The best restaurants serving British food in Central Scotland

A fantastic wholesome establishment, where you are welcomed with genuine warmth. Would not go past it! Quality drinks and food.

We were so disappointed that this once fantastic ice cream shop has now changed to ‘Mr Whippy’!! No flavour selection unless you chose the tubs mentioned in the previous review. My niece chose an Oreo milkshake which was OK at best and extremely overpriced at £6! Will not be back!

Lovely little bar area with a great atmosphere. The food was good. The only thing was it said hand cut chips, they were definitely not hand cut. It would have been 5 stars all day if it was. Would definitely eat here again.

Table was booked for 6:45 pm Food was pretty good. Service left much to be desired, brought water and wine. Had to open the wine ourselves? We asked for the desert menu and was pestered 3 times within 5mins if we wanted a sweet. Staff seemed like they could not get rid of us quick enough! We had to ask for the bill twice. We would not go back.

Stopped in for lunch. Service was excellent, relaxed and very personal. Scallops were to die for then came the best Venison steak I have had in a long time.

We had afternoon tea. You get two separate tea choices per person, which is nice. The detox tea was lovely. You then choose two of the cold sandwich types which will then be presented with a sausage roll and a quiche. The quiche was absolutely delicious. The sausage roll was fine. The other cold sandwiches were fine. The desserts were plentiful and included Victoria sponge, jammy dodger, carrot cake, Biscoff bonbon, Rocky Road, and some fruit. The scones were super hot and delicious with clotted cream and strawberry jam. I wish there was a little bit more options with the sandwich choices, something like a cheese and cucumber would be lovely. The portions were massive. The soup of the day was lovely. The single fruit scone of the normal size was also massive but a little on the dense side. The desserts were quite sweet. Even with removing some of the icing. You pay at the front counter. Service was pretty good. The first waitress was especially kind and nice.

Having always enjoyed meals at The Doll’s House we imagined this was a mere name change, and were drawn in by the offer of a reasonably priced set menu all day Wednesday and Thursday. Inside the decor was smart enough and the waitress pleasant. However they were unaware of the set menu offer clearly advertised outside, and then said they’d still put our meal through at that price so long as we didn’t order anything expensive ! This wasn’t easy as five dishes were already sold out by 7.30, leaving little choice. The soups were ok, as was my deer, but my wife’s ratatouille was the most ridiculous item I’ve ever seen offered as main dish- three slices of undercooked courgette, a few tomatoes swimming in a watery sauce. We skipped desserts and were presented with a bill of £72, the manager having forgotten her promise. On appeal she applied a discount, but £58 was still very expensive for an experience that could charitably be described as poor. I’d steer well clear - there is no shortage of places to eat in St Andrews.

Arrived here for lunch with only 3 tables with sit down diners , the place was deserted. Met by a pasty faced Lady who asked if we had a reservation , I jokingly stated she must be kidding as the place was empty, her reply was , if you have no booking then sorry , we are fully booked ! Please remember this place is in the middle of nowhere really so there would not be 40 people turn up in the next 30 minutes for god sake. Disappointed went into the garden centre for a look about and a coffee .. after 30 minutes went back to the car to continue our journey , out of interest I popped back into the restaurant for a look and still pretty empty , maybe another 2 additional tables taken. In short I felt the hospitality offered was zero , there didn`t need to be the attitude of " no booking , no entry " . Even though I love seafood and know their reputation for quality , there was no need for the attitude and rudeness. Hence the poor review

Travelled for two and a half hours to Balgove Larder. Extremely disappointed. Very rude staff member Kayleigh had such a disgusting attitude and management too weak to correct it. Dogs not allowed into steak barn (definition of barn in the dictionary is to house livestock) and flatly refused to be allowed to eat our food outside. I think the barn is able to accommodate 80 however 4 people in when we arrived. No explanation needed! Very overpriced and the option to eat outside at a wee van is not appealing. Visit St Andrews it’s lovely and within St Andrews on South Street is Saints. Dog friendly great food and reasonable prices

Stopped in here on the way home from a short break. Having never been before, we stopped when we entered through the main door and stood waiting for the tattooed girl with the white T-shirt to finish typing before enquiring about food. She completely ignored us and when she eventually turned her head -I said hello - and she turned back to what she was doing and totally ignored us. We then went left into the bar and took our own seats. Food was nice, place was nice but that girl really ruined it for us. Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so miserable in their job. Sadly won’t be returning and giving money to a place in which staff make you feel unwelcome.

Visited with my family last night and had a beautiful meal. As always the food was gorgeous and service was fabulous. Suzy that served us was very nice and helpful and such a gem with my children too. Nothing was a problem to her or the other staff. It was busy when we were in, good to see & we all had a lovely evening. We will be back soon! As always a great night out and fab food! Thank you!

Went for a meal to celebrate my son’s 16th birthday. On arrival we were shown to our seats. We gave our drinks order and we waited about 20mins before they were brought to the table we then sat and waited for a further 1.5hrs.. when my partner went to enquire what was happening with our food he was told that they had just started making our dinner. We decided to pay for the drinks and leave. The drinks were expensive enough with a tin of irn bru was £3.65! Won’t be back unfortunately

Food not as good as it used to be ( hardly any beef in the dish i ordered, all cheese and peppercorn sauce.

Stpped because my tire pressure warning light came on - panicked as i had never done this before... the petrol station staff were FANTASTIC, helped me with the tires and was done in no time. Really saved my holiday. Brilliant!

There's always something inherently cheerful about the Green Welly Stop. Perhaps it's the name. Anyhoo, it's a tourist retail spot selling clothes and trinkets, with an attached restaurant, toilets, and plenty of free parking. It's a bit pricy, but the staff are great. (We had a good laugh over '500 miles'!) Also on the same site next door is a Londis type shop for the more prosaic items like bread and milk etc. Overall a really pleasant and useful stop. Best wishes all.
