The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

We came ashore off the Jewel of the Seas and the captain onboard had said that we must try fish and chips in Shetlands and there were several good ones. So we selected here. There was a staff member female about 20 and she was rude to customers and a male in his late 50/60s who was maybe the owner and he screamed at people not to stand in the doorway and it was belting with rain. Coming from Australia we were shocked at how greasy it was as well as the demeaned of the staff who seemed overwhelmed - whereas they should have been happy and grateful for such a thriving business opportunity. My advise is sell and chase your dreams elsewhere.

We found this place by chance and it was quiet outside, on a nice sunny day; there were five of us (four adults and one child), and were given a table near the pizza oven part of the external court. The staff were good with us and the food was also well made, and the waiting was not too long. We had a lovely experience and would be very happy to return.

Stood at the entrance to be seated, table for two, told thsts ok- girl quickly walks away without explaining follow me, comes back to explain this, proceed to follow. When questioning items on the menu, server seemed uninformed and not trained. Ordered and served quickly. This place is nice enough but the staff all seem to be not trained and doing a part time summer job rather being served or greeted by someone who has worked in the industry long enough to have simple hospitality etiquette or training.

Lovely lunch for four served by delightful staff. We really enjoyed our meal and have booked for Christmas. Highly recommended!

New chef has a wonderful talent and the team that work in this hotel are great also views too die for wonderful bedrooms great drinks list

After poor experiences in Oban and Fort William this place restored our faith in a Scottish breakfast and hospitality. Great service, even better breakfast made with quality ingredients.

Called in for lunch but was quickly told hot drinks and cake only. Was told they close at 2.45 even though the sign on the door says 3. At 2.43 the door was snibbed, to ensure no one else came in. Coffee was meh.....cakes were delicious. Service was dire and delivered by unwelcoming staff, albeit locals seemed to garner a smile from the head honcho. If you don't mind an extremely poor welcome and service, head here. Reading the previous reviews, it would appear this business doesn't care about negative reviews.

Friendly, warm atmosphere and very well cooked breakfast. Very quick service. Comfortable seating. Altogether pleasant experience.

Fantastic traditional food with staff who enjoyed engaging with the customers . Excellent dining experience.. 10/10

We came here, after a flight from London, for a meal. They told us they didn't serve food, even though I googled food nearby and it popped up. We went to Tesco express down the street and got sandwiches instead. They were rude and the atmosphere was unwelcoming!

The food has always been great. Perfect portion size & crispy batter. My faves are the fritters & single fish. Very friendly & polite delivery guy. Highly recommended.

The hotel is an experience. The food is wonderful the beds comfortable and the cosy. Great place to stay for visits to the island. Looking forward to a visit in the summer. PLEASE finish the residents lounge.

Wat problemen gehad met reservatie. We hadden gebeld en ze zeiden dat het restaurant volledig volzet was, maar online bleek dat niet het geval. Ook als we toekwamen, hebben we het eerste halfuur helemaal alleen gezeten en toen we weggingen, was het restaurant maar half gevuld. Mindere start, maar het eten was verrukkelijk en van topkwaliteit. Klasse zaak. Het is prijzig en dat mag als je zo’n gastronomisch eten serveert, maar voor dat geld verwacht je wel dat de porties groter zijn. De voorgerechten en sommige hoofdgerechten waren echt klein.

We visited last night as a big group, 8 adults and 8 children. From when we booked the service was excellent, prompt, friendly replies and we preordered with ease. We arrived and were seated quickly and drinks orders taken. Our waiter was exceptional, nothing was a hassle and he was brilliant with the kids. The food came quickly and again I would say was fantastic. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the experience overall was excellent. I would 100% return and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

We came here for dinner on a Saturday night. The service was friendly but the food was frankly poor. I ordered a sirloin steak "rare to medium rare" and it came seriously well done. It was accompanied with peas that were clearly poured out of a frozen peas bag and cooked without salt, butter or onions. My companions had fish that was clearly also frozen. Seriously disappointing that so little care was given to this meal.
