The best restaurants serving British food in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Great rooms and food and friendly staff only issue no bar or food on the monday of my stay apart from that a great place and food and staff only other issue no carpark but plenty of on street parking .

The only member of staff that did a great job was Therese with the red hair. Nothing was a problem for her, great service every time.

Took family for dinner and was very disappointed with both the service and the food which was overpriced. Anchor used to be a real favourite of mine. This was my first visit in 4 years and sadly based on my experience on this occasion, I wouldn’t recommend.

We’ve been twice over the last 6 months and one meal was lovely and the other had an issue. I had the chicken Parmy-which was lovely. My girlfriend had the Aubergine biggie course which was quite bland and watery. Dog friendly which is a bonus.

Popped in for breakfast. 1 vegetarian and 1 Scottish. Plenty choices, great portions, tasty maple syrup pancakes and great service. Maybe a bit pricey at almost £20 but the food was good.

Recently came here for coffee and pastry. Service was great, pastrie was good but coffee was terrible. Perfectly located right near the highway near the shopping center.

All the usual tourist stuff, with the accompanying prices, they do a nice range of sausage and the very illusive white pudding, this is very hard to get in England.

This is a traditional old fashioned transport caff, not cafe, a caff. It is a place for Lorry Drivers and long distance travel drivers to nip in and have a tea, coffee, and a roll during their tacho-breaks and let their eyes readjust whilst their truck sits in the layby outside. The decor and menu are based around how these caffs all used to be in the old days of the 1970s. I don't know if it is a recreation, or an actual genuine survivor, but it has it nailed. Keep your expectations in that mode, and try and park your car at the far end of the layby to leave the spaces by the door for the trucks, tankers, and occasional coach which need the extra space and run up, and you'll be fine.

The steak tasted boiled not fried and the onions were sparse and undercooked. This was not a good steak baguette. Nice service though in good surroundings.

tried to get a bacon roll 1128 cut off time was 1130 she said the breakfasts are finished but overheard the woman on the till saying to a member of staff who inquired about are the breakfast fininished she said yes I usually shout that but couldn't be bothered today,very disappointed poor show .

Rudely told no food as not enough staff. We were cold and asked for the fire to be lit. Told by the not so nice Tim that it was 17 degrees and “you’re joking “. No fire. So we left. Went to the George which was an absolute dream compared to the glendarroch. Felt unwelcome and an inconvenience at glendarroch. Never again will I take my family back. I was mortified at the poor quality of service and hospitality. Tim. You were awful

Disappointing, on two counts. The first was that although I said I was eating there (not taking it away), I was still given takeaway crockery including a plastic cup. I NEVER use single-use plastic cups. I either take my own mug, or go without. But also, there was no recycling bin! It was just one dustbin, and people were putting aluminium cans and plastic and rubbish all in together. The second disappointment was that on a blazing hot day, when I thought I would treat myself to a £4 iced coffee... it was barely cold, let alone iced! It was lukewarm, basically. Having said that, the toasted sandwich was nice - they had granary bread, which made it much more substantial and nutritious. The 'salad' was a bit meagre (a few bits of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber) and might better have been called a 'garnish'. The salad was only £1 extra, but really I would rather have paid a bit more and got a bit more. It's really not hard to buy these things these days. A tub of coleslaw from Lidl's would pay for itself with one customer! I went in with such high hopes, as it was a lovely day and a lovely location, but I won't go back. It's just not worth the money.

Arrived 8pm.locked dark and abviosly shut - no answer from.phone number posted on door no reply via booking app -it felt like a scam and had to.find somewhere else to.stay - they claimed we arrived after 11pm despite time stamped photos refused to refund via booking app- AVOID

Siempre me dijieron si pides un filete raro en un restaurante y se sirve de tamaño, el chef más probable ser británico, si es azul sirve, entonces el chef será continente europeo. Tuve la rara bife de costilla. Muy bien condimentado y cocinado a la perfección. Sin salir de mi camino para comer aquí.

Lovely bakery, I got a steak pie and a breakfast sandwich and they were both delicious, I know when I go back home I’ll be thinking about that sandwich lol, would highly recommend😊
