The best restaurants serving British food in Clydesdale East South Lanarkshire South West Scotland

Sadly the Biggar Flavour bakery shop closed on 29 June 2019. The owners continue to operate "The Orchard" next door where some of their bakery products are still made available along with jams, preserves, etc. The main difference is that they no longer provide sandwiches, ready made meals or hot savoury items.

This small café/bistro operated varying limited hours and we were never entirely sure when it would be open. They also held bookable “themed” nights offering a taste of food from differing countries on occasion. Sadly having only recently discovered their very nice coffee and cake we followed this up with a lunch visit on 30 August 2024 only to discover of their plans to close the place permanently at the end of September 2024. It’s a pity since the food we had on this occasion was very good indeed. We both had chicken skewers Morrocan style, the tender juicy chicken pieces coated in a very tasty sauce which included fruit and all accompanied with a fresh salad with a lovely dressing. A very flavoursome dish overall. We followed this up with a giant decorative pot of tea for two served in china cups and some cake. My wife selected a “Lammington” - sponge cake coated in raspberry and coconut and served with double cream, whilst I had a portion of Blueberry & Lemon Tart with double cream. My wife was very happy with her choice and I found myself almost licking the plate despite it seems having been given 2 slices of the thin light pastry tart which was oozing with a delicious topping. Total cost was a reasonable £34. The owners in our experience were friendly and chatty and are moving on to other ventures based from their home. The place was busy at our lunch visit and there was a pleasant ambiance with satisfied customers enjoying their food and drink. Seems a pity that it won't be available in future. The single unisex toilet was very well maintained.

My friend made reservations for a late lunch for three of us during a weekday. Whilst the food was delicious it was a little pricey for what was served - especially given the small portion sizes. Overall the service was friendly, and we did happen to enjoy ourselves. From a personal perspective though, I would say this restaurant is catered more towards an older generation. The atmosphere is very quiet and "proper" - not the sort of place a group of friends can have their yearly catch up.

Had great lunch here few weeks ago. Amazing food and friendly service.

We found this by chance today. Lovely, friendly wee place. Food cooked fresh. Soup was amazing. Light bite for lunch great. Highly reccommend

Had a lovely meal here with my husband. I Had breaded chicken with mushroom sauce. My husband had haggis puff rolls to start then gnocchi following by plumb & apple crumble. Staff were lovely and service good. Will definitely return .

Popped in for a takeaway whilst working in the area nice food and good value for money pleasant staff

Stayed here for my son and daughter in laws wedding. Had a wonderful day, everything ran so smoothly with the help if the fantastic staff who could not do enough for us.

Excellent ambience (open fire) and atmosphere - good food options all prepared and presented nicely by friendly and attentive staff.

I really want to love Erringtons Barn as I love their cheese and I am a local but having had food there twice now I won’t be going back for anything other than a coffee. On the second visit on Monday I ordered Croque Madame. I didn’t see the price before ordering as the menus hadn’t been printed off. The waitress was an over explainer which was rather annoying. The Croque Madame was very dry with not enough sauce on top and an overcooked fried egg so nothing unctuous about it and nothing else on the plate. I reported this to the waitress who said that she would feed it back to the chef but I wasn’t offered anything else to compensate for my unsatisfactory plate of food.My friend had a small plate of cheese which was miniscule and eaten in 2 bites for £7. She had asked for some salad to be added to the plate (which she would have paid for) but the waitress said that she would have to have a salad from the menu. I bought some cheese and it was only when I got home that I realised that I had been charged £16 for the Croque Madame. The food is just not good enough and the portions aren’t large enough to charge these prices. The menu also isn’t broad enough to appeal to anyone who doesn’t like cheese. On the plus side the coffee that I had there is fairly good. All such a shame.

I stayed overnight and had dinner bed and breakfast. I chose it because it was in a pretty country village and was quiet. The people running the place were very friendly and the room was well appointed. Food was OK with excellent breakfast. Good car park. Reasonable price. I’d go there again.
