The best restaurants serving British food in East Dunbartonshire Glasgow and Surrounding

Popped n for a quick bite to eat whilst the car was being MOT’d. This is a dog friendly place with toilets upstairs! Server at the bar was really very friendly announcing the drinks specials of the day. We ordered food from the specials menu - a main plus starter or a dessert including a drink - £20 for two! With a price like this it would be rude not to have a go. We chose chicken wings in bbq sauce and nachos with all the trimmings. Chicken wings were ok but the nachos were served cold with a salsa, jalapeño and a dirt of cheese flavoured sauce - spices but I wouldn’t take this again. Mains was a fish and chip supper and Cumberland sausages with mash and peas Chips were ok but missing something and the fish was an average piece of fish wrapped in a batter. This was a mass produced fish. Sausages on mash. Mash tasted like it was pre-made smash, very dry. Sausages I think were precooked somewhere and then reheated. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. The food was edible and the server tried very hard to ensure that we were looked after. I think the venue is more a sports bar vs a go to restaurant. I would go back with mate, but if we’re talking romantic evenings I would probably go elsewhere as this is not fine dining.

I had the most amazing lunch of poached eggs on toast today followed by the most delicious carrot cake. The cake was a complimentary gift from the very kind and talented owner. Best Carrot Cake ever.

My husband and I were regular customers before lockdown and when it changed hands didn't feel it was the same but now it is back to what it used to be. We have had a few meals recently and have been very impressed. Very good keep it up. Staff very friendly.

Visited Sunday lunchtime. The restaurant looked nice. The selection on the menu looked ok but not great. Decided to go for what you would think was a safe bet in fish and chips. Service was pretty slow. When it arrived, it was the worst fish and chips I’ve ever had. Overdone frozen fries, a thimble of pea paste, thin over done piece of fish and half a lime! The other people in our party enjoyed their food and not keen to make a fuss, I endured the fish alone. I went to pay the bill and explained that everyone else was pretty happy but my meal was dreadful and overdone. The plates had been cleared when I returned from the bathroom but at £14 I thought this was worth mentioning! I was told by the manager, ‘well if I can’t see it I don’t know there’s something wrong’ I explained it had been cleared by staff. I enquired why I was given a lime disguised as a lemon for the fish and told that was standard. Manager refused to take it off the bill. I was treating my parents to lunch. They had initially quite liked the look of the place and suggested it would be a nice place to host their 50th wedding celebration. After the shocking customer service on my meal, they decided against that plan. We won’t be back.

I have enjoyed many lovely lunches with friends and family. I also feel comfortable popping in on my own for a freshly baked scone and coffee as the staff are so nice and welcoming.

Popped into the cafe for some lunch whilst I was in Kirkintilloch. Friendly welcoming staff, environment cosy and clean. I ordered a lovely bowl of lentil and bacon soup, very tasty and piping hot as it should be. Lovely fresh sandwiches too and a great cup of coffee. Also had a crepe which again was lovely and made perfectly. Staff are on hand when needed but not intrusive. Lovely relaxing atmosphere, good music and also had a nice wee chat with a lady and her baby at the next table. Would definitely recommend a visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was very disappoined to have to pay almost £9.00 for a take-away cup of Lentil Soup only without bread and butter (my choice) followed by a black coffee made up from 'drip' coffee and half a mug of hot water. My friends and I frequent The Tea Coosy most weeks and usually it is fine with no complaints but this week I felt totally ripped off. There is no way a paper cup of soup and half a black coffee topped up with hot water was worth that. Disappointed in the extreme.

Great place to eat, food was great and cooked to perfection. Jo our waitress was fantastic and very accommodating, thank you for a pleasant experience

This evening I took my elderly parents my daughter and grand baby for dinner , I have been going a few weeks in a row with no issues till today, while awaiting table to get cleared my mum tried to signal to a waitress to see if she could clear table she avoided by going round another gentleman so the gentleman tapped her as she passed as he had saw my mother signal to her which she couldn’t have missed her reply to the gentleman was I heard her yes we were aware but you chose to walk past instead of a smile or reassure that your busy someone would get to us however another waitress came over and cleared the table and the young lad wiped it , my daughter ordered our food through the app we got our food mums macaroni needed a reheat and I was given no cutlery none of us had our drinks so I thought I’ll ask for cutlery when they bring our drinks dad was finished his dinner I’m still waiting mum had still to get hers heated so I went up and said to manager John who sent someone with a fork and he brought the drinks saying the girl didn’t bring the drinks cos the people at the table were being abusive to her not only were we shocked to hear this my daughters answer was we ordered through your app all the staff including the female manager was lovely the young boy was lovely and the waitress in the black and white dress was lovely but the tall slim girl in the dark needs to be trained in working with the public to go and lie saying the people at the table were very rude to her calling her a cow is disgusting if that were the case we should have been asked to leave this is the reason we were given to why we didn’t get our drinks !! Not good enough if she felt there was an issue easy solution get someone else to bring them like they did the manager John so dads meal was finished mine was cold and eventually got cutlery then mums had to be heated so what was meant to be a nice wee treat turned into a decision of we will not be back disgusted at the whole situation treated like that let me down terribly not to mention my mum and dad in their mid 80,s belong told that the girl had accused our table of abuse c as my daughter said even if that were the case it’s not right holding back our drinks till we had to go chase them up spoiled our night so all down to the tall slim waitress dressed all in black get people skills and hope she has a better day to treat her customers

Best soup I’ve ever had. The homemade soup here is incredible. I had the lentil and my friend had the mushroom and we both took another pot home with us! The breakfast rolls look lovely and the staff are so nice. Thanks and see you again!!

After learning on arrival that the restaurant we had booked for brunch only serves drinks on a Monday, we found ourselves in ViVi’s. The team were great and accommodated our needs….dog friendly and able to make adjustments on the menus to need coeliac / gluten free needs - I would note this could be improved by actually highlighting on the main menu rather than having to ask. Either way the food was delicious….i highly recommend the French Toast with bacon and fig! All others were equally pleased with their food and the pup certainly enjoyed her very own pup cup.

I eat here regularly with friends as food is generally good. We think Senga is a fantastic member of staff, always has a smile and chats away while doing her work. The younger girls we find to be very rude at times, on more than one occasion they’ve clearly noticed us waiting to be served only to be deliberately ignored. We only come now if Senga is on shift as her customer service is impeccable.
