The best restaurants serving British food in Lowlands

Absolutely outstanding tasting ciabatta lunches (the king oyster mushroom, the teriyaki seitan and the marinated tempeh, lettuce and tomato). I know I’ll be thinking about my lunch until I get to eat here again. Really good oat milk coffee and super freshly baked cakes - the fruit loaf, fruity bun and peanuty-iced muffin. So much love, skill and care goes into the food and welcoming atmosphere here that it’s just a wonderful place to eat and relax. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you for such lovely food and Sunday afternoon chat.

Just stopped off in passing for a coffee and scone. Excellent. Not one of the oversized scones that you often find nowadays. Very friendly and welcoming. Nice selection of gifts available too many of which are locally made. Will definitely be back.

On the 18th January at around 17-30 I rang to book a table as we where staying in the village for the evening I was told the restaurant was fully booked all night so no tables would be available I walked past at around 8pm that evening to visit the spar shop to get something to eat I was surprised to see only 2 tables occupied As this was the only place open to eat I was somewhat disappointed

Enjoyed our lunch at the Plough Inn, Leitholm today. Very impressed with gluten free choices on menu. Our dog was welcome and got a treat!. Would highly recommended.

You know when your wife takes a photograph of the room key and sends it to you with a caption "Please can I come here again" you know it's a success. Great find by my wife for out wedding anniversary and visit to Glasgow. Great location, fabulous food...

Absolutely stunning meal and service as per usual,young waitress was very polite and professional,great atmosphere and cosy little restaurant,both demolished the 3 courses,both had the confit of duck leg which just melted in the mouth,as a chef in the past this place is a class above the rest,Booked and returning again in for the festive, Thanks to emma and nick again👌

Visited The Pirn House recently and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. There's a varied menu with delicious dishes, catering for all. The owners have worked hard to comply with recent conditions and the restaurant looked inviting. The staff there are very welcoming and pleasant too. I can highly recommend The Pirn House.

Had breakfast here on a busy Thursday morning (just before mums group with 7! buggies). Excellent strong coffee and bacon rolls. Great friendly service

Faultless food and service in a superb, comfortable location. Birthday dinner for five of us, varied choices from beeg to schnitzel to scampi...all beautifully cooked and presented. 3 starters, 5 mains, 3 desserts, drinks and wine working out around £30 a head..great value. Will definitely be back

We visited this lovely little coffee shop on New Years Day. We received a warm welcome from both the staff and the environment. It's a cosy little shop with a decent amount of comfy seating which ranges from tables and chairs to a big squishy sofa. The menu consists mainly of (for example) bacon rolls, sandwiches and toasties all served with good quality crisps and coleslaw. Both of our meals were well presented, arrived really quickly and were delicious; perfect lunch on a snowy day. There's a good range of teas, coffees and soft drinks available. The toilets are to the side of the building and are immaculate with lots of "extras" like nice toiletries and obviously regularly checked and maintained. As it was New Years Day we were offered commentary prosecco/nosecco; which we didn't have but felt it was a really thoughtful touch. It'd be a great place to take the grandchildren and we noticed that dogs were also welcomed! We live fairly locally but had never visited before and will definitely be back.

Not been to Riversedge for quite some time and so pleased I returned for a further visit. Went early Friday afternoon and the premises were reasonably busy. Service was very efficient and friendly. Had a lovely cheese scone and a piping hot mug if good quality coffee. There’s quite an extensive menu and they cater extremely well for those that are gluten free. Prices reasonable and a nice atmosphere within. WiFi available. Extensive free parking available nearby. They also have a nice array of home crafts and jewellery available. A lovely well run establishment

We stayed at Windlestraw for the last night of our summer roadtrip. It was amazing and the food of a level we were not expecting. It was a set menu, everyone gathered for canapes and pre-dinner drinks in the lovely garden room before going through to the elegant dining room. I failed at a task I usually much better at and only took a couple of photos as I was enjoying my meal too much but every course was presented as beautifully as the two I did remember to immortalise.

Messaged direct 20/08/2022 and Dragonfly replied they have ceased serving food recently. Accommodation is available as self catering or B&B and unaffected.

Great cafe in a rural spot. As we were a group of 16 hungry cyclists and hadnt received a warm welcome at one cafe, we rang ahead to be told, yes, they could accommodate us. When we arrived 25 minutes later, the owner had made a victoria sponge! The scones were the best we've had so far.

We were recommended to come here for a traditional UK Sunday lunch by the people we rented our holiday cottage from. It did not disappoint. Lovely roast meal and very reasonably priced. Lovely view from the window onto the golf course. Nice people.
