The best restaurants serving British food in Monifieth and Sidlaw Angus Central Scotland

We had to wait 45 minutes for starter, but when we asked about it they were excellent and got it straight away and all gave us all a free drink, steak night excellent value and I like that you can mix n match menus

Food was lovely. No complaints at all. However, when it came to paying, (I always use Apple Pay) the machine wanted me to swipe my card. I never have my card with me because as already stated, I use Apple Pay. I informed the lady that I did not have my card. She said in a loud voice that she needed payment.and said that the machine did not belong to the establishment. I informed her that there must be a problem with the machine as exactly the same thing happened the last time I visited in January. At that time I thought it was a glitch and never thought for one minute that it would happen again. When I told her this she shrugged her shoulders and said “that’s technology “. She then admitted that it had happened a “few times” I found the whole situation extremely embarrassing as the restaurant was full and there were other customers waiting to pay. She then said I could pay over the phone with my card the following day so “I wouldn’t have to come back in to pay!!!” I told her I wouldn’t be coming all the way back from Arbroath and I duly gave her my phone number so she will phone me tomorrow and I will pay by card. However, I think the restaurant need to take responsibility for this, and investigate why this is happening. This is the only place that I have had problems using Apple Pay. The whole point of it is that you don’t need to carry your card. Quite frankly I felt humiliated and felt as if I I just didn’t want to pay for my meal. I think this is poor service and very poor attitude from staff. I certainly wouldn’t want anyone else feel the way I was made to feel. I certainly won’t be going back.

We've just had a lovely couple of days at the Stargazer Lodge, enjoying the cosy atmosphere and the fab hot tub! The double shepherd hut was so well fitted - gorgeous wee kitchen, belting shower, huge bath, and beautiful oak features. It was really special. If I had to offer constructive criticism, I'd say that the addition of a chest of drawers in the bedroom would be a great feature, and a wee shaving mirror in the bathroom (my other half's suggestion). All in all, a fab break, and we'll definitely come back.

Fabulous meal, lovely efficient and polite staff. Good value for money. A must visit.

Good value, lovely filling food. Portions were huge and tasty. The gammon was one of the best ever tasted. Brilliant deal of £26.99 for 2 course's, drink and breakfast in the morning. All staff were lovely and helpful.

Stopped for lunch & it was not a good experience mashed potatoes were stone cold & had to be returned, service not very good either.. certainly one of those places I’llnever return to !!
