    Went on a freezing cold January lunchtime. The restaurant was lovely and warm so was the atmosphere and the staff were friendly and welcoming, The food was incredible everything was homemade and perfectly cooked. We had both pies, Steak & haggis and the Chicken and mushroom and both were delicious. The desserts were just as delicious and all homemade. The staff were lovely, friendly and professional throughout and the toilets were immaculate. I can’t wait for my next visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We were there as a part of 6 to celebrate a family birthday and had a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding and the service was great too. The beef tartare, parsnip veloute and smoked salmon were all amazing as starters, as were the sirloin and pork for main course. Everyone was impressed with their meals - thank you for making the occasion special.

    Very pleasant visit, the service was a little slow, understandable as they were busy for lunch on New Year's Day, however the service was good, polite and helpful. Good food, good drinks, a nice ambience and not too noisy. Overall a 5* experience.
