The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

Honestly was so impressed by the selection for dairy free menu here! Usually I go places and only have one or two options but I was given a whole dairy free menu!! So impressed and great food! Will definitely be back

After our lovely trip up to Coldstream, we decided to stop for some food. Terrible does not even cover it. When we came to order we asked for two “gluten free fish and chips” to be told you could have told us so we could have put the separate pan on. Not once did anyone ask about any allergies or make us aware before ordering. After we said we happily wait for food to be a bit longer. Food came after 20 minutes which was fine. We asked if it was possible to have some gravy and apologies for not ordering it at the same time, to be told “well I’m busy making other peoples food” which was fine they did end up bringing it. After eat a few bites of the fish I realised that it was not cooked inside the batter was still powdered and cold. We got a lady’s attention to which she said it was cooked and walk away not even a sorry or an offering to help.

Firsty, I have received what equates to a 15% refund of my total spend after contacting the hotel...and I did raise my concerns directly with a member of staff while we were there. Neverless, I am totally perplexed at the service and standards given the reputation of this hotel. The location and grandure is certainly not matched by food and service. Another review describes a "faulty towers " experience that absolutely sums up breakfast. Absolutely astounded how inexperienced some the staff seemed. Huge expensive mistake!

Vamos todas las semanas por la deliciosa comida y la amable bienvenida , la elección del menú es perfecta y asequible, gracias equipo Morags , nos vemos pronto Carol ☺️

Went for Breakfast after hearing good things about it, we were not disappointed, the food was lovely and the coffee tasty and plentiful. The staff were really friendly and the cafe itself has retained much of its original style with wooden booths and horseshoe counter. A great place for breakfast or even just a coffee.

Great wee pub on 2 floors,service brill, love dropping off fir a wee pint before getting the bus home.

Lovely friendly welcoming pub with excellent food and charming service from all. We were well looked after and the staff got it just right.

We stayed in Cromarty for the last week in June and thoroughly enjoyed it. We dined here on our first night (a Saturday), which was very busy, but the service and food were fine. Our last night was a Friday and it was very quiet. We both liked the specials. Val chose scallops followed by chicken, while I stayed with the specials and had mussels followed by scallops. When my main course of scallops arrived (£18) they seemed to be the same helping size as Val's scallop starter (£12). I asked Val, if I was right. She agreed. The young waitress overheard and chipped in, 'No, you have two extra scallops she assured me. WHAT £6 for two extra scallops! The owner overheard and stepped in to 'sort' it. We did not expect this in Cromarty of all places. BE CAREFUL!

How this hotel has the ratings it has is beyond my understanding. Arrived to book in and met with a dark, damp smelling entrance. One light on in the bar area where a very unhappy employee was clearing up from previous staff (allegedly the managers!) shift. Advised that none of the hotel rooms had been prepared and she needed time to do so. We were unable to get food at the hotel as there was nothing. Info on site says meals available. Room was freezing cold, blinds failed, windows drafty, had to ask for towels for shower. Excuse for a bed was one of the most uncomfortable I've ever experienced. The wooden frame squeaked even when moving the quilt!! We had booked for 3 nights which we cut short. Breakfast was an absolute joke, make your own tea and toast with out of date milk, and a jar of cheap jam. An experience not for repeating!

Fantastic staff make you welcome

We've eaten here many times over the years and it needs a fresh review. Very pleasant place set in tranquil surroundings of a local fishery. Food is always very good, as is the pleasant, unobtrusive service. Nice ambience, generous portions, whatever one has to eat, spotlessly clean, all in all great value for money. Well worth seeking out for a wee run in the Ayrshire countryside.

Très bon petit déjeuner écossais. Assez copieux. Remplissage gratuit du thé ce qui est appréciable le matin. L’établissement est très propre et cosy. Le personnel est très attentionné et de bon conseil. Le haggis est goûteux et épicé.

Wat problemen gehad met reservatie. We hadden gebeld en ze zeiden dat het restaurant volledig volzet was, maar online bleek dat niet het geval. Ook als we toekwamen, hebben we het eerste halfuur helemaal alleen gezeten en toen we weggingen, was het restaurant maar half gevuld. Mindere start, maar het eten was verrukkelijk en van topkwaliteit. Klasse zaak. Het is prijzig en dat mag als je zo’n gastronomisch eten serveert, maar voor dat geld verwacht je wel dat de porties groter zijn. De voorgerechten en sommige hoofdgerechten waren echt klein.

We visited last night as a big group, 8 adults and 8 children. From when we booked the service was excellent, prompt, friendly replies and we preordered with ease. We arrived and were seated quickly and drinks orders taken. Our waiter was exceptional, nothing was a hassle and he was brilliant with the kids. The food came quickly and again I would say was fantastic. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the experience overall was excellent. I would 100% return and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Quaint bar. Lovely atmosphere. Great staff
