The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

After a very disappointing visit to the Ship we walked along to here. We only had enough time for one drink before we had to go for our train. The difference between the Ship and here was night and day. Staff friendly and helpful and actually behind the bar. Unlike the Ship. Tables cleared immediately unlike the Ship. Customers were welcoming and full of information about the best places to go in town. Plus cheaper than the aforementioned. Highly recommended.

Mediocre food, scruffy premises need a makeover, 1 member of staff pleasant, other 1 abrupt and would benefit from a customer relations course

Excellent! We had a caesar salad, onion rings, sauté greens, veggie lover's foccia and they were VERY good! Veg was fresh, sauces tasted really good, and service was quality care with classic Scottish hospitality.

This is a truly loveley place, even if you just want a quiet drink. The ambience is sophisticated, so it's ideal for a special occasion. We had a big anniversary, so went for a meal, which was lovely and well priced for such a swish place. We have gradually become "regulars", as it's such a pleasant environment to hang out.

Fab going back tomorrow myself and my father enjoyed thoroughly having tried other fish n chips facilities

We had a lovely lunch here. The patio is the dog-friendly area and fortunately the weather was suitable for it! There were quite a lot of options and the service was good. You can visit the cafe without visiting the museum (although the museum is also interesting).

Could not fault anything. The whole service, food and atmosphere was brilliant Very quick and pleasant service. Excellent

Lovely hotel with beautiful views and surroundings. Food was lovely too. Highly recommend

Chatty staff,nice ,very quiet restaurant.Good menu choices and excellent food.Hope to return again soon.

Lovely meal tonight. Had NC500 burger - fantastic. Starters were delicious. Partner had Steak Pie which was beautiful. Owner and staff were lovely especially the charming Zoe. Great wee lass. Highly recommend for food, drink and banter! We will definitely be back when in Helmsdale.

Tucked into the corner of the pier buildings in Brodick, you'll find the best coffee on Arran. It's the same price as anywhere else, but the size is more generous and the way it's made benefits from years of experience by the owner and head barista. There are cakes (please leave the blueberry muffins for locals ;-) ) and there is a small selection of toasted sandwiches and sausage rolls, available from noon. Locals meet here for coffee and tea. Some are, by their very nature, quite obscure in their ways. It all adds for some interesting debate, often shared unwittingly with people who just came for coffee but, like Ikea, they left with more than they bargained for. It can be amusing but mostly just inane chat about something local that doesn't quite need to be shared with anyone, but is anyway. The owner, John, has the patience required to run such an establishment. Dogs are welcome;...there is often a large red setter ("Dusty") in the building and he knows where the treats are. The decor on the walls is for sale and is supplied by local artists, photographers and graphic designers. The carpet is a sight to behold.

Booked in today to treat mum n I as we weren't able to spend Mother's Day together .Surpassed my expectations ! Round of sandwiches of our choice ,2 scones with jam n cream each and 4 cakes each .Certainly didn't come away hungry .The quality portion size and presentation was excellent . Chef did well and staff were all very efficient and helpful .Had lunch and breakfast here but can also recommend afternoon tea .Thanks team

Great local, prices are not exaggerated due to the location. Staff is alway wonderful but there is NO FOOD! It is a traditional pub.

Some places accept dogs _ The staff at the Roxburghe love dogs. We have stayed in a two bed cottage, the Bowmont Suite and stay and King Estate Suite which all provide luxury and space. We are welcomed with open arms, as are the dogs, who can go everywhere bar the space, the find dining restaurant and the whiskey bar. Thanks for another great stay.

Came as part of the Aberdeen Restaurant Week though we have been a few times before. Food was good-ample portions though it was for the special deal. Staff though mostly young were very professional and attentive. Only thing is menu never seems to have changed in all the years we have been going-could be doing with a revamp. Really nice hotel.
