The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

Broccoli Soup was watery and too salty. Cheese scones to accompany were unavailable at 1.00pm lunchtime. Bruschetta at £9.50 consisted of a very modest slice of toasted sourdough with some tomatoes and a small amount of mozzarella with a few salad leaves. Very poor value even for overpriced Edinburgh.

Oh dear. I’m a lifelong Wimpy fan, since I was a teenage schoolboy in Essex where there were (and still are) numerous Wimpy franchises. Many a happy Saturday brunch had in the Grays Wimpy, which was run until very recently by the same lovely family as it had been for decades. Forced to close by a sky high rent rise Anyway I digress. I’m in the area every so often, and love, love, love a wimpy. Halfpounder and chips, always. And in the Wimpy Dingwall it’s always been very nice. Not a busy store whenever I have visited, and a little dated. But clean, and friendly I called on on a Saturday recently and being earlier than usual, decided it was too early for a burger ( there I said it but still don’t really believe it) so I went for a breakfast: The Great Wimpy: 2 Breakfast sausages, 2 bacon slices, 2 fried eggs, Heinz® Baked Beans, griddled half tomato & a slice of toast Disappointed isn’t a word I use often. But I was with this. I don’t know what a “breakfast sausage” is, it must be a euphemism for a meatless sausage. Tasteless, textureless. The bacon had been griddled, some parts blackened and some parts undercooked. Two fried eggs, neither were runny…. The tomato half, beans and toast were ok as I would expect Usually a woman does the cooking here (I believe she is the owner) but today’s cook was a guy. I heard lots of pinging from microwaves I have no idea if the sausages are wimpy specification, or a substitute. I know they were awful. So I’d be surprised if they are wimpy approved. Fried eggs… difficult to cook them so the yolks are runny? No, not at all. I manage and I’m not employed in a catering environment. It certainly wasn’t because the place was busy, it wasn’t, with a max 8 guests in during the meal I forget how much this cost, it will have been around £10 of the King’s finest pounds. It was grim. The only saving graces were that the young girl who was waitressing was efficient, polite and lovely. And I could have a wee in their loo before leaving, since I had a relatively long trip ahead Will I go back? Possibly as I love a Wimpy Halfpounder (or double original quarter pounder cheese as it’s now know ) as I think the special sauce and brown bun make it something really unique. I’ll never ever entertain a breakfast in a Wimpy again

We had a last minute issue with our reception meal venue and contacted John at the boat restaurant. He was amazing, helped us outdo much. He went out of his way to decorate for our wedding meal reception, he accommodated our food choices at short notice and we are so grateful to him , everyone loved the meal, food was delicious , compliments to the chef. John gave us an are of restaurant so we had some privacy and the view was just spectacular . Thank you so much to John and the team at the boat restaurant. Our wedding day was made perfect after you put so much effort into helping us so we highly recommend this place 😊

In questa remota e incantevole regione della Scozia, sorge questo hotel, paradiso degli amanti della pesca. La struttura è bella e ben tenuta ma in camera c'è qualche piccolo dettaglio stonato (tipo le tende scolorite e vecchie). Il ristorante ha un menù di 3 portate a scelta, con piatti ricercati e di ottima fattura ed un servizio attento e formale. Colazione alla carta servita celermente. Il costo di oltre 200 euro a notte per una camera doppia in questa struttura è decisamente troppo alto.

This used to be a fairly bog-standard pub frequented by summer stag parties looking for nose-bag food. One to be avoided. Now a very friendly gastro-pub with nice staff and great service. Super location and dog-friendly. Now attracting families for food rather than stags for drinks. Nice.

McNasty’s?? Should be called McNicey’s!! First time here, first impressions excellent. Clean looking from outside, food reasonably priced and inviting. Bar staff are very friendly and attentive. Nothing is too much trouble. Instantly greeted by Laura at the bar with a very friendly hello love, how are you? and took my drinks order. I was instantly blown away by the service…not what I am used to at all. Even brought my drink to the table and suggested the best place to sit. Amazing atmosphere. As I am writing this, there is a male vocalist singing, what a voice! Bought him a pint and requested a Johnny Cash song, which he sang straightaway. Karaoke later (the reason I came here) and I have high expectations now. I am sure it will be a brilliant night. Aberdeen always is. I will certainly consider this my favourite pub so far. Yet to try the food here…that will be tomorrow! 😀😂 And yes…back for karaoke again! Just hope my voice holds up…..

Was there with a large family group and it was completely faultless. Staff were excellent and seen to all our needs and the food was delicious

Sadly disappointed again , first visit we went up to the roof terrace and sat and sat waiting to be served and ended up leaving. Today a group of us wanted to sit on the roof terrace and have a few drinks , we walked in and were greeted with a grunt and rudely pointed to the stairs to the roof top, sadly they do not offer cocktails but we had a lovely round of gin, when leaving the bill was tossed onto the bar followed by another grunt! The place could offer so much more especially with a hotel across the road with guests wanting to venture out of the hotel. Customer service goes a long way unfortunately it’s completely lacking here !

Been here twice on our break to Deeside. Staff really friendly and helpful. We had coffee and tea on our first visit with a slice of cracknel. Tea, Toasties and cracknel! (again) again on our second visit. Although we only had snacks which were very reasonably priced the food being delivered to other tables looked first class.

Delicious meal -very freshly cooked and all excellent quality.. Friendly landlord. child friendly and dog friendly. Beautiful children’s park very nearby. Wish we had found it earlier in our holiday!

Sadly, my reviews on food and disability /accessibility has been deleted by hotel on numerous occasions. Owner has needs to address but ignores to connect me.

Ci siamo capitati per caso, abbiamo chiesto se avevano posto e dopo poco ci siamo seduti. Il sevizio anche se mangi non prevede la tovaglietta. Servizio veloce e il cibo è nella media. Peccato che le birre ci sono arrivate in lattina..

Visited for a surprise birthday party. Buffet savouries and sweets were divine and plentiful. Amazingly good staff and a fantastic visit.
