The best restaurants serving British food in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

My husband and I had an evening meal at The Smithy with a couple of friends on Saturday evening. The meal was excellent, as was the welcome and the service. The menu was imaginative and the atmosphere was very good. We would certainly eat there again if in the area and would thoroughly recommend it.

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.

Great food-both veggie and non veggie. Really reasonable-and the service was lovely. Dog friendly and if you’re in the area-it’s a must visit!

Went today for the Sunday Carvery, first class!! Food all home cooked and the staff were lovely. As it was so good, had to have puddings and all light and tasty. Will definitely be back.

3rd visit and we will be back, lovely food, service and atmosphere. My husband had the sticky toffee pannacotta and said.. That was truly yummy and Paul Hollywood Handshake worthy!!!

What a lovely little cafe overlooking the harbour at Weymouth. We received the warmest of welcomes, and we were lucky enough to get a seat in the window. The coffee was lovely and my 9 year old son gave the milkshake with cream and marshmallows top marks. We had a small breakfast and eggs Benedict with bacon and Hollandaise sauce, which was beautiful. I highly recommend stopping here for breakfast and we'll be back soon. Thank you to the super staff working today , 8th July 2024 x

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.

It's been a while but the food is terrific and we'll priced for what you get... cuppa is smashing too .. in short just what the doctor ordered

Fantastic selection of gluten free options. I had a gluten free lasagna for the first time in years. Followed by a gluten free chocolate fudge cake, delicious! I would highly recommend Castle Douglas golf club.

Estábamos en nuestro camino de vuelta a Escocia y pasamos por este camino, un poco de la ruta habitual. Buscando en línea en el mapa parecía que había muy poco en el camino de lugares para parar a comer algo y luego de repente encontramos la cafetería de la vieja escuela. Es un maravilloso hallazgo, le ofrecen un servicio a la zona y actúa como un centro para eventos sociales (por el calendario que juding se veía muy atractivo, pescado y patatas fritas y juegos de mesa o de una comida mexicana!). El servicio era muy amable y la comida era muy buena, tenemos la sopa de almendras con un sándwich. Hay juegos de mesa, revistas e incluso un bombín por si acaso son ciclismo! En el futuro me gustaría ser muy contentos de tomar el desvío a la carretera este a visitar de nuevo. Merece la pena quedarse en si estás en la zona.

Went with family for a pre Xmas lunch today. All I can say is it was first class. We will definitely be back soon. Each course was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. The students were very polite and efficient. Also value for money was second to none.

Out on bank holiday and visited “Caulders Garden Centre “ and while their decided to have a meal in the delightfully decorated Cafe & Eatery staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had lovely meal of “Scampi” which was very enjoyable and Latte Coffee’s and we found prices very competitive. Finally had to use WC and was impressed with the cleanliness all round in this place. Would definitely recommend to give it a try
