We visited today for lunch. While the service remained friendly and the staff polite upon our arrival, our experience was unfortunately marred by several disappointments, primarily regarding the food quality. To start, the pricing felt steep for a casual lunch setting. A pint of Guinness was £5.70, and a glass of Pinot was £6. Although the front-of-house team was courteous, we were not checked on after our food was served, which left little opportunity to address our concerns in real-time. The food itself was exceedingly underwhelming. I ordered the fish supper, which arrived with a strong taste of stale cooking oil, suggesting it had not been cooked at the correct temperature, resulting in a greasy and unpleasant dish. I returned it to the kitchen and opted not to reorder. My wife’s haggis bonbons were also disappointing, arriving dry and lacking flavour. Although the Cajun fries had vibrant seasoning, they carried the same old oil aftertaste as my meal. The highlight was my son’s chicken and leek pie, which he enjoyed and appeared to be the only dish meeting our expected standard. To the manager’s credit, a complimentary drink was offered to make amends. However, given the overall experience, I declined it. We have always enjoyed visiting this pub for its atmosphere and service. Still, based on this visit, I would not recommend it for dining.
