The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

A self serve café within the grounds of Stirling Castle, offering takeaway or sit-in opportunities. There are plenty of snack options, including a Kid’s Box at £6 which provides a choice of sandwiches, a treat, a piece of fruit and a drink. There are plenty of sandwiches and paninis for adults too and several hot dishes to choose from on display. In our experience there were plenty of staff on duty and the constant queue at the time was kept moving fairly quickly. We found a table in an area with vaulted ceilings, reminiscent of the Castle Kitchens, which added to the ambiance. The grandchildren had Kid’s Boxes, my wife and I had paninis which had tasty fillings, and we also had Americano coffees. The coffee was good enough to warrant a second cup for my wife and I along with a slice of lemon drizzle cake and a scone with cream and jam. All the food and drinks were good and the overall cost was just under £49 allowing for 10% discount as members of Historic Scotland. Toilets were clean but very compact for the size of the premises.

Nice friendly place for a good no frills drink at a reasonable price. Have visited a few times and constantly made to feel welcome

Welcoming hosts and staff, great base to explore the area. Good food and drink offerings, cater well for allergens. Room was homely and comfortable. Would recommend!

We took a group of 10 German visitors plus friends for the £10 lunch deal. We had given our menu choices in advance, but with such a wide range of choices it took a while to work out who had ordered what. However, it got sorted, the sandwiches were excellent and everyone was very satisfied with their choice. The staff was attentive and, since we were given the dining area all to ourselves, the atmosphere was quite intimate.

Visited here last week after being onholiday at Sandylands, the girls in reception recommended it ….Great food , staff very friendly would definitely come back on our next visit

Excellent food and fantastic customer service. Highly recommend

Coffee tasted like water. Was really disappointing

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat whilst walking the coastal path from Shell Bay. Was good to find this cosy and warm pub on what was a miserable day weather wise. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and the soup and toasties were really tasty. Toilets were clean.

Thank you to the ladies in motherwell asda cafe. I ordered 2 kids meals for £1 each to take away, staff could not have been more helpful, polite and pleasant. Thank you all. My grandchildren loved their meals

We ere advised by a member that this golf club is open to visitors. we had a great lunch of home made soup and sandwich, both were tasty and the cost wasn't breaking the bank. would cerainly recommend this club

The staff are clearly doing their best but the whole experience was pretty bad. We were sat at a table immediately adjacent to the kids play area with only a string net barrier between us and the ferral screamers seemingly left unattended. Each new scream inches away from our ears was jarring to say the least. After five minutes we asked to be moved to another table. Even though the were three unoccupied tables within sight of ours we were told we couldn't be moved. As we were there with my elderly father we decided not to go elsewhere and try to put up with the noise. The scampi was alright but that's only because the cooks have to open a packet of frozen scampi and put them in the deep fat frier. The chicken tikka was more like spicy soup than curry. The mac and cheese looked and tasted closer to cement and aggregate but it also had large lumps of something brown in among the undercooked pasta. The staff did their best to make good but as there were so few staff they didn't stand a chance on a busy Saturday afternoon. It's not fair to staff or customers to have so few people running a busy family restaurant.

Have to say I throughly enjoy the visit this time. It has been years since I was last there

Great food and friendly service. We all enjoyed our food and would highly recommend if visiting the area and looking for a relaxed friendly atmosphere with good food.

We only had a few drinks there but the cocktails and the selection of whiskeys were amazing. On a Tuesday early evening it was quiet, not too noisy, very spacious!

Quirky decor. Excellent beer and service.
