The best restaurants serving British food in Central Scotland

Overpriced market fish plate.Served with a sliced baby potato ( really expecting at least 4-5 baby potatoes to be fair )and some peas in a sauce. Not very fillling .Sea trout was tasty but accomplishments were very sparce. Staff friendly and pleasant ambiance but overpriced

On previous visits I found the food ok and some dishes better than others but you get what you pay for at the end of the day. The last visit I had there I ordered steak pie (tiny portion with burnt pastry' with 'hand cut chips' (frozen fries) and a minuscule amount of vegetables. The standards have plummeted here recently.

Sunday Lunch here was ok.Nothing fantastic. We also bought two of the frozen meals available on site.Again , they were ok , but nothing special .

Petit endroit accueillant,très bon moment en ce lieu, breakfast excellent , accueil chaleureux, décor cosy.

Sunny Saturday afternoon - dog walk on Carsaig beach. Went to the coffee shop for a coffee - once in we fancied a bacon roll - can't go wrong - right?. To be fair there were a number of customers ordering toasties etc. They did say "we are very busy and it might take a while" What does that mean?" "ten minutes probably" Well sitting in the sunshine and looking out over the boats coming and going is no hardship. After half an hour we got a bit impatient and were assured that they are just almost there! So, after 40 minutes we were delivered two dry rolls with crispy bacon which falls apart under pressure. Dry as a bone inside and greasy outside? That's quite a trick! My labrador enjoyed it anyway. Why are we so hopeless at hospitality in Scotland?

Outstanding dinner in historic coaching inn. We had the fried brie and duck breast appetizers. I had the venison casserole which was one of the best dishes I've had in Scotland. If staying at the inn, make a reservation at the restaurant. Highly recommended.

We came to Jura Isle to take a self driving tour of the isle with a visit to Corran Sands. Our family migrated from Jura Isle to the United States leaving from Corran Sands. Beautiful beach for finding little shells, wandering in the water and just sitting and pondering.

Lovely welcome for us and our greyhounds. We came for lunch as we are on holiday in the area and then came back as the food is so scrumptious. We ate off the specials board the first time with lamb shanks in mint gravy and off the main menu the second time - fish and chips. And delicious puds - the absolute best raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake in the world closely followed by peach and chocolate crumble. It was a treat to find somewhere so welcoming to our hounds who although large are very well behaved. A big round of applause for the delightful members of staff for whom nothing was too much trouble.

Excellent anniversary lunch. All of the dishes were delicious, friendly attentive staff and good value for the quality of the food. Burrata, chilli prawns to start, followed by market fish (hake - delicious) and salmon and lobster sauce pasta. Affogato and mint ice cream and chocolate choux bun to finish.

Great coffee and recent refurb looks good, however toilets were unclean and smelly. A little more attention required.

We visited on Saturday 17th for Afternoon Tea, this was something we had done previously and had enjoyed it. This experience was very different, the savoury plate was very scant with little variety, the sweet plate was uninspiring as well. No one asked us if everything was okay, we were politely served but that’s where the service ended. Balathie House isn’t cheap for Afternoon Tea, it used to be sumptuous and good value, sadly it was far from it this time, we came away very disappointed and no one seemed to care.

We went for lunch and decided on hot roast pork with mashed potatoes and veg . When it came it was 2 thin pork chops that needed cooked longer . Lumpy mashed dry potatoes , 4 slices of carrots and a lot of peas . Usually we enjoy our lunch here to be fair but it let us down today . We did not complain but paid £24 for it . Maybe we should have .

When open (it has now closed permanently); it was a great wee eating house! We went there often. It will be sadly missed, used by many locals, tourists and organisations as an affordable restaurant.

Had the black pudding toastie. Hardly any black pudding in it. Cost over £8. Totally not worth the money. Had lovely food here before, so was very disappointed this time.

We popped in for lunch after being given a recommendation and we were delighted with everything. From a warm welcome, great service, bustling atmosphere of happy groups of people through to a smashing lunch - we felt throughly spoilt throughout.
