Visited for our friend's wedding. Venue was stunning, set out beautifully and very clean. The weather was beautiful so we got to enjoy the gorgeous views, drinks were reasonably priced to. My husband was in a wheelchair after just having an operation and the staff were very helpful, particularly Jack who went above and beyond to help, he even made time to come and check on us several times throughout the day, fetching ice for his leg ect....very polite and easy to talk to making our experience enjoyable. The only downside was the gab between the service at 1pm and the meal at 5pm with no food in between, not sure if this is the normal layout for their weddings but maybe canapés or something would have gone down well (and soaked up the alcohol!). We then ate again around 9pm but to be honest wasn't that hungry from have the 3 course meal later on .

Great tiger prawns to start and chocolate brownie to finish. The goats cheese ravioli for mains was disappointing as the pasta wasn’t fresh. The restaurant had a beautiful view over Loch Lomond and good service.

Staying local so came here for a meal. Booked in advance and reserved a table in the window over looking the stunning views of Loch Lomond. Soup & chicken wings as starters were both delicious as was the fish & chips & burger mains. I was looking forward to dessert but was far too full & had to decline. Staff were friendly, polite, professional & efficient. All were wearing face masks. It felt very safe in the current covid times.

Fantastic location by Loch Lomond - breathtaking! Unfortunately this does not goes for the restaurant;1) waiter demonstrating very limited knowledge about the fish on the menu 2) food served before drinks!3) No draft beer offered....4) Overcooked fish and very very salty5) No vegetables...If you are out for a meal - I suggest you look elsewhere!

We dined here two nights ago on our last night in Loch Lomond. We had pre-booked given the situation with Covid and that there weren't a lot of other restaurants/hotels in the area we were staying to get to on foot. We were not disappointed. I have read other reviews which are negative and I can't understand them. The restaurant staff were very accommodating allowing us to come a couple of hours earlier to have a drink. We sat outside overlooking the Loch - amazing views, and then when it was getting a bit chilly we came in and sat in the lobby. The adherence to social distancing and health and safety was very good, they had a one way system and all of the staff wore masks when walking about and serving. It is a lovely venue. When we went into the main restaurant to eat, we were aware there were probably a lot less people in than usual due to the fact that they will be limited on numbers. That said, it was full, and there was a lovely cosy atmosphere. The food however was the crowning glory. The menu itself had the usual mains (fish and chips, burgers etc) but they had specials and we ordered two steaks, with a pepper sauce and black pudding. They were absolutely beautiful, cooked just right and so tasty. The starter prawns that we shared were so tasty as well. We felt it was reasonably priced for the venue and type of food we ordered and you could eat cheaper if you wanted something like a burger, however we were treating ourselves as it was our last night. I can't find any complaint and I can only say the staff were extremely helpful and I feel for them given what must be quite stressful times having to adhere to the Covid regulations and have less diners due to that. An earlier comment about no draft beer - again I don't think this is something that is a major fault and my partner (who loves his draft lager) was quite happy to have a larger bottle of one of those available. I cannot say anything negative about this place and I would definitely recommend dining here.

We were staying at the Loch Lomond guest house and lodges for one night and booked a table so we didn’t have to get in the car. Only time we could get in was 8pm so thought it must have been good. And we weren’t disappointed. Lots of information about social distancing and tables had been laid to to maximise this to.We were both very impressed with the food. Both of us had soups which were lovely, and I had the pan seared cod from specials menu which was beautifully cooked. Couldn’t really appreciate the view over the loch as it was so dark but can see it would be stunning.

The tables seem a little lost due to Covid restrictions and the very high ceilings, which did not help to create an atmosphere, so the evening was a bit bland. Service was good, plenty of staff to serve. Pub style food but it was very good, and everyone enjoyed their starters and mains.

My husband and I visited here on the August bank holiday weekend and I have to say that this restaurant is a lovely, little gem. We found this restaurant by chance through searching for places to eat in the area on our weekend away and we were not disappointed. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the service was excellent. The food arrived promptly and tasted really nice! My partner and I both ordered the steak and ale pie with chips and broccoli off the specials menu and garlic buttered sourdough on the side which were both so nice! Then for dessert I got the chocolate orange cheesecake with ice cream and my partner got the chocolate brownie with cream which were both excellent. The covid 19 measures put in place in this restaurant were excellent and we felt completely safe the whole time we were there. All staff members had masks on and the tables and chairs were cleaned properly after each sitting. Each of the tables were also adequately spaced apart and there were arrows on the floor so visitors were directed to walk one way around the restaurant. Furthermore, upon arrival we were told to please wear masks if you can whilst moving around the restaurant so we felt 100% safe. The view from the restaurant is lovely and made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend!

We were pleasantly surprised by our trip to The Cruin, where we were greeted at the door by staff wearing face masks. We were asked to wear a face covering when walking around the restaurant. There was hand sanitiser upon arrival and stationed outside the toilets. Bar staff were also in face masks and kept a comfortable distance from guests at all times. There was a one way system indicated on the floor which guided guests around the restaurant. Staff were highly attentive and could be seen cleaning down tables/ chairs as soon as a table left. We felt totally safe eating out here, as it was our first experience in a restaurant since the pandemic.The food was prepared in a quick manner and to a high standard. The fish and chips were tasty but the real highlight was the dessert (Orange and Chocolate Torte and Sticky Toffee Pudding). Would definitely recommend and will be coming back if we visit the area again!Thank you

We were invited to a wedding of our friends' daughter some time ago on a keep this date free basis and when it came around it was such a wonderful occasion that it is worth mentioning the venue, the Cruin restaurant on Loch Lomondside. The venue is about a mile or so beyond the better known Duck Bay Marina and is part of an estate involving newly built wooden lodges and chalets. The restaurant can only take 100 guests for a function and our menus were decided prior to the day. The food is absolutely delicious, plenty of it and set in a well laid out function room, also we had nibbles and canopes all wonderfully cooked and prepared , served by a happy smiling staff where nothing is too much to help. Best wedding meal etc that I can remember and a lovely evening dancing to a live band. Excellent day all round .

We came to The Cruin for lunch one day, it's a little hidden gem with stunning views over Loch Lomond. I asked for vegan food and the chef gave me a number of options based on the fresh food he had in. It was delicious. My partner had the best meat burger he's ever had there. So we went back a few times for food and decided to get married there we liked it so much.

Not many people seem to know the Cruin’s now open as a restaurant outside of weddings and events - I hope the word spreads soon though. The staff are amazing, the menu makes the most of fresh and local produce and the views are stunning. The food was really good but my salmon was a little over cooked. The scallops and black pudding starter were incredible! I really hope they’re still running outside of events when I go back next year.

What a lovely place to have a meal. Restaurant a bit spacious but what a view of Loch Lomond. Food was delicious, the meatball starter definitely worth trying, so tasty and enough to share between the two of us. I had the salmon and my husband the slow cooked beef, both meals excellent. Friendly attentive staff too. Best check website before booking as restaurant is often closed for private functions, but do go there if you can.

I ordered a focaccia smoke salmon as I thought the starter wouldn’t be enough? WRONG! I was so embarrassed when out came the biggest helping of smoke salmon on a main course I’ve ever seen how could I manage this ?

As for the Cruin itself it has everything you could wish for - good bar, friendly and efficient staff and delicious food.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was incredible, and the venue is so beautiful, with plenty of areas for guests to socialise and lots of excellent photo spots. I did find the Guestplan wedding planner website a little confusing at first, but I always got prompt responses to any email queries I sent (of which there were many!) and it was a great tool when I got to grips with it. The atmosphere of The Cruin is warm and inviting and I can't recommend it highly enough as a wedding venue.

Fabulous venue for a stunning wedding. Excellent food, first class service. Only problem was the hot glaring sun shining through the roof windows onto the guest tables,( 28° on that day) with no blinds/shades, which was very uncomfortable.

We were evening guests at The Cruin a few years ago and although we hadn't seen it in daylight we loved the warm, relaxed atmosphere. So when it came time to choose a venue for our wedding (from Australia – with the added hassle that came with planning from overseas), it ticked all the boxes and we went with The Cruin. Well now that the wedding is over we couldn't be more pleased with our choice. The Cruin took care of everything in the lead up and especially on the day, leaving us to just relax and enjoy it. They did a lot of nice little touches like saving canapes for us and giving me a specially made meal since I have some dietary issues, even though I never asked for it. Nothing was too much trouble. We had been tempted to have a more DIY/barn type of wedding but didn't appreciate how much better it would make the day having a venue that runs everything for you. The area is so beautiful as well, our photos are amazing. Couldn't recommend The Cruin highly enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 night stay at The Cruin! They arranged everything for my friends wedding and the lodge I stayed was lovely! I can't fault it in any way! The complete vegetarian menus was faultless! I will definitely return here again! The staff couldn't be more accommodating! Thank You!

After looking at a million different venues for our wedding we booked the Cruin immediately after our first meeting with them - they were so lovely and the first venue we met with that didn't make us feel like "just another wedding". We worked with Hannah and David over 12 months or so and they were so on top of everything - nothing was stressful and it meant that we could just look forward to celebrating with our friends and family!On the day itself, everything worked like clockwork and despite how much work must have gone on behind the scenes to make it all happen, it was seamless!Oh, and the food!!! Absolutely the best food I have ever been served at a wedding...people raved about it to us all night (and again afterwards!) Unreal!We can't thank them enough for making our wedding everything we wanted it to be!Erin and Andrew

Was here for my nieces birthday and we all had a lovely meal and despite the place being very busy service was good. Can recommend this place but better to book to ensure you get a table

I honestly don't know where to begin!! After nearly 2 years of planning we finally said I do and had the most amazing reception in the cruin. We were met by Hannah the wedding coordinator and from the moment we met her we instantly knew how amazing she was going to be. She helped us plan and organise our whole reception as we didn't even know where to start. She was so helpful throughout all our meetings. Nothing was ever too much. She took the stress off of the venue completely as I trusted her and her team 100%! It is just the perfect venue and Hannah and everyone else who works there are amazing!! Thank you!!

We visited the Cruin a few days ago and whilst the atmosphere and service was nice, the food was bland and quite boring. We probably would return for drinks but not food

We held our wedding here last month and I am so glad we did! Everything was amazing, venue, food and staff. I had such an enjoyable stress free day mostly due to their organisation of everything. David is fabulous and makes sure everything goes to plan. Would highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding.

We had our wedding reception here on the 10th June 2017. From time of booking just under a year ago we had no problems with communication from staff (our main contact was Hannah) and even had access to a personal online guest list and table plan that we could amend right up to two weeks before the wedding. From pictures you can see that the venue is beautiful with stunning views over Loch Lomond but it was our whole experience here that would lead us to recommend the Cruin to anyone planning their wedding. On the day David and the rest of the staff were friendly and professional -my husband and I could just relax and enjoy our day. The meal was superb as was the evening buffet and so many of our guests have commented on the quality of service and food throughout the day and eveningThe following morning we had arranged a breakfast at the Cruin for close family and again the service and food was fantastic.We had left gifts, cards, cake, flowers, and some decorations the previous night and these had all been carefully gathered together for our collection after breakfast.Cannot fault anything in our whole experience with the Cruin and thank all the staff for helping to make our day so special.

After their wedding in Glasgow, we followed our son and his new bride to the Cruin, just outside Balloch on the shores of loch Lomond. What a venue; what a setting and the weather was nice and sunny too. When we arrived, there was food and drinks in abundance, served by happy, smiling and welcoming staff. After the obligatory photo session was finished, we adjourned to the dining room, around 100 guests, where we had to wait, again for the obligatory speeches to finish, before being served the most fantastic dinner. Cullen skink soup, lovely sorby, beef daube, a magical dessert of fruit and ice cream, coffee, tea and whatever else, tablet I think. Naturally the food was accompanied by salads, vegetables etc. but I can only describe what I had to eat. The menu was varied in other words and everyone really did enjoy it. The serving staff complimented the kitchen staff. They were kind, considerate, friendly, efficient and I cannot praise them all highly enough. Some hours later, the evening guests arrived, in all probably another 100 and were treated to another fantastic display of food, the buffet. Sadly I could only manage four pieces of chicken, a small pizza and one or two other bites, otherwise I would have burst!The immediate families of the bride and groom returned the following morning for breakfast, a traditional Scottish one consisting of a huge platter each of egg, sausage, potato scone, white and black pudding, tomato, mushroom and a massive serving of beans, my own personal favourite, together with as much toast as we wanted, tea and coffee.This venue has several chalets on site for the use of guests, which is handy for anyone wishing to stay overnight or even longer. I can thoroughly and honestly recommend this venue, The Cruin.

The whole day went without a hitch, the meal was excellent as was the service - 126 very happy people.We would highly recommend this venue for a wedding or for a meal.Well done to Manager David and all his staff.

This is a catering wagon/van on the Old Road through Salen. It's now called Taste of Mull To Go. Food is good quality, freshly cooking and good value. The people who run it are lovely and chatty, very friendly and accommodating. Definitely will go back when we are next on Mull

Tuvimos una cena increíble aquí durante su estancia en el B&B.; Paul sirve la comida de Joan. Ella es muy capaz, el ajuste con menús para satisfacer necesidades dietéticas. Para nosotros, lo que significaba que la mayoría con dos pescetarians vegetariano. No se preocupe, la berenjena salchicha ahumada era divina y la lubina cocinado a la perfección. Felicitaciones.
