Glenskirlie House Restaurant

Reviewed By robert l

Exceptional staff, service and delicious food. Special family dinner celebrating an 80th and 50th was made all the more special by the little touches like a personalised headed menu to the birthday ladies and the plates for their Deserts with happy 80/50th written in chocolate sauce. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and the main waiter serving us (wish I had taken his name ....he wore black glasses) was a credit to the hotel, very patient, professional and nothing was too much trouble for any of the team. I would highly recommend the Glenskirlie to anyone. Well done your team are a credit to you. We will be back!!

The Coachman Hotel & Restaurant

Reviewed By Adrian D - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Came here to meet up with a friend who was staying nearby. It was my first visit. We sat in the lounge and so I can only comment on that as I believe that there other bars in the hotel. As a pub it's ok but I wouldn't be rushing back. The interior is quite modern and open plan and as a result feels quite cold and functional. It doesn't have any particular character or charm to mark it out from other similar establishments. The draft selection was almost exclusively lager apart from Guinness Extra Cold. Not great if, like me, you're not a lager drinker. For a one off visit it was fine but as I say I don't think I'd be rushing back.

The Cotton House

Reviewed By AMCUK - Scotland, United Kingdom

Well worth going out of your way to find (easily) in the village of Longcroft or breaking your journey leaving the M80 at Junction 7.
Always very busy but usually plenty of staff available and good, prompt service. Definitely worth booking or telephoning in advance as we were unable to book mid-January even with 48 hours in advance.
Very good choice and great value set meals for lunch and pre-theatre. Last visit we had the Christmas menu which was just a touch different from the usual set meals but with enough festive touches. Booked yet again for late February family celebration.

The Red Deer

The Red Deer in Cumbernauld is a country pub & restaurant oozing rural charm and rustic character. Our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

We visited Saturday for an early dinner. Kept it simple and ordered the home made steak burger with cheese. One standard one gluten free. 1 Skinny chips and one chunky fries. It was OK. The But is whole meal was too dry Gluten free roll was dryer than usual and meat no flavour as no meat juice. Even with the addition of more and more mayo it really didn't help.Staff were excellent friendly and helpful but the Chef really needs to up his game.Suggestion ask the customer is verything OK and mean it don' ask as you walk away. :-)

Went to the Ashoka Brasserie for Christmas Dinner with my mum, husband and our two children aged 20 and 19 years old. Can’t fault anything, from the moment we arrived Meekie and staff greeted us and made us all welcome. Service was fantastic considering they were extremely busy and food was delicious. A traditional Turkey meal was on the menu but my family and I opted for curries all round, as we love the Ashoka. Well done Meekie and staff, we hope to book again for next Christmas, however, we will visit again well before that! See you soon, Alison

Small modern cafe for either the deep fried stuff or ice cream. Decent prices. Typical of lots of other ice cream shops in Glasgow.

Reviewed By oldfogeys - Glasgow

Tried here due to the recommendations here on Trip Advisor, and was very pleased we did! This is a fabulous idea, with the students from the College cooking and presenting their own food in their own restaurant. Front of house staff, also students, get a chance to practice their skills too on members of the public. The whole experience was fab. We particularly enjoyed the terrine starter, and the desserts were excellent, with the lemon meringue pie being my favourite! We learned that the place will be licensed to sell alcohol from next week, so we will even be able to get a glass of wine with dinner next time. And yes, there will be a next time, or two! Unbelievable value too, 6 quid each for three courses! Thank you!
