The best restaurants serving British food in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Excellent meal. We had 3 courses and everything was beautifully presented, great quality and very tasty. The blue steak was especially good. Staff were friendly and helpful when we made a special request about seating. Definitely recommended.

Both had the fish and chips. It came quickly and was nicely cooked. The cheesecake dessert was delicious. Had two glasses of wine which was reasonably priced. The service throughout was very friendly. Overall good value and a good bar meal. We will come back.

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.

It's pretty much style over substance and as has been said by others the food is an after thought and I'm sure the Instagramers love it, food is poor and staff disorganised the menu is a joke. Another biege food joint, in a region where some of the best fish in the world is landed. Only deep fried fish here.

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.

It's always a pleasant surprise to find a pub with a good menu using local ingredients! We ate well, the service was friendly. The pub has a large garden. This must be one of the best pubs for miles in any direction! My wife left her sunglasses behind, but Tim, the landlord, was super-helpful, finding them and posting them on. We will definitely go there again.

Excellent coffee and scone at a very reasonable price. Slightly let down by the toilet which needs upgrading , otherwise 5 stars.

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 .

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.

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

Called i one evening before going to theatre just for a drink. Only 2 or 3 others in the bar who clearly had too much of something and language was choice to say the least and went unchallenged by the staff on duty. I will not return.
