The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

I've been here for many times, had my graduation party here with my family and had regular parties with friends here as well. The staff are very nice and patient, food is really amazing！

Staying at the Hotel du Vin for four nights. We usually choose not to eat dinner in the hotel we are staying in but we arrived on a Sunday evening and we’re not sure what time we would arrive so thought it was the safe option to book at the hotel restaurant. The food choice and quality and service were all excellent, we were very happy to have decided to dine here and would not hesitate to do so again.

Even when busy the atmosphere is great here, quiet and relaxed at the 2 times we have visited which was between 7 and 9pm and 5-7pm. Food was really good on both occasions with a good selection and freshly cooked, Drinks also a good selection. Our server Lauren was brilliant, especially given how busy it was and how she made it look effortless, checking everyone's food was okay and attending to everyone's needs with ease and a smile.

Placed order at bar to disinterested staff member and went back to table, next thing doors opened up and we're left with cold wind blowing on us, we were told abruptly by waitress that she was told to open them. We then moved to another table and eventually our food was dumped on the table without a word. Avoid The Auld Brig in Irvine

We were in a group of 5 the food was good everyone enjoyed it all had drinks and the price wes decent

One of the best Wetherspoons outlets I have visited. Even although I have only visited a handful of times not being from Edinburgh but Glasgow.... We always visit when through for the day or going to the theatre. A pub soaked in history (as they all are) but the staff are tremendous and although service industry is tedious at best they all seem to enjoy it and make it worth their own while and for the customers too. Brilliantly placed within Leith walk and the shopping centre and more recently a tram stop next door. The food is always 10/10 and the drinks are great too.... With some of the best prices around. Such a shame this place closes it's doors for the last time on Sunday 3rd of November.... Gone but not forgotten, never forgotten! 👍

Nice pub for a quiet drink and a bite to eat. Food is okay for the price and the drinks are cheap.

This evening I took my elderly parents my daughter and grand baby for dinner , I have been going a few weeks in a row with no issues till today, while awaiting table to get cleared my mum tried to signal to a waitress to see if she could clear table she avoided by going round another gentleman so the gentleman tapped her as she passed as he had saw my mother signal to her which she couldn’t have missed her reply to the gentleman was I heard her yes we were aware but you chose to walk past instead of a smile or reassure that your busy someone would get to us however another waitress came over and cleared the table and the young lad wiped it , my daughter ordered our food through the app we got our food mums macaroni needed a reheat and I was given no cutlery none of us had our drinks so I thought I’ll ask for cutlery when they bring our drinks dad was finished his dinner I’m still waiting mum had still to get hers heated so I went up and said to manager John who sent someone with a fork and he brought the drinks saying the girl didn’t bring the drinks cos the people at the table were being abusive to her not only were we shocked to hear this my daughters answer was we ordered through your app all the staff including the female manager was lovely the young boy was lovely and the waitress in the black and white dress was lovely but the tall slim girl in the dark needs to be trained in working with the public to go and lie saying the people at the table were very rude to her calling her a cow is disgusting if that were the case we should have been asked to leave this is the reason we were given to why we didn’t get our drinks !! Not good enough if she felt there was an issue easy solution get someone else to bring them like they did the manager John so dads meal was finished mine was cold and eventually got cutlery then mums had to be heated so what was meant to be a nice wee treat turned into a decision of we will not be back disgusted at the whole situation treated like that let me down terribly not to mention my mum and dad in their mid 80,s belong told that the girl had accused our table of abuse c as my daughter said even if that were the case it’s not right holding back our drinks till we had to go chase them up spoiled our night so all down to the tall slim waitress dressed all in black get people skills and hope she has a better day to treat her customers

Had a nice time at spoons in hawick today. Would like to mention Jamie as he is always chatting with the customers and good on a bingo night. Service from the bar was good tonight while I was in and the food was nice with a quick delivery. Alex rooney in the kitchen is great ( he is my brother so possibly biased) but food is always tasty and quickly made when he is on shift.

Such a great location but let down by terrible food, sloppy service w noisy buzzers and takeaway packaging even when sitting on the terrace. Pancakes were tough as nails after 5 mins ( shop bought? Reheated). Buzzers summoning u to collect order ruined atmosphere. Don't bother u less they get new management

Menu and food was awful and very overpriced

If you want your food on a Saturday night please place your order on the Wednesday before. Slower than a week in jail .

Reopened in March 2025 - KARAOKE NO LONGER EXIST

A really friendly Pub. Bar staff great. Also price of drink good with some really good offers. The best update I can give is NOTHING has changed thankfully. Long may this continue. Cheers

The brie and cranberry toastie was delicious.
