Lowes really does the best Sunday lunch, we cannot recommend enough!! We visit often and the quality and attention to detail never alters, this is because George and his team care. Try it, you will not be disappointed. Lowes deserve 10 stars because, they provide exceptional service, the food is top quality and delicious. We took our parents last Sunday and our friends this Sunday they all agreed that this was the best Sunday lunch they had ever experienced in a restaurant. Thank you to George and his team.
Rita was amazing! Friendly, attentive, and always cheerful. The anime-themed atmosphere was unique and enjoyable. She made our ramen even more delightful. Highly recommend!
We fondly remembered the sandwich station from a previous visit to the island a few years ago, so we just had to visit again during our latest holiday. We ate here twice during our week (once with the Mogabout island tour) and we were not disappointed. They still serve great sandwiches on great bread so if you are visiting Arran you have to go there. Just make sure you are hungry as the sandwiches are substantial.
Not worth the inflated price. Some of mains not up to standard. Extremely disappointed with minimalistic servings. Also, extremely difficult to access.
Dispite receiving a reminder text from the restaurant the day before we arrived to find the restaurant permanently closed. Didn't have the decency to advise us of the closure.
If they can send out reminder texts they could have advised us of the closure and avoided a lengthy journey.
These guys need a lesson in manners and customer service. I understand it’s not a great job stuck in a smelly van all day but at least treat your customers better. Food is bang average and you’ll need to remortgage your house to pay for it. £25 for 2 chicken wraps??? Absolute clowns mate!!!
We left with a mixed experience of the Checkers after our stay in January.
Highlight was the tasting menu. Fantastic courses each with a delightful blend and mix of flavours. Credit must be given to chef Andrew for his expertise and presentation style. Excellent too at £85. You will have to go far to find a tasting menu of similar quality and value.
The service and hospitality though was solemn and sedate. Greetings on arrival were somewhat formal with little conversation and this was the approach to service throughout our evening and overnight stay. Each course being served without the passion they deserved, being functionally presented. We never saw Andrew either and he didn’t come out to chat to his guests.
The overnight accommodation was very well presented with good facilities, although quite cold with the heating going off before we retired for the night. We can’t comment about breakfast as unfortunately we were slightly late after 9:30am due to an urgent family call we had., my partners mother being taken into hospital. We apologised to Rachel who advised that we were 8 minutes late and the kitchen had closed. There was only ourselves and another couple who stayed over that evening! A very strange way to treat guests who are paying well over £400 for the experience.
So go to the Checkers for the excellent Michelin rated cuisine, but not if you expect warm service and hospitality to support the dining experience.
This is an exceptional restaurant which is a must visit if you are in the area. The tasting menu is great value and there was not one dish that was a disappointment. Imaginative and clever flavour pairing made for a complete experience.
Staff were great and the whole place is clearly a labour of love. Do go!
OMG what a hidden gem. For starters my son had the mussels and they were delicious; a beautiful creamy sauce with just enough heat. I had the risotto balls and they were to die for, I could have had them again. We both had pizza for our main and the pizza was lovely, a nice crusty base with a lovely delicate flavour and the toppings were superb. We'll definitely be back.
Nos habían recomendado este lugar por amigos. La comida era genial, y el tamaño de la porción era grande. El personal era amable y amable. Comimos temprano, así que era tranquilo, pero se estaba llenando para cuando nos íbamos, ya que es solo un lugar pequeño. El tema occidental era único y lo disfrutamos. Si quieres una hamburguesa de buena calidad, este es el lugar para ir!
Popped in for Lunch whilst visiting Dartmouth and glad we found this Bistro
The food was excellent and reasonably priced
I had mixed seafood and it was lovely
very nice place and pretty busy & we offered to shared our table with a couple of strangers and soon good chatting and having a great time, The owner appreciated us sharing the table as brought in a couple more customers who would otherwise have gone elsewhere, nice if others do the same - you never know you may get on and meet some lovely people
will certainly return here the next time we go to Dartmouth
We've bought ice cream from here many, many times over the years. There are lots of places selling great ice cream in West wales, but this one is the best I've found.
