The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

For the price the fish was tiny dry and awful

The blacksmith forge is now closed Lidl who owned the lease terminated agreement with Witherspoon Lidl have expanded into what was the blacksmith forge leaving a much smaller area available for lease This has been taken up by a bar/ restaurant called Madison's

Yet another new set of owners! My BFF and I have been meeting here for decades and really miss when the cafe is closed! So happy that it's back and open each day till 5pm! It's very cozy, bright, clean and dogs are welcome! Chips and cheese is amazing, Macaroni I'm so sad to say was rotten - definitely not home made, I couldn't eat it but were happy to stick to chips, cake and tea ♥️

Decent little pub on the banks of the Forth and Newhaven Harbour. The pub does simple pub grub for a decent price. If the weather is nice you can sit out and have a beer looking across the harbour. For parents with young kids, there is a large soft play area so you can get a little peace and quiet.

A table of four, we each had a large traditional Scottish breakfast. Service from Mandy was excellent (well done Mandy) and food was first rate, all served on nicely warmed plates. We appreciated the efficient speed of service also. Well worth the visit for a nice breakfast

Lovely meal and friendly staff the pool room was a bonus will certainly be back lovely fire keeping the bar area warm lovely menu with a wide variety to choose from

This place goes from bad to worse. Service is at snails pace - the staff clearly wish they were somewhere ( anywhere) else. No urgency, no smiles - just awful. If any of these staff worked in any stand alone coffee shop they would be dismissed. If this coffee shop wasn’t attached to a garden centre it would have closed by now. All that said all the faults are entirely down to the local management. There is clearly inadequate training and inadequate supervision leading to what looks like a totally cheesed off work force. Just awful.

The meals are not the best Steaks were over cooked for med rare Tasted like they had All been microwaved or boiled in a bag couldn't eat it Steak and ale pie was dry Beer was cold though Would not go again

Breakfast is widely advertised as being available until 11.30am but should state subject to availability! I arrived at 10.55am Sunday morning looking forward to a full breakfast for myself and my husband. I waited in a queue for 15 mins only to be told “what’s left is in front of you and it will take too long to cook anymore, we’ve been busy” .I walked away in disgust. I did get the chance to speak to restaurant manager who was very apologetic , offered to get food cooked for us but the momentum had gone and wasn’t in the mood to be spoken to or served by the not so pleasant staff member ! If the staff were worth their salt someone should have alerted the queue that there wasn’t any breakfast left or should have notified kitchen staff more food was required. The restaurant certainly did not look busy nor the car park. When I say there was a queue I mean approximately 4 to 5 in front of me being served by a not so cheery staff member serving on her own until when I reached the hot food server another member of staff came out to help. I am a club member but will not be renewing my membership. If a business in this current economic climate can loose customers through rude staff and poor food quantity control then good luck to them. Four other customers behind me left the queue when they heard there was nothing left. It was the local May weekend, foresight should have prevailed and plenty breakfast items available. I understand food going to waste isn’t good either but surely if breakfast is being advertised until 11.30am then customers should be able to have it , even if it has to be cooked fresh! Gone are the days when the customer is king!

Arrived, for a coffee stop and browse, changed our mind when we seen the cafe, carpet was very dirty and stained, tables not clean, uninviting! Outside plant area, rundown to be honest, no sign of any staff, disappointing visit, such a shame.

Cold food not enough staff The staff making the coffees had to go to the till while other customers food went cold . The staff were amazing . Worked hard but too much work for them with the amount of customers there was . We did not eat or return the cold food because of the queues . I went a couple of weeks ago and same issue . I thought it may have been a one off but obviously not .

Very unhappy with dinner, dried out and none left. The seating were either ripped or had stains on them. And waited ages to be served, only to be told to get your own carvery.

Hotel has amazing location on Loch Lomond and for West Highliand Way. But the hotel itself seen better days and is a bit run down and dilapidated. All that could be forgiven. Less easy to shrug off was incredibly rude and belligerent bar/restaurant manager who had a real attitude problem and clearly never heard of customer service. Ludicrous argument on charging £2 for some Parmesan to go on an order of pasta. Salt and pepper were still free on visit. Great view but avoid staying or eating there if you can.

Sadly Dobbies Braehead cafe going downhill. Scones are now as dry as a board and appear to be cutting corners with quality every time! Asked for extra hot coffee, as often tepid….. clearly fell on deaf ears!

Cafe doesnt do toasties etc until 11.30 and only breakfast leftovers available. 2 very dry sausages and the bacon was so dry I had trouble swollowing it,however it did eventually go down with the help of my luke warm coffee. Cakes very over priced.On sitting down i had water dripping from the roof onto my clothes and moved seats. I did not complain as I had my young granddaughter with me. 20.79 down the drain. Wont be back.
