The Crafty Crow in Dumfries & Galloway

Delicious freshly made food in a quirky church conversion. Fantastic - build your own pizza, for meat lovers or vegans. Nachos were fab. Open till 8 as an alternative to the pub menus. Also does takeaway. It was minus one outside but cosy inside. Not licensed but no corkage fee so you can bring alcohol in. Helpful staff. Fab.

Lovely larl place, beautiful coffee and it was in a decent sized cup, soup was out of this world, honestly the best ive ever had Super friendly staff, very welcoming Visited last year when on holiday and this visit did not disappoint 100% must go !!!

Lovely to see this smashing little cafe open and busy we have been several times before and are never disappointed. This time chose the margarita pizza with loaded wedges, fresh and tasty . Such a friendly welcome and delicious food we will be back very soon.

Great takeaway tonight from the Crafty Crow 👍 The online ordering system was easy to use and our order was ready for collection from friendly staff right on time. The chicken & bacon and Mediterranean pizza’s were really tasty…..as were the loaded wedges! Would definitely order another takeaway when next in Gatehouse of Fleet.

Great freshly made pizza didn't realise it was vegan and gluten free but so very tasty, lovely staff and excellent service would definitely recommend delicious and fresh well worth the wait

Lovely fresh tasty pizzas. The gluten free base was excellent probably the best I've ever had - and the owner told me the name of the supplier. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Well worth a visit either for takeaway or to sit in.

Absolutely delicious - I can truly say it was then nicest pizza I have ever had - the Mexicana try it you won’t be disappointed.

Ordered 3 pizzas online and they were ready for us when we collected them 25 minutes later. Delicious pizza and lovely friendly staff, would recommend. The adjacent gift shop is worth a visit too.

Not sure that the online ordering works that well as I when I arrived to pick up a couple of pizzas they hadn't been cooked. However, the staff were lovely - v apologetic and offered me a free drink if I wanted to wait - so I had a cappuccino (which was perfect) and within 15 mins my order was ready. It was well worth the wait - really delicious pizzas - so its 5* from me despite the little mix up!

My 2 sons and I visited for dinner, they had pizzas and I had chilli, all were delicious. The service was good too. The setting was a little bland but all in all an enjoyable experience.

Lovely friendly place, we just had tea and cakes and cakes are gorgeous, very reasonably priced and dog friendly will definitely return

Fab vegetarian lunch & super dog friendly! We loved the place & so did our dog! Staff really attentive, a wee gem of a place!

Myself and my partner went on Valentine’s Day and had their Valentine’s Day Special: 2 pizzas of our choosing (with a choice of two toppings from a large selection), 2 side dishes (with a choice of dips/sauces), 2 glasses of Prosecco (non-alcoholic) and an Eton Mess dessert to share. All for a very reasonable £35 all in. The food was fantastic, very friendly and efficient waiting staff, and they were very accommodating as they agreed to serve us late on in the wet evening. Other diners in the restaurant similarly seemed very happy with their food and the general atmosphere. A good recommendation if you want a tasty pizza, good service and friendly staff in Gatehouse of Fleet 😀

Ordered our takeaway on the way to my table tennis session and it was ready right on time after I had worked up an appetite. As usual the pizzas were beautiful and very tasty and I was served by very friendly, helpful staff. By far the best pizzas we have ever eaten. We'll be back !!

The best in the area. Popped in for a lovely vegetarian lunch and boy was it delicious 😋 The customer service was five star as well as the delicious salad I had. Didn’t think I would eat it all, but I did. Couldn’t put my fork down. I come down here with work every six weeks and stay in the Murray (review to follow) and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you Kerry, Rob and the team.

Great selection of vegetarian and vegan pizzas, served by friendly, welcoming staff. Meat eaters, give it a go! Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing gluten free pizza best I’ve had eating out. Lovely friendly staff. Will definitely be back 😀

Amazing gluten free pizza - don’t know their secret but these were the best GF pizzas we’ve ever had and so nice to have a good selection of gluten free cakes not just the usuals brownie - thank you for great food and service

A great little find. Lovely staff, very welcoming Interesting selection of toppings for the home made pizzas and very tasty. Definitely worth a visit!

Went here for a bit of dinner and it was absolutely lovely. I'm not a vegetarian however the food was really tasty and the service was amazing. Friendly staff with excellent food.

Wasn’t aware when we entered following a 9 mile hike to see Rutherford Monument that this establishment was vegetation. Since we were suitably ensconced we decided to stay as it was welcoming. My partner had Jackfruit Barbecue baguette and I had Cheese Haggis baguette with homemade lemonade. Both baguettes were delicious as was my lemonade however my Partner was particularly delighted as she was unsure she would enjoy hers. It’s now on the shopping list when we get back home. Our visit to this wee Craft shop / Cafe was most definitely enjoyable and the staff were very pleasant. We would recommend it to anyone when they’re in Gatehouse of Fleet.

We had really tasty garlic bread and pizzas in a lovely friendly atmosphere. We eyed up some lovely deserts but were too full after our pizzas and opted to finish with coffees. Those also hit the spot very nicely. Well worth a visit and probably best to book as it was pretty full when we were there. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Gatehouse.

Amazing artisan pizza great toppings fresh and very tasty Very friendly staff Dogs welcome very family friendly! Highly recommended

Went here for lunch. Pizzas absolutely amazing. Staff very pleasant. Bit of a wait for food to arrive but well worth the wait.

Stopped at The Crafty Crow on a hot sunny afternoon while exploring Gatehouse of Fleet. The staff were very attentive and friendly and big fans of dogs! We ordered a chai tea and a breakfast tea plus a glass of homemade lemonade, which was delicious and refreshing and just what was needed. The waitress brought our dog some water and a couple of dog biscuits which were very much appreciated. If we hadn’t already eaten, we would have ordered something. I’m certain we will be back here in the future.

Had two lovely pizzas from here. Really fresh and tasty and very friendly service too. Didn't try them but the cakes looked fantastic.

Me and daughter was looking for a pizza and we found this little place. Absolutely fantastic. is the best pizza I’ve had for a very very long time and all home made. all the staff are very friendly and make you welcome. there’s even a cute little shop next door. it caters for everyone. go and try absolutely fantastic won’t be disappointed

Don't normally choose vegetarian but my partner and I were both glad we did. Delicious pear and feta salad. And the Tea was the best I'd had in Scotland

Kerry, you have such a lovely place, you must be so proud! Cathy, thank you for making it such a wonderful afternoon - please thank the #1 Chefs for me. Pizza & Love to all. Superb food, superb service, highly recommended.

Called for a late lunch, lucky to get a table as it's was very busy, the staff were super friendly and very helpful despite been so busy. We all had pizza which was delicious as always . Lovely homemade lemonade was very refreshing , will...

Excellent. Ordered in advance, ready at agreed time. Friendly efficient service. Tasted fantastic. will be back soon..

Lovely friendly atmosphere with a great Vegetarian and Vegan menu plus lots for the omnivore! The pizzas looked varied and delicious

Very lovely food and friendly staff. I wouldn't normally go for vegetarian food, but it was very tasty and a great experience

We entered the town on a Sunday afternoon, more in hope than expectation. Even just a veggie option would do for a vegan and his veggie brother. However, we found a superb gem of a vegan restaurant, serving the most wonderful pizzas. My brother and...

The food was freshly prepared and very tasty. The pear and goats cheese salad was delicious and looked gorgeous with a range of colours and a generous helping of pomegranate seeds. My husband's pizza was of a high standard, fresh and with a generous amount...

Absolutely excellent cafe, with friendly staff and delicious food. Individually cooked Pizza was excellent and can really recommend that choice. Big variety of toppings to choose from.

Enjoyed another visit to the Crafty Crow. This time 8 of us for a friend's birthday. Superb pizzas, generous salads and desserts. Not usually a dessert fan, but the salted caramel super sundae was delicious! Service was spot on. See you again soon! Ali

Me and a friend went for a pizza and it was outstanding! Fresh ingredients and fresh banter from the owners.highly recommend and will return.

The food here was first class and a simply delightful experience. We were over from Dublin visiting our daughter and her lovely family. We always dine out on one evening. And the kids picked this pizza place. From the moment we crossed the door we...

Been a wee while since we've been organised enough on a Friday night to treat ourselves to a Crafty Crow pizza. They were inhaled! Choices were Mexicana and a craft your own with garlic and parsley oil with mushrooms, tenderstem broccoli and olives. Currently a...

As my beloved is vegetarian it is important to find restaurants that actually serve proper vegetarian dishes and not just the token vegetarian meal. The Crafty Crow is a small family run eating house. The menu is extensive with many delicious dishes on offer all...

The Crafty Crow is a lovely little delight, less than a two minute walk from the main car parking area in Gatehouse. The staff are just brilliant and the food is excellent. A very warm and welcoming environment to sit and have a coffee or...

Our 3rd visit to this lovely cafe, just can't resist the pizzas. Sat outside for a margherita, goats cheese and red pepper and a Mediterranean, all absolutely delicious. Friendly staff, good food , Already looking forward to the next visit.

Superb selection of pizzas. We ordered 15 pizzas to take away!! Everything was exactly as ordered and toppings great. The chilli and rice was also really tasty. Will defo order again.

very pretty and quiet place. lovely owner, very kind staff, beautiful place would 100% recommend going there. Amazing shop a variety of things to purchase. Also dog friendly which is very good.

Probably the worst vegan experience in many years. I ordered sour dough panini and what was served up was cheap catering baguette masquerading and priced as sour dough. Surely its about time Trading Standards dealt with this type of con? Fillings meagre and side salad...

Our second visit to the Crafty Crow today. We're relatively local, so regularly pass Gatehouse of Fleet, and often visit Cally Garden ( see separate review ). The cakes have been lovely on both visits - as my GP has recently pronounced me gluten intolerant...

Cafe was recommended to us, it just serves vegetarian food, the food was excellent and staff very friendly, reasonably priced too

Ordered online - ordered a pizza and a garlic bread with cheese, both were not as advertised. won’t be going back The pear and goats cheese pizza didn’t come with either the rocket or the pomegranate both of which were likely needed to balance the...

Great vegetarian cafe. The pizzas are freshly made cooked to order. There is a range of imaginative toppings and they are all delicious.

Heard good things about the pizza so went to try it for ourselves. Ordered online which was really easy, turned up and met two lovely ladies who were making our pizzas. The ingredients were all fresh and very tasty. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful, delicious pizzas all freshly made, great desserts and coffee. Dog friendly and service very good. Will definately come again

Visited whilst on holiday in the area. Had a lovely lunch, tasty pizzas and good coffee. Didn’t get chance to sample to delicious looking cakes though. Good, friendly service - would definitely recommend.

Excellent build your own vegetarian pizza. Lovely thin base. Staff were very helpful and pizzas arrived after a short wait.

I was so relieved to find this wee gem on a recent visit to Gatehouse of Fleet with my wee girl. After a fun morning exploring and great success on my daughters part at finding the best stick in Galloway we were caught short as...

Lovely location and great customer service. The food is delicious, especially when you've been out in the rain and get a a hot chocolate! Recommend.

Food was absolutely delicious and staff super friendly. The place was described to us as a restaurant but actually it is more of a cafe, and as a result not licensed. This was not made clear. It’s reasonable to expect a venue selling evening meals...

Arrived for a quick pit stop and found this gem run by Billy and Kerry. Lovely home made pizza and scone - all vegan and delicious - treats for the dog and even played my nephews music on their sound system #perfectpitstop #tripshivers #highlyrecommended

Came here last year, absolutely astonishing food. Fed our pups dog treats as well as the wonderful customer service from the owner and her wonderful son. 10/10 recommend

We had a delicious meal at the Crafty Crow - the best vegetarian meal we’ve had in a very long time time . Tasty pizza and a fabulous Eton mess We highly recommend this friendly restaurant . You will not be disappointed !!

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch in this great little cafe. We both had a pizza and they were perfect - great flavours and lovely thin bases. To be honest everting on the menu sounded delicious. Luckily we still had room for sticky toffee pudding and...

We popped in for a ‘crafty brew’ and a slice of biscotti cheesecake, such a lovely place, we booked our evening meal and it didn’t disappoint- pizza’s so perfect and delicious and amazing desserts too! Well worth a visit, be it for a cuppa or...

We came for lunch which was delicious. The shop entrance through the cafe was right by where we were sitting so we could see the shop assistant going about her job. The waitress wore a mask at all times.

Had a family meal last night. I went for the chickpea fritter starter and the Mexicana pizza. The food was excellent and reasonably priced and the staff were very pleasant and engaging.

We were staying in the village and I dropped in Very unusual gifts Beautiful silver gift and glass window hangers

We arrived in Gatehouse of Fleet at 8.20pm after a 5 hour drive, tired & hungry. We went to The Crafty Crow for take out pizza, they were about to close but took pity on us and made us delicious pizzas which totally hit the...

Stayed in Gatehouse many times but this was first time at Crafty Crow. Booked on phone nice table very clean and well presented. Hot chocolate was great a really warmer to start off. The menu was full of really interesting courses and extensive handmade pizza...

A modest little restaurant/cafe, serving top class vegetarian/vegan dishes. We lunched here to-day - couscous and roasted veg salad was excellent. Returned in the evening and had pizza and chilli - both extremely good - all fresh ingredients, nothing out of a tin. Friendly and...

We had wonderful pizza here. Mine was pear and goats cheese (sourdough). The other half had Mexicana on thin crust. We had a can of pop each and I had a coffee. We booked to ensure a table and it’s just as well as it...

Honestly the wild mushroom pizza is the best vegan pizza I have ever had. Vegan chocolate brownie and vegan ice-cream was damn fine too.

We booked to have a quick dinner after lovely sunny day on the beach and were shocked to receive crafty tastiest pizza ever. I am usually a pasta person but I ate whole pizza ingredients were amazing and staff were amazing I felt sorry for...

This is the tastiest pizza we've eaten, my wife had the Margarita and I had the Mexican. My wife doesn't usually eat a whole pizza and I was gutted the see the last slice disappear before my eyes! Highly recommended, next time I will order...

The menu is very simple, but the food is very good and the people running the restaurant are very friendly. I had a mushroom pizza and my wife had the nachos, both of which were excellent. It is dog friendly and they also do takeaway...

Absolutely amazing pizza, friendly people, feels like home ! Gatehouse has its little gem 👌🤗 thanks !

Call here today for a coffee and cake I had a latte hubby a mocha and both a slice of spiced ginger cake . To say it was nice is an understatement it was gorgeous. Lovely light gently spiced cake . The coffee was lovely...

I stopped by on a sunny morning for a delicious Latte and Moly 🐕 was given ta bowl of water. The same evening I ordered the Bonnie Scot pizza. Dear reader it was a delicious taste of Scotland. With super friendly staff, this cafe has...

A wonderful indie establishment selling veg and vegan food. Pizzas are their expertise with a wide array of chefs specials but it’s to their credit that even their margaritas are outstanding. Staff could not have done anymore to make us feel welcome, as someone that...

Had supper here while on a property viewing trip in the area. It was just great, food delicious and freshly prepared. Customer care first rate...Very dog friendly.... Will be back soon... Can't recommend it enough.

We had a takeaway pizza and garlic bread and it was delicious. The base was thin and crispy and the toppings very flavourful. The staff were also very welcoming and friendly. Would return!

I have visited this place many times pre covid and was very pleased when it reopened after Lockdown. The cafe has altered to provide delicious takeaway pizza which you can order and pay online and pick up safely when ready. The pizzas are fresh and...

We ordered online and collected from cafe due to Covid. All of the food was really good. The highlight was undoubtedly the Vegetarian Tikka Masala Pizza topped with Cauliflower, Spinach and chinks of paneer cheese. Beautiful. Order worked well and was ready to collect at...

Great pizzas for takeaway.. Lots of choice of toppings so you can create your own or they have different varieties. Friendly helpful owners. Had pizzas two nights in a row. So good. Would definitely return.

Fantastic pizza, I chose the mushroom one, lovely crust, topping the same, I ate the lot. My husband commented on that he has never seen me eating a whoke one! I am very fussy about pizzas, this was delicious! Thank you!

Take a bow for 10/10 guys, the fajita pizza was the best pizza I’ve tasted, wonderfully crispy, thin and fresh, loved the lime and coriander. Other two pizzas were also lovely, great gluten free base on one and lovely cooked aubergine and feta with balsamic...

My partner and I ordered pizza's from The Crafty Crow on Friday night - they were amazingly good. I had the Mexicana and she selected her own toppings based on the Mediterranean one. I am normally a meat eater and all options were vegan /...

We had a family pizza night, called when they opened to place our order. The order was ready at the prearranged time. The pizza was absolutely delicious, we can't recommend it highly enough! The toppings were creative and delicous, everything was freshly made. Can't wait...

I had a breakfast dish. Poached eggs (hard yolk) asparagus (cold) tomato (warm) tattie scones (hard, very difficult to cut through) garlic mushrooms (missing) toast (wet, soggy). Worst breakfast dish I’ve ever had.

Food delicious! extremely friendly and lovely environment. Beautiful shop with such an array of goods. Apple pie and coffee absolutely fantastic. Wish it was on my doorstep. And it is dog friendly so good for dog walkers!

As a local in Gatehouse, I regularly visit this cafe and shop for the tasty food and beautiful jewellery, incense and unique gifts. I'm always warmly welcomed there and enjoy a nice silly chat with the owners while waiting for my food - which is...

We enjoyed a lovely lunch today at this great little cafe, which we’ve visited several times now on our frequent trips to Gatehouse. We chose a “craft your own” pizza, which owner Billy made for us with great care - so tasty and delicious, together...

We were here at the weekend for lunch. It's so nice to have a dedicated Veggie/Vegan cafe to come to and I hadn't realized before we got here that it was dog friendly which was a bonus. It's not a huge menu but the food...

We come to Galloway every year and were delighted this autumn to be told of this new cafe. We visited several times and were impressed with the menu and the lovely couple who run the place. We both agreed that our sandwiches and salad were...

Staff were friendly and pleasant. The cafe seating area is rather souless and clinical, though clean. Toilet was kept clean too. Great that the offer is a vegetarian aimed menu and this is to be applauded. Though the choice was not huge. The shop sold...

Wow!!! What a fantastic place! The cafe is immaculately clean and delicious food! I’m vegan and I was delighted with a full vegan breakfast to include vegan haggis and a delicious vegan hot chocolate with almond milk ! Hubby had the Full veggie breakfast and...

Ok, so this is a cafe that serves vegetarian and vegan food. If you aren't either of these, do NOT make the mistake of thinking there's nothing on the menu for you. I often eat meat but more importantly I enjoy good, wholesome and tasty...

The food and service was simply delicious and excellent! Great for me as vegetarian to be able to select anything off the menu. Sat outside with a coffee and watched the world slowly trundle by. I will definitely be returning as this is now my...

Very friendly staff. The place is spotless. We bought cakes to take out and they were delicious. Fresh, local food. Gluten free and vegan menus. Good value for money.

Really welcoming. Informal, relaxed, spotless. Absolutely delicious vegetable soup. Our son had a really tasty freshly made pizza, baked to perfection. Variety of sauces and toppings available. Would love to go back and try the extensive breakfast and brunch menu and mouthwatering deserts. Vegans well...

I visited this delightful little cafe on two consecutive days. Had lunch on first day and as we were staying overnight in Gatehouse we returned for breakfast. The cafe itself is light and airy and very welcoming. Seats around 20 people inside and has plenty...
