The best restaurants serving British food in Blantyre South Lanarkshire South West Scotland

Sad to be writing this as usually go to Hamilton restaurant which is fab but was fully booked. Arrived and was told table hasn’t been booked. Showed them my email and after some confusion they found us a table (no apology). Food was absolutely terrible. Wrong order for main resulting in long wait for my mother in law. We had all nearly finished by the time she received her correct order. Potato skins were awful, salmon main was a disgrace, and chicken dishes were overcooked. Not up to usual standards.

Sadly this place has gone downhill in my opinion, I used to visit quite often but on my last visit we had to ask if it was ok to sit at a table although there were free tables, you are supposed to wait to be seated but stood for ages waiting . Service was extremely slow and items I asked for ie sauces , we never got. The waitress was on her phone behind the counter. Tea cups were badly stained and the tea pot was in need of being put through the dishwasher. Lots of food on the menu not available even though it was 2.30pm and the meal my child had was very overcooked. A very disappointing visit.

Great food and good service. Lasagna and Carbonara were excellent but let down by Garlic Bread (cold). Cajun Chicken, Gammon and Burger all very good. Service was pleasant but attracting attention for more drinks was challenging.
