Lunch with friends; great food and fantastic value. Obviously very popular with locals, who popped in for take- aways, as well as meals.Basic decor / seating: a great place for a nice lunch but not the place for a fancy meal.Seating rather uncomfortable for anybody with mobility / disabilty issues, but staff very friendly and accomodating.Excellent for veggies; not so good for meat eaters! Highly recommended. Lovely place.

Booked this having looked at tripadvisor for recommendations and were not disappointed but mostly intruigued. The waiter gave us a low down of how to order and how much and we had really small portions of very tasty highly complex foods often with pourings of concentrated jus poured by the waiter. Not a place to fo if you’re hungry nor fussy but interesting and a new concept for us. Quite expensive but then probably heavy on man hours to produce.

A good selection of dinner items at a reasonable cost. I especially enjoyed the venison. The haggis for breakfast is also worth trying.

Fresh, locally sourced menu with a large influence of cuisine from around the globe. Excellent wine/beers and cocktails served until late. Comfortable, relaxed service with plenty of room for large groups. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Reviewed By Stephenley

Booked for early evening dinner during the festival with friends. The bar offers a good selection of drinks however I would recommend not to order Prosecco as they use small glasses that are filled to the brim. There is a good choice of food. All is us enjoyed our main courses. However the main problem is the service (or lack of) despite there being plenty of staff. Staff are not very attentive and we had to go to bar at one stage to ask to order drinks. I would go back if they could improve the level of service as the food was good.

We were expecting a good meal as our friends had been before but this was really special. From the exquisite amuse bouche, through beautifully fresh fish, tasty local meats and vegetables all blending together in such tasty and sometimes unusual combinations. The drinks were lovely too, particularly the wine recommended by the very knowledgeable staff. And the staff should get a mention, well informed, discreet with personality, a great mix.

Pleased to be sharing a more favourable review of here. My previous 2 visits have been disappointing due to extremely poor service however...on this latest visit, the staff redeemed themselves. The receptionist greeted us warmly on arrival and escorted us to the Bistro then a young waitress said we may have to wait around 10 mins before our order could be taken as she didnt know where the waitress staff were?!?! Eh? Anyway, a charming young lady soon appeared, cleaned our table, gave us menus and promptly returned with water for us. We gave her our order and didn't have to wait too long at all! (don't know what the younger lassie was talking about earlier, I recognised her from a previous visit where she made a mistake- she seems highly nervous) I had a bbq pulled pork toastie with trimmings which was nice and my partner had filo parcels filled with haggis which were amazing- I'm getting them next time ! When paying our bill, we asked if we could order coffee and have it upstairs in either the library or music room area, so we settled ourselves in a lovely spacious room overlooking the driveway and enjoyed our coffee which was served to us within a few minutes. Finishing our visit with a walk in the garden, I felt as if I had really enjoyed our visit here and hope to visit again.

Called in with my daughter for lunch and we had a great time. Food was fantastic and staff were great and chatted as they worked. Both staff serving weren't kids and they would have put the kids to shame, they were busy but we're lovely with little diners and they just worked together beautifully. The food was great and freshly cooked. We both had pasta which was divine and hot and bubbly which is my perfect meal. Definitely worth a visit. We loved it. X
