Stretched and Fired Cafe in Dumfries & Galloway

We eat at The Pheasant quite often, despite it being a 30 mins drive from home. Great homemade Italian food using local produce. Indulgent puddings. Pity it’s closed between November and March

This restaurant is an absolute gem! We visited there for dinner and the food was amazing! Huge portions and authentic American tastes! Though the food should be the star and it was we have to send special thanks to Cameron who went over and above the fantastic service we received. He actually took us back to our hotel in his own car as we couldn’t get a taxi. He offered straight away to take us to our hotel which was over and above anything I’ve ever received in a restaurant! In a nutshell if you want a fantastic meal with fantastic staff then do yourself a favour and visit The Hitchen Post you won’t be disappointed! Once again thanks to Cameron for a wonderful meal and a very much needed lift home!

Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. The lady who serviced us was just lovely. We got married the day before and were so disappointed that this restaurant was closed but managed to get in on our 1 day anniversary. I had the grilled lemon chicken with risotto with a mixed salad (out of this world) and my husband had a fungi pizza (also out of this world). And very reasonably priced too. All in all a lovely meal in a lovely restaurant with lovely staff.

I have had some good Italian food but the balsamic and small details in the food are great. The wine menu is okay but this is a little town and would it be worth it. Dessert was good too, personal choice would be sharper lemons on the cheesecake, but that is just me! Well done! Great food and you know your market.

Had a great meal today, staff helpful and friendly (helped us with our order choice). Decent prices, food tasty, clean seating area and toilets. Recommended.
