The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

As locals we love to get out for a night especially when the season finishes. Had a great meal then loved one for the ditch the band on after. Worth the 30quid taxi home to broadford!

Booked here for new years dinner we were too late for the Party but had the meal earlier and a few drinks, excellent venue nice warm welcome by staff if was a Hot Buffet but the choice was Amazing From Chicken Chasseur, Barnsley lamb chop, prawn linguini to name but a few with fresh veg, potatoes etc was one of the best Hot Buffets we have ever tasted truly amazing and the sweets Afterwards were top class must book for the Party next year.

Went for our OAP dinner. Everything was delicious food lovely and hot. Mincemeat pies Devine. service was great Enjoyed immensely. Could not fault a thing

The food was lovely, hot and fresh, however, their system of queuing, ordering and paying leaves a lot to be desired. We waited in a queue for over 20 minutes before even ordering our food. You then have to rejoin the same long queue to order coffee and cake. If they had a separate queue for teas/coffee's/cake, people would be served much quicker and the queue would be reduced. Just a simple suggestion!

As the season narrows, it’s appropriate to say thank you before they have their very well deserved break in January & February. I have been a regular in the restaurant all summer and can’t recommend higher than 5 stars, or I would. Margaret and her team offer the warmest of welcomes, the most special part of that is the authenticity behind it. She has picked the most customer centric team who greet you with a smile, serve fantastic food and represent the castle to the highest possible standard. Thank you and I look forward to next year. Enjoy your time off. The Apple Crumble deserves a very special mention :) Garry x

I ordered a baked potato at 11.45am on 04/01/25 at the start of lunches. When it arrived, it was really burnt. I started to eat it, but then brought it to their attention that it was so dry & burnt. They offered to return it to the kitchen & was off to bring it to the kitchen’s attention! I declined to return it & picked away at it, because by then, that had put me off my lunch. I mentioned this when paying for it, & I had been given a price reduction of 10%, which resulted in a mere 99p off my bill. I find that insulting & won’t be eating there again!

I suspect the Silverfjord is not long for this world. The dining room was freezing cold , half of it set up for breakfast.It also appeared to be a pub with no beer - I had their last can of Doom bar, the only non-lager option on offer. It was also served in a novel way - the unopened can dumped in the top of a pint glass. I made the mistake of ordering the 'home made' burger, I am not sure what it was made of but I don't think any cows were harmed in its making. My wife's fish and chips was OK, but came with no peas, just a piece of torn up lettuce. Chips were cooked ok, though. We didn't stay for dessert, we were in and out in just over an hour, £37 poorer and wiser.

Delicious lentil soup. I also had a hummus sandwich on granary bread with Chilli jam that I would recommend. All tasted home made and fresh. Coffee excellent top as were the cakes. Service excellent and very friendly Definitely five out of five stats

Latte was absolutely one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. Service was great. Lovely place friendly staff. Will defo return before we leave to go home.

As it's winter the tearoom was quiet, only 4 tables. Lovely roaring log fire. Friendly staff. Wheelchair accessible and dog friendly. Soup was homemade, served with warm bread and a Lorne sausage sandwich on toasted bread was excellent. Real TEA, not T- bags made for a pleasant change. Not too many crafts for sale as it's end of tourist season, but some amazoning fleeces and yearns.

Fantastic. Staff were so friendly had to sit outside because of nervous dog. This was not a problem' at all. the lady serving was so friendly. The food was the best I have tasted in campbeltown area superb.will be back

Such a disappointment …..think they must have different chefs on different days. I had lunch on Tuesday , scallops with a delicious sauce and a light cheese dressing and honeycomb snap which was so delicious I went back the next day. Ordered same dish …..padded out with some form of very dry potatoes, no snap and sauce almost totally absent. Very dry and mediocre lunch…..won’t be returning.

At about 3 p.m. on Friday 18 October I was cheerfully welcomed in and given a table at the window. I hadn't booked in advance, just came on spec. The waitress described the malts available, helpfully, and I settled on a double measure of Bowmore 14 YO. I went for the prawn cocktail to start with and macaroni cheese to follow. I was easing into my surroundings: whisky in hand, anticipating the arrival of good food and marvelling at the view over Loch Etive. There was much laughter at the next table, where two couples were. It was all lovely and relaxing. The prawn cocktail fit tight in a small glass. No lemon, no bread + butter (a little disappointing). The prawns were fresh and plentiful, but the Marie Rose sauce lacked bite. No matter - the waitress had plenty of bite in her for dealing with an awkward customer, as was soon revealed. Next up, the mains: dressed leaves and a square of garlic bread plus 4 forkfuls worth of macaroni cheese in a pie dish. Well, I was astounded! £15 for a TV supper of macaroni cheese leftovers with hot garlic bread as toast. Toss in some greens licked with olive oil. The customer won't notice. The Lochnell Arms first line of defence is "We use Isle of Mull Cheddar". Now, I don't favour Isle of Mull Cheddar above any other cheese but I do like it now and again. They'll cut it to your desired weight at I.J. Mellis (Glasgow) and it is sold prepackaged at Argyll At The Pier in Oban. Perhaps the Lochnell Arms uses Wee Isle Dairy milk for their cornflakes, if only to show they know their 'connoisseur' stuff. Honestly, what a load of snobbish twaddle! The waitress brought the menu over - assertive! - and balked "You did not ask me about chips." Indeed, I had not uttered chips when she was taking my order because I'd assumed chips were included with mains. She addressed my complaint like she was reckoning with a recalcitrant 10-year old. Bringing the menu over! The couples at the next table stopped chatting. It was shockingly embarrassing. I stood up and had my coat half on when she moved to put things right: did I want chips, then? I said no chips, more macaroni. I took my coat off and sat down. Off she went to communicate with the chef whilst I waited - slapped down, angry and by now detesting the word CHIPS. After several minutes I got up and put my coat on. I did not taste the macaroni. It looked delicious. I went to pay for the whisky and the prawn cocktail. In the bar area the waitress and another female had their heads bent together, quietly conferring. Upon my approaching them, the waitress asked was there anything wrong with the macaroni. She gave reminder the chef was preparing more. Too late, sweetheart. Change your attitude. "Sorry about that," she quipped as she handed me a copy of the receipt (total bill came to £22.85, for a double Bowmore and one starter). And out the Lochnell Arms Hotel I walked ....... over the Connel Bridge to where there is an excellently run hotel. I'll not name it - but if you're ever in Connel, people will know the one.

The best Sunday lunch I've ever had. Delicious, and amazing roast beef. Great food hall, garden centre and gift shops too.

Kieren & Melissa eran geniales con mi hija de 16 meses, salió por ahí para hacerla sentir cómoda, hizo un esfuerzo adicional, dándole cosas para colorear, también patatas fritas, se aseguró de que estaba cómoda, el personal sin duda hizo un esfuerzo adicional. Gracias de nuevo Fundición.
