Amazing food at this pub, with great portions and very fair prices. My husband had the biggest steak he had ever had! Lots of cars outside even on a weekday, so if you like having a sea-view table you might want to book in advance. Thank you very much to the lovely staff.
Claims to be the best pub in Dumfries and Galloway. After having lunch here, I can certainly see why. Food was delicious, smoked salmon to start and the seafood chowder for mains. I've not had pub food this good for a long time. Service was great too. Pub is very authentic with log fires and salmon fishing memorabilia together with a load of award certs across the top of the fireplace. Great views over the water opposite. I will surely revisit when I'm back in the area.
We really enjoyed visiting, the food was excellent and the service was excellent. We visited twice. The first time we visited we had the chowder which was absolutely delicious probably my favourite dish I ate all week visiting southerness! Second time we had the seafood platter which was cooked to perfection, plenty on the platter as well they do not skimp on portion sizes here! The views outside are also very beautiful so if the weather is lovely they also have a beer garden to enjoy and relax.
Just brilliant. Excellent food, great, attentive staff, lovely location. This pub is the antithesis of modern anti-septic corporate rubbish, plastic so called pubs we have forced upon us today. First class, well done folks..
Brilliant pub. We had a great lunch as a large group - the food is excellent and really well cooked - the seafood was particularly good, including the (huge) mixed seafood platter, and the portions were generous. You can access the beach and walk off your lunch easily too - perfect. More than anything though, the owner and staff are friendly, attentive and have made a really welcoming environment - will definitely return when next in the area.
