The best restaurants serving British food in Lowlands

Never stay at this hotel. The restaurant food is delicious and large portions. My family use to regularly eat here every Sunday before Covid. After Covid there's a staff shortage that affects the quality of the services. I only visit the restaurant again because the hotel is closing on the June 2nd this year. It is sad to see the hotel close. Hopefully someone buys this hotel and turn it into an apartments.

We stayed for a few nights after our wedding as it was close to the venue and it was amazing from start to finish. The staff couldn’t be more helpful, the food is absolutely delicious and the decor/vibe is wonderful. The towels were also really lovely and fluffy. We absolutely loved our time here and will definitely be back.

We have eaten here a handful of times,so decided to stay a couple of days...comfy beds and warm room.The food is excellent,we ate twice on the Saturday and had Sunday lunch,the locals in the bar friendly.a nice place to stay,thank you Laura.

Welcoming hosts and staff, great base to explore the area. Good food and drink offerings, cater well for allergens. Room was homely and comfortable. Would recommend!

A relatively smaller wetherspoon compares to others. During tea time it was not as hustling and bustling as I would expect. Good experience.

Absolutely awful bacon and sausage almost raw and bacon very salty. potato scone burnt. Wouldn't eat there again

Great find! A lovely little pub that serves great, homecooking food. The service was also really good with a lovely, friendly lady doing everything! Dog friendly too.

Breakfast was very good and so cheap compared to other places. Vegan definitely recommended..

Down to earth place. And go understanding that.

Great friendly place to stay for a few

Went for Sunday lunch, it was ok. Plates for the carvery dangerously hot, A HAZARD. Meals were ok. Desserts were nice with a teaspoon of custard. The ice cream was sorbet which if we'd known we wouldn't have bothered with. Would probably go back if in area.

Used to dine here every second week. But closed to the public in Dumfries. So we will never dine in a Table table again the same as our friends. You decided to close to the public.

Mackays was absolutely the best fish and chips I had tasted in years. The portions were very generous, and the menu was surprisingly wide-ranging too.

Excellent service with you ordering everything from your table which is very convenient. Good choice of food although children’s menu could be better and there were no pizzas which dissapointed our youngest grandchild. We all enjoyed what we ordered and look forward to calling again soon.

This was our first visit to the Anchor and we will definitely be back. The food was tasty and well cooked. The tempura prawns were crisp and sweet and the haggis bon bons were also in a crisp shell. The Highland Game pie was superb with lots of fresh vegetables. The pasta dish was also good. Service throughout was friendly. Next time we would prefer to be in the room with the open fire as the room we were in lacked a little atmosphere. All in all a successful evening.
