Table Table Solway Gate in Dumfries & Galloway

Used to dine here every second week. But closed to the public in Dumfries. So we will never dine in a Table table again the same as our friends. You decided to close to the public.

This place is not closed despite the advert. It is just Locals are not welcome!! Was refused a table as not staying in premier inn! Think this new policy is a disgrace. They will no doubt be crying out for business at times when the premier inn is not busy. It is discrimination. Some of the Staff were rude and unhelpful also. Will not be setting foot in the place again as very unwelcoming.

Stayed at Premier on site pub was closed only open for breakfast so had to find somewhere else to eat so went to aldi down the road for snacks

Saddened to hear that Whitbread have decided that from 5 July 2024 only residents of the hotel can have meals here. Also saddened to hear of the staff that have left due to redundancy. Wishing them all the best! Great breakfast and evening meals. Will be missed.

Excellent food . Friendly staff. Angela made us so very welcome and looked after us so well. Couldn’t do enough for us . So did Clair the manageress . Unfortunately this will be our last visit as they no longer want people who are not non residents . From 4 th July residents only allowed for food 🥲 will have to seek out breakfasts in the local area now

Father’s Day disaster!!! We visited on Father’s Day having pre booked our table, we arrived, seated, order taken, drinks arrived, over 30 mins later a member of staff came back to advise that our order had been lost but some of our food was prepared (strange!!!), then continued to tell us that everything in the kitchen was switched off and infact they would be closed for the remainder of the day due to staffing issues therefore they couldn’t fulfill our order unless it was something that could clearly be heated in a microwave!! This place gets worse and worse I wouldn’t recommend visiting!!

Tuesday 4th June 2024, at 5.30pm, While on holiday in Dumfries and Galloway. With my elderly mum, who is diabetic, along with my brother and his partner we went to table table for dinner. Although the restaurant was relatively empty, we were refused entry and told we would have to book, but not to bother, as they had a full restaurant. However, I made a online booking for 6pm, which was accepted. However, unfortunately my mum had to get her medication and we could not return to the restaurant. So why were we refused entry at 5.30pm, yet could be offered a table at 6pm. Shocking treatment. Will never be at brewers fayre again.

Had an overnight stay at Premier Inn to celebrate my grandsons 5th birthday as we were visiting a couple of local attractions. There was a good choice of breakfasts for all our age ranges from 5 to 70. Angela was just lovely and nothing was too much trouble for her. She was tremendous with the birthday boy and made his day with her very kind gesture. Would definitely go again. The food the previous evening was also good although service a little slow because there was a large party in. However this didn't affect the quality of our food. Staff also presented Cooper with his birthday cake which he was delighted with. Thanks to all staff.

This is a fantastic wee find! Great staff, in particular my server Therese, very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. There are a few nice tables tucked away for solo dining which is nice to see. Food is pretty standard, but cooked nicely and everything I had was tasty. In particular, the banoffee cheesecake which was absolutely delicious 😋

Visited here for a weekday catch up with friends and was very pleased with everything. Food is standard pub/restaurant fayre, good food, well cooked and lovely and hot when it arrived. I had the smothered chicken, my friends had chicken tikka and the big stack burger and everything was lovely and tasty. Will definitely come back here again, especially since we now know they have an £11.99 special for 2 mains during the week! Top stuff!

In over 30 years of staying in hotels, I have never had a worse experience. I have to travel a lot with work and stay in 15/18 hotels monthly and honestly, this was the worst yet I reserved a room in the attached Premier Inn, I selected dinner and breakfast package. I then reserved a table for 21:00 which was the last time slot on the menu I drove over from Ireland to arrive at 20:50, to be told our table was cancelled. They cancelled our table at 16:00, said they tried calling but I had no missed calls The place was empty so someone decided feck them, we will cancel the one table booked The attitude was terrible No wonder the place is empty, ask yourselves manager and owners, the car park was full with people staying in the premier inn, why can’t we fill a few tables Instead of price promotions, hire staff that actually care about your business and your customers

Brilliant as always. curry is superb & I’d highly recommend. Always get great service & nothing is too much trouble. Will be back

Not what we expected poor service and prices are on the high side staff are rude and unwelcoming the menu was changing overnight and items clearly not available

The staff were welcoming,friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good value and very tasty although not particularly warm. What spoiled the experience for me, was the disgusting state of the smoking area, out side the entrance of the building, the place for discarded cigarette butts was full to the brim, all round the lovely stones were hundreds of butts, the place looked an absolute mess, there was a family of Americans in the restaurant, God knows what they must have thought seeing that. It wouldn’t take long for someone to clear it up at least once a week . It’s a shame cause the building is really lovely.

A review of 2 halves Breakfast - really good. Full English was available. It was hot and replenished frequently (eggs, bacon, sausages, amazing hash browns, beans, black pudding). The continental was also plentiful with a good range of granola, crispness, pancakes, pastries, yoghurt, fruit, toast, spreads etc. Coffee, tea and orange and apple juice available. All you could eat. Staff took our names and we were left to our own devices to choose a table and help ourselves. Plenty of times to choose from in a nice warm dining room. Dinner We were shown to a table which had a draft and was really cold, completely different to the warm breakfast room. We ordered food and drinks. Our food arrived about 15-20mins later but drinks were nowhere to be seen. We asked for them to be chased and they came out 5minutes after that. The food was good. Pie, chips, gammon and scampi. (They didnt have any lasagne). It came out hot and was nice. Everyone cleared their plates. It was standard pub grub but there was a lot to choose from and something for everyone. Service wasn't good. No-one was in the same uniform although there did appear to be one of sorts, the person we think was the manager was dressed down in casual clothes and looked quite scruffy. One young waitress was asked to do something by her and told her she was going to do something else first. Seemingly dismissive of the request. We asked for the bill as the plates were cleared and then we had to ask again afterwards after getting the dress down lady's attention. Other people were going to the bar to collect their drinks themselves the service was so slow. It wasn't busy either so no idea what the hold up was. Once we got the bill no-one came to take payment so we went to the bar where another customer was also trying to pay. So overall breakfast was brilliant and the food across both sittings was good. But the evening staff really let the venue down by their lack of efficient service and attention to customers.

Absolutely loved our breakfast for the family this morning. Extremely good value for money. Staff so kind too as we got there a bit late. Thanks.

Wonderful all you can eat breakfast, and many thanks to Angela for her excellent service. Looking forward to returning in the near future.

5/5 service from my waitress I cannot remember your name, Kayla I think but you were working 13th February! food was good and staff were fantastic could not fault them

We had visited the previously as a large family so we accrued several vouchers for meals with the loyalty scheme, the first night the manager was working, every thing was fine but the second night was a disaster, we ordered the food which took about an hour and a half to be fully served, there was about 10 of us , 2 meals came out after about 20 minutes, but the wrong order , I approached the bar area several times to enquire on the food, to the end it just became a joke, the duty manager a young lady just said what could she do , she then blamed our party for not booking a table , ?!?! Don’t know why that was relevant, she then blamed us again for using the loyalty vouchers, another young lady tried to resolve the situation by offering a sweat or hot beverages, then another young lady chipped in by saying she was only 17 and didn’t get paid to resolve issues like this, I explained at NO point was any agressive or bad language used to which she said the fact I’d complained at the bar was not right, or something in that manor , I do think that the young 17 year old and the cook should keep there relationship behind closed doors, as it’s not professional kissing behind the bar and in from of customers, the food did eventually come out cold but by this time all faith was lost in the table table Dumfries, we visited Dumfries several times a year and this place will not be visited again, please if anyone from whitbreads wants to contact me please do so,

AWFUL. Waited 45mins for order to be taken, then told that what we wanted wasn’t available! Ended up with a meal we didn’t want which took another 30mins to arrive. Didn’t look anything like the photograph.. Meal so awful sent it back to kitchen. Retired to bed hungry(stayed overnight at Premier Inn) Breakfast not much better,poor quality and COLD. Won’t be back.

We went as a family , because my Grandson was home from Uni in Dundee , he is 21, and with his Sister 14, Mum Dad Grandmother and Grandfather, the waitress asked for ID when he ordered a pint of Guinness , he did not have his id with him, but as he was with 4 adults from his family, and not a group of young people, i would have thought our assurances that he was over age would have been enough. No , she would not take our word for it. and he had coke . We booked the table for 6pm, and it was 7.15 before our meal arrived, with some items missing. No one returned to our table to ask if we needed anymore drinks, so i went to the bar, there were 4 members of staff stood talking around the till area, i ordered drinks and one of the orders was for a pint of Guinness , the waitress immediately snapped "who is this for !?" .... I said it was for my husband, he is 70, so i did not think there should be an issue, ... I was then told that there was no Guinness .... !! .... I cant help thinking if my Grandson had ordered larger, he may not have been asked for id ! ..... Anyway, The food took forever, it was not that great, there were items missing, the service was terrible, slow, and not at all friendly staff , all in all what should have been a nice family meal was rubbish. Wont be back .

Arrived around 7.15 for a 7.30 table. Ordered the food at the bar 10 minutes later. 8 adult meals and a kids meal. 1 hour and 40 minutes later, a child’s ice cream sundae arrived. This was ordered as the kids 3 course deal but as the starter or main course hadn’t arrived yet, this was sent back to the kitchen. 2 meals came out 5 minutes later. The curry was cold and the scampi and chips on the other meal were cold. 20 minutes had passed until another 4 meals came out, 1 was completely wrong but the restaurant would be closed by the time we got it if we had to order another meal to replace it. We had to keep asking at the bar where the meals were as they were all ordered at the same time. The staff behind the bar have every excuse under the sun as to why the meals are delayed. So this is obviously a common occurrence. 15 minutes later the last meals arrive at the table. The only 2 hot meals of the night. Some members of the staff are unable to deal with any complaint and one started to make a scene as they stormed away behind the bar making comments about the complaints made. We were informed there were waitresses brought into the kitchen to make these meals we are waiting on. Absolutely shocking if you ask me. The offer was free desserts as a gesture. I’m sorry but it was past 9pm at this point. Do not expect good service or a kind response if you need to send anything back to the kitchen. I mean, hospitality is reported to be on its knees. You think there would be some sort of effort put into resolving these situations if it’s a common theme in this place. Absolutely no chance any of the party who come 4 or 5 times a year will return to the restaurant after the service tonight.

Three lovely dinners and three tasty breakfasts. All the staff were pleasant but a big shout out to Angela - who was so welcoming and helpful. Thank You.

Me and my partner here tonight brilliant service and amazing food left absolutely stuffed can’t complain we will be back

The team in the morning were great My Server Angela was very helpful and took my order promptly the food was spot on all cooked to my Preference Bravo Team Solway Gate

I had a great experience in this wee place. Food was excellent, staff were very welcoming and friendly, premises were pristine (including toilets) and you get a very reasonable price for your food (we were there for breakfast). A special shout to Angela (and her...

Angela couldn't have been any kinder. I was here on business eating alone, always feels a bit conspicuous. She was so friendly. Breakfast was excellent, had the full works which set me up for the day. Ate here last night as part of the Premier...

Absolutely awful me and my friends ended up being sick for days! Never again will I be going here and staff are so pushy can’t even get 2 mins to decide what you want… worst experience. Also changed menu and yet half of the stuff...

Food was spot on pan o chocolates were to die for staff were amazing especially the girl with long black hair sorry to hear ur leaving u will be a loss to the company Kat couldn’t have been any more helpful cheery morning for breakfast

Stay here often with work and get an allowance for the restaurant. Been visiting for years and the service is always terrible. The length of time you wait for a drink and food order is an average of 30 mins from being seated. Once you...

Tonight I would rate my experience as zero. Staying in the hotel and couldn’t get a table for dinner until 7.30pm. I was advised they were very short staffed, so would be a little later - which I totally understood. I’ve many years of experience...

Great breakfast and food,lovely staff,highly recommended would come again,plenty parking facilities, easy to get to

A convenient stop off prior to ice skating at the Ice bowl with my Son. Being a Table Table the food is fairly standard and you know what you’re getting.. what makes this place stand out is its staff. On arrival we were greeted by...

Great food, great service. Called in on a day out not too busy but dtaffvery friendly and helpful. Food was above expectation. Had a lunch special, I had fish and chips, the wife the smothered chicken. Both excellent 👏

This Whitbread bar/restaurant is located on the outskirts of Dumfries, next to the town’s by-pass, and its core clientele are likely to be guests of the Premier Inn next door. We reserved a table for an evening meal via check-in at the Premier Inn in...

Went for dinner with a group of friends one of whom was celebrating her 80th birthday. Had intended taking some candles but forgot them so spoke to our server who said she would see what could be done. When the desserts arrived our friend had...

Don't go here. Although the server was lovely, the kitchen got both the starters and main courses wrong, waited over an hour between courses. The standard of food was not good. Thank heavens for decent desserts.

Went for a Christmas lunch. No Cranberry sauce. No stuffing. Plates arrived with no pigs in blankets or sprouts. Said the chef forgot to put them on. Don't get the chicken with all the alledged trimmings. I was pretty disappointed. Chicken looked processed and it...

Lovely place, Chris was amazing, so attentive and very on the ball, had turkey from festive menu and gravey was cold, sent back and dealt with very quick tho not keen on frozen veg, rest of meal lovely for the price, would recommend but not...

We were staying at the premier inn next door who sold us a meal deal so we were tied in to going back for breakfast after we’d had dinner. Both were terrible. Not even good value for the quality of the food. I have to...

I have my lunch most days at the restaurant as I work nearby and I only have the vegan meals which are delicious.

The food was fine but I wanted to comment on the service. Sophie my server was exemplary and had an incredibly smiley and kind demeanour which your brand should be so proud of. Thank you.

Absolutely disgusted that a member of staff spoke to paying customers like rubbish and all because of a misunderstanding over some miscommunication had they come and spoke to us like adults instead of speaking to us like rubbish maybe they would have had repeat customers...

We bought the meal deal which included breakfast at the Premier Inn and dinner in this restaurant. Everything we wanted was an extra charge .My starter of mushrooms was so hard you could have beaten them off the wall .They did replace them for EXACTLY...

Stayed at the Premier Inn next door which we highly recommend also, but this review is to say how excellent the service and our meals were at this Table Table. It is the best one we have visited. Special mention to staff members Freya and...

Nice tasty meal and nice place and good location for people traveling to the North of Scotland. There is a premier inn hotel next door so its perfect.

Stayed half board with premier inn so had dinner and breakfast. Breakfast was lovely and no issues. Food was good for the dinner but the service is very poor. We ordered desserts and another round of drinks and after 20 mins we gave up as...

There to celebrate my birthday and once again we were bowled over with the quality of the food and the service that we received. The only downside to our visit was the poor surface of most of the tables in the restaurant, the tops all...

The staff were so comfortable and happy music was great made me relaxed and welcome really enjoyed my experience

This restaurant services the Premier Inn next door. We arrived early and went in for lunch which was awful. I got a tiny plate of tacos with brown gung on top for £9.48. There was no soap in the Gents. We'd been sold a meal...

Found this little resteraunt at the end of our vacation. we had a family meal on Thursday night, then breakfast friday and sat morning amazingly friendly staff, and the food was also excellent xx

What a shocker. We had four meals and after waiting forever had to send three of them back meaning we couldn't eat together. The fish was mostly batter with a few brown looking pieces of "haddock" hidden inside. (The waitress agreed) The steak came without...

Have been going there on a regular basis and it is usually good. Arrived at 5.15 (booked for 5.30) as we had to be away by 6.45 to go to a meeting. Intended to have 3 courses. Starter and main course ordered and starter served...

We visited this pub on a quiet Sunday lunchtime. The pub shares its car park with a Premier Inn and so there were plenty of parking spaces available. The pub itself was pretty standard but had a nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful....

Terrible atmosphere! Terrible staff!Terrible food .complaints to long to explain so everything was just terrible.

The food within this establishment had been highly recommended so we decided to meet with friends to enjoy a lovely meal, how wrong were we?! On arrival we were informed that we would have to be seated within the bar area as the restaurant was...

Previous visits were OK (pre Covid), this was disappointing. It's a great location, easy to find and good parking. Pre eating drinks were good, but unfortunately we had to go back and ask for the drink that we were told would be brought over. On...

Had lunch the day was fresh and hot. Staff was helpful would recommend going. Spicy chicken burger was very nice and garlic bread

Would definitely not recommend to anybody using the premier inn next door . Or elsewhere in Dumfries. Food not as advertised service very slow and please DONT complain as the manager throws his dummy out

Dinner out with family,normally your seated by someone,this time a rude lady told us to sit where we wanted.We sat down and a lovely lady checked if we were ready to order drinks.Next was the same lady who told us to sit where we wanted,came...

I had 2 courses as part of a meal deal from the hotel next door . Tomato soup as a starter. The soup was nice but the bread that came with it was dry, as if it had been left out all day Second course...

Very friendly staff, good food. Asked for extra scrambled eggs.....and did I get extra ha ha ha Was in for dinner the night gefore, very nice sirloin steak

Great breakfast today and amazing service from Angela. Very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back again! Thanks!

Brilliant as always. New curry is superb & I’d highly recommend. Always get great service & nothing is too much trouble

We had a great meal here served by a very nice waitress who could not do enough for you. The menu was very typical pub grub with a large choice. The food was exceptionally good and we all very much enjoyed the meal there.

We ordered burgers with drinks . Drinks took 15 minutes, food took nearly 1 hour. The burgers were the cheapest, thin type you can get. Chips were basically the type you get frozen. Worst meal I’ve had for years.

We've eaten at 'The Solway Gate' on a number of occasions in the past and todays meal was once again first class. My wife had the Haddock & Chips and I had the Smothered Platter, both meals were fantastic along with the service that we...

From the start the waitress was miserable and clearly didn’t want to be their. Starter was lovely hot and fresh. Main course came before we had finished our starter, never a good thing, salad was dry and limp, fish and chips cold and under cooked....

Food portions tiny for the price paid! Wondered where the mash was, under the pie & not enough to feed a child. Wouldn't go here again.

We recently had a long weekend in Dumfries and decided to have diner at The Solway Gate. What a pleasant place. The staff were friendly and also it is dog friendly so we were able to take our Chi in with us. The menu was...

We ate here while stopping at the Premier Inn. The food was good and the services was quick and efficient.

Unbeatable for breakfast in the area. Staff brilliant, thanks Angela, as helpful as always. Will be back

This is the 3rd or 4th time I have stayed at the attached premier inn and had food at the Solway Gate and although the food is good, the whole experience is made even better by the breakfast staff. I spend half my life travelling...

On our arrival we received a very friendly warm welcome from Ash the manager. The breakfast was an all you can eat continental and full English style buffet, all fresh high quality produce. There was a great selection of food on the hot plate which...

Visited recently and had a very enjoyable evening with friends. Food arrived quickly and was tasty. Staff were friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back!

My wife and me went to this restaurant without a reservation where we were given an unprepared table for two. Sometime later the waitress came over to take order and the problem started from there, my wife was asking for sparkling water and the waitress...

Excellent, Angela our waitress was exceptional and couldn’t do enough for us.. So nice to go somewhere and get good customer service. Food was hot and plentiful and regularly filled up. Couldn’t fault it 😊

Arrived because our office been closed due to an event. Staff were very helpful and allowed me and my team to continue to work while having an amazing breakfast! We will be doing a monthly team breakfast moving forward.

I was in there on Tuesday. I asked for chicken goujon burger roll. No goujons left so accepted chicken breast. What I didn’t know was the chicken was raw before I had taken a bite. I was then attended by 2 members of staff who...

We made the mistake of attempting dinner here last night. The food was essentially thrown at the plate and there was plenty of plate because the portions were tiny. The prices are horrific for what you get and it's all dinged micro rubbish. Basically go...

Start with the positives. The staff here are always very friendly and helpful. The negatives during this stay: Even though the place was moderately busy, the staff couldn’t seem to cope. I’ve stayed here loads of times and this is the first time I’ve seen...

The service was extremely poor and we felt completely ignored throughout the entire meal. The restaurant was practically empty around 2pm yet no one came to check up on us until after the meal was over and we wanted the bill. A waitress took us...

Not great is the quick version. Service was slow and food very average at best. Good chips though. Asked for cheese on the burger but never got it. Took a while to get the waiters attention to order ice cream. Order wasn't correct with this...

One was rump and the other sirloin, one with chips and peas and the other with a Cobb salad. Very enjoyable, exactly as advertised and a reasonable atmosphere

Stayed here for a night on our way to Mull. Evening meal was fine. Breakfast was another story. Really disorganised and it was a "help yourself from the hot plates" affair. Food wasn't rotated well and therefore it wasn't as hot as it could have...

Have been a couple times with friends from work after a night shift. Ideal place to pop in for a early bite. Greeted by a lady named Angela and a younger lady which were both helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was superb and filling as always...

What a great find tge steak n ale pie my daughter had the 3 course meal deal for children 😉. Her steak was perfectly cooked and enough for her to finish. Would definitely go again for a good filling meal

Order sausage mash and peas was hot and got mushrooms and garlic bread with cheese very Nice. Food was fast and good place to eat

Had breakfast here. Lots of delicious food to choose from and staff very helpful. Will be back. Was busy but it looked like they were coping ok.

Both me and my wife received a warm welcome and shown to our table by Angela who is super along with Alex the manager both ladies excelled above and beyond. We will have breakfast again most definitely.

This restaurant is first class the staff especially Heather and Angela could not have been more helpfull . And the breakfast was to die for Eat as much as u like along with tea , coffee and fruit juice . Heather and Angela are a...

Lovely breakfast . 3 very nice ladies and manager very friendly. Easy to get to and near lovely Annan

What a lovely evening we had! We went as it’s a family friendly restaurant, and the kids meal portion sizes were huge!! So reasonably priced too. The adults meals were great- I recommend the trio of pies! Excellent customer service from Kiara, she was lovely...

Great food, great service! Came here with family, we were greeted by the Manager, Ash who took drinks orders and talked us through the menu. Food was hot, children's meals were great portions and it was a great pint. We were served by Keira who...

The restaurant was fairly empty - we had a double dish of trio pies The chips had sat for ages, the gravy was full of skin & lumps. The pies were very gel looking and not nice. The mushy pea substitute was very dry and...

Great all you can eat breakfast with loads of options for the whole family. Hot and plentiful, perfect way to start the morning. Free for the kids too!

Stopped off on way back from Glasgow, very handy it’s location when your doing the backroads. Food was hot and plentiful, team very friendly and helpful whenever I needed anything

Visited with family for lunch. The waitress was so miserable she sucked all the life out of the room and made you feel depressed. You certainly wouldn't invite her to the party! Main meals were luke warm with chips, peas, beans all cold but didn't...

Absolutely 10 out of 10, had a smashing breakfast and lunch high quality food, amazing service, I would definitely recommend getting booked up at table table

A friend and I have a unique interest in Pub Restaurants, particularly Brewers Fayre, Dumfries was a good location for us to meet up but unfortunately it's Brewers Fayre had changed to Table Table some years back. All that remains of those days is the...
