The Grouse & Claret — Restaurant in Scotland

Really lovely food, and amazingly friendly and kind owner and staff.

Due to car trouble we arrived well over an hour late to meet family for a meal. The staff were so welcoming when we arrived even though we were so late and very quickly gave us both a bowl of soup to warm us up.

As we had arrived so late we weren't able to order any main courses as the main chef was no longer on shift (we had been told this prior to arriving and we totally understood) but we ordered several tasty starters which were brought out to us nice and prompt. Much to our surprise the owner then followed these up with a full roast pork dinner for us both which she had put together four us despite the kitchen not being open for main courses. The pork was delicious and we were so grateful for the kindness and thoughtfulness, and to top it all off they didn't even charge us for the main courses they had brought us!

We had lots of fun chatting with the owner and the staff, and we really enjoyed the complimentary home-made limoncello :)

Overall a really great experience and we'll definitely be back. Many thanks to the owner and staff for looking...

Have been meaning to visit for years but as the place doesn't get, or need, much publicity we never got round to it until today.

What a find! Lovely location and the food was outstanding. Not only beautifully cooked but generous portions and ridiculous value for money.

I'm going to have to call out the smoked trout and crayfish starter as just a wonderful way to start the meal. But everyone enjoyed their starters.

Sunday roast beef can be hit and miss but not here, beautifully tender beef not over cooked and you get plenty of it.

The other main dishes were equally delicious.

I could have eaten anything from the menu to be honest so we'll have to go back and give that a try. I saw the sea bass another diner was served and it looked fantastic so that's me for the next visit.

And I have to give the staff a massive thank you, such lovely people who really want you to enjoy your meal. It was surprisingly busy and felt like they were under a bit of pressure but that didn't affect the service so well done!

Can't wait...

Had a delicious birthday meal with my grandad the staff were superb and very knowledgeable in the menu and what they sold. We both had the soufflé for starter which was the first time I've had soufflé and was recommended it by the owner herself as said you have to try ours It's the best and right she was so soft and fresh and an excellent recommendation. For main i had the trout with veg and potatoes. The fish was very fresh and fell off the skin and all the vegetables were cooked to perfection with the potatoes complementing the fish incredibly well. For my pudding i got a strawberry and cream bread and butter pudding Which could only be described as out of this world and rounded off an excellent meal. I hope to come back sometime in the future for a special occasion like this and enjoy some of the excellent food on offer by the restaurant thank you for the hospitality you gave me and my grandad we will remember it for the rest...
