The Camperdown Elm in Dundee City

Great meal here this evening, pate and feta starters were fab, followed by veggie mac n cheese and scampi. Hubby finished off with the apple and cherry crumble, which was lovely. Well worth the visit and we will be back. Great pub grub and reasonably priced **update: last 2 visits have been disappointing, latest resulting in various chicken dishes 'unavailable' and 'not so hot' dish returned to the kitchen. It's a shame, this place has fantastic staff and one we recommend to our holiday let guests....hopefully, just a 'blip'!

Was there today treating my mum to a mother's Day meal !! Mum's was as always good but I ordered the Caesar salad,which was not good !! Last time I ordered it it was lovely today it was salad leaves baby tomatoes no bacon couchons which were like a half loaf on top of plate !! Chicken wasn't shredded through salad it was breaded chicken slices 😞when I complained I was told recipe had changed !! If I had known I would never have ordered!! Server apologised but I basically paid for a meal I didn't eat won't be back !!

Stopped off here whilst in Dundee for the day. From start to finish I will say the staff were fantastic, very attentive and happy to help with any questions. Lots of choices on the menu but I opted for just two starters as I wasn’t overly hungry. Halloumi fries and chicken tenders were ok. Probably wouldn’t come back again in a hurry and would try out other places if I was in the area again

Nice Sunday lunch on Mothers day with our son and grandson

Great food, great place, great service

Great food and service. Thanks David for looking after us

Average pub grub decent enough the place is nicely done out an staff very helpful

Manager welcomed is in. Very allergy aware. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced

Long to serve Poor presentation of food ie steak sandwich just poorly put together , sauce bottles empty on tables steak tough dogs enjoyed it

Bradley who took our order was pleasant and knowledgeable, the food took a while to arrive but it was worth the wait, as it was delicious, the chips where a bit chunky and could have done with a little more cooking as some where only look warm in the middle. The place is dog friendly with its own special menu for our four legged friends, as well as play toys a great idea.

Anyone who got a 30% of voucher don't waste your time taking it, we got a meal from the menu 2 courses for £15 had 2 drinks and with the voucher it still cost £50.85 and while checking the bill noticed for a dash of coke was £1.90 and the second drink the dash of coke was only £1.10 when I asked about it they couldn't give me a reasonable answer I won't be back just thought I'd pass this on to anyone planning to go for a meal anytime soon

Came in for breakfast however upon arrival was told it had just stopped serving (blessing in disguise) as the lunch was outstanding. The two waitresses were amazing as was the gentleman. Credit to them & the chefs for a outstanding lunch. Burger & chicken was great & the pouring dessert was amazing.

Lovely experience, asked to be in a quiet area the waiter provided that , very attentive but not to much that we were Being bothered , food was exceptional was a very pleasant experience and will be going again to try more on the menu

Arrived and advised vegetarian no one told us any issues but when we went to order it turned out most of the veggie dishes were unavailable so we had to change our choices were left with only 2 mains to choose from. Staff were friendly and helpful but service very slow - sat waiting for ages for table to be cleared and for desert to be ordered. Surely they could have advised us there was limited availability of dishes before we ordered

Food is terrible. Staff were hopeless to say the least. They didnt have half the menu. Mc Donald's would be a better option in comparison

Accommodating and plenty of space, dig friendly with a wee dog station. Good deals on food and sport on tv

We are just home after double birthday tea for my daughter & granddaughter’s birthdays, in Camperdown Elm Dundee. We have been here several times in the past and vowed never to go back (Xmas dinner 2023) However after seeing 4.5 reviews, we decided to see what was new. Serve was excellent, food was served promptly, hot and very tasty. The birthday girls even had a birthday card each with a complimentary dessert. Well done to the new Liam and his team. We will definitely be back in the future. Ty 😊

Camperdown Elm is a lovely place to catch up with friends and have a good meal. The surroundings are clean and welcoming and the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. There is a great choice of food on the menu and once ordered, the food arrives in good time and is piping hot. Portion sizes are good and the food is delicious.

visited today with my parents up from england to visit. the food and environment was lovely! our server liam was so friendly and really nice to chat to. hope to see him here again :)

I have been going here ever since discovering it close by while charging my car. I requested a quiet table away from others and the staff went above and beyond for me. Every time I have been I get what has now become my little table and the food has always been great. Excellent value for money. I had not been for a couple of months and went in tonight and the lovely staff not only remembered my table I like but my drink order as well. You simply don't get to build that sort of friendly welcoming atmosphere often in a restaurant. It's my new regular place to eat when I can. I have recommended it to others.

We were out for a family meal. Lovely food and catered for kids and adults. Would like to thank MaKayla for her service over the evening.

Superb food, friendly, helpful staff in spotlessly clean environment

Makayla was an excellent server.

Lovely meal with family. Our waitress Makayla was really friendly.

Lovely staff and great food we will definitely be back!

Lovely fresh surroundings. Great atmosphere, and very friendly, informative staff. 30% off main meal voucher offer was much appreciated too and the food was tasty. What’s not to love?!

Went today for my birthday lunch. We were given the full menu and the 2 courses for £15 set menu. The set menu has 6 mains. Drinks order was taken, 1 Pepsi max, 1 white coffee. I chose fish for my main, my friend chose steak. Neither were available, although my friend was informed there's steak on the main menu -and there is - at around £19 . Apparently the fryer for fish isn't working and its been a busy week for steak. My friend asked to talk to the manager, and our server informed us that she is the manager. There were no alternatives for the unavailable items. So now we are down to 4 options to choose from. If we we'd been told about items not being available before we'd ordered drinks, we'd have gone elsewhere. In the end we both went for gammon. These came with gammon on the bottom, pineapple ring on top, then a fried egg on the pineapple. Chips, garden peas and a piece of tomato on the side. The gammon was very nice. Chips decent and my egg was tasty. My friends egg was rubbery and had a solid yolk. I didn't like the peas and left these, the pineapple and tomato. When we had finished, we put the plates to the edge of the table , as you do. They sat there for 25 minutes, despite staff cleaning other tables in the area, until I stopped our server and asked for them to be taken away and to place our desert orders. The plates were removed and she returned with the full desert menu. We knew what we wanted because there's only 3 choices on the set menu, but when we said it was the set menu, she scurried away and came back with the menus before we could get a word in. Ordered crumble, and an icecream, which were both nice. Once done my friend asked for the bill and when when she got it we sat for about 10 minutes waiting for someone to come and take payment. Eventually we just went and paid at the bar. Whilst we were waiting, my friend checked the bill, it was £3.85 for a glass of Pepsi?! And on checking the menu, there were 2 sizes of drink available but no choice was given at the point of order. Big fails on service, neither of will be returning and definitely wouldn't recommend this place.

Excellent place to eat. Nice laid back atmosphere, the staff are lovely and it's very dog friendly.

Arrived at restaurant at 530pm ordered food at 540pm. By 610pm still no starters arrived, went to bar to query to be told it won't be long, arrived at 620pm. Only one having starter, I ordered 2 starters as a main but came with the starters !!. We then waited another 40 mins for the mains to arrive (after another visit at the bar to ask where food was) One main arrived a 7pm, had to wait another 10 mins for the other main which was only sausage, chips and beans, by this time we had had enough and decided leave. The girl behind the bar dealt with the situation very well, was extremely sorry for the service we received and gave us our money back. It appears the kitchen needs looking at for orders to be delivered within a reasonable timescale. Have to say we will not be visiting this place again any time soon. Disappointed. K, L and L from Dundee

Service was excellent as usual food was brilliant and server David was brilliant as usual 5 stars

Came here with my partner and we both loved the food. Really excellent service with lovely staff who did their best to make us feel welcome. Only slight critique was slightly longer wait times - however it was very busy. Will definitely come back.

We have been 4 times, once about every six months over the past few years. The decor and atmosphere is great, the staff are pleasant and professional, the beer is great and we would like to use it regularly as it should hit the mark. However, they have never had the mix grill in stock which i have asked for every time and the food I have had is a little underwhelming. It would be easy to get this right, it should be rammed with customers! Please have your menu in stock or remove items from it, and up the portions just a little. I will try again in six months.

First time here, I had steak pie and chunky chips. very nice, then apple and pear crumble. Also very nice. Service was good and servers were polite and attentive. Great experience

We visited for the quiz night and had food. Service was excellent and all the waitresses were lovely. Food came out quick and hot and looked amazing. Quiz was great and host was good at creating a good atmosphere. Just a bonus that we won! Already booked for the next quiz night and can't wait to have more food!

Enjoyed a quick bite to eat whilst in Dundee. The staff (David and Liam) were friendly and attentive.

Used to love it here but today was terrible .went at lunch time .picked steak pie .came back to say they had none .picked macaroni .again nothing .picked fish and chips peas stone cold had 10 chips .and fish that was disgusting water full water .and batter that hard could not eat it . Asked for a fruit plate for my little grand daughter .none of that either .food was disgusting .wont be back

The staff were so friendly and welcoming, the restaurant looks modern and clean and in good condition. Our orders were taken quickly and food came quick, but I thought the food was not good quality at all I found the adult and child portions to be rather small, a tiny dip bowl worth of macaroni cheese for a 5 year old he could have eaten 3 of them. The mains for adults were also rather small, one a curry and one a chicken pie which was the same size as a bakers scotch pie roughly. It came with 2 carrots and a hand full of peas and green beans. The mash reminded me of smash and could tell it was microwaved due to the skin and glue like texture. The prices of the mains (roughly £14) did not reflect the quality of food. It's a shame about the food as the staff, location and the fact they were family friendly were perfect. Unfortunately we wouldn't rush back solely down to the food, thankyou for your kind staff though

Used to love it here .today was terrible .went in at lunch time when it opened .ordered steakpie .had none .ordered macaroni had none .ordered fish and chips luke warm .peas cold .fish full batter so hard and fish inside wattery ..ask for kids fruit plate for my grandaughter .did not have any .waste money .food was crapthis was today 26th january 2025

Had a lovely meal and staff couldn't do enough for our large table!

10/10 burgers! Clean, good service, great food - would definitely go back!

Excellent service from Liam and James. James came with a dog blanket and a water bowl for our dog when we arrived. My elderly neighbour had a chicken dish, but it had some chilli's on it. We should've mentioned to leave them off, when we ordered. James took it away and remade it. Brilliant service all round.

Had a lovely time last night at Camperdown Elm. Meal was excellent thanks to the amazing ‘specials’ menu. Would highly recommend the Cajun steak wrap. A whole sirloin sliced, Cajun seasoning and salad in a tortilla wrap. AMAZING. They definitely have the Covid situation sorted too. Single use menus, clearly marked one way system. Staff very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back soon. Thanks Derek, family and staff team.

Throughout our whole trip through Scotland this restaurant had the best service. Servers who liked to engage with the customers and not leave them wanting. The food was also very well done with decent sized portions. Nice varied menu. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Amazing staff. Food is consistently good. Hats off to the cleaning staff; super clean toilets.

Excellent food, excellent service and more than welcoming to our little fur ball 🐾 Really nice touch providing a blanket, water and treats for our little dog. Lovely atmosphere and surroundings. Well done everyone, keep up the good work, the best in Dundee.

Lovely food, great service by Ellie, Mark and Liam.

The food was so delicious and the staff were amazing and very friendly and lovely Erin and brad would recommend to everyone

Too many items not available. Could be so much better.

Me and my friends were in on New Years. We had a fantastic time, great environment, lovely atmosphere, and lovely staff. Two staff in particular stood out, Erin and Brad who were both very helpful, kind, and polite throughout our whole visit

Booked a table for 8. We've tried a number of places locally when visiting my in-laws over the years and can confidently say that this is one of the best meals out we've had. This despite the fact that there were only two front of house staff on shift, both of whom delivered exceptional service and should be commended on their cool demeanor and welcoming attitude. Food was great also, great burgers especially. Wonderful experience and we'll definitely be back.

It was very welcoming and our visitors wee dog loved the treats and blanket provided. The staff were very attentive and couldn't do enough to make it a good afternoon. Although a few things were off the menu our party found enough other things on the menu to satisfy their hunger.

11 of us came in December for the Festive Evening Meal. The menu gave lots of choices & everyone was able to choose something they liked. The food itself was served piping hot when served & delicious. Our servers Erin & Liam looked after us from the moment we arrived til we left. They checked on us throughout our meal checking if everything was okay or if we needed more drinks. Would recommend as a welcoming, family friendly establishment.

From start to finish abysmal. Staff very unprofessional not very attentive had to ask for various things several times..eg.bread and butter arrived when meal almost finished! A majority of the food was served tepid,bordering on being cold! Food itself was not of high standard! Hairs found in Cauliflower and cheese! All in all not a good experience! Even had to ask twice to get our desserts! Total time at table almost 3 hours! Unacceptable,won't be back!

Christmas lunch. All had to be pre-booked. Service excellent, friendly and helpful staff. Ambience great. Shame the chef is not very good at cooking green veg: the sprouts and broccoli were not nice. Other than that the turkey dinner I had was tasty. It would have been nice to have more than just breast meat. The interloping Sassenach Yorkshire pudding was not welcome. Unremarkable roast potatoes. My guests enjoyed their cheesecakes. I was not particularly taken by what had been described as a Christmas pudding: a hot brownie with some fruit drowned in cold custard (with a hint of brandy) topped with badly made ice cream with nasty ice crystals. The pre-ordered coffee and fudge didn't appear. Apparently because it wasn't on the server's instructions.

As described my complaint is the cost of the wine per glass,when we could have had a bottle for slightly more, had this Been pointed out

Everyone really enjoyed their food. All the servers were friendly and helped us with out large food order. Food was standard Kids loved the outside play area.

Have been before, and it was fine. Took my mother on Saturday. Simple fish and chips. Fish was tasteless. Chips were definitely fried in dirty oil. Side salad with no tomatoes. It was very overpriced for what we had. Staff were lovely and very efficient.I wouldn't go back in a hurry.

Monday, 16th December ’24. The service was really friendly and the staff delivered nice, hot food in a timely manner. A pleasant place to eat out and the staff definitely delivered a great Christmas meal today.

My family has just enjoyed a wonderful family Christmas/Birthday meal. We were a big party and we're treated so well. The team was so accommodating, friendly and attentive. We had a lovely, leisurely afternoon. The food was lovely and priced accordingly. The restaurant was clean and well appointed and the play area was great fun for the kids. We'd highly recommended the Camperdown Elm and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Very clean and warm pub Staff are super friendly and helpful I had 4 meals there all fantastic Recommend the stake Americano ,they even saved a roast dinner on Sunday for us as we we're working late This is the pub all the others need to catch up with

The food was fabulous and the service was second to none, the management team were friendly and have their staff looking after everyone really well!

Had a quiz night for The Stroke Association on the 29th November, it was very good night and Liam was excellent. Going back again next month for another quiz night.

The Camperdown Elm has both a nice decor and atmosphere coupled with good and friendly service. Whilst the lunch special has a limited menu the food chosen was good, tasty and came out hot.

I usually visits the Camperdown Elm with acouple of my woofs usually for a roast Sunday lunch which I absolutely love! I love the attention to details for the dogs and the Roast dinners are delicious. My most recent visit however was for an early festive meal with friends. The restaurant was decked out beautiful festive, the turkey dinner was huge and very good. We all loved the festive decorations on our desserts (it's the little details). We had a lovely evening and look forward to seeing you all again soon. Wishing 'The Camperdown Elm' a fabulous festive season xx

Was here tonight for the 1st time in a long time and it will certainly be the last. The fish was absolutely vile, the service may be good but the food is a big let down. Would not recommend this place to anyone that has taste buds

My dad was not one for changing where he ate so getting him here was not easy but now that he's been this is now his new favourite. Amazing service from start to finish and the food and price were excellent. Plenty space to park for free and plenty room inside and out, if it's a nice day.

Fantastic visit as usual. The team are very welcoming and always willing to have a chat. I am Lactose Intolerant and my friend suffers from Celiac. The crew at ‘the elm’ were very accommodating and ensured our needs were met. The meal was prepped to a fantastic standard and a high quality. (We highly recommend the Hunters Chicken, without the cheese if you are lactose). Big thanks to Charlie, Liam & Erin for being such accommodating and friendly hosts for the evening.

Only been in for drinks but it’s a really nice environment. Love taking my dog there. It’s nice to have somewhere she’s welcomed and not just tolerated. Charlie is lovely and really hospitable and my canine buddy loves her dog bar. That being said as well, the dogs are allowed in the bar area and there’s a whole lounge/restaurant that’s separated so if you are not a dog lover you can eat in peace!

I discovered this pub a couple of months ago. i was coming back up to Aberdeen for Glasgow. Stop at the pub to get some eat with my dog, and the member of staff was really attentive friendly to us. i can not fault the service for her.i stopped in again on Monday last week on my way down to Glasgow again and both memory staff who were working that day I cannot fault the service again from them they were really friendly to me and my dog I keep telling people about this pub if they are going pass the pub to stop and get some to eat it is truly the hidden gem of pub in Dundee

Staff were very warm and welcoming. Service was brilliant. Staff came and checked back with us to make sure we were ok. Our server whose name i'm not sure of went and got a few pictures for my son to colour in and at the end of our meal he helped to pin them on the wall. Our little one was delighted to see his artwork on the wall. The food we had was delicious and fantastic value. Will 100% be planning a return visit

We have been twice in 1 week we enjoyed it so much the first time , insure of the staff members name from the 1st time tonight was a lovely lady Erin service and food were both fabulous, highly recomend, service on both nights were great couldn't of been more attentive thank you .

Food was OK had a chicken salad, chicken was a bit over done, been to better for the price, service and staff were good which made up for the food

Good food fair price pint. Great staff. Will be back, when in town.

Have visited Camperdown Elm with Friends and Family. Food was good. The service is efficient and caring. Give this place a visit folks. It's so worth it.

Excellent Sunday roast and very attentive, friendly staff. Great place for couples, families of all ages and dogs are not only welcome but can eat from their very own dog menu

Good service, friendly, accepts dogs..

Stopped here for dinner. Ordered a chorizo mac and cheese and steak and ale pie. Both dishes were delicious. Would recommend

First visit this afternoon to this lovely little restaurant. The food was incredibly tasty and came piping hot. The waiting team were very attentive and were full of smiles and helped make our visit memorable. We will definitely be back. 5 stats isn't enough.

I received a 30% off flyer through my house. Thought I'd give it a go. It was a hidden gem. Very good ambience and surroundings. Staff very welcoming. Didn't know it was there to be honest.

When we arrived the pleasant young waitress took us to our table. We asked to move as the table was very central to the restaurant and I prefer a less visible place to eat, just the way I am. There was no hesitation on her behalf and she offered us a more private table setting. She took our drink order there and after about 5 minutes her colleague arrived with the drinks and we gave our food order. So far so good. My father had a steak and I had the scampi and we were also offered a lovely bread. All of the food was at the correct temperature and was so well set out and tasted excellent. We both cleared our plates and finished the meal off with some coffees. A wonderful eating place which I hope more people use. Well done to all concerned.

Lovely place, clean and very friendly, food and service was excellent too.

Wonderful service & food for our family gathering 🥳

Got the family all together for my dad's 60th Birthday and with 5 kids, asked to be placed near the playpark and the kids had a blast meaning the parents did too! Staff were so attentive and great with the young ones. Apologise I don't remember our servers name but she was brilliant as was the male manager on shift. Food was delicious and service was great. We brought a birthday cake and they were so helpful getting us all organised and helping with photos. We will for sure be back

Great food and excellent service. First visit. Food was outstanding. Table served my Megan who was lovely! Will definitely be back

Myself and my partner brought the grandkids for lunch. Food was fresh and tasty, reasonably priced and staff members Charlie & Erin were very friendly. The gluten free menu was fab too. Another positive note and certainly a point to bring us back was after our meals the kids played pool and went out to the play equipment. At no point were we rushed away or felt we'd over stayed out welcome. Great place for families.

Very pleasant midweek lunch from the set menu. Decent price and very pleasant and efficient servers. Will definitely return.

My server was erin who was a delightful young women put my mum at ease as she has dementia had a wee blether and laugh a credit to your company

Great experience from start to finish. Booked online asking for a highchair, which was already waiting at our table when we arrived. Very quick and friendly service. Food was really good. Couldn’t fault in any way. We’ve already booked again for our next trip to Dundee.

Howdy doodly, I attended the camperdown Elm yesterday and found d the place to be immaculate and the staff particularly friendly especially Erin, she made a fantastic coffee and looked after us very well. I found the food to be fantastic so kudos to the clearly brilliant kitchen team. 5/5 would very much recommend

All staff very attractive and the food was fabulous. Would 100% recommend this amazing find

food was excellent!! jamie and erin were very attentive and very helpful will be back 100% recommend. They have a gluten free menu and a dog menu which is amazing

highlight of the evening: the food. The menu at The Camperdown Elm offers a wide range of flavourful dishes that cater to a variety of palates. We decided to share a selection of appetisers, including the signature sharer and the bbq cauliflower wings, both of which were creative and beautifully presented well done the to chefs. thoroughly enjoyed our time being here and our waitress Kayla was a delight very caring and hospitable highly recommend

Amazing experience, came to this pub for the first time and will definitely be back. I have a gluten intolerance and was shown a dedicated menu with a good range of options for me!

The food was terrible, I honestly have never had food so bad when eating out and I absolutely love pub food. I ordered the steak pie, I was shocked to discover it was pretty much a pukka pie from Asda that I do in the air fryer at home. The mashed potatoes I'm pretty sure was smash or the equivalent. The person I was dining with had what looked like fries to go and half the bowl was cold, half was warm. Will not be returning.

I have recently visited the Camperdown elm, had a wonderful Sunday lunch, the service was great and Charlie is wonderful and made us all have a good laugh.

The manager is amazing, called to book for a large party very last minute and she could not accommodate us any more friendly and welcoming jelping.eoth allergies information and helping the team serve us as a large table a family catch up was made truly special by the managers and her team keep up the amazing work

Amazing food, lovely quick service. Liam was so attentive and friendly and made our experience nice and personal. Thanks!

Visited here today for some lunch. Sadly very dissapointed. Ordered sweet potato and chickpea curry. When it came potato chunks were still stone cold. Sent back to be reheated and when it arrived was all stuck to the inside of the curry bowl. Pure black underneath. Poppadoms soft . Husband ordered the beef pie chips and veg which was to be glazed carrots ,green beans mange tout and peas. Was advised after ordering that they had no vegetables apart from garden peas which my husband doesn't like. Ordered hunters chicken instead with chips and because no veg it was replaced with what they called salad which was a half of bag of lettuce leaves. No tomatoes, no cucumber, no peppers or sald drizzle . Shocking. Chicken slightly overcooked and tough .Chef obviously had a bad day if there was an actual chef on. Standard of food very very poor. They couldn't even get the drinks correct. Asked for one cube of ice in cold drink but came filled with ice.The waiter was very apologetic about the whole experience and very nice. But overall experience disappointed and not value for money at almost fifteen pound per meal .Although they only charged half price for the cold curry. Afraid we won't be back
