The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

Very enjoyable evening. Exceptional cuisine. Delightful atmosphere. Impeccable service. The scallops (photo below) were the best we’ve ever had. The added Kale and bacon just worked! Entire team treated us like we’re family. 10 stars!!

Staying in strathtay so this restaurant is only a 5/10 walk or 2 minutes by car The menu was great with so much choice and the service was excellent Food lovely we had haddock chips tartar sauce with crushed peas an side salad , delicious We also ordered fish of the day mackerel in a chimmichuri sauce which came with potatoes and a garlic and a side salad

I got a seat in a packed restaurant despite not having a reservation. Thank you. The soup and food were very good. A large selection of regional beers. I envy the staff here, and not just the two of them. It's pure stress. The food comes quickly and is hot.

Delicious nut roll, soup, and toasties! The sticky toffee pudding was incredible and so was the homemade shortbread!

Fish was stale and over-cooked, disgraceful.

Warm, welcoming hosts and delicious food. The full breakfast is extraordinarily tasty as all the lunch and dinner dishes. Kirklands hotel is certainly worth the extra mile!!

This was our first visit and we loved it. The staff are great and the food was delicious. We had the aracini to start and then the scampi and steak pie. Everything was fantastic. Highly recommended 👏

Excellent value and quality all day menu

En un viaje a Stirling decidimos venir aquí para un pequeño cambio, ya que no hemos estado en siglos y no nos decepcionaron. Los dos pedimos el almuerzo especial de pescado con papas fritas y un helado, también me dieron una olla de té y mi esposa recibió una cerveza de jengibre, y era delicioso y definitivamente vale la pena ir a las pocas millas adicionales para un almuerzo sabroso. Estábamos sentados justo en la ventana principal ... que no era ideal, ya que era un día abrasador y se sentía como si estuviéramos en un horno! El personal es muy amable y situado está impecable y se sirve rápidamente, y sin duda volveremos muy pronto! 10 / 10

My Dad and I enjoyed a thoroughly delicious, delightful lunch here. It was quiet but didn't lack atmosphere, beautiful old build full of charm, but with important aspects such as a wheelchair accessible entrance and toilet. Ben looked after us and was kind and attentive in all the ways that matters to us when we're having a treat of good food!

Stopped here for lunch. Great staff and yummy food. Fantastic view.

The restaurant is located in Biggar High Street, where there is parking on-street in the locality for those driving, however we’re fortunate enough to live within reasonable walking distance. It’s closed on Monday & Tuesdays but otherwise open for lunch and dinner. The menu usually has half a dozen starters and desserts with around eight mains courses to choose from and these all feature fairly frequent changes. Currently the cost of a three course meal is £31.95 per head which represents a modest saving on the individual course prices. Supplements apply to some dishes which can increase the cost marginally but on the upside there are also discounted deals, such as “Steak Night” on a Thursday where you can get a starter and a steak for £25. To give some idea of what food is offered, on our last couple of visits we had Thai Fish Cakes with lemon mayo, Warm Bacon, Black Pudding & Potato Salad, Chicken Liver Pate with oatcakes and a Mushroom, Brie & Thyme Tart as starters. For mains we’ve had Haddock wrapped in Parma Ham, Breast of Chicken in Drambuie Sauce, Parsley & Hazelnut Crusted Cod, and Ballotine of Chicken & Haggis with a whisky sauce (as an alternative to peppercorn) all served with a selection of potatoes and vegetables. For desserts we both had the Cherry Bakewell Tart with Amaretto Custard on one occasion, an Apple & Blueberry Crumble Tart with custard and a Baileys & Strawberry Cheesecake with Chantilly Cream and fresh berries on another visit. Generally speaking the food is very good with only an occasional slight disappointment when for example a flavour mentioned on the menu isn‘t particularly noticeable in the dish itself - the Amaretto was subtle to the extent we couldn’t taste it in the custard for instance. Drinks are typically priced for a restaurant - e.g. we had a bottle of wine at £32 on one of the visits, a glass of Sauvignon is £5.25, and a G&T £4.75. Service is friendly, mannerly and efficient in our experience. On the past couple of visits it was busy and there was a good ambiance in the main restaurant with some guests being directed to the upstairs section on one occasion. Our only gripe is that the seats are not all re-upholstered and if you get one which hasn’t been "padded-out" in recent times it can get quite uncomfortable sitting for too long which is not ideal. Toilets are well maintained.

Excellent meals with quality meat, we went back a few times that week.

First time there while visiting a local friend. I had a steak pie and must say it was really good. Nice chunky steak pieces and full. Only just managed to save a piece for my hound. I shall be back!

This is a wonderful slice of Scottish culture. Food, friendship, and tradition are rich and plentiful. Housed in a charming venue outside of Edinburgh, it is worth finding and driving to. There is absolutely no doubt that Kenny and his team will make you feel welcome. If you’re looking for a fast meal, forget about it. This place is about slowing down and getting to know what Scotland and its people are all about. Every single aspect of this evening is great. If I lived in Edinburgh, I would make it a point to take my family and visitors here often. I’m sure I will never forget the evening we spent there.
