A miserable day but we stopped off at this lovely wee restaurant/pub for lunchWe needed a gluten free for one of our party and were pleasantly surprised by the options available Staff were so helpful and service really goodJust enough time to have finished eating before plates were removed Food was great and reasonably priced wine If you can take tables towards the back as they were nearest the radiator Not that the restaurant was cold but it was a dreary day snd this was a cosy corner for us to sit and relax

We had lunch here after the Santa train trip. The menu was good with a nice choice of snacks, cakes and kids meals. It was ok, nothing to get too excited about but suited our requirements. The frustrating thing was that all the staff disappeared for about 15 minutes leaving just one young man on the till with a long queue struggling. Some potential customers walked out! What a shame!

Have to say the Mexican themed night was a mixed bag for us. The soft taco starters were all excellent, priced 5.50-6-50...sweet potato & feta, chicken & mango salsa & especially the super tender juicy beef, all lovely. Mains however, were just OK. Chicken Mole was pleasant enough. The beef buritto priced at £14 was, well, just a beef burrito. Nice flavours & we're not all about big portions but there was less steak in it than in the taco starter. Just an observation. Will still go back during day for lunch, excellent soups, coffee etc.

We'd failed to get a table on the Saturday night as it was packed, so booked ahead for Weds. Given a corner table in the bar area. Friendly staff. Ordered 2 Specials - duck and mushroom stroganoff. Both were lovely and good portions. No AF beer apart from Becks Bleurgh so gave that a miss but OH enjoyed his real ale. Booked for 2 nights later and asked for the same seat. That wasn't possible as a regular eats at that table every Fri, so we were given another close by. This time we ordered mushroom burrito and pork & herb sausage. Nice enough but burrito had far too much 'ratatouille'. Pleasant enough all around. It did feel cliquey (lots of bar gossip) but we were only there for the food so left once we'd finished.

Reviewed By O1994GOjohnk

We were at the Palace at Linlithgow and this restaurant was our choice for lunch. Extremely nice place, whose buildings were built in the 1600s. I believe it was a farm originally, but the restaurant and related buildings are beautiful, and the grounds are lovely.We had a chicken breast with mushroom gravy with chips and steamed vegetables. The vegetables were delightful. A mixture of green beans, pea pods, asparagus, and root vegetables steamed to a crisp, but tender result. The chips were crisp and lightly salted. The chicken was superb.Desert was some sort of whipped chocolate pie. Very light and not too sweet.Service was crisp and professional. The dining area is a reconstructed barn with a unique style. Rock walls and timbered roof. Great setting and great food.

Visited for breakfast this week for a catch up with a friend. Was met with a big beaming smile at 0830 by staff, always nice. Had a browse at the art works on the walls and the impressive range oven on the end wall, before my date arrived.Ordered the full breakfast, nice surprise when a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice arrived!The breakfast was brilliant, every element was high quality and nicely cooked. We were topped up with unlimited refills of coffee.All in all a brilliant experience, nice atmosphere, efficient friendly staff.Oh and a very reasonable price, I think about £17 for the both of us.

My auntie used to take me to Corvi’s when I was a kid. Was in the area earlier in the week and thought I’d pop down and have a look around. The minute I saw Corvi’s it was a must. Absolutely nothing has changed in the twenty five years since I was last there - including the taste and quality. If you’ve never been it’s a must try and it won’t be twenty five years before I’m back.Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review :-) see you again soon!

Three of us descended into Bo'ness following a visit to Linlithgow Palace, seeking a Forthside walk and a meal before visiting the famous Art Deco, Hippodrome cinema.Corbie Inn offered 'home cooked' dishes made from fresh ingredients and served hot with a smile by their helpful staff, and all washed down with real ale. All three of us had different dishes and declared them tasty and plentiful. They provide a decent expresso too. For honest good value pub meals Corbie Inn is excellent.
