I had haddock that was served with a side salad. Other half had the pork stack burger with chips. Hot food, freshly prepared and served in a timely manner, what more could you want.

Afternoon delight. Haddock and Chicken cooked beautifully and served with lovely sides. Enjoyed every bite. Picked a quiet time so difficult to judge atmosphere but staff very friendly and attentive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stop here and it is worth a drive out. Currently owned by the MacLeans Bakery just up the road, the food is fresh, simple and honest. Ann was a delight and the perfect host, friendly and warm, and we really enjoyed meeting her and the time she gave us on the history of the local area. The decor of the restaurant is gorgeous, and I particularly loved the individually made glass panels in the windows- well worth a look around... Also- lemon cheesecake to die for!!!

Huge portions, fish beautifully soft and flaky, served piping hot. Pavlova (banana, toffee sauce, ice cream) delicious but it's on a standard meringue, not a pavlova texture - that's OK by me, but if you expect a soft interior, it's not there!

Food was fantastic and a fair price for large portions.
