The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

Really gorgeous bar and restaurant with a lovely club area upstairs. We had a cocktail making class with Euan/Ewan (sorry I don't know the spelling!). He was a great teacher, good fun and very accommodating, which just added to the experience for our friend's hen party! So big shout out to him. Thank you for a great time, we will definitely be back.

Avoid this place . Poorly cooked frozen fish and staff who see you as sn inconvenience. They add a 10% service charge and offer rubbish service.

Met a friend there that I had not seen in years. Booked ahead and got a window seat, what a view. Very welcoming attentive staff. We chose the Sunday Roasts, my friend had the beef and I had the pork. Nicely presented and tasty, beef lovely but the pork had too much fat on it for my liking. We had sticky toffee pudding for sweet and it was lovely. Drinks wise I had an Apple Virgin Mojito which was totally tasteless and full of crushed ice so I would not recommend, waste of money. Service charge added to bill which I had no problem with as the staff were great. It was good to be in a restaurant with decent music. So all in all happy with the visit apart from the rubbish mocktail!

Booked for lunch declared ,shellfish allergy, was told. That they could not guarantee cross contamination asked how serious the allergy was ,I have an episode pen. Was told that someone should have contacted me about it ,they did not, waste of a journey and paying for parking. Will not be back. If you have any allergies avoid this place.

I've checked into the premier inn for 3 nights to find out the beefeater is closed for food and drink because all the staff have walked out due to soon be opening there own in house Thyme restaurant so there is only staff there in the morning to cook breakfast....yet nothing is on the website about it being closed !!!! I would of booked into another hotel if I had know 🙈🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I had fish and chips husband had steak pice and chips very friendly people really good towards disabled people will be back

Very disappointing, low quality ingredients and plated up with no imagination. Prices are average for what was on offer, but overpriced for what was presented.

Walked all the way along from the rail bridge end looking for a place for coffee and glad we chose Orocco Pier. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, service was good, view out over the Forth was excellent and the toilets were very good. Often places let themselves down by neglecting the toilets. All in all, very happy to have dropped in.

The pub is aesthetically pleasing, down to the menu and what it attempts to serve you. The portions are ludicrously expensive (£24 for a fish and chips), although it is quite large. There is clearly a very high turnover of staff, as it was like watching chickens dance. No one knew what they were doing or seemed to have the ability to ask what was going on. I don’t blame the waiters for the terrible service, I think it’s the manager’s fault. We had items missing, were charged the same price for a small as well as a large drink, no knowledge of intolerances from our server, huge delays in serving, no active effort to bring us the bill or take orders. If the management don’t become more approachable to their staff, or provide adequate training, they will continue to have a high turnover, the reputation will continue to go down, and this place will go into the ground. If you’re reading this and thinking about applying for a job here, think twice.

Donna was our server and she was brilliant very attentive and happy to help with anything. Will definitely return and hopefully get Donna as our waitress again.

Good city centre location for food and drinks. Had the steak and sausage pie which was nice but not amazing. No sausage in it but I was fine with just the steak! Overload of peas on the plate. Everyone else had mac n cheese in my group which they all said was good. Service was patchy- still waiting on the vinegar for my chips. Great pub for drinks but wouldn’t rush back- just so so for me.

I had some time to kill and was hungry, so I decided to eat here. First of all, the self-ordering system didn’t work. When I went to the desk where the bartender was standing, he said that the chef was on a break and would be back in 30 minutes. So, I waited, but nothing happened. The chef was basically just standing at the bar, talking on the phone, and occasionally doing some cleaning during that time. After about 45 minutes, the bartender and chef took all the menus from the tables without saying anything. There were also a couple of other people who had been waiting for quite a while. After an hour, I went to ask if the chef was ready to cook. The bartender looked at the chef, who was standing near him, and he just shook his head. So, they made us wait and didn’t even bother to say that no food would be served anymore! Very unprofessional and ignorant staff.

Went here for my breakfast whilst staying at the adjacent Premier Inn. Breakfast was self service. Only took scrambled egg from the cooked buffet which was rather solid and lukewarm. Staff rather disinterested in customers.

As usual, food was excellent and staff very friendly. Great value for money and a large menu. Clean and well laid out restaurant. Would highly recommend.

I ate at the restaurant on 2 separate nights, on both nights my main meal was not good. The others present had very good meals however the food that I received was very substandard. The first occasion I had chicken stuffed with haggis, the chicken was dry and over cooked. On the second occasion I had Pasta Carbonara, the pasta was dry, overcooked and inedible. The sauce was tasteless and congealed. As I said my fellow diners really enjoyed there meals, however my experience was not good.
