The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

Our very favourite place to pop in for a treat and a coffee. Staff are wonderful and the cakes are to die for! Our week would not be the same if we didn’t visit!

Found this place through trip advisor after having had terrible service at the Puffer which was our regular go to in Irvine. Peppermill will now be our regular place for food in Irvine. Staff were lovely, food was delicious and great value. A good range of dishes from traditional steak pie, baked potatoes to pizza & pasta.

Called in for a spot of lunch. Very nice. Dogs have their own little section on the menu too. Great views over the lake nice place to sit with a coffee and admire the views. We returned a few days latter.

Lovely setting ,unfortunately the meal was very poor 😢 gammon fatty chewy and very salty , chips over cooked and veg soggy ..nobody around to take sweet order so rang the reception bell to pay and leave ..disappointing .

Was a discretion service charge added which I believe is voluntary . Never noticed until home this had been applied . Surely they should ask if you wish to pay the service charge. Had the fish finger wrap , not as advertised was no tartar sauce or gherkins. Our meal was only £23.70 but beware if there are a few of you as 12.5 percent service charge could be costly.

Dinner was lovely, staff were extremely attentive, service was quick and slick. We came down to Dumfries for filming my university documentary, we always stay at the Cairndale hotel. Monday night after hard graft out filming myself and my girlfriend were knackered. We couldn’t face going into the town for dinner or just ordering a takeaway. Contacted reception for the set menu, which my girlfriend had. I ordered off the a la carte. We hadn’t booked as it was a last minute decision we were met by the manager, who told us not to worry, and we were sat quickly. Server came over with menus, (we had a good idea of what we were having but it was handy to just have another look) then manager came over to take our orders. My girlfriend ordered the soup and chicken bacon cheese burger. I ordered the goats cheese crostini (I felt quite embarrassed as I had to ask what the crostini was, but was pleased to know the manager had to go and double check himself. We shared a laugh about this later) I ordered the lamb shoulder for main. Draft options for soft drinks were plentiful, we were pleased to hear Pepsi max was an option my only bug bear was the price of the drinks, I feel £7 was slightly steep for 2 soft drinks, however I do understand there has to be a certain pricing within hotels. However it didn’t hinder our quality experience. Starters arrived promptly and the quality and service of food was really nice, the manager was over quickly to ask for feedback. Starters scuttled, time for the main, mg girlfriends cheeseburger was massive 3 breaded chicken fillets 2 rashers of bacon and a lovely amount of smothered cheese, I actually wish I’d ordered it myself. And her chips were plentiful too, I don’t know what it is about the quality of chip in Dumfries but it trumps anything in Glasgow. As I say we’re down to the Cairndale often and are always impressed with the quality. You get what you pay for and especially the £40pp per night brd and breakfast deal at the moment, you’re laughing. My lamb was absolutely beautiful, I’m t total myself so I always get concerned when there’s a red wine sauce however, I wasn’t to be worried here. The sauce was lovely and sweet and I’m not one for turnip but even ate that alongside the beautiful roasted potatoes. It was a lovely meal and we chatted away with the servers and manager who were all very accommodating, we look forward to coming down again in the next few weeks. Apologies I can’t remember the names of those who dealt with is, it was a very busy day and we were just so glad to have a lovely evening with some gorgeous food. All the best during the refit and we hope the Cairndale gets its deserved 4th star, we’ll continue to support the restraunt and hotel whenever we are down!

Shop is never open and the owner has a terrible attitude.

We call in regularly for a good, well-packed, well-priced sandwich; not a vast fancy choice, but fresh and tasty. Fish and Chips on a Thursday evening is also pretty decent! Service can vary depending who is working, from very friendly and helpful to downright indifferent.

We had a day out yesterday and ended up here for coffee. The sign at the entrance said the cafe was open until 4.30. As it was just before 4 when we parked round the back we thought we had plenty of time. However when we entered the cafe I approached the counter to order I was told in no uncertain terms that they were shut. When I pointed out that their sign had said it was open until 4.30 the rude assistant pointed to the sign on the counter which said last orders 4. I said it was 4 and we only wanted coffees she said 'well we're shut'. You would think that after 2 years of pandemic that businesses would be grateful for any money they could get, well that's not the case in this cafe. We had been going to buy some plants but left empty handed and on the way out told the assistant in the shop that we wouldn't be back. Their loss is someone else's gain

A super bed and breakfast with a lovely vegan curry and home baked ecclefechan tart in the bar which had an open fire. Steve and Mary looked after us like a mum and a big brother. Could not do enough for us including a very welcome lift to and from hoddom Bridge as we were walking the annandale way. And a packed lunch to order. Will recommend to all, especially walkers.

Nunca hay nada que quieras, es un servicio lento y la comida es urgente que ella misma necesita. Ayuda a corregir más. l stock

Gran parada a lo largo de la línea Deeside. Salimos de la línea y caminamos una corta distancia en Peterculter. Los lugares para comer son limitados. Pedimos un pan tostado y panini y la orden llegó rápidamente y era delicioso! Nada de lujo solo buena comida a un precio razonable. Personal muy amable. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

While we were on Sanday, my partner and I decided to go for the Christmas Sunday banquet. Although I have a huge appetite, I can say with certainty that, I was more than satisfied with the enormous portions of delicious food. The fire was lit, the service was friendly, the food was excellent. I would highly recommend a visit to the Belsair Hotel. A big thanks to Kay for giving us directions to Down Helly!

We're on holiday been to the Abbey for Sunday lunch which was amazing also went Saturday evening had the two steaks and a bottle of wine deal cooked to perfection (well done chef) staff We're very welcoming and helpful felt like we were in our local . Excellent all round .
