The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

Applebank provided my family with a lovely spread after a funeral. They were very kind and helpful. The food was good and the service and staff were amazing.

Ask for 2 Jumbo haddock supper, then sat down , less than 2 minutes later I was called to collect them, as it was rather quick I asked if they were reheated, answer no, I'll call him a liar, £27 for rubbish total rubbish no wonder restaurant was empty , greasy crap, don't go near this place, two lads messing about behind the counter, should be sacked, this was Monday 12 may at 18.15.

We came here as a big group of 14 people. Staff were very accommodating and everyone enjoyed their food. The playground outside is great for children to play at too.

We were on time for our early evening booking. Amanda and Isla greeted us and seated us at our allotted table. Our first course was a delightful three-variations-on-salmon medley. The butternut squash risotto fulfilled its menu promise. A delicious haddock had to be extricated unwillingly from a spongey wrapper, as the batter hadn't crisped at all. "I'll advise the chef." The accompanying peas were reminiscent of escaped ball bearings. Meanwhile, a European couple had arrived at the adjacent table. Unfamiliar with some of the menu, they were given clear advice. Reluctantly the man resorted to the safety of a burger. When it arrived, he called for attention, as he considered it over-cooked. He was told, as many of the diners will have heard, that "the law of this country is that it must be cooked like that; if it was pink we would be shut down." We left shortly after.

Absolutely stunning food, fantastic service as always. Long time visitor. Will be back soon! Perfect in every way as always!

September 29th the wife and I swung in for some grub to share and had a few pints 🍺 as well👍

Dreadful from beginning to end. Minimalist ‘menu’ Unprofessional , discourteous and disinterested staff. Awful food. Badly prepared. Badly presented and virtually inedible. The worst dining experience I have ever experienced anywhere.

Fun! Did karaoke and lost a jacket but the staff kept it behind the bar 😆

Oh dear what has happened?! Although it has always been expensive you didn’t mind as much as service was always great and had a buzz. Sadly it’s died a death no atmosphere. Wine came before water very very poor.

Lovely breakfast. Friendly and polite staff. Good value for money Variety on lunch menu which is also good value. Food served fast and piping hot

Unexpectedly the pictures definitely make the place look better than it is and I hastily booked without checking out the reviews. I guess it is a charming wee hotel and the lift an interesting feature however I probably wouldn't stay here again. The original room we were allocated wasn't the cleanest and having what appeared to be pubic hair in the bath was slightly off-putting. We were upgraded to a new room which appeared much cleaner but as others have said the bathrooms are dated. Location was perfect for us and the event we were attending, and luckily it was only an overnight. Personally, if you are considering this hotel you may want to just book a premier inn or travel lodge instead since you know what to expect for the cost. I'm also surprised no-one has mentioned the weird smell that seems to be around once you have used your card to get through the first doors to the corridor of rooms as well as the rooms themselves. This was prevalent in both floor 3, the room and floor 2 and the upgraded room. The windows in the room do not open and the air con is just a con as the room was warm and had no air all night, as well as the constant noise of the machine meant we were unable to sleep at all. We left at 8am, and the blast of fresh air when leaving the hotel is a feeling of relief we will never forget! Staff were nice and personable so no faults there.

Beautiful hotel, service wasn't the best, we had problems using the QR code and couldn't get a paper menu from several servers so we went elsewhere for dinner.

Inexplicably just stopped being a restaurant. Can't find anything about it online. Open but for what purpose I don't know. Now the guests at the associated premier inn next door have nowhere to eat. We were regulars and it was great to have somewhere affordable and reliable to get a meal. We are owed an explanation.

Just went in on the off chance for a drink and snack. Great place and can't belive we have never been in before.

Just been back in the black bull Rothsey. 10of us ,first time since new owners.We were made to feel very welcome.You can now take your dog in which was great for us.Will definitely be calling in again.
