The best restaurants serving British food in Castle Douglas and Glenkens Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

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.

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.

Our meals were very good and the service was excellent.

While on a Motorcyle tour called here looking for somewhere to get a bite. after being directed by local shop keepers that we asked to find some where to eat and were surprised by the varied menu, ham and gruyere toast was very very tasty, service was reasonably quick considering they were almost full, staff were spot on, price was maybe a little dear but everything has had a hike, so considering the quality on a par, would recommend and use again when in town

Visited Castle Douglas last week and had lunch at the Scottish Pantry. Our soup and sandwiches were very pleasant and the soup was piping hot. Coffee and cake to finish off. The prices were very reasonable and I would happily recommend it.

If I could give more stars I would! We visited here on 2 occasions for food, as a family while holidaying along the road. My partner and I also enjoyed a few drinks in the beer garden on sunnier days. So impressed with the lovely, friendly, helpful staff. The food was really good pub grub, tasty and good value. I should have taken pictures, but I was too busy enjoying it!! Also, a special mention to the lovely wee lady behind the bar who got my rum & coke just right every time (1 ice cube 😉). If we lived locally, we'd be back for sure.

Visited for a family party that was being held in the hotel. We were made to feel so welcome. Staff are lovely and can't do enough for you. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Rooms were comfortable and immaculately clean. The function room was beautifully decorated and we had a brilliant time. I slept like a log and the breakfast was amazing! Highly recommended this lovely, friendly family run hotel. Can't wait to visit again!

recommend this small cafe on the main street of castle douglas they make banging cheese toasties but i will complain about one thing there was a cheeky young lad who works there an he made an inappropriate remark about my weight

Absolute gem. Great attention to detail in well curated small plates. Understated establishment where the food is forward. Wine and cocktail list superb. Service a terrific blend of friendly and professional. Not a touristy dining experience. Gourmand’s delight.

We stayed in crainryan an chose to have our tea here which was handy as we was stay next door having our evening meal here ment we could enjoy a drink r 2 . Such a friendly atmosphere brilliant people really enjoyed our night . Food was really nice this place is a must visit even if just to have a little drink an meet great people x

Your address is miss-guiding. You are not in Castle Douglas, but 15 Miles away in New Galloway! A drive after dinner!

Called in for a light lunch on a day out to Castle Douglas, had our dogs with us so looked for a dog friendly place. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and immediately offered our dogs a bowl of water as it was a warm day. The food was good cafe food, no frills but quick, tasty and well cooked. The place is very pleasant inside, well decorated (loved the mad hatter drawings and the dog bags) and surprisingly spacious and comfortable. If we are ever in that part of the world again we will definitely return.

Nice surroundings. Good staff , friendly and welcoming. Good food at reasonable prices . Busy but didn’t have to wait long.

We had a day out yesterday and ended up here for coffee. The sign at the entrance said the cafe was open until 4.30. As it was just before 4 when we parked round the back we thought we had plenty of time. However when we entered the cafe I approached the counter to order I was told in no uncertain terms that they were shut. When I pointed out that their sign had said it was open until 4.30 the rude assistant pointed to the sign on the counter which said last orders 4. I said it was 4 and we only wanted coffees she said 'well we're shut'. You would think that after 2 years of pandemic that businesses would be grateful for any money they could get, well that's not the case in this cafe. We had been going to buy some plants but left empty handed and on the way out told the assistant in the shop that we wouldn't be back. Their loss is someone else's gain

Let's get the moaning out of the way first. When we arrived they were obviously short staffed so check in took a bit longer than it should have and the member of staff on apologised for the delay. Rooms were reasonable size, comfortable and clean. Good price too. The Inn has character with the bar being a nice place to be. A selection of real ales that would put most hotels and pubs to shame. A good selection of wines and spirits too. Food was great, smoked haddock soufflé, beef cheeks and baked cheese cake were all well presented and delicious. No complaints. The breakfast menu was good and the usual full scottish was very good with quality ingredients. Staff were friendly, helpful and pleasant. Some interesting sights nearby for an apres breakfast constitutional. Great place for a night away.
