The Drovers Inn in Angus

I have recently moved to the area and was looking forward to a lovely Mother's Day meal at The Drovers after it was highly recommended. Though the food and service was great, the overall experience was very disappointing. On arrival, we were informed our table was in a corner in the bar area despite booking a table at the restaurant. When I spoke to the manager, she was dismissive and informed me it would be a 45 minute wait for a table in the restaurant. The bar area was quiet, cold and had absolutely no atmosphere. During our meal, it was very upsetting to hear the manager speaking loudly to another customer how she had purposely 'over booked' and only had to "chuck" two tables in the bar. The manager clearly had no self awareness and was undoubtedly in earshot. Though the meal was delicious, I was not planning to spend £230 on a Mother's Day meal for the family to sit in a cold, quiet bar area! I will sadly not be back.

Ein sehr nettes Restaurant, ausgefallene gute Küche, auch für Vegetarier! Sehr vielseitig und raffiniert. Unfassbar gut - die Cheesecake des Hauses. Wir kommen sicher wieder!

What a find this place is. The fire was warm, the staff were fantastic and the food was excellent. Even our two Labradors enjoyed it.

A hidden gem well worth the effort to visit. The food was excellent, well prepared, well cooked and in particular very well seasoned. As an added bonus the horseradish sauce was freshly made! The waiting staff were well organised, friendly and efficient. Well done to everyone and thank you.

Amazing food as usual! Pork belly starter tasted superb Lamb delicious so tender and tasty Dessert fresh and beautifully presented! Our go to place never disappoints Great staff too!

Absolutely first class from the welcome through the door to leaving. It was steak night and we were invited out for our friend’s birthday. It was sirloin in the menu and I opted for a rare to medium with the brandy and mushroom sauce. Due to an arm injury I struggle cutting food at the moment and the member of the serving team overheard me saying to my husband that he’d need to cut my steak. They kindly said not to worry and, if I preferred, they’d have the chef do that for me. When my steak arrived I was not disappointed! It was cooked and cut to perfection. I followed up with the white chocolate and raspberry gateaux. One word….Divine!! The service and food was absolutely top notch and all guests in our party of 4 reflected this. We’ll certainly be back!

Meal excellent, staff very friendly and attentive. Fantastic. Nice homely atmosphere. Good wide ranging menu.

This place is just perfect. It's in the middle of nowhere but it's ideal. The location is superb. If you were to have a wedding, a party, dinner or just go to the pub and have a drink. Ideal. The food is 10 out of 10 and the staff are so good and professional. I literally have no complaints and I can't wait to go back. I got the beef roast and it was a 10 out of 10.

Amazing food service and ambience. Cauliflower and truffle soup gorg warm rolls. Steak pie the best in Angus! Great portions And dog friendly! Woof

Chose The Drovers for refreshments following my late wife's funeral. The spread that was laid out was fantastic. Warm sausage rolls, copious sandwiches with various fillings on white and brown bread, and delicious homemade cakes. Plenty of tea and coffee served by pleasant, friendly staff, who made our party very welcome. They even supplied boxes for the few leftovers to be taken home. I would highly recommend The Drovers at Memus.

Sunday roast was delicious, everything cooked to perfection. Desserts were incredible too. Top service also. We can't wait to return.

Celebrating a special birthday with my best mate….Great ambiance and the food was delicious. Superb twist on a prawn cocktail with a bit a kick, followed by duck cooked to perfection and completely full at the end. Compliments to the chef and staff. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Disgusted in the service from the manager Kim she must have me mistaken as a different person and has accused me of complaining every time I’m in there as I have never complained before I would class my self as a good customer will a food bill of £100+ most times and this time I was talked to like rubbish Appalling treatment of a customer and refused to let me speak to the owner can’t complain about the boy who served us as he was a lovely young man but this time we got referred to Kim and well she’s accused me of sending a fillet steak back last time I was there what I have never ordered as I don’t eat fillet steak! My husband has complained once in the past over raw lamb and they then gave him the same lamb back what he still paid for I’m so upset over they way I have been spoken to also she told me she won’t forget me like I’m some kind of deviant would not recommend place used to be 10/10 but has gone down hill and food is average and treat the customers like there doing you a favour buy serving you

After a *strenuous* hike at Glen Prosen our group of 16 lucked upon the Drover's Inn at a weird 3pm not-lunch/not-dinner hour. The cherry blossoms were blowing in the air and piled on the immaculate grass. I thought maybe I had died on the hike and was now in heaven. Close! The staff accommodated our large and unannounced party and we had a delicious and memorable meal. Hip hip hooray, our best meal of the trip!

Best roast dinner ever great service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend. 👍👌👍 Menu chose was great.

We booked in here for a big meal after a day out hillwalking. Did not disappoint and cannot fault a thing. Service was good. Risotto was tasty but really enjoyed the brie and onion tart for the starter. Too full for desserts but they looked...

I’ve visited The Drovers many times over the years and the food quality and cleanliness is now terrible. The food is overpriced and bland. We were seated in the bar area and the dust covered light shades and cobwebs were off-putting!

My second visit in two days to the most charming pub and restaurant. The staff are amazingly friendly and talented. The environment is beautiful, a relaxed country modern chic feel with open fires and gorgeous decor. The hot chocolate was made by Agnes, it is...

Lovely location, beautiful restaurant and food. It’s a family favourite! It’s a little bit of a drive but worth the visit.

My parents love coming here for a meal, so took me for my birthday. I opted for the beef burger, which was pretty large! Very tasty though, as were the chips, coleslaw & salad. It's a nice wee place, friendly staff with delicious food.

The wife and I decided to go to Drovers for lunch on Saturday. The weather was nice and we decided to eat outside. As we were seated there was a man tinkering about the gardens. As our meals were served he decided to jump onto...

Catered for not just the adults but also the children. Food was amazing - especially the wood pigeon and venison. Well worth a visit.

Had a delicious lunch, on an extremely wet day. The restaurant was busy and the two servers on duty were run off their feet. Several guests arrived unexpectedly, insisting they had made a booking, but in fact they had confused the phone number because there's another 'Drovers' in a different part of Scotland. The servers felt they couldn't turn people away in such horrible weather, and heroically took care of far more guests than usual. They deserve Michelin stars for service. Oh, and the food was great too.

The restaurant has really nice decor and furnishings. The nice soft lighting and the wood burning crackling away sets up a lovely atmosphere. The two waitresses on that night were excellent. Really friendly, helpful and efficient. We were a bit greedy and had all three courses. And cocktails beforehand too. All beautifully presented and delicious. The menu is very varied with a great section for vegan and vegetarians too. ( the beetroot rissoto was the best I've ever had ! ). Every one of us were really impressed by every single course served. Everything was perfect.

After a pretty challenging hike from Rowardennan, along Loch Lomond, I had to stop somewhere to think about how to get to Crianlarich. Fortunately, I found this pub. The staff gave me some hints on the bus service that could potentially take me to my destination. Since I had some free time until the bus arrived, I just decided to eat something there while waiting. I got a burger followed by a sticky toffee pudding. Both were good. What's the most memorable about the place is its decor - the slightly quirky/spooky vibe of it. It was fun. And the very welcoming staff is also noteworthy!

We had a meal in the bar to celebrate our daughter's 21st. Food was great. Vegetarian options were imaginative and delicious. Steak was also superb. Service was friendly and helpful but at the same time unobtrusive. The previous time that we visited in July 2021 it was all equally good.Would have no hesitation in recommending.

Visited this place in September as stayed locally for a weeks holiday. Staff are welcoming and the food was lovely. We sat in the bar as we had a dog with us. The staff were very attentive to both humans and their furry friends. Lovely log burner and décor was very nice too. They had a very big garden and from what I could see a very nice restaurant too. Highly recommend this place if in the area.

Found this place as local to where we are staying at Hunters Cabins. What a lovely place, staff very friendly and helpful, we had seared salmon and Aberdeen Angus steak and it was beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

Having visited The Drovers Inn many times, they have never disappointed. The menu is very diverse with lovely Scottish cuisine, we both had the venison and it was beautiful. Service was great. Lovely experience.

First class service. Great food. Lovely surroundings. Immaculately clean. Says it all. Cannot recommend the place highly enough. Many thanks for a great meal 👍

We came to a 25th wedding celebration and the staff were all brilliant, attentive and friendly. Never having to wait long for a drink. The menu choices were perfect and the food was superb! It’s a beautiful setting and they made the room look so lovely. We can’t wait to go back for another meal soon. Would highly recommend for a family meal or a special celebration

Celebrated our silver wedding anniversary with vow renewal at the drovers.Couldn’t fault the service and food which were amazing. Lyndsey and her team couldn’t have done enough for us from the time of booking till the time we were leaving. Would whole heartedly recommend the Dover’s inn for dining and celebrating a special occasion.

Booked for a family occasion, food and service both first class. Wide range of choices on menu with daily specials to choose from. The ambiance and attention to detail was exemplary. Penny our host for the evening was attentive, personal and a credit to the Drovers. We heartily recommend and look forward to returning soon.

Cycled here after huge disappointment that Glen Clova was closed to non residents. We were weary and hungry. The food and staff at The Drovers soon sorted us out. It was so good we cycled back to take a friend for lunch 2 days later.

Two couples dined here for a Sunday lunch.We had booked and were seated immediately and drinks ordered.We ordered our meals and had a bit of a wait before the starters cameWe all thoroughly enjoyed our starters.After a bit of a wait again, our mains came. We all had the beef and trimmings.The food was delicious and every plate was cleared.Summing up. The service was just within the time frame where you start asking where your food is. The food was all delicious and fresh (probably causing the above mentioned wait). The waitresses ware all lovely and polite. The restaurant is in a beautiful area with lovely, well kept gardens and a play area for kids.Would I recommend or return - most definitely.

We visited this evening for a meal .My husband had risotto and I had the chicken tacos .The tacos were excellent and the risotto very good - though the risotto portion was small.We just had ice cream for dessert which was ok .Waitresses were attentive but the delivery of the food was a little slow ( we didn’t mind too much )The downside of the evening for us was that there was a family with two young children sat at the table opposite- the children ( or one of them ) was very noisy- however this was not the fault of the restaurant itself, but it meant that we couldn’t really talk to each other On the whole we would recommend.

booked party 7 adults 2children 12 and7 waited 1hr 2o mins to be served seemed plenty of staff but very little coherance had not complained about service do not know how long we would have waited food was ok but served on cold plates good family get together spoiled

We had dinner here last nightNot specifically because it was steak nightBut ordered the rib-eyeFab soup to start delish home made mini rollsThe steak was amazing with ‘real’ chips not frozen!!Great value def have to go againAnd lovely waitress who was so helpful smiley and interested!!10/10 to the chef!

Food at the Drovers is really good, the restaurant is friendly and the staff are very efficient. The only slightly negative feedback (and one I have heard from other locals too) is that the food arrives slowly. I am sure this is because it is all assembled fresh, and it is always worth the wait, but eating here can be challenging with small children and tired adults. By the time we finished our main course - which had taken at least 40 mins to arrive after ordering, we were last in the bar. We then waited at least a further half an hour for our puddings, while staff tidied up for the evening around us - with bottles and rubbish being wheeled past our table very noisily. If we had known how long we had to wait, we would not have ordered pudding. Please accept this as constructive criticism - we love the Drovers, but please either tell customers how long their order will take, or at least save clearing up for the night until after diners have left the restaurant.

Little bit mixed about this review. Firstly we had an evening meal there which was very good. We sat outside which was lovely and the staff were lovely. Food was excellent, nice starters and meals were lovely and not too expensive. The girl serving us did forget about brining out our bill so I can understand the reviews saying service is slow, however didn’t mind as she was very apologetic therefore would be unfair to make that an issue. It’s a really lovely pub with great meals. Only issue I have which I felt strongly about - we popped in a few days before our meal it was 6:30, they had room but couldn’t feed us! Can’t understand anywhere that serves food can turn you away at that time of night even though they had a table for us!!! Strange! However glad we got booked in and ate there.

We had a lovely meal from an excellent menu - which had an excellent range of choices. Service was polite attentive and helpful. The wine was so enjoyable that we bought 2 bottles to take home! The price was very good value for money

We had lunch here midweek and were blown away by the quality of the food. We had scallops, smoked duck and cheese soufflé for our starters and each dish was presented beautifully and seasoned perfectly. The mains were equally delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were courteous and efficient, the seating outside on the grass in the orchard was well spaced and very pleasant. Would come back here in a heart-beat !

This restaurant is Michelin star standard, with superb local produce that would grace any gourmand table. The touches that are the hallmark of expert chef’s skills are all in evidence. The staff are gracious and efficient. Worth the 30 mile detour we made to come here. Superb

Arrived during weekday for launch without booking ahead, however staff were most welcoming and being an excellent sunny day arranged an outside table in the very pleasant garden / play area Ordering was carried out in a friendly relaxed manner and the light lunch order for two arrived n good time.The rump steak sandwich and sesame prawn dish were excellent with drinks quickly replenished

We've eaten in the bar a few times but, on this sunny Sunday after lockdown, we chose the restaurant. The array of dishes on the menu was stunning. Service was a little slow, but this was understandable given the presentation. The food was very special. We can't wait to visit again to try some of the other dishes.

Took my parents here for lunch and had a great time! We got a really nice table outside and the weather was beautiful. The beer garden is large and spacious. We shared a couple of the chicken fries for a starter and we all had venison burgers and steak sandwiches for mains. It was all really good. Service is really friendly and helpful and we had a great time. Can’t wait to come back. We also brought our dog as it’s dog friendly inside and outside but got lucky with the weather and so sat outside anyway.

First meal out in over a year. Really looked forward to my birthday treat. Thanks Drovers for messing up the entire order so we left hungry after the starter. To be fair, everyone else’s food looked great and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Look out for a competent waitress if you choose to eat here.

One of the nicest rare sirloin steaks 🥩 eaten for a long time. Recommend the Tuesday steak nights. Lovely friendly atmosphere.

We ate here on the last night of our holiday in the area. The menu offered a great selection of options and we struggled to choose as it was all very appealing. We had a venison dish and a lamb rack dish which were both delicious, generous portions. Staff were helpful and unobtrusive. Another positive is that they are dog friendly inside and outside.

hadn’t been to the drovers in a few years and this was our first date out in over a year, so no presh ... but as I remembered it: food first rate, wine list a bit restricted because pandemic but we found an absolutely killer alberino. staff young, slightly clueless but uniformly charming and very helpful. the chef clearly has some serious chops. the smoked cauliflower mash on the scallops was mental. not cheap, nor should it be. only one short drunk bike ride fae kirrie. we’ll be back again soon wi the mother.

As we approached a joint 60th birthday in December our friends who held their wedding reception in the Drovers (being the first couple to do so) suggested this superb wee restaurant tucked away near the Angus Glens. A most inspired choice as we were treat to a fantastic choice of dishes. Thank you to all the staff who worked 12/12/2020 you made 2 x 60 years young folk birthday into a feasting treat.

My wife and I went there for our 40th anniversary dinner. It was very busy on the run-up to Christmas and had a 1630 sitting. the food was excellent and the menu was quite varied. My wife and I chose different things, but they all had one thing in common, they were delicious. We have been there a number of times over many years and have yet to feel let down. There are many restaurants closer to where we live, but we always come here for something special.

Our sons recommended this place and while it's a wee bit of the A90, it looks like a great set-up (if we ever get good weather).The menus are varied and the food we had was excellent. Staff were friendly and the restaurant is nicely laid out. I could have eaten everything on the menu, so it was a real struggle to settle on one but I was very pleased with the pan fried calf's liver. It was perfectly cooked. Too full for puddings!

We had not been out to lunch since the pandemic began and decided to try the Drovers Inn. The inn is beautifully furnished and the staff were very welcoming and professional while being Covid compliant. The menu is comprehensive and nicely priced. My wife had fish and chips and I had venison. Both meals were generously portioned, well presented and delicious.The Drovers Inn is a real gem and we will certainly be going back.

Having been abroad for a year recently this was our first visit back. It was also unintentionally a private dining experience as reservations around us had been cancelled due to divergence in COVID tiers with Grampian. Table in bar by the burning fire, attentive & friendly service with good respect for safety measures and great food all meant that it was as enjoyable an as ever. Menu made it hard to choose with options that were relevant to the area and season. Settled for Scallops cooked to perfection and a lovely starter of quail 3 ways. Sunday lunch roast for my partner and after some dithering Monkfish (rather than venison) for me. Weren’t sure we had room for pudding but so glad we did. Decided to share a chocolate & whisky delivered with caramel, nuts and coffee ice cream - all the flavours and all the textures a dessert should have this time of year. Didn’t really miss the wine we couldn’t have and felt as snug as bugs. The only downside was having to drive for 30 min afterwards before being able to curl up on the sofa for the rest of the night. Planning to be back in December even if we stay in tier three - can’t wait to try the venison.

Absolutely fantastic food and service as usual! I had the Mushroom soup which was beautiful my fav! Tasty Tacos and the Rhubarb Panna cotta for pudding Wow! Taste sensation thank you x

Family gathering for an anniversary celebration. Have passed by the Drovers on number of occasions but never unfortunately eaten there. All covid restrictions were in place. The food and presentation of the food was excellent. Lovely choices for each of the courses including vegetarian and vegan. The Drovers is in the middle of the country between Kirriemuir, Edzell and Forfar. With sat nav you should easily find your way there. It is definately worth the trip. It also has a lovely garden with seating/umbrellas that I'm is well used during the summer months. We will certainly be back before the summer to sample more of the delights of the Drovers

We used the Drovers Inn as a mid-point location for a small family get together during this challenging period. All six of us felt Covid- safe at Drovers where excellent compliance with the rules by the establishment and friendly staff was in place.Our lunch was of excellent quality and great value. The starters we particularly enjoyed were the west coast king scallops and a superb quail dish. All main courses were enjoyed but the trio of pork and the pan roasted loin of venison were superb and nicely presented. Desserts were good too and the generous cheese selection included several good Scottish cheeses.We shall return!

Disappointed with our lunch - had to wait one and a half hours before we received our dishes and the Monk-Fish was cold when it arrived - will not be back

Yet another lovely meal here, never disappoints. Wonderful, despite all the covid restrictions they are doing what they can to keep the friendly and cosy atmosphere.

Stopped off here after being turned away from the hotel in Glamis as we had our wee dog with us. Phoned ahead to check it would be ok to bring the dog and all was fine if we ate in the bar. Did not disappoint. The bar was cosy and comfortable and the menu was excellent. I had the Venison and it was outstanding. Partners food equally good. Service was great. No long waits nor hurried. I thought it was 10/10.Couldn't fault it. Thoroughly recommend.

It's been quite a while since I've been to this part of Scotland; in fact it's been a while since I've been to any part of Scotland, given the "COVID-19 lockdown and all! However, this region is the home of "Arbroath Smokies" and "Aberdeen Angus" beef, so the trips have always been a delight and this one was no different. Our party had been booked in for a 6pm sitting and when we arrived the nimble waiters and waitresses were already serving diners with their drinks and taking orders. There was a choice of menu, either the bar menu, a la carte or steaks. Our starters of deep fried king prawns came in a crispy batter accompanied by a piquant dipping sauce while a portion of rissoto came delicately topped with pea shoots. Three of our party had opted for ribeye steaks which came exactly cooked to each person's liking served with delicious chips. There was a good choice for those not eating meat including a tasty looking tagine.If you're thirsty, this establishment serves local real ales as well as fine continental largers and has a wine menu with something to suit most tastes and pockets.A great place to come with friends or family, but as it's so popular, make sure you make a reservation!

This was my first visit to the Drovers for a few years and wasn't dissapointed. Firstly the service was excellent from the staff, no complaints. Food on the whole was very good and everybody enjoyed their meal, 3 small complaints, pakora needed to be a bit spicier, the scallop starter needed another scallop and the sticky toffee sundae was bigger than expected!! Reasonably priced and dog friendly, will be back!!

I visited this inn around the same time last year but things are obviously very different now. However, the food is just as good. They have all the safety conditions in place but the atmosphere was still good. It is a very quirky place so don't accept anything posh. It is what it is. They still have a full menu which includes a good choice for vegetarians. I had a beautiful goats cheese salad and home made fries. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

My family and I had dinner in a private room to celebrate my dads 80th Birthday. The service was great and they accommodated my fussy kids very well. The dinner was delicious and my nephew said it was the nicest steak he had ever tasted (and he has that most times when he eats out). Thank you for making my Dad's special day all the more special.

Ok... the sun was out which is always a helping hand. But being one of our first post lockdown days out we couldn’t have been happier. Tables well spread out in the sunny beer garden. Met at the entrance by a masked waitress with laminated menus. Directed to a table which had been sanitised and settled in for the afternoon. Hand sanitiser everywhere. Tables cleaned after every customer leaves. Seats left in a certain position so they know which has been cleaned or not. Menus looked like they were being cleaned after every use. All the masked staff couldn’t have been more helpful (and friendly). Ate in restaurant that evening. Outstanding food. My steak wasn’t cooked to order.. I asked for medium rare. Got something a bit more on the medium to well side. But it was super tasty and the other half couldn’t have been happier with the monkfish. All in all. They’re really making an effort. Felt really safe and will definitely return. Only thing we would add being, we’ve been other places since, and the waiting staff don’t touch the drinks, they let you take them off the tray so that it’s only the bar staff touching your glass and thought this was a sensible extra precautionBut don’t let it stop you. I did see the waiting staff sanitise constantly. Fantastic visit. Well done Drovers.

Drove passed Drovers the other day and thought It looked a really nice place for a meal. Went back to the accommodation and looked it up.Happy to see a vegan menu and good reviews so booked a table for two in the restaurant.The menu given was a special and the bar menu. They have a limited menu due to supply issues for obvious reasons. I asked about the vegan menu and was told you need to tell them in advance but Robyn our waitress said she would ask the chef.She came back a minute later with a choice of 3 starters and 3 mains. It was difficult to choose as they all sounded fantastic. I ended up with the mushroom and beetroot risotto for starter ( well done chef) and cauliflower and red pepper curry( well done again chef). Both tasted delicious. The other half had the mushroom and sourdough for starter and a vegan tajine for the main. Again both dishes were spot on.I would definitely go back here if I was in the area again.

Visited tonight with 2 adults and 2 kids. It was ‘Steak night Tuesday’ - a proper sirloin steak dinner for only £12.50! Great food, excellent value and very tasty. The starters were also excellent. Beetroot and goats cheese risotto, tempura prawns and scotch egg all excellent. Service was outstanding. Staff were extremely attentive. Great outdoor play area for kids and beautiful outdoor drinking and eating area. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited the drovers in yesterday. Wasn’t busy at all and it seemed like there was plenty staff working but still the service was poor and extremely slow. The food was disappointing aswell. A very below average experience

Came for a meal great service from jess and Duncan they were my servers it was great thank you drovers

Enjoyed a beautiful lunch in this restaurant. The staff were helpful and friendly and maintained excellent compliance with social distancing procedures. Beautiful setting and garden. The food was delicious and we will definitely visit again.

Booked my son’s 40th birthday lunch for 8 guests. The food was excellent , the service was great ( not over stated just pitched appropriately). Many thanks to all the staff at Drovers for helping us make some great memories, special shout out to Kim who looked after us so well.

Away from the hustle and bustle of big city, I had a fantastic meal at the Drovers Inn Restaurant with a table next to fireplace. The food was well prepared and substantial. Most of all, I have enjoyed the tranquility and the beauty of the Scottish country side near Dundee. This place is away from the city centre, you do need to have own car to come here.

An old friend treat us to a lovely meal at the drovers. I had no expectation, but the food was really well cooked & the service was great. I had Mussels in a lovely broth & a lovely venison dish with quince & potato rosti, The Mrs had scallops & a cod loin.I'd go out of my way to eat out at the Drovers again, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks

The team catered for 12 of us perfectly with great food, good service and great value for money. We were visiting friends in the areas and we had a great table tucked away at the end of the restaurant. The venison was cooked to perfection and the kids menu was out of this world.

Tried this on the strength of review in Menu supplement. Whilst quite nice I’m afraid I don’t rate it as high as the review.The restaurant did not seem very busy but it took ages for the food to be served.Three of us had venison and all commented it was warm, not hot. It was beautifully cooked though.No we did not complain mainly because we did want any more delays.Staff were great but overall value for money 7 out of 10
