Taddei's Takeaway 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

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.

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!

Great place with really nice food and super attentive staff in their ex-Police station. Really enjoyed our meal.

Pizza EXPRESS?!? No express about it! Went here for lunch while at Caledonia Retail Outlet. Staff member serving the tables was very polite, cheery & friendly - off to a good start...or so we thought. Time waiting for food after placing our order (1 half & half pizza + 1 portion of mozarella sticks) was around 45 mins. When the food eventually arrived the pizza was luke warm & over cooked - the pepperoni was dried out & when eating parts of the pizza it was like crunching on a bag of crisps. My husbands half of the pizza was slightly better as it had slightly more topping on it. Definitely wasn't worth the wait! We were going to order the golden chocolate caramel dough balls to take out but didn't want to wait/waste another 45 mins of the afternoon so didn't bother. Had eaten here before but following this experience, I don't recommend this Pizza "Express" & won't be returning.
