The best restaurants in Angus Central Scotland

Decided to try here after family recommended it however we left disappointed. Firstly, We felt we waited a long time considering the place was near empty and the cutlery at our table was sticky…. My wife had steak pie, steak was tough and gravy more like a chicken gravy than beef, very average. I had the katsu curry which tasted nice (this is why I gave 2 stars in total) and we shared a salt and pepper chicken. I ordered my son a cheeseburger which came very pink in the centre, not an issue for an adult but kids don’t like ‘rare’ burgers, it was very thin so the chef must only have flashed it on the grill, again pretty disappointed with this one. We should have expected this it being a Belhaven which I usually avoid, gave it a chance due to the recommendation but won’t be giving it another one. Cost us a cool £40.

this place is shocking i just wanted to have a chicken burger and it came with some smelly white sticky sauce absolutely minging

Very slow and didn't get order right

Struggling to get used to the new opening hours arrived too late to sit in. Had hoped to sit in but staff cleaning up. Asked for food to go from menu but could not even get a sandwich. Server went off to do more chores. I spotted made up blister pack sandwiches, one of the other staff shouted to my serverwho came back, had forgotton about counter sandwiches. Managed to get a chicken tikka sandwich and a tuna mayo sandwich plus a muffin and a trybake. The sandwiches were very fresh and appetising and the home baking was delicious. A very good selection to choose from I was very satisfied and would choose the same in that situation again. Would reccomend to anyone and will still come back.

Slow service and lots of staff around but very few doing actual work! Save yourself the hassle and go to the one in Dundee at Morrisons

Good place to wait for a bus or to get out of the weather on a miserable day. Decent enough coffee and good service.

Visited for lunch . Was busy so no tables inside . We were offered a table outside which was extremely dirty . I requested it to be wiped . The waitress went inside but returned and said she wouldn’t wipe it because all the tables were wiped in the morning ! So much for hygiene ! Won’t be back as I assume this standard is through out .

So glad we didn’t read some of these reviews before we went or might not have bothered. After a google search of places to eat “near me” the Speckled Hen came up. We loved it. Nice area, lovely views. Big open airy restaurant. Nothing fancy but clean and homely feel. Lovely selection of homemade sandwiches, cakes etc. My other half had bacon and egg roll which was delivered in a large roll with plenty filling while I had soup n sandwich. Salad and coleslaw with sandwich which was fresh and tasty. Delicious! The waitress also did the cooking so realised it may take longer to arrive than other places but was well worth the wait. Very relaxed and enjoyable. Service was lovely and other half saying he will be back with work colleagues!

On the two occasions I've had food delivered from here, which was about six months ago and tonight, both times the food did not arrive at the pre-booked time, when called to chase up was told it was already on its way, both times this was a lie and another call an hour later reassured me it was now on its way. Both times I assumed they must have forgotten to do the pre orders and so we would have a late hot meal. Both times the meal was ice cold, not a hint of warmth on it!! Add to that all the missing items that were 'not worth bringing round' it has been the final nail in the coffin. I didn't leave a review the first time because we all have bad nights but it's now clear that they actually just are consistently awful and have the pattern of lying to the customers. A bit of advice for the shop, if the meal will be over an hour late just say that. kids and adults can cope better knowing our food will not be here for ages rather than hovering about waiting on it, getting more and more frustrated...and a bigger bit of advice, if you want customers to return make sure they get all their meals and that they are HOT or even remotely warm! Also should add the food is not good goodluck to anyone waiting for a delivery!

This is the second time I've been here, both times at lunchtime. The first time I was told they closed at 2pm and as it was just after 1pm I was too late. The next time was today and as it was just before 1pm I was told sternly I could eat but had to be out by 1.30 as they close at 2pm. Then charged £10 for a breakfast roll and cup of tea which whilst it was very nice it wasn't worth that, especially as I had to throw it down and get out. There wasn't a single other customer in as they clearly know it's not allowed near closing time!

We visited this place as we had been disappointed by the poor service elsewhere and they certainly righted a wrong. We had home made pies and a cake each with coffee. It was delicious and we will certainly visit this place again.

Kebas & pakoras tonight were amazing thank you

Ordere lamb bhuna. Far too much oil in curry. No advice go there again

One of the quickest in food prep but prefer the others for atmosphere and friendliness

Best scone I’ve ever tasted! They have such a variety of different types of freshly made scones from plan to fruit. After a tough decision, I chose the rhubarb and ginger - wow! What a flavour mixed with the fresh cream and strawberry jam! They are so large that sadly I struggled to eat it all. The garden centre is worth a visit as well with such a variety of items for the home and garden, but I would highly recommend the trip for the scones alone !
