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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
