Absolutely gorgeous place, lovely staff and fantastic food will be back. My partner was very impressed with the steak pie said it was the best he had tasted

We had a great experience, Service was fast and efficient, Staff very friendly during serving, Cocktails were lovely and value for money given the size of glasses they were served in. Food was lovely, 4 x starters & 4 x mains and all were lovely, hot, well cooked and decent size portions. Very reasonably priced. My only issue I would say we experienced, was we booked as a table of 5 and in email states we are entitled to 2hours for our table, unfortunately someone didn’t make it on the evening, however we where never told that this would alter our time to 1hr 30mins due to becoming a table of 4. However this would have been unknown to anyone when further bookings were taking for the evening in advance. Around 7:30/7:35 staff started wondering passed and looking too see if we where finished and at 7:45 we noticed another family standing around waiting for a table when we then got asked if we would like our bill. It almost felt like we were being rushed off our table to give it to the family who was waiting to be seated. However as our booking was originally for 5 and had all 5 of us turned our booking confirmation states we had our table till 8pm so don’t understand why a family was waiting for it at 7:45 anyway and we where made to feel rushed out. If staff had looked at our booking they would see that our booking was for 5ppl even though only 4 turned up. Or if staff had just came over and politely said could we finish up drinks as they needed the table (despite us still have time onit) we would happily have finished our drinks quicker and left. It was a lovely evening and we would definitely go back as food ect was lovely. However I think staff have to be mindful of seating, booking and maybe the way they act of customers are picking up on certain behaviours when staff feel like they should be leaving.

The menu was a celebration of Scotland’s finest ingredients, showcasing local produce and age-old recipes with a contemporary twist. I started with the Cullen skink, a velvety smoked haddock soup that was both comforting and rich in flavour. For the main courses, we had the seafood stew and the venison meatpie; both were excellent. For dessert, the warm orange cake was a delightful finale. It was a true taste of Scottish heritage. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable; their passion for Scottish cuisine shone through every interaction. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience authentic Scottish flavours with a touch of modern flair.

The butchershop is an absolute gem. It's my go to place for all business meetings and birthdays but generally I like to dine here atleast once a fortnight. The foot is spectacular the steak is as good as I have ever had anywhere on gods green earth and the wine selection is delicious. The staff are superb and the portions are very filling but of the highest quality it's my favourite restaurant by a country mile. I highly recommend it and I always buy vouchers for friends who have never been before there feedback every time matches my expectations

From the moment we arrived, we were made very welcome. The service was exceptionally friendly. We had a delicious meal in the restaurant but then moved outside for drinks because the weather was so good and the views from the beer garden are spectacular! We’ll be back soon!
