What a place I was in Whiskey Heaven, my girlfriend was in Gin heaven
I sampled some, in my price range drams, from the magnificent Highland Park distillery, I was not disappointed
The bar was tastefully decorated with various bottles of whiskey in cabinets adorning the walls and a large display in the rear bar
Barman seemed to know his stuff and was very helpful
Didn't see much Gin on display, although I did have my Whiskey goggles on, but my girlfriend was very happy with the various tastes available
Great views over the area, only missed 5 stars as the long trail up the west side is cut off by several deer fences that are not shown on the map and require a cross country detour
Fabulous health food and alternative medicine shop, helpful and friendly staff. Well stocked and I was spoilt for choice. The lady who served me was knowledgeable about the products. I will definitely be back. Well worth a visit. 10/10
Good food. We had the mussels and the portion was really big. The beef was also quite tasty. Service was fast & friendly. Overall it was a good experience.
Great experience , 12 people and 3 dogs , the staff and owners couldn't do anymore to accommodate us at very short notice .
Fantastic decor throughout , very clean and tidy .
The haddock was absolutely delicious and a good size serving.
The owner gave us some history about the 1864 which was very interesting.
Would definitely eat here agin and highly recommend.
Sooooooo overpriced!!! I got a roll that the bread disintegrated when I picked it up and 2 slices of just cooked bacon for £4.80 hilariously i paid £2 for a tattie scone that was uncooked 🤢 i had taken 2 bites out of the roll before I realised that it was warm but not cooked.
The others I was with said their food was edible but for the price would it expect it to be at least nice 🤷♀️ save your money and go somewhere nicer for breakfast!
The restaurant was cold, we sat with jackets on as most others were doing as well which didn't help with the non welcoming atmosphere. The lady serving was chatting to people who she must have known. I had to wave at her after waiting 15 minutes to get served.
My last point is the 1 toilet. There must be others but there was no mention of another toilet by the waitress when she seen a queue of customers waiting.
Looked wonderful but sadly it is not dog friendly. Dogs not allowed. You could sit outside with a dog i think. Google very misleading as we chose Rockpool especially for being dog friendly.
