The best restaurants serving British food in Mid Galloway Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Excellent meal and excellent value. Beautiful view from our table. Surrounded by books. Combine your visit with adjacent plant centre. Lunch and evening.

Friendly staff well cooked food, always busy

Deciding on a day out we drove 50 miles from home to IOW. The idea was to have lunch at the Steam Packet based soley on the advertised menu on their website that i'd read that morning. As a non meat eater the fish and vegetarian meals offered plentiful refreshing choice. On arrival we had drinks and asked for the menu. A vastly different menu arrived, I asked if the online one was for evening. The waitress replied ' oh that menu was ages ago, it was when we started and just put together to get people in' Well it certainly got us in but didn't deliver. I'm not alone in making considered choices where to dine out by way of an eatery 's online menu. I make my choice to dine there BECAUSE of their menu. The sad reality was an option of mac cheese, ubiquitous county wide as the veggie choice ( or should I say no choice if it's the only v option!) or fish and chips. Both meals eaten at home as a quick go to if i can't be bothered. Hardly ( to quote your page) an evolving menu is it? If you advertise fare to folk to bring them in, then could you serve it? I will travel for good menus, you have to in D and G but not for misinformation. If it had been described as a sample menu i'd have enquired on the phone. As a result we won't call for food again. I'll reward with patronage those establishments that offer what they advertise.

This is the perfect place to sit for a coffee and a cake while waiting for family browsing the bookshops of Wigtown - or for a pit stop if you are on a bookshop marathon yourself. The staff are friendly and helpful. The chairs and sofas are comfy. The coffee is spot on and the cakes…Oh. My. Word! I had the apple and cinnamon and my husband had the lemon and ginger. Both were so light and utterly delicious - I was told the owner bakes them all herself, and my goodness she is good at it!

I'm aware the house o'hill has just opened back up but our experience was as if we had just walked into faulty towers, there was a boss lady trying to take orders but didn't have a clue, a boss man that just wanted to stand at pizza counter and do nothing and a poor girl stuck on till not knowing how to work till and don't forget jack and Victor in the kitchen, there was 6 tables with people sitting and you thought there was 36 most meals came out late and wrong, also no alcohol sold people will wait for a meal if there drinking alcohol but not if there drinking coke, food was basic but good when we eventually got it, for the life of me I don't know what the problem was cause me and my wife could have served and cooked what was sitting on Saturday night ourselves with no help, I really hope they can turn this round

The cafe was at best half full but a very rude lady informed us she couldn't serve us - no explanation or apology. All very strange and incredibly poor customer service

Best haggis I ever ate. And the rest of the food was also very good. Cody bar and nice restaurant, Don’t know about the hotel because we didn’t stay here. I absolutely recommend to go here for drinks and dinner.

We have been here many times with our dogs. Friendly and good service and good everyday food. I had an excellent BLT toastie this week. I am a healthy eater so enjoyed that the bacon had little fat and there was plenty of salad.

Came here for my 25th and we had a great time, staff are lovely and gave us plenty of advice on fun things to do like seeing the deer. We had a great time and they also do a fabulous pizza, the bar is gorgeous too.

Very enjoyable meal. Had chicken strips and veg with side order of chips. Very tastey. Waitress very helpful and friendly. Restaurant very clean and tidy.

Enjoyed this place, a clean tidy spot with brill staff. Food good, at a reasonable price, loved the cakes good exhibition attached. All in all a really good visit.

What a lovely little find on a Sunday afternoon on Main Street We were visiting the area and looking for somewhere to eat So welcoming and friendly and beautiful home cooked food and very generous portions - could not fault and would highly recommend Do not walk pass you will be disappointed!

Irish invasion there last Sunday with our local Scottish cousins. Everything absolutely perfect. Highly recommend the ambiance, food and the service. Amy stole my heart- some brave and inspiring lady. Best of luck for the future Amy🙏🙏
