The Court House in Perth & Kinross

When I travel south down the moterways, I stop off at my usual filling stations....but if I have more time Ive got some nice options in Moffat, Kirby Longsdale and Lancaster to name a few. When Im heading north, it usually Kinross Servicies for comfort break and a snack. But this trip north. my dughter decided to give The Court house a try. Thankfully she has the knack for picking great places. No booking, but they squeezed us in late lunch time. After a short wait in vestibule, we were shown to a table. Simple sour dough sandwiches, all freshly prepared were just what we needed to get us ready to continue our journey. Cant say anything more than they were great and kitchen staff know their job. Front of house were equally efficiant and Kinross is lucky to have this place on their doorstep. Will make time for this place in future journeys.

Beautiful and friendly place just off M90. Dog friendly. Great cafe/restaurant menu, perfect for brunch/lunch. Nice decor.

A wonderful welcome. DOG FRIENDLY, perfect space for the dog, water bowl and treats given. Food was lovely and full of flavour. All waiting staff were friendly and 'on-it' for service. Not rushed either which I love! Would return again if I were local.

Had a really lovely meal here. Couldn’t fault it. It was everything you’d want on a Saturday night out. Attentive staff, good service and great food. First visit but will be back

Food was adequate, the service however was dire. Waited 20 minutes s for table to be cleared after main course so we could order desert but ended up just paying for what we had. When we told the young server he seemed uninterested. Won't be back

We had a fabulous dinner here, the food was absolutely delicious and very healthy size portions! Our waitress was very attentive throughout our meal. Lovely friendly staff and a really nice place to relax! Will definitely be back!

Really lovely food, we both had the Sea Bass which was really tasty. We were looked after by a young waiter who was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and any issues were quickly rectified.

We sat out in the walled garden & had very attentive service & we ordered rosez wine & a large bottle of water . No fish left but one order of Mac n cheese , a generous helping sizzling hot & 2 pieces of garlic bread & bowl salad . The other was a large pepperoni pizza really delicious & usually my order here as they are 1st class ! Spoke to Alex the chef & all staff were most welcoming , Thankyou to everyone we will definitely be back again !

Exceptional service from the staff welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. Cocktails excellent. Food was delicious!I had the sea bass teriyaki which was so tasty and fresh. My husband had the American hot pepperoni pizza beautifully made lovely crispy crust. Highly recommend this place has a really positive energy!

Excellent service from the waiting staff however some issues with the kitchen with Eggs Florentine which arrived with one of the two eggs underdone so we asked for it to be replaced but happy just to have the dish back and another egg once cooked however after a wait meaning one breakfast was almost eaten a new plate appeared however this time instead of the original salsa verde it came with tomato salsa, no longer had the chilli flakes, now sliced advocado not smashed on the muffin, somewhat overcooked eggs basically not a correct dish and looking distinctly like a chef in a huff however due to it being a birthday breakfast treat for a friend I chose not to raise this again however it was very disappointing. The Eggs Royale were lovely as was the scone and pan au chocolate so all was not lost

Exceptional service from the senior wait staff member, concern that everything was OK, caught an item I ordered that had cream in it. Not often one gets such individual attention. Great server too,

Highly recommended, there was 5 of us, including 16 year old grand daughter. Wide range of food was ordered, and all of it was delicious, the service was professional, friendly and quick. Hot, tasty and all served at the same time without any effort. Lovely decor, good location.

In a nice old building. Booked online. Great service. Pizzas, posh sandwiches and a few more substantial meals. Great scones, cakes etc. Would definitely go again

We visit here often and the food and staff have always been top-notch! They even have gluten-free options which my sister adored.

Christmas dinner was excellent and the staff are very welcoming. My brother’s two days were in the restaurant and the staff were very friendly with them too. Cyclists are recommended to visit.

Visited with a family group which included a toddler and dog. Food was great but a special mention to the staff who were fantastic.

Fabulous find for luncheon. We both picked a pizza each, hubby always has pepperoni, was very pleased he had. I had a hot smoked salmon one with rocket, cream cheese & dill, it was called a Smokehouse, not to be missed. The staff were very busy & catered for us so well. We have two golden retrievers which were highly looked after with their own water bowl brought without being asked & their own biscuits brought on a saucer, so thoughtful!! We will be returning next Friday on our way back home…… delightful place!!

Stopped in for lunch as we're staying in the area. We both had a pizza - pepperoni for my partner and el pollo for myself, with cheesy garlic bread to share. Both were delicious. We finished the meal with a salted caramel brownie and raspberry...

We’ve been going to the Court House since it opened, as a family, with friends and really enjoyed it. It was a great addition to the local area but post covid it’s lost it’s way. It’s now actually just a coffee shop. Friday and Saturday...

We made a pitstop here on our way from Edinburgh to Inverness in need for lunch. Very nice staff, good service and tasty food. One of us were especially happy with the pizza!

i work in hospitality so i criticise other places all the time but our service was shocking. We got in and got drink nice and fast then ordered our food, it look 30+ minutes to get our food. We then finished and no one cleared...

Staff always really friendly and welcoming and the best pizza around! Something for everyone! Thanks

A lovely welcome and intro from female. Well looked after by a team who want to be there! Great pizza.

Stopped off for a late lunch at the weekend with my partner. The staff were lovely and attentive. I really need to make a comment about the pizza though as its nothing like I've tasted before. Probably the best pizza I've ever tasted in my...

Arrived @ a nearby campsite early evening. After pitching tent made our way into town and stumbled across this ‘little’ gem. The place is clean, tidy and the staff very welcoming. Menu has not got the widest of choices but what is on offer is...

Great food and very friendly, helpful staff. The building has an interesting history and this is illustrated with old photos on the walls.

We visited with family, aged from 2 weeks to 73, and all has a wonderful time. The pizza was delicious, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. It was the perfect family friendly atmosphere - we will certainly be...

We popped in for some lunch after being out for some walks nearby. The weather had turned to rain, so it was nice to get indoors and the restaurant was cosy and welcoming. The food was excellent as always and the staff were friendly and...

Got up early and went for a walk. Checked website and it said open at 9:00 ..... perfect. Arrived at 9:30 to walk in and staff come over to inform us that they are not open until 10:00. We told them their website says open...

We happened upon this little place as we got lost on our drive to Perth! 2 adults , 2 teens and an 8 year old who is fussy. We ordered pizzas, soups, sandwich selections and drinks. The food was all very good quality, very tasty...

Regular visitor for gluten free fish and chips. Last visit was very very disappointing batter was soggy and the meal was cold.

Came here for lunch with my wife and grown up family, including baby granddaughter and our pet labrador. We were put in a room for privacy as my daughter was breast feeding. The service from the staff was excellent and the food was first class....

Nice menu and good service from staff. However we did wonder why we were seated right next to another table of diners, when the resturant was almost empty, especially considering social distancing. Two of our group had goats cheese to start which was good although...

Love the courthouse but was very disappointed when we arrived. We sat 30 minutes and no one came near us to take a order so we got up and left. So was very disappointed with the non service.

Best service I’ve had in a very long time. Despite only ordering cake and tap water the woman who served me could not have been friendlier to this thirsty cyclist. The unusual avocado and courgette cake was a winner!

Good food, good service. My partner and I popped in for some lunch after looking at good reviews on trip advisor. I had a haloumi salad and he had a chicken club sandwich, both were very tasty! However, the haloumi salad was a little disappointing...

Met up with two friends today for lunch and a catch up as we had not seen them for months.We were very disappointed with the limited menu and we asked to share a main course which we have had here before and it came on...

Four of us had lunch, fish and chips gluten free, steak sandwiches, halloumi fries. All were well prepared, efficiently served and tasted good. Prices are reasonable. Ambience is nice, some parking outside off the road. Tables separated, masks worn by staff. friendly place.

Excellent food and great service. Highly recommended for a leisurely lunch in a very friendly atmosphere. The cheese burger a particular favourite.

Short and sweet .....we used the courthouse for pizza treats to cheer us up during lockdown ,and continue to do so ...we support and enjoy their pizza and professionalism .... Thank you

Nice find for a pizza in Kinross various other choices of all kinds and deserts. Average pricing. Nice atmosphere.

I had burger and chunky chips, my husband had fish and chips, fish was so fresh. He says he can hardly ever get nice flaky fresh fish. Our meals were excellent. Well spaced. No contact details taken. Maybe it’s not mandatory.

Post Lockdown. Really well organised, everything looked very clean, and great COVID protocols. The pizza was excellent, service was great-very courteous and efficient. Top marks to a young crew working tonight 👍

Takeaway coffee while we were in lockdown was a life saver. The staff were great, friendly and efficient. We had some great recommendations ie iced flavoured lattes and flavoured hot lattes. Gave us something to look forward to. THANK YOU to all the staff for...

We booked a table outside in the lovely back garden for lunch with the dog. The pizzas were great as were the venison sausages and the coffee after was excellent as usual. Food service was a little slow but we were in no rush and...

We had been visiting the area looking at new houses and decided to pop in to this restaurant prior to heading back home. The weather wasn't great, so it was nice to get out of the cold and rain and relax for a while. The...

Arriving in Kinross at 2:30pm we tried a few other places in the area only to be turned away and what a nice find The Court House was. The restaurant was airy and spacious, service was courteous and extremely friendly. The lunch menu was well...

My partner recommended The Court House as she had enjoyed her last meal here several years ago, but we agreed that it must have gone down hill in the in the interim. We received a friendly welcome and given a choice of tables even though it was Sunday lunchtime and we had not booked. I ordered the soup of the day and my partner ordered the fish and chips, cooked with the 'special cider batter'. After waiting half an hour withl no sign of any food I queried our order, only to discover that it had not been put through to the kitchen. Presumably if I had not enquired we would be waiting still. The food, when it arrived, was average at best. My sweet potato soup had an unusual taste, which could best be described as 'interesting' rather than appetising. My partner's fish and chips were nothing special and the special batter made with cider tasted no different to any other batter. Prices were reasonable, but our experience was overshadowed by the fact that our order was lost and the food average at best. Not recommended.

Nice menu, cheerful staff, prompt service and tasty food. The bramble oat slice was delicious. A shame there were no smoked salmon florets left for the salad. We were not rushed our catching up with friends

Nice menu, great service. The three of us loved our food. The only negative was that we bought a cake and a scone to take home and share. The lemon drizzle was great but the (ginormous) scone was rather dense and doughy in the middle. I reckon it was too big to rise properly!! Sometimes smaller is better. Normally I would put five stars though, and will be back!

Although very busy when we arrived, they went out there way to find a table suitable for us and dog. A little bit of wait, but great food, very friendly service and excellent hot coffee!

Had a lovely birthday lunch here with family and friends. Food was excellent, especially the avocado pizza! Great with the kids, only thing to let it down was very slow service.

Arrived about 1400 hrs, The staff were very obliging and helpful. The food was great. Recommend the pizza but the sandwiches are plentiful and tasty. Nice atmosphere - a mix of the old courthouse with a large conservatory added on.

Booked post reviewing trip advisor when passing through Kinross and on z tight time frame. Not disappointed. Fresh food, nicely presented, reasonzbly priced served by very plesant staff. Nice atmosphere too. Will return

Went with a party of 16, service was terrible at least half an hour between ordering and initial service of starters, then half an hour before mains arrived, then the same delay before orders were taken for desserts. Such delays would have been tolerable if the food was any good. The concept of serving hot food not on their menu. Not a place I shall be visiting again.

Visited twice in a week - we returned for a 2nd visit because in our first visit it was 5 star. Great food, good service and a fair price.

Friendly welcome, nice ambience and delicious food.

This is a restaurant I have visited for a few years but it has now really gone down in my estimation. Last week my wife and I took a friend for a special Christmas lunch. We waited about 50 minutes for our main meal, which was really poor quality. The apple crumble desert sundae was no more than cream and stewed apples, with a small part ice cream. My friend was gluten free, yet both came with no crumble. I asked for one that was not gluten free, the waitress took it back to the kitchen and it returned with 8 crumbs on top. The meal for the three of us with a drink each was nearly £80 and we ate very little....very sad to see such a very good restaurant turn into such a poor one, we won't be back sadly and feel let down.

I had a meeting at 10 am and had coffee, OJ and a bacon roll. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and good service. Will likely to again for an evening meal in the future,

The service was really slow. The food was worse the soup was tasteless and I had to ask for butter for The bread but I needn't have bothered as it was frozen so couldn't useit. The Turkey was like a Bernard Matthews Turkey roll and the carrot puree just swam in the gravy. This was the worst Christmas meal i have ever had will not be back. Very dissappointed!

Ordered the salmon pate, which was nice, but it came with a mound of lettuce on a board. Then myself and two others in the party discovered that there was a quarter of a slice of bread , to spread the pate on!. I then asked the waitress if we could have more bread. She then brought 1 more small triangle for each of us. So in total half a slice of bread each! We had to smear the pate onto our lettuce leaves , maybe that is why we got so much. Another of our party had the beef. Tough as old boots. She ended up leaving half of it, after trying to saw her way through it. I will not be returning here and would not recommend to anybody else. Shame as I like to support local places.

Local sourced food good selection unfortunately Pizza oven was not operating had good reviews of Pizza but didn't get chance to try!

Went with Daughter and young grandchildren (4 and 7 years of age) for birthday meal with a table booked for 5-00pm. Young waitress took our drinks order promptly and we completed our food order by 5-15 all looked good.

As regular customers (at least twice monthly) for lunch over the last 3 years, we arrived as usual this afternoon to be firstly asked if we had a booking and then to be told that due to staff difficulties, only beverages and cake was available. Having travelled 20 miles to get to Kinross, we felt somewhat disappointed given our relationship with this establishment and will have to think seriously if we should continue our support

Not impressed with the food. Very limited menu in the first place. Unimpressive choices on menu. Uninspiring meals not even made well.

We visited the courthouse for a family birthday.

We chose the pizza from the menu. It was delicious and a substantial portion. The staff were very good and very attentive.

Stopped off for lunch en route north. Charming building. The restaurant is nicely presented and feels fresh.

I reviewed this place just after it opened and said it wasn't bad but they need to up their game a bit. Well, four years on, this hasn't happened. Service is still abominably slow and not matter how good the food may be, a lengthy wait makes the whole experience far from pleasant. It seems to be seriously understaffed with no communication between the waitresses and the kitchen. I doubt I will be back.

The pizzas are so good if there was a reward for best food it would be the courthouse my meal was yum

We visited the Court House last night and although the food was lovely the evening was very much let down by the staff. This is my 3rd experience of an evening meal and each time the service has been poor. The waitress seemed clueless and mixed up the orders. We had to ask for drinks three times. We used a voucher which we explained we had at the start but we had to remind them to take it off the bill at the end. It wasn’t a particularly busy evening but the front of house staff spent more time chatting to the kitchen staff than waiting tables. I think on a Saturday night the restaurant would benefit from an experienced manager being visible front of house. Over all a poor experience once again.

We were just driving through and were lucky enough to find the Court House. The venue was charming and the breakfast sandwiches were tasty. My only regret was not trying a scone.

Lovely historic spot, converted court house into a café. Good Coffee and even better cheese board. Would recommend for coffee and cake or a spot of cheese and wine. Dogs are allowed and tend to be kept to the front of the restaurant. Water bowls provided! For hotter days there are picnic benches outside and there is lovely art available for purchase on the walls. Would recommend after a dog walk.

Decided to take granddaughter for birthday dinner. Quirky seats, good friendly service pizza garlic bread for starter as I didn't fancy named one's, quite big good for sharing, battered fish was lovely. Not the cheapest but food was good quality, drinks as per any restaurant were expensive although fever tree tonic was very reasonable in comparison to other places. Kids portions were large but they enjoyed what they ate.

Trying to find a place for dinner last week was a bit of a drag because most of the restaurant in Kinross would not accept our impromptu booking, so we made our way to the Court House and again they where delighted to accommodate us, this is the second time we have done this at short notice and it is a credit to all the staff and management. The food is first class, especially the squid starter, I just wish there was more of it.

On the eve of our latest trip, a relaxed and flavourful meal at the delightfully quirky Court House in Kinross. Staff are attentive and the pizza and caesar salad were very good. Drinks a delight to unwind.

We enjoyed a very enjoyable meal with was excellent value for money the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent.

I thoroughly enjoyed the recent Summer Social evening, from the delicious food and wine, to the excellent entertainment and welcoming ambience. I have had many excellent meals here and the Summer Social was no exception. The food was of an excellent standard and the menu was very well thought out and great value for money. The addition of Pimms topped off the summer theme perfectly. The staff were extremely friendly and very attentive and added to the vibrant ambience of the evening - thank you Courthouse for another fabulous night.

Joined a group of friends at the Summer Social evening on Friday. Fabulous evening, with a delicious menu and Pimms. Staff extremely attentive and sone great music made for a brilliant night. Would highly recommend and looking forward to the next event.

Nice staff. Good selection of food. Pizza oven and very good variation of toppings. I had Spring Chicken very tasty and thin crust base just the way I like it. Something to suit everyone and seating outside when the sun shines very nice. Parking a bit of a problem but street parking if needed.

Thank you team Courthouse for a wonderful night at your Summer Social. The food was divine, loved every morsel . Superb value for money. Thrilled to see the summer bunting and fresh summer flowers on the tables. All gorgeous as ever. The evening was well complimented by the live band. Autumn is just round the corner, looking forward to your next event .

Popped in here after a dog walk for breakfast and it was really great! The pancakes were honestly fantastic - great portion size and tasted amazing with cream, maple syrup and fruit all on the side.

This is my second visit to the restaurant since it was renovated and the food and service are excellent. Staff offer a very friendly welcome and provide great service. It is advisable to book in advance as the restaurant is a popular place to dine in.

We went for dinner on Friday evening, having booked a table first as it's popular.

We were advised of this restaurant by another trader in town. Booking advisable.

Came here after a day at Perth races with the family having been here previously.

Lunch here for my Gran's 96th birthday. Food was good and service friendly and thoughtful. Birthday balloons on the table.

Went for my daughter's 18th birthday lunch and was very nice. Three of us had pizza all great but one criticism might be that I had the spicy one and I would have liked a bit more heat. Overall very good would recommend.

Totally disappointed with tonight’s service, we know the service is usually slow but thought we would take our chance. Booked a table for 4 for 7pm had our order taken by quarter past. Over an hour later the staff noticed we had no food and came over to say the order hadn’t been processed, then went on to say we could still have our food cooked but wouldn’t be prioritised as a big table of 10 came in, meaning would be another 30mins at least. We were not offered anything for the meantime, very disappointed with the customer service. We will not be returning :(

We called in on a Friday for early evening meal without booking - no problem. The building is really interesting, old with a modern feel. As they specialise in pizza we had to give them a try - spicy fish one and sweet chilli. Both very nice and "proper" pizza, none of the thick, stodgy bases that some places serve. They were thin and crispy as they should be. Tried the lemonade mocktail with raspberries - really refreshing.

Good food, good service and a really nice outdoor seating area, what more can you ask for? We had a really enjoyable meal there, recommend!

Family meal before heading to Kinross High School for what turned out to be a fantastic production of ‘Fiddler on the Roof’. Three of us opted for the fish and chips. The homemade tartare sauce didn’t disappoint, nor the main stars; the batter light and crispy on the fish long after it was served, the chunky chips amongst the best I’ve eaten. My Mum’s pan fried sea bass didn’t go down as well. It was served on a bed of salad leaves which just turned into a slimy mess and put to one side. Serving a salad on the side probably would have complimented the meal. My Dad asked for bread and butter. We had to chase for it and the bread was stale and the butter portion miserly. However as most of the bread was untouched it didn’t matter...

Specialise in pizzas which were great with a fabulous selection of starters, great main courses and some local craft beers

I'd booked a table on Sunday at 11am for five of us on Father's Day. Despite the place being quiet with only another 3 tables in, it took more than 10 minutes for someone to come and take our drinks order then another 15 minutes to return to take our food order. By this time it was 1125 and we asked if we might see the lunch menu, rather than pick from the fairly sparse breakfast menu, which finished at 1130. We were told 'no', lunch doesn't start till 12 so we'd have to order from the breakfast menu. Eight minutes later, another server returned to take our order - which we reluctantly placed for scrambled egg and bacon rolls, after again asking if we perhaps couldn't just order lunch and that we didn't mind waiting to have it served at the 'official' time after 12. Nope, that still wasn't possible. At 1155, our 'breakfast' eventually arrived, a full 55 minutes since we'd sat down. As we ate our rather unappetizing egg on toast, new tables were arriving and being given lunch menus...lucky them! We got a cursory and very half-hearted apology when leaving and I certainly won't be back any time soon. I expect the management will defend this review by saying we only had our table for a two hour slot, till 1pm, and if we hadn't eaten till gone 12 we'd over-run. But the place was 3/4 empty and we would have happily moved to another unreserved table, and spent at least double the money in the process. As a local, I've been to the Courthouse on a number of occasions and I'm sad to say it's always the service that let's this place down. Slo-ooow, dis-interested and disorganised. Luckily, there are lots of other nice places around the town, which take customer service more seriously. I'll happily leave the Courthouse to random travellers and visiting tourists who probably have time to wait 50 minutes for egg on toast.

Meeting friends for a meal, we picked The Court House on reviews and menu - so no personal recommendation.

This must be my 5th visit to the Courthouse after living in the area for 3 years. Decided not to go back because everytime they have messed my order up, however a family member had booked here and invited me.

Have been here a few times, would definitely return for the wood fired pizzas or for morning coffee which are both great.

Four of us had a meal at the Court House and we were all surprised at the poor quality of the food and slow service. Gloopy soup, salads with little content and mains underwhelming and expensive. Expected better. Unfortunately it's getting harder to find a decent meal in Kinross.

Mid week meal catching up with the family. Something for everyone on the menu, friendly staff, good food, nice surroundings, Never a bad meal here, keep up the good work.

Wonderful dinner out while visiting Kinross. Salt and pepper squid delicious and very light. Steak beautifully tender and succulent. Service very attentive . Great surroundings.
