The best restaurants serving British food in Central Scotland

Lovely wee spot with delicious food and great service ! Would recommend the chicken tikka panini, made with real chicken tikka 🥰 beautiful cakes aswell!!!

Visited this wonderful tea room having visited the area and read the reviews. Had a lovely cup of tea with the most amazing home made chocolate orange cake. There was a huge choice of cake available, I’m not sure how the lady remembered them all. We never looked at the lunch menu, but will next time we visit. All of the staff were really friendly. The lady did tell us that they don’t take cards but could take a bank transfer or cash. If visiting the area, a stop off is definitely recommended.

After a surprise visit from No1 son we went out for tea, service and food ticked all the boxes and would have no hesitation in recommending certainly a credit to the town. Word of caution always safer making a reservation so you don’t miss out.

Had a really lovely meal here last weekend! Great food and nice atmosphere. Very close little place. Nice seafood options and love the foraged mushrooms!

I discovered the wonderful Tea Garden at Comrie Croft when out for a drive. Easy parking. Very friendly staff. Beautifully presented, delicious cakes and bakes. Extremely clean and tidy. Lovely, lovely coffee. Great to be able to sit inside or out. The staff are wonderful with nice chat and local information. Will definitely return and can recommend highly to everyone.

Absolutely superb Friday supper club. Mussels were fantastic, as was the venison and rhubarb Pavlova to finish. Unbelievable.

Fantastic evening of food and beer with great service on our last night on Tiree at Ceabhar - A great discovery and will definitely be back

Best burger in town!!!! Highly recommend this cafe for lunch. I've come here previously for cake coffee and breakfast, which have always been amazing but we have just had our minds blown with panni is and burgers!!!! 5 star service too. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Food was absolutely delicious, great menu options, amazing local seafood and a whole seperate Vegan menu was available for 1 member of our party that was Vegan, ate here 2 nights in a row and was very pleased with the food and the service both nights

What an amazing place, the owners Scott and Steph supported by Katie gave us an amazing experience from start to finish. We were invited into cosy and relaxed lounge area to take as much time as we liked before dinner with every drink you can imagine. We were blessed with an appearance of stags and deer outside that freely roam the estate. When we decided to move into the restaurant Steph the chefs cooking - wow !!!!!- every chosen and surprise course was incredible. We’ve eaten out a lot but nothing compared to the quality of the cooking here - it all worked so well. Their thoughtfulness and inclusivity when it came to my wife’s gluten free alternatives was the best we’ve experienced where every course, even some to nibbles had a gluten free option. Throughout the evening Katie and Scott were amazingly attentive, and Scott also gave his time to educate and allow us to try some of the amazing collection of whiskeys. Blown away by the whole experience and thank you so much. There’s a station just outside this remote restaurant and the thought of taking a sleeper up for a few days is one we’ve started looking into already.

12th January was my wife's birthday, so I searched out somewhere I thought might be "special", using Tripadvisor reviews. Cairn Lodge seemed the place, but turned out to be something different from all the glowing reviews. But let me be fair. There were some good points. The ambience of the Garden Restaurant was very pleasant, and the staff were very attentive. But the food has a serious problem. We decided on 2 courses and 3 of us chose the belly pork. We all knew that belly potk is usually slow roasted and comes with crisp crackling and soft, tender, melt in your mouth meat. We were sadly disappointed. My wife had one mouthful and left the rest of the pork. Instead of meeting our expectations, the belly pork servings more closely answered the descriptions of Scotland's number 1 catering wholesaler, Brakes, who in their online belly pork advert to the trade, say, "Once reheated by either boiling or microwaving in the bag from frozen, remove and finish under the grill to brown the top as desired and serve..." The pork showed no sign of being roasted and then sliced on site. All the pieces were identical, suggesting factory production. All were equally tough. The pieces of carrot and parsnip , and the roast potatoes, were tasty enough, but the near incinerated Yorkshire puddings needed to have been "reheated" for several minutes less. Presumably they came from the same stable as the pork. Around the dining room, everyone seemed to have the same bought-in offerings, all treated in the same way. I have several observations. We are all used to this sort of food in the cheap fast-food places attached to Travelodges and the like, but Cairn Lodge presents itself as some special. Instead, you offer second-rate food at inflated prices. The meal for 4, with no wine, cost just under £160. I feel there is a certain dishonesty in what you are offering. Over-priced and second rate. Secondly, I am very disappointed that you have apparently weaned your clientele on to this standard of food, and they actually believe it is a good standard.. I come from a background as a writer for one of the major travel companies, and I can tell you that your food is not of the quality customers are led to believe. It is second-rate, and does not belong to an hotel which promotes itself as giving quality. Clearly we will not be back.

The best steak pie in this area by a country mile. You must try this gastro pub if you like freshly cooked British food. Good berry crumble served with cream or custard.

Ate here whilst staying for 3 nights in Tobermory, and it was the best meal we ate. Filling, tasty, well cooked and presented. Recommended.

Went back today after it being a while since we had been. More great chat about jam making and great service. Had lovely soup and toastie. Really recommend dropping in if you are in the area.

Now this is what I call a bowl of soup. The tastiest chicken and rice soup I've ever had. So filling unfortunately I had no room for a tasty toastie or any of the cakes on display. This welcoming cafe in the pretty village of Kirkmichael in South Ayrshire is well worth the drive. Just 20 mins from Ayr.
