Went for breakfast. The room is very large with lots of seats available. The staff member that took our order was brilliant and even offered extra free food as they weren't too busy at the time. Food was lovely and not too expensive, staff were also happy to swap out parts of our meals for others.

We popped in here for some lunch and were greatly surprised by the food and service! Sandwiches were stuffed full of delicious fillings and the pancakes were made-to-order. Staff all very friendly and the price was great too! Will certainly be back!

I recently tried the cullen skink and mince and tatties. Overall, the food was decent. The cullen skink had a fantastic flavour, though it was a touch too thick for my preference. The mince was tasty, but perhaps a bit too salty. The mash was served in ice cream scoops, reminiscent of school dinners, and was a little dry. I'd have preferred a simple spoonful. The skirlie didn't have the correct texture appeared to be a cooked white pudding placed on the plate, with a couple of small, hard pieces in it that were a bit of a mystery. Given the busy weekend lunchtime rush, I'm inclined to attribute these minor issues to the high volume of pre-prepared food. I'm definitely planning to return during a quieter weekday to see if the experience differs. Oh , and please chance the strange purple LED light around the side of the room, they made it feel like I was in a tanning salon and the made the food look like it was a strange colour even though it wasn't. I have returned since and my mother had the macaroni cheese which was really nice, maybe a little too soft as it was a little over cooked. I had the burger with haggis which was really good. I'll definitely return.
