Blackmill Bar and Kitchen — Restaurant in Scotland

Very pleasantly surprised by this gem as our host had advised it could be hit/miss but on our visit it was a definite hit. We booked about 2 hours before dining and I think it was worth while doing as boy were they busy tonight. On arrival nicely and professionally greets and shown to our table, the booth area was just right, thanks for that. Our waitress was really good, knew the menu, answered questions and was multi tasking like it was going out of fashion. The drinks were promptly served, nice larger, thanks

Then the food turned up, oh boy, we knew at this point we had made the right decision coming here. The shared bruschetta was well worth while doing I had the chicken with fries, veg (aaldente, just right) with a really nice peppercorn sauce. The other dish was a hanging steak. Both very good, cracking fries, great with the sauce and the chicken was butterflied, nicely cooked and wasn’t under/over done, nice and very hard to keep a couple of pieces for the dogs waiting in the car. Appreciate the pup is dog friendly but with having 2 Labradors, it was easy for us to leave them in the car on this occasion Really pleased with the food but did we have space for a dessert, maybe so after checking out the menu we both opted for the churros, omg what a lovely way to finish the meal. Price was very fair as including 3 x large Pepsi max and a larger it came to about £65 for both of us. The staff were on point, helpful, friendly and professional, a real credit to the owners.

The only slight down side was with someone playing something on a phone (game/video) as that was rather loud and could be heard over the chatter of the other guests, but I’m assuming being a ‘member’ of staff, it’s a perk

A definite hit and we’d love to try other items from the menu next time we’re in the area and would encourage you to visit, based on...

This place changed ✋ ✋ on November of last yr. from The Shore to what it is now.

So in i went with my friend Janie on 11/7/24 & ordered the best stake pie 🥧 for miles around. & she had the chicken 🐤 & bacon 🥓 wrap with lovely non greasy crisp chips & side salad which she thoroughly enjoyed 👍

At least my long plate was hot🔥 which it should be & I only had a small couple of tough pieces of meat in it. The gravy was nice & thick & my mashed tatties were lovely & the small portions of carrots 🥕 & broccoli 🥦 were cooked to perfection 👍

I had their lentil soup before my mains [of course] & it sure was piping hot 🔥 as it should be & it wasn't too thick or too thin BUT I didn't experience much taste from it as in some others eateries there is a taste of ham/bacon from the stock, at least i got a taste from the toast as you can see 😂

I washed it all down with a lattie (coffee) BUT I couldn't believe it - it was only luke warm & I told the most pleasant young waitress Elyse if it could be removed for a hot one & that was no problem for her to do & when it came back, it was exactly the same as the last one I got - only luke warm.

So up I went with it & spoke to the cook & said that maybe his coffee machine wasn't working right, so he brought me ANOTHER one & it was piping hot 🔥 (3rd time lucky)

The sweet that I chose from the menu was apple 🍏 crumble & warm custard. I said to Eylse if I could have my custard HOT & it came in a wee jug & my bowl of apple 🍏 crumble was full to the top & it was loaded with apples which were hot & brown crumble on top on which I poured some of my hot custard over & after eating all that I was quite full.

I have seen pictures of their battered fish 🐠 & it looks nice & crisp, so I will be back in again to sample that along with hopefully non...

Noticed this place when we arrived for a wk long stay in Falkirk, fancied dining out on the Wednesday evening so took a walk down. Friendly welcome from a local lad sitting at the Bar & then who I believe to be the owner appeared behind the Bar, ordered & paid for 4 Drinks & then informed the guy we would like food out in the Beer Garden & that we had our 3 Month old Puppy with us, he informed me that was absolutely fine & did we want to dine inside as Dogs are welcome, anyway we got a table outside with menus given at the Bar, we then chose our food, Steak Pie Chips & Veg, Beer battered Fish & Chips c/w mushy Peas, loade fries with Chilli & a kids Chicken Nuggets with Chips. The host came out with a bowl of water & some treats for the puppy & then 10 mins later all 4 meals arrived & all agreed that is was absolutely beautiful, my wife did say that the Chilli was a bit hhhhot..!! 😂😂 Also ordered Churros which came with a pot of Choc Spread, Caramel & a pot of Honeycomb ice cream & my wife had the biscof cheese cake, all course were thoroughly enjoyed & the empty plates proved it. 3 Pints of Blackberry Cider(highly recommend) 2 x Cokes & 2 X diet Coke £70 all in. Highly recommend the Staff, the premises, the food & the desserts. If your ever near this establishment go ahead & treat you &...
