Cobwebs — Restaurant in Scotland

So we were on holiday and decided to eat out. This was first place we seen. We got seated and started looking through menu. Unfortunately the vinegar bottle caught my eye due to a number of flies floating around the top - great for scaring the kids with though. We asked for this to be replaced for which we also got an apology from the polite waitress. Tables felt sticky (so kept elbows off), paper towel holding cutlery was also sticking to table. At this point we did think about leaving but decided to give it a go as it had received good reviews previously and we had ordered some drinks. I moved my foot and felt water splashing everywhere - so I look down and low and behold - a dog bowl full of water was on the floor - just what I’d expect. Looking up towards the bar area - a dog could clearly be seen in kitchen area which was visible from our table. Unfortunately I am not one of the contingent who feel dogs should share the same rights / privileges and hygiene practices as humans within a food serving kitchen. So anyway… ordered Nachos for the kids. About 20 minutes later - could see a member of staff come back from coop with a bag of Doritos ! Surely a coincidence ? We also ordered pizza for the kids. Low and behold, half an hour later seen a member of staff come back from coop with a pizza! Had to wait an hour for the food to be served which was ridiculous - food didn’t taste bad but wasn’t particularly pleasant considering chips were pretty much all undercooked (I noticed this also in another review), and batter on fish was undercooked. All in all, 62 pounds in total which wasn’t worth the money. Food wasn’t terrible but not great, terrible hygiene with flies in the vinegar, and the dog issues. Going out to coop and buying the food we were ordering was also really poor. Won’t be going back. Cobwebs however would probably be an accurate description of...

Sadly a very disappointing visit. The menu looked great and varied, so we were excited to go. However, we did end up leaving before we got served. The atmosphere was poor- it was very quiet, even though is was somewhat busy, the tables and chairs were uncomfortable and the general aesthetic was poor and not well thought through. They could really do with sprucing the place up and leaning more into the “cobweb” theme, with a dark, gothic, aesthetic. Their choices were more along the lines of cheap Halloween decorations. It took a very long time to get menus, and there were no displays to tell us what the cakes/bakes or the soup of the day were. As someone with ADHD, this was difficult to remember, after I’d asked what they were. We then waited an even longer time to be served- it appeared there was only one waitress working at the time. Eventually, we left after waiting a long time in an awkward feeling environment and went to a different cafe, which was a much better experience. I really hope they look at what they can do to improve, as it’s always sad to see a family business not...

Absolutely fantastic food was lovely never mind the review above. Fruit flys are a massive problem in the summer they live in my vinegar bottles back home the staff sorted it as he said.

I think he needs to remember it's rural also in these areas so places may be different back home.

Anyway my son had the chicken burger and chips. Loved it home cooked he is fussy!

My partner scampi and soup to start he loved it. And he is fussy also.

Daughter had chicken strips to start and macaroni from kids menu and chocolate cake ( brilliant price for kids) She ate it.

I had chicken strips to start lovely and the steak.

Server was lovely.

10/10 will be back next time we are down at caravan.

Thank you for a lovely meal in a nice chilled out...
