The best restaurants serving British food in Kirriemuir and Dean Angus Central Scotland

A really friendly place that shows what can be achieved when a community pulls together to save a pub at it’s heart. Great selection of Gins and really great music events.

Cracking bar. Great food . Friendly and what a bustling atmosphere. Looking forward to popping in again. Always busy for good reason. 👍

We were 6 friends out for our Christmas meal. We were welcomed and sat at a corner table. It was a bitterly cold day. Sadly, the temperature in the restaurant did nothing to warm us despite being sat near a tepid radiator. There was a table of revellers next to us that were rather loud, playing a quiz and making speeches which spoilt our gathering. This was no fault of the restaurant. The group was inconsiderate to other diners. Our selection was varied. The Christmas dinner was enjoyed by two of the group, the nut roast and steak pie were also met with complimentary remarks. Thd Duck beautifully cooked the accompanying veg delicious, which suited my small appetite. The venison portion was very small, a 2"x2" slice of dophinoise potatoes and two florets of broccoli. Sadly, one member of our group returned home hungry. I wasn't too happy as he belonged to me, so I had to cook on my return home. The apple crumble was delicious, the baked alaska was the Italian version, and sadly, it was not crispy on the outside but delicious. The wine was enjoyed by those who were luckily not driving.

Love this wee cafe. Coffee is lovely and cakes are just fabulous. Lunch is good too. Well worth a visit. Prices are very reasonable.

The meal was excellent and the food stunning. The newly refurbished clubhouse looked great and with about 20 others the atmosphere was good. Great views over the course. Best thing was the range of food available and the worst was the huge portions!! Fantastic value for money. The service was extremely friendly and very helpful. Happy people!! The "secret eatery" in Kirriemuir which is not well known with the public. The range of drinks available is also great at good prices. Everyone should try it and then become a social member for not much! Well done to the staff.

My husband and I stayed here in 2015 and I returned with my parents in August 2024- both times were lovely. The large lodge was as wonderful- very comfortable, well-equipped, and warm, and an excellent base for wonderful walks. Food in the pub was lovely, and service is friendly, warm, and kind. I hope to be back sooner rather than later!

As the season narrows, it’s appropriate to say thank you before they have their very well deserved break in January & February. I have been a regular in the restaurant all summer and can’t recommend higher than 5 stars, or I would. Margaret and her team offer the warmest of welcomes, the most special part of that is the authenticity behind it. She has picked the most customer centric team who greet you with a smile, serve fantastic food and represent the castle to the highest possible standard. Thank you and I look forward to next year. Enjoy your time off. The Apple Crumble deserves a very special mention :) Garry x
