The best restaurants serving British food in Central Scotland

Lovely welcoming coffee stop within beautifully kept estate. Highly recommend. A long road in but worth it. Closed on a Tuesday.

Stopped at the Rookery for lunch having cycled from Dundee. The food was excellent and the staff as previous mentioned were at another level. Whatever they are doing they are doing it right. Would highly recommend and will most definitely be back.

We drove here while staying in near by Kenmore after looking at pictures on Tripadvisor. We were looking for some breakfast and this had been advertised, however after arriving we were the only people in the cafe, we sat down to find that the only food they serve (apart from cakes) is soup. This was disappointing after making the trip and misleading pictures online. I would not recommend going here unless it was for a coffee and cake, do not expect any other food apart from soup. Staff were friendly and also displayed their disappointment at this menu change.

We sailed to Skipness Bay, anchored and took the dinghy to the beach. The short walk to the cabin took us past the smokehouse where there is a shop. The weather was unseasonably warm so we dined alfresco. The seafood platter for two arrived fairly quickly after ordering and it was fantastic! Langoustines, gravlax, crab, hot smoked salmon, mussels and a side of bread washed down with an Arran beer and a small Sancerre. Can’t recommend this place highly enough, a real gem in the Scottish food crown.

Went here both to see the water I’ll which was not working today because the water level was too low. It was possible to see the three floors of the mill and talk to a miller about the grinding process and history of the mill. Whilst there we went to the cafe which was very busy, we did get the last 2 seats. We had coffee and scone. The coffee was hot and tasty, the scones, one cheese which was great and a fruit one which came with home made jam, were both fresh and tasty. We saw the soups and other meals being eaten and it all to be good home cooking.

Good food overlooking the marina in croabh haven. The menu had lots to choose from and staff were very helpful. Be careful to check opening times especially out with high season.

This is definitely our favourite wee country pub, it’s an hours drive for us, but so worth it. Food never disappoints, portions are a bit big for me, but hubby helps out, service is excellent. We visited today as we had been out walking and we’re only 30 minutes away, we were lucky to get a table, as we hadn’t made a reservation. The prawn special was lovely, we shared it as a starter, scampi was very good, big portion though. Curry was really good, served with a popadom, spiced onions & mango chutney. All in all another lovely meal.

Fruit flies with your drinks, we booked for tonight as they were full Saturday, lovely food and pleasant welcome, but the fruit flies were really annoying and got into your drinks, husband sent back two drinks with flies in them. Would I return, probably not, spoilt by flies.

Place appeared to be closed up. Details on TripAdvisor wrong went mid week and it does not look like it's been open any time recently.

Busy little place. Excellent coffee and scone. Will be nice to sit out in the summer. I am forced to say more but can’t think of anything to add.

Always good coffee. Our go to cafe.

Delicious freshly made food and very friendly service . The shark toilet was very amusing and all constructed by the host. Dog friendly, George scored a bonio, ( or 2!!) the hosts are very welcoming and kind and could not do enough to ensure our comfort and needs met. Highly recommend. Easy access and parking.

The best chip shop in town and the staff and owner are very nice

Wow what a great place. If you want to feel like a local come to this restaurant. It was quaint in a great location and amazing food. Best scallops we ever had. Incredible whiskey selection, the best we’ve experienced at a restaurant.

Had a lovely dinner here. It’s an old fashioned style pub with friendly staff who made us welcome. Delicious food. Nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend. Booking required Friday and weekend.
