The risotto I had to start needed seasoning as it came to the table quite bland and the asparagus was almost too tough to cut but the blue cheese croquettes... read more had a lovely flavour and overall the dish was tasty. I ordered the lemon sole for my main and without explanation a plate with cod on it arrived on it! A little overcooked but fairly flavoursome, however I don’t appreciate when a restaurant changes its dishes and either can’t be bothered telling you or just hope you won’t notice!!! (And all that had the fish did notice!) Poor show! I also watched the other fish dishes come out topped in plenty of lovely king prawns but I got my plate last and by then there were obviously two small scrawny “king” prawns left so I was rather miffed. I’m also not sure seasonal trimmings go with fish, other veg would have complimented it better and the veg we did get was not great either (mushy sprouts and pale, greasy, undercooked roast potatoes). Not a meal that makes me want to go back.

  We received wonderful friendly welcome from the new owner and staff. The food was delicious and served in cosy, comfortable surroundings. I can’t recommend it enough and it’s dog friendly... read more too. Fabulous!

  This wonderful welcoming Country Pub. when we arrived we were welcomed with a lovely log fire, welcoming waitresses and the New Owner off only a few days,

  We visited the Tavern 12/10/2019 for the first time. The staff were friendly and we were made feel very welcome. The menu had a good selection to choose from and... read more there were several specials on too. You have the choice of high tea or Main menu. For those who struggle to choose a dessert there is an option to have a trio of small desserts for the price of one dessert which is an excellent idea. There was also an option to have a small dessert and hot drink combo. I would highly recommend The Tavern.

  I had read the reviews of here and on our last night in the area was really looking forward to dinner, and it didn't disappoint. The place is in the... read more middle of nowhere really and inside was really cosy. We hadn't booked but were lucky enough to get a table, even on a Thursday night the place was packed.

I had the arbroath smokie pot and it was absolutely delicious and the lasagne as my main. Portion sizes were huge so I would suggest you probably don't need a starter and a main unless you have a huge appetite. Wine choices were good and to be honest I can't wait t ogo back.

Only thing I would say is we were seated quite near the kitchen and heard the waiter moaning about the fact my partner only mentioned his allergy after his order. We found it pretty funny but maybe next investment could be a door for the kitchen!

  Spending a few days locally, relaxing in a holiday cottage we decided last minute to go out for dinner and managed to get the last table in this great wee... read more pub. Loads to choose from on menu, really struggled to decide but eventually plumped for Homemade Steak Pie which was delicious, loads of melt in the mouth steak, served with seasonal veg, and choice of mash, boiled potato or chips, and can I just mention the spiced red cabbage, OMG I could just have eaten a plate of that on its own so moorish!! Husband had Beef Olives which he said were very tasty, daughter had Burger, again very tasty and homemade. Husband was the only one to have space left for pudding and had the Clootie Dumpling & Custard, which he demolished in no time. There was so much choice and I’m sure we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in area. We might save ourselves for the ‘High Tea’ as we saw the cake stands coming out for the people next to us and were drooling over all the homemade goodies. Service was friendly and efficient, nice atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in area

  I never knew this place existed but I went there at lunchtime today with my sister in law on her recommendation and we certainly were not disappointed. The staff member... read more who served us was excellent. The food was piping hot and portion sizes were more than adequate. The tavern itself is spotless with bright decor and tastefully furnished. My first visit but certainly not my last.

  First visit and had a lovely High Tea - Well prepared and nicely presented food - Very friendly staff and nothing to much trouble for mine host Jim

  We stayed in the pod in the garden & ate here 3 times throughout the week. I can honestly say that every dish I had was delicious, obviously freshly cooked... read more & piping hot. Generous portions too & the puddings are to die for. The strawberry sundae was massive & the clootie dumpling was amazing. The staff are all pleasant & friendly too. Just wish we lived nearer so we could visit every week
