The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

Lovely afternoon tea overlooking the sunny gardens in Troon. Great staff in classy hotel and restaurant.

Party of 6 to mark teenage grandson’s birthday. Food loved by all 3 generations. When John and Clare realised it was a birthday lunch they even lit a sparkly candle and we all sang Happy Birthday. Ace food freshly cooked. Wonderful location and nice relaxed atmosphere. Been here lots and it never disappoints. Thank you.

Lovely little cafe although slightly eccentric as the prices seem high but you get enormous amounts of food. It was also well presented and tasted great. Tea in china cups as well.

We have eaten here quite a few times now and look forward to eating here many times in the future. Everything is lovely - the excellent food, the friendly staff and the great atmosphere.

I enjoyed a lovely meal with a friend tonight, absolutely delicious. Turkey and all the trimmings followed by the nicest Cranachan I have tasted. The service was excellent as were the bar staff. Will be back soon.

Always great food with great service Can't wait till next visit

Delicious food and benefitting the community

My partner and I ate in the bar area on Friday night. Food was great, service friendly and helpful and the place had a really nice vibe.

Only ever had takeaway food from here. Staff are lovely and orders taken over the phone for collection. Cafe is warm and homely, dog friendly also. It's always been busy whenever we have been to collect with tables filled inside and out. Food is great with special mentions to the muirtown wrap, macaroni cheese and the millionaire traybake

We where very disappointed, my wife ordered the scallops which where okay, nothing special at all. Also had the steak which was very tough and hard to cut, it also had to much fat on it, once again very disappointed. On a plus side the service was good and ambiance was nice. We will not rush back with Melrose offering so many other options. Very disappointed as we looked forward to eating here while on holiday from overseas.

Just so lovely to have lunch, and there is a good selection of vegan and gluten free alternatives, for those who need it. The wife had a lovely baked potato with vegan ‘sheese’ and red onion. I had a toastie. Lots of little things you can buy around the shop too, which was nice. Just a lovely warming place, when it was so cold outside 😁🥰

Love Small Talk. Great food baking and service given by Alison Anne and all their staff.

Omg! I thought it was takeout only. Freezing out and found this. Scone and tea!

Lovely little cafe on the upper floor of the old building. There are photos in the stairwell showing how the building was converted to its current use. Friendly staff serve a wide range of teas and decent coffees and a load of different pastries and lunches. Masses of parking opposite.

Visited for afternoon tea being recommended by friends and family who have stayed. We had similar reaction to them, albeit without experience of the bedrooms. Fantastic service, warm ambiance in a historic setting of great beauty but somewhat living off past glories, inside and out signs of update/modernisation needed. Lovely food for tea and my pot of Marsala chai was the best I’ve ever had. Our thanks to the team.
