The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

After visiting busy Skye, my husband and I absolutely loved escaping by tiny ferry to this peaceful, rustic inn with its lovely loch views and friendly staff. Our room wasn't fancy, but it was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We savored a delicious dinner and breakfast there, and enjoyed walking the quiet road (in company with some sheep) to look at the pretty lighthouse and sample fantastic brews/views at Ardgour Ales. The ferry does make some noise when arriving and departing throughout the day, but all is quiet at night. Our only regret is that we didn't stay here longer than one night!

We had a family lunch, 12 people, on the 22nd February in memory of our Mum and sister. The food was excellent as was the service. Wide variety on the menu and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back. The restaurant was really busy which is always a good sign

Visited with two hungry teenagers after completing the awesome Elie Chainwalk. We were made completely welcome and had an absolutely delicious lunch, with friendly and efficient service. Back later for rugby viewing with a friendly and entertaining crowd, lovely atmosphere, brilliant place. It’s spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated.

A fantastic restaurant and place to stop for coffee and lunch. Traditional (in the best sense) food, all freshly made, lovely staff, dog-friendly, very clean and tidy. The service was very quick and the staff welcoming and friendly. It is by the A823 with plenty of parking. There are tables and benches outside for sunnier days. The village is pretty and the surrounding country is beautiful.

Tried out Honeycomb Ice Cream - It was delicious!!!! Everytime we visit - they never disappoint with food! Try and visit!!!

Visited on Friday early evening and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The staff were very welcoming and attentive . Food was excellent ,plentiful and well presented. Definitely recommend and good value.

We stumbled upon this gem while wandering around Glencoe, hungry and just looking for somewhere warm to sit. We didn’t have high expectations, but the moment we stepped in, it felt like we had walked into a Christmas romantic comedy set! The cozy atmosphere, warm lighting, and stunning views made it so inviting. The food was excellent—well worth the wait. The service was a little slow, but honestly, we didn’t mind at all. We were too busy enjoying our drinks, the view, and the magical ambiance. If you’re ever in Glencoe, this place is a must-visit for a relaxing and heartwarming experience!

Great pub with a good selection of beer and scotch. Very friendly staff. As it is at the end of the Pennine Way and is on Cuthberts Way, it is very friendly to walkers and outdoor types in general. The food is good solid pub food.

We had the most amazing afternoon tea experience in the Bubble. We can't praise the Banff Springs highly enough. This was a mini 'hen party ' and so much thought had gone into making this so special for the bride to be. Beautifully decorated, Beth and her team looked after us so well. The quality of the food and drinks was outstanding. A lovely afternoon was had by all. Highly recommend! A big thank you to all involved!

Popped n for a quick bite to eat whilst the car was being MOT’d. This is a dog friendly place with toilets upstairs! Server at the bar was really very friendly announcing the drinks specials of the day. We ordered food from the specials menu - a main plus starter or a dessert including a drink - £20 for two! With a price like this it would be rude not to have a go. We chose chicken wings in bbq sauce and nachos with all the trimmings. Chicken wings were ok but the nachos were served cold with a salsa, jalapeño and a dirt of cheese flavoured sauce - spices but I wouldn’t take this again. Mains was a fish and chip supper and Cumberland sausages with mash and peas Chips were ok but missing something and the fish was an average piece of fish wrapped in a batter. This was a mass produced fish. Sausages on mash. Mash tasted like it was pre-made smash, very dry. Sausages I think were precooked somewhere and then reheated. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. The food was edible and the server tried very hard to ensure that we were looked after. I think the venue is more a sports bar vs a go to restaurant. I would go back with mate, but if we’re talking romantic evenings I would probably go elsewhere as this is not fine dining.

Good food. Friendly services and good variety. if you’re traveling with a dog, this is a place to go . Dining inside and out.

Family meal was was good, but I unfortunately drew the short straw. The £35 fillet steak was tough, so I sent it back. As they could not guarantee that a replacement would be any better, ( they need to change their butcher ) I chose the burger instead, which was good. They knew how to handle the situation correctly, with good staff engagement and a complementary burger. We will return, as it's normally good there.

The place was empty when we arrived, so we managed to get our food ordered in good time. We all had scampi and chips, which was enjoyable. There was a very nice and relaxed atmosphere about the place till a bus load of noisy pensioners arrived and the staff went into overdrive. All-in-all a great place to stop and have a break, without breaking the bank.

I have been going to this pub for 47 years on and off. On Sunday I went for lunch with my son and after we shared our starters, pigeon breast and Scotch egg, I was disappointed with the pigeon as it was very tough and came cut in cubes?? The pork parcel thing wasn't much better with what can only be described as baby sick over pastry and dry pork. I complained that day, we ate what we could palate and I paid the £86, they didn't charge for the one sweet, whoopee. So late that night my son calls me and says he's ill, I was also stuck to the toilet house spewing. After a visit to a doctor I was given meds for food poisoning. I called the Meiklour Arms 4 times and left emails but after 4 days I received no reply. So I drove the 20mls to see someone face to face. All I was met with was the rudest woman ive ever encountered who said there was nothing wrong with the food and its funny how nobody else fell ill? What? Did we all share the same pigeon? Yet she was adamant there was nothing wrong with the food cause they checked it! Hahaha so you ate some of it too to just check it? No, I'm sorry this is not how you treat customers who have been going to your place spending lots of money and never had a complaint before..ignorant, stuck up snobbish BS! Avoid this place, Fawley towers at its best.

Soup and sandwich lunch and a ham and cheese toastie which were good but the Cullen skink was sadly lacking in smoked haddock only a couple of small flakes. The soup was essentially leek and potato with a hint of fish which is not Cullen skink as I know it.
