The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

I had mac and cheese and enjoyed it but it did not agree with my stomach. Lack of staff considering tables were full,staff were friendly

This hotel is dated, dirty and damp. We stayed here for 2 nights bed and breakfast, we were not checked in politely, just given our key to No 24. There was a ‘dirty smell’ in the room and the window had been left open which is a good job because it was that dirty you couldn’t see through it. The bedding was adequate, but the TV didn’t work. There were watermarks on the wall from a leak that had not been re painted. The bathroom was dated and had visible signs of damp. There also was an electric towel rail that had black insulation tape wrapped round the electric cable connection, with a PAT test sticker on it dated 2018!!!! You only need portable appliances to be PAT tested! The bar area was not the best and the staff ate their meals at the table in the bar and one of them even regularly took his blood pressure with a portable monitor. We came down for breakfast and were met with an abundance of opened large cereal boxes and uncovered fruit and cheeses which were very tempting to the many flies in the lobby area next to the ‘dining room’. We sat at a table but the carpet was that dirty and sticky the chair stuck to it!!! ….we didn’t eat breakfast!! It was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in the owners have left it to rack and ruin and it’s a shame as it’s a historical building in a nice little town.

Hadn't been here since it changed its name. Strange sort of entrance with a lot of steps. Very very dark back room. Still, staff were friendly and drinks were reasonable!

We were there during the Haal festival and the restaurant was very efficiently run and the food was great.

Great stop for food after whisky tour at strathisla distillery. Staff helpful and service is quick even as a big group Good portions and the curry sauce is brilliant,

First time visiting today with our grandson. Wow a hidden gem. Food was freshly cooked to order, waitress was amazing very friendly took time to let my grandson see all the different salt and pepper sets we had dragons. Would highly recommend we wil definitely be back. Great prices too and lovely atmosphere and ice cream to die for.

Went to the pizza night last night for September Weekend absolutely great food was all fresh and amazing selection staff lovely helpful and friendly well done

Great coffee and recent refurb looks good, however toilets were unclean and smelly. A little more attention required.

Popped into this cafe this morning for a cuppa. It is a community cafe and lovely. The ladies who serve you are very friendly and helpful. Loved their coffee. It was attached to a craft exhibit so easy to access. If in Orkney be sure to pop into this cafe.

Ordered 2 paninis with chicken bacon and cheese which were tasty but small portion for the price charged. They came with a tiny salad and small portion of crisps. Had a coffee and hot chocolate and was charged £27. Next day went into Ben Arthur's bothy and we had a 2 course meal and drinks for only £10 more which was far better value.

Absolutely scrumptious traybakes and hot chocolate (with the works).. our first visit here but certainly won't be our last.. p.s thanks for the recipe 😋

The experience was great, very good service, big portions, fast serving times, and Stewart that works as a dishwasher on Saturdays is a very nice young lad.

Decided to break the journey from SE England to the Highlands with a stop at Lockerbie. The King's Arms is a wonderfully welcoming hotel, with great staff. It was a bit of a treat to stay somewhere that wasn't a big corporate chain, and that had a personal feel. The room was well appointed and cosy,and the food was incredible. Really lovely staff made the experience one I would definitely recommend. Thank you!

3 of us for a Spa treatment and lunch Arrived early to use the Spa. Called for our treatments which were all very good and enjoyable. Lunch in Orangery. Soup and sandwiches were very nice. Temperature in here was very cold and didnt heat up very quickly. Tea or coffee was extra to our Spa/ Lunch voucher.

Iona is very small so there are limited offerings. Plus if busy, places often run out of different food. I had the kimchi tofu bon Ami sandwich and my husband had the Italian sandwich. I enjoyed my flavorful sandwich and my husband’s sandwich had one thin piece of meat…but it filled the gullet. Staff was fine and prices were reasonable
