The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

Been coming here for the last 25 years.... at the start 5/5 for food and for a great Saturday night out. Weekdays had the occasional tribute act or spiritualist night. The P!nk act was out of this world. Changes have made recently(since Paul left) over the last few weeks. The food menu has become simplified. Gone are the amazing meals that clearly were made with love and attention to detail. The choices now are very much like wetherspoons, you can probably hear the microwave ping. Gone are the durty fries and the easier to make chips and curry sauce or chips and cheese. The lounge bar is great if you are a bloke wanting a pint of tennants whilst sky sports plays in the background. The best thing about the place is the pub quiz. Hosted by Mac (very funny) usually won by Brian, Homer and Co.

We have visited this establishment regularly, now called Carriages But on 2 recent visitss were very disappointed. We had dinner, nothing exciting but one of us had a pasta dish and requested parmisan, the waiter said he would get it, some 10minutes later no parmisan, we repeated the request another 5 minutes and still nothing, the waitress said sorry did not have any when we were paying the bill Surely if you sre serving pasta you should have parmisan. The next lunch we popped in with 2 grandchildren for something small to eat , but were informed could not do food as not booked, there were plenty of empty tables

He estado aquí unas cuantas veces y aún el servicio podría ser mejor. Hay un montón de aparcamiento gratuito exterior. Zona de bar tiene TV y plenry asientos. El restaurante tiene un invernadero. El personal es amable, pero necesitan ser más profesionales. El menú es variado y se pueden conseguir medias raciones. Los precios son promedio. Podrían mejorar y creo que traer más clientes.

When asked if the food was vegetarian-friendly, we were told it was fried in vegetable oil, but a further question revealed everything was fried in the same place, no separate frying sections. Majorly disappointed, especially as the online menu is apparently severely outdated and advertises vegetarian options that no longer exist, or may have never existed in the first place.

Went here for a lunch. The cafe has a pleasant aspect but lacks ambiance, in fact is more like a works canteen. The food is basic. I had soup and a sandwich which were basic in ingredients and presentation. Didn’t enjoy them. You also have to pay a minimum of £3 to park in order to eat there. No refunds given if you eat in the cafe.

We ate here before the Lion King with the VIP Ambassador Lounge deal and it was all very good . I had read some of the negative reviews and was a bit wary after booking but it was a really nice experience. The food was fine , we had chicken skewers and soup and burgers and there was no complaints , but the service was excellent . The girls who served us were efficient and very friendly. They took us up to the lounge and again we had friendly service . All made for a great night , well done

Markets itself as a as a fairly well to do venue however it very much is not. We were a group of 11 for my fathers birthday. We had to order in advance which I imagined should have allowed for a smooth fast service, it wasn’t even close. The mains for whatever reason started coming out with the starters, we sent the mains back. Starters were mediocre. Mains arrived 50 minutes later having obviously sat under the hot lamps of the kitchen pass for the duration so were very much dry. When raised with the server they said they would report it to the kitchen… nothing was done. What was edible was eaten and we waited another 50 minutes for desserts which were also mediocre. We were in the restaurant for 2.5 hrs which is an obscene amount of time for a 3 course meal never mind one that’s be en ordered in advance. The price of the dishes was at the very high end for what they were. It wasn’t busy at all there were around 15 other customers soon no idea what took so long. The place lacks atmosphere. The decor is naff and the choice of furniture is poor for a restaurant, getting in and out of the chairs around the table is difficult and the servers a forced to either lean over you or hand you the plates. The place could do so much better.

Amazing location just to the side of the A75 near Castle Douglas. Perfect spot to take a breath, enjoy the view and also the good coffee and flapjack that they serve. A great little find.

Took a rive down thought it was a nice night for the newly hour drive down. Cue system was good had food in around 10 minutes. Chips were nice but sauce and salt was very limited that they had put on the food. Unfortunately the macoroni cheese was not nice. It dont not resemble any macoroni cheese have had before. There was no sauce to it pasta shell's almost dry. No cheese threw it or over the top. There was also a strange taste to the dish. The dish definitely did not taste anything like cheese. I would not order this again.

Two of us visited for lunch on a weekend. We had 2 standard sandwiches and & 4 coffees. When I called at the till to pay (having requested it twice whilst at the table and been ignored) the bill was £47. I immediately said “that can’t be correct”. A very snippy response that it was absolutely correct as everyone else had paid and it was the only bill left. Clearly my bill had been given to someone else who hadn't queried it. I queried it again and the response was even more aggressive. I paid and left. I will never return to any Calders venue or garden centre and neither will a significant number of friends and family who are now aware. When your staff are more interested in their nails/make up/iPhones this is how they treat customers.

Puede ser un truco poquito de encontrar pero merece la pena. La comida y las bebidas a un precio razonable y hay también un menú de cócteles! El personal es eficiente y agradable. Es lo suficientemente tranquilo para conversar y tiene un ambiente acogedor. Gran selección de pasteles!

Yo y otros 3 tuvimos una fantástica estancia de 1 noche con desayuno incluido. La habitación estaba limpia, fresca y espaciosa, las camas eran extremadamente cómodas y la ducha era potente. ¡No tienes que pedir un secador de pelo! WiFi funcionó bien y en más de un dispositivo de forma gratuita. El desayuno era caliente y fresco con muchas opciones y los vales de café costa gratis fueron muy bienvenidos. El personal era amable y servicial, y recomendaría encarecidamente este lugar y esperamos volver.

I bought a too good to go bag here, supposedly £13 worth of food. The whole bag was inedible. It was truly disgusting and I'm not a fussy eater. I put the whole lot in the bin after trying a bite of each. It was disgusting. Please don't spend your money on food here. It looks and certainly tastes nothing like the pictures. There was karaoke on when I was in which had the worst "singer" I had ever experienced.

Visited here twice within a week - first visit was on a Friday night as two couples for drinks after a meal elsewhere. The cocktail menu is huge and caters to just about every taste there is. We tried a fair few between us and loved every one of them. It was a Friday night and there was a total of about 12 customers including us 4 which was a surprise. A week later I went with a group of girlfriends for lunch and drinks. I have to say the service from the girl waiting on us was second to none. She really was customer focused snv I hope her bosses see that. The food was amazing - I had a chicken burger and it was delicious. It was a Friday afternoon and only a handful of other customers were in. People really need to use their local venues as it's unclear how they can keep running with few customers and it would be a real shame as this place is a bit of gem right in the city centre.
