The best restaurants in Annandale East and Eskdale Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Nice coffee. Pastie was very dry as though had been sat under the lamps for a large part of the day - we got there around noon on a Sunday. Tasted nice though.

We Thought we would give the place a try, as its been open a few years and had mixed review. We had aKorma with Rice. The Rice was not cooked with a lot of grainy bits. and the corma was look warm and i put it in a pan and heated it up. We also had a Pizza that was not all that good considering the price. We will not use this place again as better food in Longtown even with the 12 mile trip.

Absolutely awful bacon and sausage almost raw and bacon very salty. potato scone burnt. Wouldn't eat there again

We had 6x rooms booked for wedding including the Ash suite paid extra for family and guests fur a wedding the Ash suite there was no hot water for bath and patio doors blowing open and rattling all night. There where still gift left in cupboard from 60th party. We booked 2x dressing gowns and slippers and put on our bill but where not allowed to take them.rang reception said no hot water and attitwas couldn't care less re water or patio doors they also explained not to take dressing gowns as did not belong to hotel.. Reception staff very cold and uncaring it seen they have had your money and not bothered we where a small party for wedding but should be treated as well as a 200 party not looked down on like something they stood in .the ceremony at the gretna Anville was amazing couldn't fault it fool if laughter and fun but also very professional by all concerned even the piper was outstanding the meal was lovely but very very slow booked for2.30 started gone 3 two course took 2houes ..then had to chase staff for clearing tables as everyone was getting bored by the time we got to coffee and shortbread which was extra there was only 6 at the table

I went on opening night with high hopes. The waitress who served us had been hired a few hours before, on the day of opening. The iPads used to take orders all crashed when the WiFi went down. So orders had to be retaken but there was no paper for the waiters and waitresses to write on. So we waited almost 30 minutes for food. The Thai curry I ordered came at the exact same time as our starters. The fact it was tepid when I finally started eating it mattered less because it was so over salty I could not eat it. My starter was quite nice. We had to share with our waitress the fact the bathrooms were overflowing with paper towel waste as they had forgotten to put waste bins in the loos. All in all it was not a great night out. Lockerbie needs a decent restaurant so we will give it another go and hope they have improved. If they don’t listen and learn though people might vote with their feet.

Pizza EXPRESS?!? No express about it! Went here for lunch while at Caledonia Retail Outlet. Staff member serving the tables was very polite, cheery & friendly - off to a good start...or so we thought. Time waiting for food after placing our order (1 half & half pizza + 1 portion of mozarella sticks) was around 45 mins. When the food eventually arrived the pizza was luke warm & over cooked - the pepperoni was dried out & when eating parts of the pizza it was like crunching on a bag of crisps. My husbands half of the pizza was slightly better as it had slightly more topping on it. Definitely wasn't worth the wait! We were going to order the golden chocolate caramel dough balls to take out but didn't want to wait/waste another 45 mins of the afternoon so didn't bother. Had eaten here before but following this experience, I don't recommend this Pizza "Express" & won't be returning.

Stayed at the Days Inn at Gretna services. We were there for a wedding the following day. Drove to this pub for a few drinks, with the intention of a taxi back not realising that you needed to book well in advance. So we had a few more drinks played some pool and had some food which was I'd say cooked to order as it was all delicious. Lovely atmosphere and staff. Very friendly place. When we still couldn't get a taxi the Landlord kindly offered to take us to the hotel. We were absolutely grateful. Such a shame we hadn't realised they had rooms or we'd have booked there instead. Highly recommend this little gem of a place. Thank you 👍

What professional and friendly service!

Recently came here for coffee and pastry. Service was great, pastrie was good but coffee was terrible. Perfectly located right near the highway near the shopping center.

All the usual tourist stuff, with the accompanying prices, they do a nice range of sausage and the very illusive white pudding, this is very hard to get in England.

Staying nearby so popped in, poor is a generous opinion of this chippy. Battered Sausage was more just a sausage in a soft blanket over the top, hardly crispy as would be expected. Scampi mediocre, portions small and a price tag that doesn’t resemble the quality. Would very much avoid, but as it’s the only fast food / takeaway nearby you may be limited. I hope this isn’t the standard of chip shops across Scotland, if so nip over the border your obviously missing out greatly

Good pitstop on the way to Scotland

Truly lovely place to eat . Great menu for perfect Scottish cuisine and great personal service . On our first visit it was a choice of coffee and delicious cakes . On our return visit for breakfast muckle toon breakfast was the best .

The KFC was excellent but pricey at £10 for a burger meal. Visit spoilt by inconsiderate HGV drivers who thought it was ok to park on the small caravan car park even blocking the through lane

When we left, on a Saturday evening, the eating area was empty. Not surprising - the cod and chips was mediocre. The eating area reminded us of an aircraft hangar. The most depressing place we have ever eaten in. Decent food might have made a difference but it was awful. First time we’ve eaten at Harry Ramsden’s - and last.
