The best restaurants serving British food in Lowlands

Nice place to go for drinks and a bite to eat. We visited a few times while staying in Stranraer. The service was good and the staff friendly.

We had a lovely dinner here. the food was very good and the staff were very friendly and chatty. It is a lovely restaurant and well furnished. They were very busy with a function but they did warn us at the beginning and the wait wasn't too bad.

The food was absolutely incredible and the staff were really lovely, well done to them all!

Thank you to all the staff, especially,Steven, for making my birthday a really great day. Haven't eaten the cake yet, but will do so later with more coffee.

What a fantastic weekend we have just experienced at the Buccleuch Hotel. We went for the race package 2 night stay. It was so we'll organized and we had a fantastic time at Kelso races. The hotel food was outstanding. All staff were amazing as were the locals. A special mention has to be given to Val who organised everything. And Beth who looked after us so well in the morning and evening with our food orders and service from her was superb. We have booked for next year already. Big thanks. Alan Reid

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🙏🙏

Great pub with a good selection of beer and scotch. Very friendly staff. As it is at the end of the Pennine Way and is on Cuthberts Way, it is very friendly to walkers and outdoor types in general. The food is good solid pub food.

We make a special visit from Edinburgh to this Restaurant 5/6 times per year, the food is very good although expensive. I ordered and paid for Fish & Chips and Greek Salad with Keish ? for my Wife, with our drinks.£32.00 The young Man came to our Table to advise there was no Keish ? left. My Wife re-selected Greek Salad with Prawns & a portion of chips I was asked to go to the Counter with the Young Man to adjust the order and was asked to pay 95p difference between the cost of the Prawns against the cost of the Keish ? which I did The food was delivered to our table my Fish & Chips arriving first, my Wife advised that I start my meal while it was hot. My Wife's meal arrived and She was enjoying the Greek Salad but there was no Prawns. I was asked to go to the counter to pay for Prawns which had been omitted, I refused and my Wife had some of the salad, the meal was spoiled for her. No Prawns were offered. This spoiled our visit & our day out! She Managed to spend a further £35. in their shop. No more visits to this venue, complaint very badly handled.

We had dinner here 2 nights on the trot while staying on the park The food is fantastic and excellent value for money Staff were brilliant Best steak pie I've had in a long time😊

I was very disappointed buy the service and over expensive, and the cafe needs a good clean and I won’t be back ether as they don’t treat male customers as they should.

The best Sunday lunch I've ever had. Delicious, and amazing roast beef. Great food hall, garden centre and gift shops too.

One of the family said the Latte was one of the best they had had. It was a good size too. Reasonably good sized menu for lunchtime. Cakes and scones looked great but we chose somewhere else for cake. The coronation chicken jacket potato, £8, tasted good but not what we are used to for coronation chicken. Unfortunately some of the chicken was a bit tough but my knashers never give up. A bit more of the sauce would be nice too. This place is cash only so be aware before you turn up. I never carry cash so it worked to my advantage, the missus had to pay. I would rate this place 3.5 stars on this visit but I think we were just unlucky.

Oh dear! This used to be a lovely place to eat. The current management leaves a lot to be desired. Staffing all very amateurish. Several items missing from the menu because "they were waiting for deliveries." Couldn't even remember to bring the requested water to table. Food perfectly acceptable but nothing very exciting although still relatively expensive. I notice that the accompanying photos on this site are from the days of previous ownership. Nothing like as cosy now. Not in a hurry to revisit.

Gone downhill over last 2 to3 years Used to use regularly but no more. Had to wipe our seats clean, should have walked out then. Food more pub standard microwaved fare. Unfortunately prices do not relect reality.
