Fantastic Food, Tired Decor Saturday, let’s have brunch! We drive the short distance from the house a The Steading, upon arrival after a few minutes wait we asked for a table for two. We were directed up to the conservatory and sat just inside the door. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress and asked of we would like drinks, I opted for a pint of coke, which arrived in no time at all. I ordered the full Scottish breakfast, which was very good and an americano coffee. We were asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu but declined as we were quite full. The food and service were very good!! As we were waiting for the food and throughout the meal I started to look at the curtains and the conservatory in detail and only then did I realise that it’s starting to look a little tired with indistinguishable stains on the curtains and general interior. As we left the downstairs area was completely full with others enjoying their afternoon meals. Good food, good service but a little tired!

I dropped in here whilst waiting for the bus home after a walk/hike around the Pentlands. Let me just say, I'm glad that I did. Whilst my server hadn't a clue what whisky he gave me, I was treated extremely well by him, and especially by the manager upon entry. I instantly felt, not only welcome, but relaxed and at home. I was tempted for food, but due to the unreliability of buses at the moment, I daren't take the risk. I'll definitely be going back on my next hike around the Pentlands. Or maybe I'll just head on up there anyway, just for a drink...

I ordered lovely sopup of the day.But apple and blackberry crumble was shockingly bad.I ate two spoons and waited for server to ask if everything is alright,but he didn't.I asked for a bill and he had opportunity to ask,but again no,then I went to pay and even then was not asked was everything o.k?If someone asked I would have explain that crumble was just literally golden syrup porridge on top of apples with blackberry jam and covered with custard.No,not the crumble from oats.But porridge...Sad...

We are about to hike and camp on the pentland hills so we thought it would be nice to have a wee pint before going. They have a Pentland IPA and my girlfriend and me both wanted to try that one. Really nice and fresh, not too strong so that we can go on without being too "beered". I have been here a few years ago and I had a burger which was really tasty. The staff is friendly and the place itself look pretty cool. A really nice country pub. The food menu has got a fair amount of choices.

Not been here for a while so popped in for an early dinner. Hadn’t booked a table which wasn’t a problem as the place was very quiet. We had a table in the bar and a nice waiter brought us the menus and took our order. We ordered one portion of Tempura Prawns, then one Steak Pie with Vegetables and one Rump Steak with chunky chips. Unfortunately the food was ok but nothing special , waitress a bit sad looking all the time with no interaction so perhaps having a bad night.

Very busy but got a table near the bar, ordered at the bar then placed our order. Nice menu had the fish and chips and salad also beef lasagne with garlic bread. Served quickly and the food was very tasty nice portions fish tasted very fresh lightly battered excellent fresh salad with loads of dressing. Lasagna was made not frozen with loads of mozzarella cheese, lovely. Told some of our friends and family. Recommend
