The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

We called in here on our last visit to Peebles. A dog friendly cafeteria, it has indoor and outdoor seating and is accessed via an alleyway from the Main Street. I’ve not had a vegan scone for ages and this one was lovely, very tasty. The coffee is delicious too and the dog enjoyed her sausage. A regular spot now on our trips to Peebles.

My husband and I were regular customers before lockdown and when it changed hands didn't feel it was the same but now it is back to what it used to be. We have had a few meals recently and have been very impressed. Very good keep it up. Staff very friendly.

Me and my partner went here for brunch first thoughts was it was a lovely place inside but after being seated and another table came we realised that no table was cleared of the last persons plates etc even tho some staff were doing nothing,however we would like to compliment the 2 hardworking young men preparing the food, after we ordered our food arrives and it is not the correct food that was ordered the person who came over with the food went back and brought us the right food whilst stating that we were in the wrong and said “it is your food “ even tho it was a completely different thing, my partner also wanted a scotch egg so ordered the ploughman’s platter that includes a scotch Egg it arrived without and we weren't told they had ran out on ordering it also never came with the cheese it stated on menu

We have had several meals at the Carfraemill in the past few months and they were all excellent. The service is friendly and helpful and the portions are very generous and the prices are very reasonable. Would definitely recommend!

Excelente servicio y menú. Personal muy acogedor. Muy limpio y limpio. Admite perros. Merece la pena una visita en cualquier día que esté abierto.

Came for lunch , restaurant was very busy but found us a table in the corner. Enjoyed the lunch , especially the fish chowder ! The service as pleasant, swift and efficient !

We always have a great meal at Lochside and this Sunday Lunch was no exception a jewel in East Ayrshire the monkfish was sensational, the service friendly and efficient the table spacious, the seats comfy and it had views what more do you want

There were 4 of us. We had a good meal tho my chicken was overdone. They catered well for gf and large portions. ( great chips !) What made it so enjoyable was the delightful Aussie waitress Georgia. She was new , her second day and doing her best to learn the ropes. She was so welcoming and friendly.

food was fairly poor this time. wasn't the best. the ceaser salad wasn't the best the chicken was dry and the croutons were so oily they were disgusting. the soup had far to much basil in and wasn't nice. the service was terrible we waiting a while on arrival to be seated and then waited ages to have a drinks order and then ordering food and then waited ages for food and when we had young children getting upset because they were waiting made it not very enjoyable. then we had to ask three times! for the bill at the end of meal again with young children getting upset made the meal stressful. and defiantly not worth the drive out there. more time needs to be taken with service staff and not be rushing around and also made us feel concerned when the staff were rushing around and we had two young children in high chairs felt like the staff were going to knock them over! just need to slow down and be more aware of tables.

Great pub, fantastic staff, felt really welcome, food was outstanding, Leanne made us feel welcome, will definitely be back

Tomamos el té funerario de mi papá aquí. La habitación estaba perfectamente equipada y el personal era amable y muy servicial. La pasta para untar era preciosa, con un montón de té y café recargados. Gracias a todo el personal por ayudarnos a despedirnos de mi papá. xx

Excellent little road-side cafe near Balmullo, Fife, with views over the Eden estuary. Their is always a great choice of food, and the outside seating area is good for taking a dog.

There have been many changes since we last visited Whitmuir pre-pandemic. The farm food shop has gone and has been replaced by Junkshop Antiques (which used to operate from smaller premises on the site); The Dancing Light gallery apparently moved online some time ago and the vacant unit they previously occupied was due to be re-launched as a (Christmas) shop when we were there in November 2022. The café looks the same as before (minus the gallery’s paintings) but opened again under new ownership in September 2022 and now trades simply as Whitmuir Cafe. I’m glad to see the log burner remains in place as it is needed to try to keep this cavernous place warm at this time of year. Quercus Garden Plants still operate on the site however when we visited garden plants were not something we were looking to explore. At the time of our lunch visit there was a slow, steady flow of customers but these are large premises to fill so it lacked atmosphere. The menu choice is modest and we ordered up their Toastie of the Day, which was ham and cheese, served with house salad and dressing £6.95). My wife’s request to replace the sourdough bread with brown bread was met. I ordered a Bagel with chicken & lemon mayonnaise, also served with house salad and dressing (£6.25). We both enjoyed our lunch - the chicken was plentiful and tasty with the mayo, the toastie filling good quality and we both rated the house salad and dressing very highly. The only criticism was that the cutlery knives seemed blunt. The coffee we had along with the food was very good - Flat white (£2.95) and Americano (£2.60) - so we ordered another to go along with the home bakes both of which happened to be gluten free. My wife requested the smaller of the large looking slices of Treacle and Lemon tart on display, which turned out to be wise since she was unable to finish it; and I had an Almond slice which I too was unable to finish. Verdict on the cakes was “okay” however we have only rarely found a gluten free cake which we could say we really enjoyed so that is probably just our taste. Overall cost of lunch was just over £29 which we thought was good value. Staff were friendly and efficient. It’s early days for the revised format and not as attractive an overall destination for us however we wish them well. Check opening hours if travelling - seems to be Wednesday to Sunday, 10.00am until 4.00pm at present.

Very warm welcome from the staff who willingly changed the sports channel for us. Good food and Dog friendly. Just what we needed.

Fantastic cakes! The choc-nut slice is particularly good. Fantastic coffee too A really good place to stop off, very friendly host too
