Great service,good food from new menu,thanks to Sarah for your great service

I'd like to start by saying I never write negative reviews, I don't like doing it especially in the current climate when there's so much pressure on the hospitality industry but felt compelled to do so as this place is shocking. We were in for lunch a couple of days ago and waited over 45mins on 2 sandwiches from the set menu. The restaurant was very quiet and shouldn't be taking that long even during busy periods. When the sandwiches arrived they were dry and tasteless, the only thing good about the meal was the chips. When the bill came we were shocked it was close to £50 for a couple of barely edible sandwiches and some chicken nuggets for the kids. This wasn't our first time at the restaurant the last time was just as bad when we got 2 microwave currys and a rock hard naan for a similar price. I don't expect fine dining quality but if you are charging that much you at least need to make an effort. So yeah to sum up, great location, great parking, nice little kids park, slow service, basic pre prepared food and quite expensive. **2025 Update - Great experience this time around. Seems to be under new management and thriving. Food and service both excellent**

1st time at the Old Gatehouse after getting a 30% off voucher through our door. The food was amazing, clean plates from our 2 kids. Amazing service, in particular from Sarah who was brilliant at entertaining our girls. Will definitely be back again & recommend to our friends

Mixed grill was so tasty, really well cooked. Sarah our server was the best, 10/10

Very busy great family atmosphere great service had a bit of a wait to start but got compensated for our wait food is amazing

Came in for a couple of drinks, really nice cocktails and great bar service

Visited for lunch for the first time on a Monday afternoon. Great service from Sarah and food was delicious.

Visited for the first time today with my two children aged 8 and 10. We were sat quickly and staff were absolutely lovely, especially Sarah who was great with the kids. Food was fab too. Will definitely return.

Family evening out, very well mannered and helpful staff, shout out to Louise and Amy, food was great and very relaxed and laidback place to enjoy a family evening out.

The Old Gatehouse is not that old it being built in 2018 but is on the site of an old gatehouse.  It is set on its own and located about one and a half miles from Kirkintilloch. The interior is a fairly large L shape around the similarly shaped bar.  The decor is relatively bright and furnished with dark furniture.  Some seats are traditional dining chairs and others, dare I  say it, more comfy, padded seats.  There are a large number of picnic tables for when it's warm enough, a kids’ playground and a large car park. The menu offers a good choice of starters, main meals, steak & burgers plus desserts. There is a good selection of draught beers, wines & spirits.  We were all very happy with our choices of vegan Red Thai Curry, Beef Lasagne and Beetroot & Sweet Potato Burger.  The garlic bread that came with the lasagne was to die for! 😋 Our desserts were also great. Service was very nice and friendly.  We  were looked after by a few members of staff but special mention must go to Sarah for her warm and friendly manner. 😃

The hearty food and relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant makes you feel at home and with excellent customer service from Sarah combines to make a great experience, will be back.

Another great meal at the gatehouse. Sarah our server was a delight, fantastic service

Sarah our waitress was super friendly and attentive. Food was lovely and price was great for quality.

Our server Sarah was so friendly and lovely, made my wee boy laugh and smile lots which was a big help for my husband and I to give us space to enjoy our meal! It’s great for my husband to have vegan options, and overall very tasty.

Dining experience began well with drinks order placed and served quick then waited 50 minutes for our food order. My wife had to chase up and when sirloin steak arrived it had a rather tough texture for a medium rare preparation. Clearly staff were so busy and we were seated right at back of restaurant in doggy friendly section and usually when booking have table in main restaurant section. Very disappointed this occasion unfortunately. Evident the discount promotion last night made an impact on takings however service was just awful.

Sarah was very helpful and very polite

Great food. Love the Sunday roasts. Service is excellent with amazing staff.

Sarah was great, entertained the kids, was friendly and fun. Will come back

Sarah served us today and was so friendly and helpful

It was an ok experience. I was at the pub to wait on a bus - however the WiFi wasn't working and there was no reception, which made it impossible to monitor the bus. WiFi is a necessity these days so I would consider getting it fixed or upgraded.

Lovely tasty food tho could do with being a little hotter, but prompt really friendly service from Sarah our waitress. Very attentive and cheerful.

Sarah was an excellent host and took great care of us.
