The Violet in South Lanarkshire

Popped in for a late lunch on a Friday. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside with the dog, though I'm assured they are very dog friendly inside too. As soon as staff saw the dog they brought a water bowl without being asked (top service for the dog). Food was lovely and atmosphere very welcoming. Prices were very reasonable and portions generous. We'll definitely be back.

Recently had our wedding at Cornhill Castle. The location is stunning. The castle is also to a high standard and the rooms were amazing, luxurious and comfortable (especially the honeymoon suite). The staff went over and above and made sure the wedding went smoothly and that we were looked after at all times. We can't thank the staff enough, they really added a personal touch and made us relax knowing everything was in hand. Rooms, service and location all 5 stars. Unfortunately I have to remove 1 star as the food was not good. We paid extra for the beef and the majority of the guests have given feedback that it wasn't good. Groom was served an overcooked end piece which was barely edible so it was sent back. The next piece was edible but for a beef fillet at a wedding, just being edible is not really what we were hoping for. Other guests did say theirs was overcooked, tough and tasteless. The veg and brownie were also not to a high standard. We regret paying the extra charge for an upgraded meal. We advise future weddings to stick to the standard menu.

Walked in at 20 past nine to be told the place was shut and staff were going home. Even although it says online it closes at 10.

Went there for a work staff meet whilst in the area. Fantastic meal and great staff, especially Ellie B. Thank you. Will be back soon

Great food and good service. Lasagna and Carbonara were excellent but let down by Garlic Bread (cold). Cajun Chicken, Gammon and Burger all very good. Service was pleasant but attracting attention for more drinks was challenging.
