The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

A lovely restaurant with nice food and lovely helpful staff. A spacious restaurant with great views. On offer was fish and chips, macaroni cheese, steak and mushroom pie, beef and haggis olives.

We had booked a table in the restaurant but were set up in the 'Snug' instead as there was a large party in. We were happy with that as the Snug has a better atmosphere, though is a bit dated. Our food was good, the staff were welcoming and the service efficient.

I would give two stars for the food and one star for table etiquette. We were unimpressed when we sat down to a table setting of basic low-quality, stamped-out flatware with sharp edges. Three of us ordered meat (duck, pork and beef), the other fish. No alternative, appropriate knives were brought to suit the food, nor was the cutlery replaced after the starter. There were splotches of dried food debris on the underside of all the placemats, which apparently never gets wiped off when they are stacked. The food itself was okay, but portions were on the small side and overpriced for what it was, e.g. two slices of duck breast, 1" slice of sea bass, very little vegetable to accompany. The chicken liver parfait starter was good but came with only three small slices of toasted baguette and bread was £6 extra. There was an abundance of wait staff operating on high-speed settings. We had trouble understanding what kept so many staff on the run (literally) given the restaurant was not full and could have been disruptive were it a romantic dinner for two. We just watched the show. Overall, a four-star restaurant should pay more attention to detail, quality and cleanliness, if it wants to have a four-star reputation.

Staff were great and so friendly. £15 for two coffees and cakes was a bit much when Wetherspoons is down the street and half the price. We had been in there earlier and got unlimited coffees plus two desserts for £8 for an idea of price as my dad had an appointment we had to wait on in Dumbarton. The store itself is a disaster. I’ve never seen a Costa with actual holes in the ceiling from water damage and multiple stained spots where it’s leaking. The front signage of the store is also missing on one side with a tarp with COSTA branding covering about a third and exposed wood ply behind the rest. It looks really tatty and run down. Again top thanks to the staff on shift trying their best in a store falling down around them. You really need to look at the condition of the store whoever manages this branch.

Best soup I’ve ever had. The homemade soup here is incredible. I had the lentil and my friend had the mushroom and we both took another pot home with us! The breakfast rolls look lovely and the staff are so nice. Thanks and see you again!!

Lovely lunch staff were great even accommodated our doggy Daisy with some sausages..well worth the money thank you so much x

Staff seemed disinterested. Food was below average .whats with cheese on the menu and plastic rubber in the food, The coffee was straight oot o trough....worst fluid i have had in decades.

Good food. Just be prepared to wait a while. Ample portions. Pleasant service. It can get very busy so recommend you book as we did. Overall experience was enjoyable.

Called in on spec for alight lunch only to be told "it will be at least half an hour because we have a table of 10 and 4 . Really you can't cope with that? In any event all rather dingy and tired like too many of our Scottish Hotels.

Fui aquí con mi amiga y mi hija. Sólo otro cliente (alrededor de las 12 pm del viernes). Sin embargo, la comida era deliciosa y se sirve tostado y rápido servicio amable! ¡Muy impresionado! !

Excellent service I had macaroni which was the best I’ve tasted granddaughters had cheese burger which had to burgers in it tea was really good as well coffee machine was broken so no coffee staff where Brillant

Selección de comida justa, pequeñas raciones, no había mucha variedad para una comida ligera y bastante caro. Adjunto buena tienda de regalos

Fabo kebab love em👍Good craik and service with a smile. Almost as good as Spice Tandoori in Elgin😉 ROG

It's always a pleasant surprise to find a pub with a good menu using local ingredients! We ate well, the service was friendly. The pub has a large garden. This must be one of the best pubs for miles in any direction! My wife left her sunglasses behind, but Tim, the landlord, was super-helpful, finding them and posting them on. We will definitely go there again.
