and tasty.

We had a fantastic time having breakfast with Santa. The little one loved it! Staff were incredibly friendly and engaging with the children and had party games to play. Tea and coffee was good and food was absolutely lovely! We will be back and ill certainly recommend you to people we know! Thank you for helping to make Christmas that little bit more magical ✨️

Good hot food. Clean. Catering staff were courteous. The menu variety is very good.

A fabulous ‘Breakfast with Santa’ experience. Thank you to Erin & Jen for keeping the little ones entertained with the party games. Will definitely be back to do it all over again in 2025!! 🎅🏻

Food was great,tasty,clean place, welcoming staff, I totally recommend

Staff were absolutely brilliant. Really friendly and helpful in accommodating our seating request. Great atmosphere and delicious food. Thank you!

Shocking slow service 50 minutes for starters to arrive, at this time it was a lot quieter, food was nice bit then had to ask for mains to be served, felt rushed yet they are the ones who give you a two hour window. Sort your act out and light a fire under the chefs.

This food was not good. I gave 2 stars as the staff were quite attentive. I had turkey dinner. The turkey did not taste nice. The potatoes were not good. As for the brussel sprouts…. They were awful. Really awful. The starter of garlic mushrooms was okay. For a meal I didn’t really enjoy, I thought it was rather expensive.

Had a Pre Christmas lunch,food was fresh,piping hot and plentiful,and tasty.The staff were great and a hard working team at that,the place was clean and tidy,and tables were well spaced,so it was a relaxing meal.Well Done.

Good service, food good with two exceptions... pâté starter has nowhere near enough toast with it & as it's served on a very hot side plate, the pâté was literally melting. Leek, cheese and potato pie main looked and tasted good but some of the potato was still hard & under-cooked. Otherwise an enjoyable visit.

Had a pre Christmas dinner,,the food was fresh,piping hot,and plentiful,staff were great and hard working,the place was spotless, refreshing to see a place keeping up standards.Well done.

Absolutely beautiful roast dinner, hot, tasty good quality meal at very good price. Good attentive service throughout.

Had a Pre Christmas lunch at Lockards Farm Dumfries,,food was fresh,piping hot and plentiful and tasty.The staff were great and a hard working team,the place was clean and tidy,and tables were sensibly spaced for a relaxing meal. Well done 👍

A great restaurant with lovely friendly staff and very tasty menu

Don't believe the breakfast hype

Adequate parking, venue was roomy, clean and had nice décor. Staff very friendly and attentive. Good range of menu choice and food was delicious! Toilets very clean. Not overly priced so very good value for money. Will definitely return!

Pity there are only 5 stars in each section. Very friendly staff, food was excellent as usual, and very well presented. I really could not fault the full experience. Looking forward to taking my granddaughter on Sunday for breakfast with santa. I would certainly recommend Lockards, you won't be disappointed.

For my first time at Lockards I was blown away by both food and the atmosphere. Your servers are always happy and willing to have a laugh, from the moment we walked in Jen our server was absolutely out of this world with her humour and service always a smile and makes you feel so welcome! and can we just say, the food is absolutely out of this world! Just look at the plate for a sunday roast! I don’t have any bad words to say about Lockards, should be proud guys! Hats off to the chef too 🙏

We have visited here for evening meals which were great however the breakfast has been disappointing on 2 occasions and this puts me off visiting again.Firstly the good points.The waitress was lovely,tables were clean and place was quiet and empty.Our order was taken and we sat back to enjoy our drinks and wait for our food.I had ordered a pot of decaf tea but when it arrived it was earl grey which i really cannot stand.The waitress had not mentioned this and the last time i visited for breakfast they had regular decaf tea.When the food arrived i went to butter my toast but butter was rock hard,this was about 10.15 am so not exactly early.The bacon was not cooked.The waitress was very apologetic and gave up a big discount,but however lovely she was i would hesitate to come back.

Welcoming greeting. Initially impressed but found dirty cobwebs ceilings above our table, the black kind which says to me overlooked for a long period of time. Reserved for 7 people but table only set for 6 which also meant we needed another chair which we had to find ourselves from another table. Chair seat was dirty. Lack of zero drinks. Food .... Was good overall but our granddaughter order macaroni which was disgusting, dry and dominated by truffle. Children's menu poor offerings. Dessert choice not great, all chocolate ice cream or brownies. Btw who knows what Basque cheesecake is. I had brownie sundae which was ok but would prefer offerings of maybe gateau, apple pie, banoffee, creme brulé even trifle. No Christmas menu available on a Saturday? Disappointed. Was happy with overall prices. Sorry but unless menu, cleanliness and service improved our family wouldn't return again.

The food was beautiful nice and hot atmosphere was great. The service was brilliant. All staff very friendly would recommend lockards farm .

Great, friendly and helpful staff. Food was lovely and big plate fulls. Cocktails delicious. Good prices. Will be back

Excellent food and drink, the staff very good but like everything these days things are getting more expensive but i suppose that cant be helped.

Great staff, very friendly and can't do enough for you. Always smiling. Food is lovely and a great selection of drinks.

Excellent service from Julia and all staff Thank You

Julia was absolutely lovely! Nothing was to much bother! Thank you so much Julia for making our visit such a lovely experience
