Simpsons Tea Room — Restaurant in Scotland

Before we arrived I specifically called to see if they were dog friendly. Was told no and we could sit at an outside table. On arrival at 3.15 as soon as we walked in the waitress straightaway looked at her watch. Well that made us feel very welcome!

I had an egg mayonnaise sandwich which came with a side salad. This was joined shortly by a lovely wholewheat scone with jam and cream and all washed down with a pot of tea.

Service was prompt and friendly, and with total cost of under £10, I would highly recommend visit if you are...

Average quaint cafe with average prices, although the cheese and onion toasty was delicous. The staff were friendly enough, and would go back as there doesn't seem to many decent places around, but needs to up its game if it wants to compete with the likes of Symposium round the corner. More your grannies type of place than...
