Love this place, food is delicious, atmosphere is great, especially when there is a DJ or Jazz band in over the weekends. Service is good too, although sometimes Staff could be more attentive and a little faster to react. Overall it's a great place to be.

Friendly cosy place, great that dogs are allowed in. The food was really disappointing, couldn’t even get fork through the chips, which were frozen not real Tattie chips & Mac cheese was bland & quite disgusting for the price. Left most of the plate, the bin is where it belongs 🙁

We only popped in for one drink but ended up spending the whole afternoon here. Had a great time. Nice people behind the bar and would definitely recommend the pies.

I have reviewed FoM before and praised it extensively. After a two year hiatus, we returned for lunch. There are a few aspects that seem to have missed the mark. Firstly, the cardinal rule in hospitality is, if people turn up wanting to eat, feed them. Do not turn them away saying "come back in an hour" because your tables are full when at least six of them are unoccupied. It was only as we turned to walk out they suddenly decided they could accommodate us after all. In the time we were there, at least five of those tables were unused at any given time. Who did they expect to turn up? Secondly, and I know this is not just a FoM issue, but letting dogs into a place of food consumption is just the wrong thing to do. I know the law in Scotland says it's OK as long as it is not in food prep areas, but the food in FoM is prepped right beside where people eat. I do not wish to trip over a dog or its lead, watch a dog lick itself when no tongue should really go, or the staff touching them, or consider all the fleas and other inhabitants of a dog's fur that could be headed my way. FoM has an outside eating area - keep the mutts outside and leave the inside clean for humans. Thirdly, the food. I'm not a vegan but something caught my eye about the "vegan fry" so I decided to give it a go. If you're a vegan, look away now. It was truly terrible. The potato scone (which I normally like) was hard, curled up and dry. It took some cutting. The baked beans were barely warm. The "haggis" was grim and I have had veggie haggis before - this was just a slice of compressed nutty and seedy stuff. The mushrooms (well done for having different varieties) were soggy and almost cold. The scrambled egg tofu - very insipid. The sourdough toast was cold. Not sure what the spready stuff was. Probably marge. The tomatoes - tepid and tasteless. The sliced avocado (conspicuously not fried) had no place on the plate so I donated it to my wife. Likewise the limp, cold spinach. The entire dish looked and tasted like it had been prepared hours ago and kept under not very effective heat lamps and then dumped randomly on the plate. On the plus side the arancini were tasty - and hot. As were the rosemary fries. Final grumble - probably not their fault - Scottish tap water. Yuk. Smells and tastes stale. No amount of lemon in the jug could disguise it. They should consider installing a filter system. I will give FoM the benefit of the doubt for this one-time slip as every other time it has been very good. But if this is vegan food - pass me the steak.

I am confused by the high ratings given by others. It is a nice inn with a good atmosphere. Serivce was good. I skipped the French onion soup since it did not include croutons/bread and cheese as a true French onion soup would have. I had a chicken dish that was a little dry but not bad. I just would not expect a 5 star meal here.

My friends and I visited last Thursday and had afternoon tea, the best we’ve ever had. Great choice of freshly made sandwiches, delicious home baked pancakes and scones and fantastic cakes. Lovely tearoom with such friendly staff. Would absolutely recommend and we’ll be back soon.

Excellent anniversary lunch. All of the dishes were delicious, friendly attentive staff and good value for the quality of the food. Burrata, chilli prawns to start, followed by market fish (hake - delicious) and salmon and lobster sauce pasta. Affogato and mint ice cream and chocolate choux bun to finish.
