The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

9 of us staying next door at Premier Inn paid for breakfast . Scrambled eggs, never seen them so watery and near white in colour taste disgusting 😝. Fried eggs warm and rock hard. Sausages good bacon not great . Berry fruit lovely coffee OK. Not worth the £9.95 better off in Morrisons across the road. Evening meal worse service very poor chicken dry and uneatable left most of my food and so did others in my party.

No salad. I asked for salad.

Ordered ice cream on delivery, really good, the raspberry ripple is brilliant

We had the Diavola pizza, superb….beautifully risen crust , perfect topping …..just spicy enough. We shared a Cobb and Caesar Salad….crisp , fresh with additional hot smoked salmon….delicious.

We queued for 30 mins for a bowl of soup and cup of tea. Then waited another 30 mins for the soup to be ladled into a paper cup. See photos for what we got . They had clearly watered down the vegetable soup to eke it out. It was basically tepid water with a few bits of potato and leek floating around - and half filled a coffee cup. I paid £5 for the privilege - appalling. The tea was about £2 - with the cheapest teabag possible in a paper cup, so probably a profit of £1.95. And the crisps were £1.75 for a small bag! Complete rip-off. The rubbish was piled up everywhere, bins and trays were overflowing. And it was freezing, with the door propped open. The toilets were littered with loo roll on the floors. I appreciate there was a running race on, so there were many more people than usual - but they knew this months in advance and could have planned for it. Efficiency costs nothing and is just common sense. If you're expecting a busy day, have a load of sandwiches, rolls or paninis ready-made to go, or 'help yourself' soup.

I had praised this place previously, but that praise has been short lived, so won’t be returning until they know what they are doing. Ordered a classic burger and fries for my daughter…. my oh my what a disappointment, it was as thin as a saucer and charred to an inch of its sorry life, no cheese and a bun that looked as if it had been retrieved from someone else’s plate, and half a dozen chips. They took it back and it returned the exact same…. Shocking! Its gets better, I ordered the ramen, which I have done so many times. The plate was over flowing, too much water in the broth. When I told the server she said that’s how it comes… I said … no it doesn’t it should be 450 mls in the bowl. Don’t expect anything here that isn’t rushed, no quality control, just really poor, slovenly, couldn’t give a monkey’s food and service…. On Thursday we went down to the Commercial…. Now that was a burger let me tell you, thick juicy burger, cheese, gherkins, tomato, salsa mustard and lettuce a triump, plenty chips … can’t wait to go back next !

Thumbs up - it's back! (new owners Apr '25 must have changed name to the Courtyard Cafe) Tried this place again after taken over by new owners April '25 - I see they're open nights now too with proper pizza ovens for takeaways and expensive looking coffee machines - my large latte was best coffee have had in a while! Huge sausage rolls and steak-pies kind of like a more 'upmarket' Greggs, plus the restaurant seems to have been refurbed aswell. Staff v.friendly - previous staff in years gone by tried their best but were clearly scunnered with the way it was run in the past. Previous owner was always angry / cheeky, made 'mistakes' on the bill, and the food / service was disappointing to put it mildly(!) glad I've got another good place back now for good sit-in lunch and the occasional takeaway treat - went back to try their lunch, really friendly new owner guy and so went back for a pizza about 7pm - fresh and super tasty way better than some of the greasy chip-shops in Largs. Would def recommend. Will be back with the family next week for a sit-in meal :)

Lovely open restaurant, with plenty room between tables. We all had paninis/toasties which were hot but ok. But we had to pay for the panini, then extra for the fillings? Weird. Staff were ok, not overly friendly & welcoming though.

tried to get a bacon roll 1128 cut off time was 1130 she said the breakfasts are finished but overheard the woman on the till saying to a member of staff who inquired about are the breakfast fininished she said yes I usually shout that but couldn't be bothered today,very disappointed poor show .

Filthy Hotel. Shower head so diety that we couldn't even shower. Bathroom floor not swept and chair in room so dirty we couldn't sit on it

Wir waren im Rahmen einer Schottlandrundreise im September 2024 zum Glück nur für eine Nacht in diesem Hotel untergebracht. Von aussen sieht es nett und gepflegt aus. Auch der Empfang war sehr freundlich. Das war es dann aber auch. Das Gebäude ist so verwinkelt, dass wir und etliche andere Reisende auf der Suche nach unseren Zimmern länger über die Flure geirrt sind. Sämtliche Bodendielen, auch die im Zimmer über uns, knarzten bei jedem Schritt laut und deutlich. Das Waschbecken mit einem Hahn für warmes und einem Hahn für kaltes Wasser befand sich ausserhalb des winzigen Bades direkt im Zimmer. Was den Flachbildfernseher betrifft: Jeder PC würde sich schämen, wenn er mit so einem kleinen Monitor ausgestattet wäre. Was uns und etlichen anderen Gästen dann aber endgültig die Sprache verschlagen hat: In der Dusche hing an der Wand unmittelbar neben dem Duschkopf ein elektrischer Durchlauferhitzer, der aussen am Bad erst eingeschaltet werden musste,bevor man warmes Wasser bekam. Jedem deutschen Elektriker würden bei DEM Anblick die Haare senkrecht stehen.Etliche Mitreisende haben sicherheitshalber am Morgen aufs Duschen verzichtet. Das Abendessen war ok, das Frühstück hingegen äusserst dürftig.

It is with my upmost disappointment that if it weren’t for the price point of the items I would have thought I was in a Tesco cafe.

Roads End Cafe is a lifesaver at this time of the year, we were on the NC500 and fancied a bite to eat when we got to John o Groats. It is such a basic cafe but still serves hot toasties/sandwiches, soup and small cakes/scones. The lady that served us was lovely, so welcoming and willing to go the extra mile, she even recommended the haggis and cheese toastie which I couldn't turn down. Since it was so quiet, it was takeaway only but she let us sit in due to the gale force winds outside. I have to say the toasties are the best I have had in a while and not even that expensive despite the location, absolutely fantastic. It is a little gem if you're looking for something eat when you reach the most northernly point in Scotland!

Were there in mid-November, there was no one there except for us - it probably went very quickly for us contrary to the other reviews. The service was super nice and otherwise it's a nice location. The food was simple but tasty, there was nothing wrong with it. We would come again.

Great pizza, delicious biryani, and all the food was excellent! The staff at Chippy Junction were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
