The Anglers Inn in Perth & Kinross

Fabulous place - well worth the drive out of Perth!

Unfortunately we have to give a very bad but honest review of our first and last visit to this restaurant. We visited on Mother’s Day ( carvery) Set price £24 adults and £5 kids under 5. Disaster. No bread on the table for soup until we asked for it. Soup tasted like packet soup! Main meal. Three choices of meat which were okay. The veg, where do I begin? Aunt Bessie’s roast potatoes and disgusting. Carrots were definitely frozen as they were rubber and hard to taste. Cauliflower was okay and peas. No Yorkshire pudding when I went up? Gravy and that was that! Certainly not enough veg to choose from . Desert was worse. Tiny meringues filled with cream. Slices of cake and once again was not replenished! According to the owner there was apple pie etc but I did not see any at all! The owner was hugging and greeting all her friends on leaving but we left without any acknowledgment at all. A disgrace! On messaging the owner to explain and give private feed back as I didn’t want to be unkind by highlighting it on trip advisor. She replied back stating they had deaths in the family and illnesses etc. Not sure how this connects with bad quality food ? Meant to also mention the crockery was like school dinners? This is only our opinion and it’s a very honest opinion. We would never set foot in this establishment again ! You don’t deserve to get trade. Donna H

New owners have taken over and the food is lovely.

Went for the 'opening night' for the new owners and the carvery and atmosphere were superb, very busy but the staff and food were superb and attentive. Will definitely go back. Recommended the carvery!!

This place is closing because the owner has been unable to get customers and has decided enough is enough. It must be difficult because it's out in the country and beer and food are cheaper from the supermarkets I guess. The owner has tried by putting on a few events that weren't very well attended because unfortunately he sent a whinging letter to everyone in the village saying it was the residents fault his business was failing because they weren't supporting him. Eh?, no wonder no one will go to the place lol, no matey, it's entirely YOUR fault. Nothing interesting about the venue, overpriced and dull. The locals hate it.

Absolutely lovely little place to stay if ur looking for a quiet getaway in between Blairgowrie and Perth. Although I will say Buses are every 2hrs which isn't good if u didn't want to drive! Taxi service is not that great either but on the good side it's about a 10min drive to Scone Palace if u fancied a day at the races..about half an hr to Blairgowrie and 15mins to Perth all by car! Hotel itself serves Breakfast lunch and Dinner and wld advise booking prior..it has about 4 rooms so not too busy but always busy on the food side! Rooms are on-suite and clean so always a bonus. Hotel itself is run by Owner Ryan and his Mum Linda helps out a lot..Absolutely lovely people and will help in any way they can..staff are so friendly too (lovely girls) Hotel has a Bar which is great but does close rather early if Hotel isn't busy which is understandible! There is no shops around so bring what u need if not planning on going anywhere while there..Price is reasonable for rooms so yeah check it out and see for urself 😊

Absolutely superb place with excellent food 👌🏻

Another great meal in guildtown Fantastic food and service Best place for good food and service Get to guildtown ASAP you will definitely enjoy the food

Very good food. A notch above normal pub grub. Pity it was empty on a Saturday evening. Would thoroughly recommend for a very good evening meal at reasonable prices.

Very good place for food and drinks and staff are very welcome and friendly

Didn't stay at the hotel but popped in for a pint & a burger brilliant place staff are friendly & very helpful & the food is delicious.

We stayed near by and stopped in for an evening meal. It was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend stopping for food. Loads to chose from we all agreed it was the best meal of our trip.

Friendly staff, great value for money and the best food we had on Scotland so far. We absolutely loved it! Highly recommend!

First visit here and definitely won't be the last. Great, friendly service. Food was fantastic, fresh and quality was great. Decent size portions too 😁

First visit here and definitely won't be the last. Great, friendly service. Food was fantastic, fresh and quality was great. Decent size portions too 😁

Late lunch Nachos for two very nice layered chilli and cheese with three dips awesome when the chilli and cheese is all the way through the chips instead of just dumped on top 😁 I would Def have them again. Steak pie with potatoes top effort great taste and lovely veg. Lamb and mint burger 🍔 just a slight hint of mint so you know it's there and not too over powering very nice. We will Def be back to try more of the menu Thank you Anglers Inn

Lovely little place. We were staying up the road at beech hedge caravan park so decided to venture the 5 minutes to anglers inn. Huge portions. Great value for money. We were lucky to get there before the "kids eat free" ended so that saved us nearly £20 on the bill which was brilliant! Our waitress (sorry I didn't get your name, our son threw a spoon to you from under the chair) was brilliant! Would definitely visit again if in the area! So reasonably priced for the amount of food you get and plenty on the menu for everyone

Excellent service the staff were great food excellent. The Breakfast this morning was amazing best haggis I've tasted.

Good food and service from all staff Best steak pie in area Nice pint off Tennants lager Will be back as soon as we can and recondmend this place to everyone

Arrived in a motor home to have a stop over - yeah the access was tight but achievable in a Autotrail Apache. The welcome was nice and the local made us feel at home making it a really great stopover. We had a lovely meal at very reasonable cost. great dog walks We will return

We were delighted with our lunch at Anglers Inn. The service was friendly & helpful. The portions were very generous & more than good value for money. Definitely recommend.

Excellent meal, fantastic value for money and great service. Large portions. Well worth a visit for lunch or dinner.

We went for an evening meal with friends mid week and had a lovely meal . 2 had the steak pie which they said was excellent, other 2 had sea bass with rice and again it was excellent . All well cooked and presented. Forgot the name of lady behind the bar but she was friendly , chatty and very helpful . I would certainly go back and I hear their Sunday lunches and worth a try

Excellent friendly service and fabulous Sunday lunch!👌

we have just moved into the village, loved our meal last week could not asked for more friendly staff . enjoyed our few drinks at the bar last night. looking forward to spending more time at our new local !

Had the carvery with my husband and mum .

Lovely Sunday lunch very good price Bus service back to Perth rubbish though cost us 25 quid lol

Visiting my niece who took me here for a carvery- can honestly say it’s the best I’ve had- great service from a warm and friendly staff- worth coming all the way from London - will definitely be back- thank you

Went in for lunch for my birthday with my daughter, waiting staff were lovely and friendly Difficulty choosing what to order, I had the Thai green curry with chicken, it was great, my daughter had the fajitas she said they were fantastic. Of course we had a dessert we had cheesecake and I had a banoffee pie. Will definitely be back with more of the family.

We had very good lunch today the macaroni was first class And so was the pudding All fantastic and definitely will be back

Excellent food served here, friendly efficient service, we'll be back

We had been a few times pre Covid years for their wonderful carvery, and booked for the last one (4 of us ) hoping it would be as good. It certsinly did not disapoint, the meats , Beef Gammon & Turkey, roasties , yorkies, veg cauli cheese plus many others were really tasty. Great value for money , and lovely staff . Looking forward to booking our next one. Thank you.

We attended for an evening meal, the food was good, steak pie with nice crispy crust, plenty of filling and hot chips, the wine was reasonable and good. All at a reasonable price. The only downside was that it was uncomfortably cold. We had jumpers on, too. Sadly, we rushed due to this.

Delicious food, very friendly staff they couldn't do enough for us. Lovely village pub, very reasonably priced, they need all the support from both villagers and others outwith Guildtown. Highly recommend 👌

Great value , lovely staff . We will be back soon

3 visits over the past few months and unfortunately every visit I was met by either bad food or poor service. On one occasion it was both. The blonde waitress wasn’t very pleasant and made us feel awkward when we asked to simply move table. We were rushed through our meal as the kitchen staff were due a break, unsure why they would allow us to book a table to close to the time where they close the kitchen. We booked for Christmas Eve and sadly again were met with unacceptable behaviour, staff standing at the door with their coats on having turned the Christmas tree lights off, I’ve never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant…….I guess it was time to leave!!!

Great food. Good sized portions, not too big not to small. Good quality food at a great price. Nice comfortable and cosy restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff.

Stayed here for a night. Good food and staff very helpful. Nice clean rooms 👌

Had a lovely lunch here not so long ago . Staff very friendly . Would love to go for dinner one night but seems to close rather early or is shut . Preferred it years ago when it was always open late .

Very dog friendly, lovely staff, gorgeous food and great value

Had a great Carvery here which is served every second Sunday. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

We walked in about 5pm on Sat 13 though they only had 1 chef, who had been in since 8am,charming waitress and the lovely boss lady we got a table. The meal we had was very good, could not fault it. Next time will book a table, really nice place to have a meal.

Used The Anglers Inn as a base for 2 nights whilst we attended The Open in St Andrews (could not book anything closer). Great little place. Decent sized room with all the basics you need for a short stay. Staff were lovely and helpful. We had also booked breakfast but had to leave early both mornings so they packed us lunches instead. Ate there the first evening and the food was lovely.

We stopped by for a glass off coke as we were out walking, the barmaid was very helpful and carried out drinks to the beer garden for us

Fantastic service and food here

Good food and good service. Dog friendly tables.

Just fab. Fab surroundings, fab food, fab service. Couldn't ask for more.

Very good pub food, served by really lovely ladies. Dog 🐕 friendly. I would of posted photos of the food, but tbh I ate it all before I thought of doing it 😂

Had a great time here the hotel is small. But we were here mid February. Think we’re we’re the only couple staying here The restaurant was half full. When we ate. The food we had was lovely no complaints whatever had a couple of drinks in bar before dinner. After dinner back to bar we were the only people in bar as it’s of season. Had a great chat with Ellis I think that her name very informative girl made our night thank would return to hotel if in area again.

We visited the Anglers Inn on Friday 11th Feb, our booking was at 6pm. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our table (next to a radiator so nice and cosy!). My boyfriend ordered the steak pie, and I had the fish combo (a small piece of battered haddock with scampi too). The food arrived quickly, was piping hot and freshly cooked, can't fault it! We both remarked on how good the hand cut chips were and my boyfriend rated the steak pie a strong 4.5 out of 5! The fish was delicious, well cooked and great to be able to have a combo.We had room for dessert, I had the banoffee pie, and he had the cheesecake, both were phenomenal, the cheesecake was light and sweet (had to try!), the tablet was delicious. The banoffee pie was the best I've had and the ice cream accompanying each dessert was lovely. Throughout our visit the service was friendly, efficient and not over bearing, we had everything we needed. My only minor feedback, and this could just be me, but the bell to let the staff know the food was ready was a bit loud, but I can understand that needs must later in the evening when full.Overall a lovely meal in a warm, clean, welcoming setting, we'll definitely be back - thank you.

Food was delicious, and the staff were warm and welcoming. The quality of the food was fantastic, and the prices were great! Will definetly be back!

We had a lovely lunch/early dinner. Food was lovely. Place is clean. Prices are good.I would visit again, not because of the above, but because of the lovely warm and friendly person who served us. She was so helpful and attentive. Great front of house service.

Wonderful Sunday lunch What a gem of a place Cosy atmosphere and delicious food Roast beef perfect and as for kitkat cheesecake 👍

Visited with family and hugely impressed by friendly, attentive and generous staff. We had a drink in the bar and then dinner in the restaurant, staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us ( and our dog !) Food was really good we all had starters, mains and desserts. Fish and chips were big with well cooked hand cut chips, Stand out for me was the Brownie dessert which had lovely pieces of honeycomb and excellent chocolate sauce and ice cream. Big portions with good seasoning, fresh and lovely presentation. Staff were really good at making sure everyone had drinks and were happy.Our dog was made to feel so welcome with a blanket, water bowl and treats . Such a lovely touch from the owners. All Covid safety measures were in place and adhered to.

Visited The Anglers Inn for dinner with a friend. We had not booked a table but called and managed to get a table for us at a good time. After a short drive to get there we arrived, parking is at the rear of the property. As is the main access to the inn. All covid protocols in place in the restaurant of the inn which is good to see. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived. Staff were friendly and welcoming and showed us to our table. Track and trace in place, menus offering a fair array of dishes for each course. We were given time to look at the menus and had our drinks orders taken. Ordering our food was straight forward, we both ordered the garlic mushrooms for our starters. The mushrooms were lovely but not outstanding, maybe a little thicker garlic sauce but that is my personal preference. The main meals, I ordered the lasagne and my friend ordered the roast beef dinner. After a short wait we were served our meals. My friend was disappointed with the roast beef dinner, a little lacking in some foods you would maybe link with a Sunday Roast. Maybe a few brussel sprouts, cauliflower cheese etc could be added to bulk up the presentation. My lasagne was nice but a lot of oil in the dish which took away from the taste. I did not finish it all. We ordered dessert, both of us had sticky toffee pudding. The dessert was very good. The staff are lovely, the restaurant and inn is too but although the food was fair to good, it could be better. It is constructive feedback. I would return and try some other dishes, to make a final comparision from our first visit.

Both my wife and myself had the steak pie, meat was delicious and tender in a rich gravy. The hand cut chips and fresh veg were both on point. Finished off with the homemade sticky toffee pudding and white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. You can taste the difference homemade. A must visit.

We were lucky to lunch 24 September 2021 when the new menu launched. Great choice of foods including gluten-free. If you like chocolate the Crunchie Brownie Stack is for you! Great service & food. Well worth a visit.

In the room the shower did not work and the bathroom door did not close. When this issue was raised the response was unacceptable. There was no other suitable room and so in our opinion a small reduction in price would have been appropriate but to brush the incident aside by saying that because the customer (an 18 year old, non confrontation boy) wasn't too fussed is verging on dishonest. I spoke at length with Ryan and it was obvious that his principles are very different from ours. Only book if you can accept any problems may not be dealt with appropriately.

We would definitely recommend this restaurant. We had a lovely meal. Great quality food well cooked and incredibly reasonably priced.

Can i start by saying that this is a lovely pub to stay in.My room although quite basic suited the needs . The bed was very comfortable and i slept well. Ryan, Arran, and Mark one of the chefs there made me feel more than welcome . Very friendly people running the establishment . I must apologise i cannot remember the name of the lady who serves breakfast but she was very chatty and polite. The food here is unbelievable ,breakfast was cooked well and the evening meals were delicious. If I'm ever near there again would not hesitate to stay there.Thank you very much for making me feel so welcome.

Located a few miles north of Perth the inn is situated on a fairly busy but not intrusively noisy main road. It is particularly convenient if you are visistiong Scone Palace. We had requested a room with a walk in shower and were allocated the only room with this facility which was a large and comfortable room.Unfortunately there was a problem with the hot water supply to it- but what counts when problems arise is the response - which was excellent. We were immediately offered an alternative room which, as it was for one-night only, meant the absence of the shower type was not a major problem.They offered to move our luggage etc for us. The 'new' room was smaller but of a perfectly adequate size, very clean and with a great bed. We ate in the hotel that evening and the food then, and for the morning breakfast, was of good quality and nicely cooked and served. The standard of hospitality throughout was excellent and the observance of COVID restrictions by staff provided a worry-free stay. We shall definitely stay there again if we venture north.

Excellent meal, friendly efficient staff, dog friendly, covid restrictions all dealt with no drama now if the could only widen the entrance to the car park it would be perfect !

Lovely friendly staff and owner, had a wonderful 3 day stay. Comfortable room, great food, would definitely recommend.

Food was very good and not expensive . Lovely welcoming staff . Dog friendly . Would visit again and would recommend .

Great friendly service. Food excellent and very reasonably priced. Had fajitas and steak pie and we were both very happy with our meals.

Lovely little restaurant close to Perth and Blairgowrie. Excellent tasty food at very reasonable prices all served by welcoming and friendly staff. And dogs are made most welcome with water and treat. So if you are in the area bodyswerve the gross Wetherspoons in Blairgowrie and head here instead.

Amazing food and service, we stayed overnight and our room was lovely. Breakfast kept us going all day. Will be back once the carvery opens again as have been before and would highly recommend.

Great outdoor seating area, food is perfect in the last 3 weeks i have had the fajitas and the fajita pizza, there is always enough food and tastes great cant fault this place

Visited for dinner on a Wednesday evening. Our server Arran was friendly and made us very welcome. The food was so tasty and the cheesecake was the best we had tasted. So light and fluffy! The bill was very reasonable too. I would definitely return when back in the area.

My boyfriend and I visited the Anglers Inn while staying in Perthshire for a few days. Would 100% recommend, food was amazing, staff were very so nice and very friendly. Excellent value for money, portions a very decent size!! Absolutely loved it, will definitely come back next time we’re near Perth :)

We ate at the anglers tonight, excellent food, well presented, and good portion size. Very friendly staff and highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our lunch here today, tasty food and great friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

Stayed here on the way to and back from Orkney in September 2020. A total pleasure. Very friendly welcome, great room and very comfortable. Had bar meal on the way north and breakfast both times. All was excellent. Totally dog friendly with good walks nearby Will return on our next trip to Orkney.

Travelling to Inverurie on Thursday 1st October 2020, we were going to stop in Perth for lunch but couldn’t get parked so we kept driving and when we got to Guildtown and saw The Anglers Inn, we went in. It was excellent! Welcome perfect, food excellent, service excellent, value excellent. It was so good we went back when travelling home on Saturday 3rd October- it was there new menu and it was just as perfect in every way as our first visit. Highly recommend The Anglers Inn and will definitely return. Thank you

Had a lovely lunch today. Great value at 2 courses for £10. Very covid safe . Felt very comfortable. Food and service very good. Definitely be back!!!!!

Decided on the spur of the moment to go out for tea. Went to the Anglers Inn for High Tea and it was lovely. All Covid19 precautions taken by the hotel and staff were excellent as was the food. Would recommend a visit.

First time here and fab all round very welcoming on arrival 😀 staff great food amazing cheesecake is a must well done guys xx

Just had a lovely family meal at the Anglers the food was fantastic Empty plates all round! The dining area was lovely and clean and had a very nice atmosphere. Tables very well spaced out which really made for a comfortable dining experience. Service was very friendly and very attentive Will definitely be back. And will recommend to friends and family.

Had a lovely meal this afternoon, the service was excellent, all social distancing adhered to. We will definitely return.

We decided the Anglers with their very appealing new menu would be just the thing for a midweek meal out - who wants to be cooking and washing dishes during their holidays after all? It was great to be welcomed back! Easy decisions made about our food choices as there was something for everyone. I was delighted with the chicken madras and tasty accompaniments, and the biscotti cheesecake was delightfully creamy and light. The fish dish, steak pie and macaroni went down very well with the rest of the family too, and getting the elder teenager to drive meant mum and dad could sample one or two drinks too. Great selection of gins! Thanks again to Ryan and Linda for a lovely evening.

Three generations visited this pub/restaurant recently for lunch as it was a convenient stopping point. We ordered a child's meal first and to give credit, the meal did arrive promptly and was ok apart from a comment from the little one as to why the chips were so brown!Our meals took such a long time it took our short stop to an extended one. Food was pretty average, not cheap so a great disappointment. Nothing to make a formal complaint about though.

Had a great Sunday carvery meal at The Anglers Inn. Soup or/and Pate to start; Unlimited Turkey, Ham (Glazed or unglazed), Pork, Roast Beef (offering well done, medium or rarer cuts), Chicken Goujons, Black pudding in a light batter, all the veg you could hope for; hot and cold desserts topped off a wonderful meal. Friendly staff enhanced the experience. All for a very reasonable price. Will definitely return.

I have to start by saying I didn't even know the village existed far less this little gem.We were out a drive needed sonewhere for the loo and maybe some late lunch/early dinner and stumbled upon the Anglers Inn.With a large car park to the rear it certainly has that doorstep appeal a lovely looking building which just felt inviting.As it turned out we were the only diners ( it was a midweek late afternoon, ) this can in some places mean the service is too quick or too fussy, not here a friendly welcome suitable time to look over an impressive menu and enjoy a drink & appropriate time between courses.The food was delicious and they absolutely don't skimp on portions, freshly cooked and piping hot , 3 courses coffee and drinks later and at no time did we feel pressured to leave the hospitality was excellent On a side note although important one this is a dog friendly venue that provides towels to dry off your muddy wet four legged friend ,fresh water and treats for good dogs. I'd have no hesitation returning.

Another great night at the Anglers! Met up with friends for a meal and catchup and the Anglers hit the spot on both counts. The steaks were very popular at our table and were cooked to perfection, and the delicious homemade chocolate orange cheesecake finished off our meals nicely. The relaxed atmosphere, comfy seats in cosy surroundings with fantastic staff made sure we were going nowhere fast after our hearty meal - I was so taken with my chicken madras I forgot to take a photo - and we were happy to spend the rest of the evening sampling the superb variety of gins and enjoying catching up with our friends. Thanks again to Ryan and the team.

Another excellent meal at the Anglers tonight I had chicken tikka masala (slowly working my way through the menu) it was excellent really enjoyed it ... nice wine as well . Staff as good as ever.

Lovely restaurant,very friendly and helpful staff. Good was delicious,burger,fish,and especially the chicken tikka pie.Would recommend.

Went last minute with family (7 members) today for Sunday lunch.Food was delicious and beautifully cooked and presented. A large variety of meats, dishes and vegetables,all freshly cooked and hot.Deserts were amazing and had at least six choices!Staff friendly and efficient - can’t wait to come back.Thank you so much

First visit for a while and has changed ownership. But well done everyone fantastic meal great staff. And will be back soon I have no problem rating 5 star keep up the good work

Went for Sunday Lunch....got poor pub grub. First let me say the staff were fine, no issues here. However the dining room was stark, and blooming cold too ! The starters were soup or pate served with wilted salad. The Yorkshire puddings were like hockey pucks, the vegetables were over cooked , and the beef tough. The apple crumble was passable but the gloopy custard poor. The strange thing was the place was busy and seemed popular with locals.

Thirty of us booked an evening meal and meeting space for afterwards at the Anglers Inn. The staff and the meals were excellent. Have been a few times before and never been disappointed.

Just back from the Anglers Inn near Perth. Absolutely lovely staff so helpful and friendly. A real pleasure. The meal was just wonderful. £18.00 for a beautifully cooked carvery lunch. And its all you can eat! Pork, gammon, turkey and beef (rare or well done) and you are encouraged to try as many roasts as you please. There were four adults in our party. No complaints at all. Thank you staff at the Anglers Inn.

Went to Anglers Inn last night the 13th of November! We both ordered fajitas which I’ve had before and usually very nice! Last night however I ordered them and my second bite of the fajita ended up with a bit of cardboard with tinfoil on it inside my wrap. I had to spit it out and call the man who was serving! His response was “oh would you like anything else?” Not one apology! As we went up to pay there was still no apology. It’s an absolute disgrace!

We had a great Sunday family lunch. Could maybe do with a couple more choices of starter. It is very good value for money. Soup was lovely. Excellent staff serving the meats. My son said it was the best chicken Hopkins he had and that it was like a 10 star restaurant!! Puddings were fantastic. We will be back.

Took a chance and turned up without a booking and were lucky . A great meal excellent steak pie and chips and fajitas were just so delicious . The Service was first class the staff really efficient and friendly .

We chanced on this pub on the way to Balmoral. It was really friendly with lovely food. They were very welcoming to our dogs (and kids!).

Passed by this Inn three times on our journeys so decided to go and find out what it was like. Welcoming and friendly place to eat. Lunch menu had something for all to try. We had homemade roasted tomato and red pepper soup and a panini with the best coronation chicken ever wsalad and crisps

We visited on Sunday when the 3 course carvery was on. We heard that new owners had taken over recently and wanted go give them a try. The starters consisted of lukewarm soup or nothing! There was a good choice of roast on offer and the turkey, gammon and beef that we opted for were actually not too bad. Sadly it was all downhill after that, the limited vegetables on offer had been cooked beyond recognition and the yorkshire pudding was hard and dry. Dessert was equally disappointing with a limited choice of dry cake or rhubarb crumble.

This is a lovely place to stay, nice wee beer garden that gets the sun, the room was comfy and the food was delicious and large portions, a great base to explore the surrounding area, I wouldn't hesitate to stay again if we're in the area and I highly recommend for the tasty food!

A great place for a lunch. Food was lovely offering customers the choice of both panini/wraps and also the more traditional lunch menu. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.

I was a bit disappointed with the food here. Had the haggis balls for starter. Very little flavour and tastes like was frozen a few short minutes before.
