Battlefield Rest — Restaurant in Scotland

I've never left a review, even when a meal has been bad wouldn't do it to a business, but how I was treated when I was asked why I left my meal was non other than awful, I took my twin sister out for a meal after she had an appointment at the hospital just across the road, I'm not great on my feet so it was close, if I knew what I was in for I would have kept on walking, our starters came out my mussels where over cooked I still ate them, my sister however was the Pate it was like cat food, I'd never seen or smelt anything like it, I'm no cook myself but I knew just by looking at it, that it wasn't right, I told her not to eat it, we ordered a main, it got worse if that's possible, it was tinned pasta, the chicken was that over cooked you couldn't cut into, it was like a brick, so I left the whole plate, even though the meal was God awful I just asked for the bill and would have paid in full, the boss asked me what was wrong I did say the only thing it was fit for was the bin, he then turned round and accused me of lying then told me I wrong, stood over me, baring in mind I'm 4ft 11 with a crutch, trying to intimidate me didn't work, then another member of staff came over n said it's there popular dish, again as if I was lying I told them both to taste it's they both said no I don't blame them it looked like a car crash you didn't have to taste it, he did take the main of the bill no before he drew his eyes of me and my sister, made to feel very uncomfortable, he's lucky my mum brought me up the right way or I could have acted the same as he did, no customer services whatsoever, if your thinking of going I can't stress enough to rethink, unless you like tinned and frozen food and pay out the...

The Battlefield rest is a very well known restaurant in the area and is located at the heart of Battlefield. Both the inside of the place and the outside have a unique look so I've only always wanted to visit.

Taste I ordered the crab and prawn linguine and my companion ordered the smoked haddock open ravioli. I prefered their dish much more because the flavours were more intense and better balanced.

I felt the crab and prawn linguini was underseasoned and lacked the depth of flavour I'd expect from a pasta dish. I think the dish is a bit confused as there's ingredients like spinach that I don't think compliment the dish very well.

Looking at the menu more broadly, as someone who doesn't eat chicken or red meat there is some available options. However not many of the vegetarian ones appealed to me so I decided to try a seafood pasta as I thought it would be more flavoursome. Unfortunately, I should have probably chosen a more staple vegetarian option that is done well. The smoked haddock dish was really good though so I think it just depends on the dish.

Price The two pasta mains were around £13 which I'd say is the average for a main. We had a main each, garlic bread and a bottle of house wine at around £50 which is kind of average although slightly more expensive than other pasta places like Te Seba and Sugo.

Overall experience The service was excellent, the interior of the place is very beautiful and a bit old style but without being outdated. It's very cozy and with beautiful candles. The place was very busy around dinner time so I recommend booking in advance. I'm not sure I'd go again as there was nothing on the menu that made me want to come back but I definitely enjoyed the...

Have just returned home from here having had a fantastic meal in this beautiful building. The setting is stunning and pretty to look at and it's food is fantastically tasty.

I had Prawns and smoked salmon as my starter.....a pear, sour cream and asparagus. Wasn't sure about the pear, but omg, it comes with the salmon wrapped around it and the taste. ....wow.

My main was the venison steak with, (I think), chicken liver pate, red cabbage and crispy potatoes, all drizzled with a red currant jue.

It was amazing. The combination of the venison , pate and the jue was fantastic....likewise the marriage of the cabbage, potato and the pate delicious. If you are brave enough (I was) to have a go at putting them all into your watering mouth at one time...You will be rewarded with an amazing mouthful of heaven.

No joke.

I was in a party of approximately 25 people on a busy saturday night. The staff we helpful, curtious and friendly. The food orders were taken quickly and efficiently and the food arrived in a timely fashion.

I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Everything that I saw on our table of 12 looked and smelled amazing.

If I'm totally honest, I can't wait to go back.

The choice of dishes is outstanding and I think I could dine here for a fortnight and have a different combination for every meal.

Overall a wonderful meal and...
