A friend and I went here for a later evening meal. At the bar i mentioned that I don’t know much about beer but wanted to try a local one. I ended up with something light and fruity, but unfortunately it was flat. No bubbles (that’s what takes the last star away). We waited a rather long time for the food, but being very hungry it proved to be worth the wait. Fish & chips was hearty, but not enough salt (or any!) and the Bangers & mash was solid. We tried haggis for the first time and the waiter asked us for a reaction, which was pleasant. Staff was overall friendly and the environment was easygoing. I’d recommend this place to anyone in the same situation.

Visiting Dumfries for the weekend and decided we couldnt go wrong with a Wetherspoons for lunch. Waited at the bar in a "queue" only to have about 3 "regulars" served before us. Ordered dinner and the female that served me asked if I was sure I wanted to order food as there was a 30-45 minute wait?! I said yes. Placed order and sat with our pint of shandies waiting. Food was lovely (and so was the waiter - he had only been there 2 days and seemed to be working harder than anyone else!). I only gave 3 stars for the food and waiter. For the bar staff would have been 0 stars!!

On a sunny lunch time, we thought let's see how this spoons is going to be like as we knew what type of service to expect. We were pleasantly surprised when we had a quick and efficient service, used the app to order, very easy, greeted at the door with polite staff. Only let down was the mug that I was given for the bottomless hot drinks, was stained and cutlery need re washing. I enjoyed the food and potions did not dissapoint, Almost a perfect score.., keep scrubbing them utensils (or get a better dish washer / service your current one)

I am rating them low for food and service because of fewer vegetarian options on the menu and service as I have wasted money, even though it's cheap on the coffee refill mugs recently. I say that because I have experienced something funny the last few times, the staff doesn't tell you about switching off the machine, when you are buying it or while doing it. I didn't face that problem before. However, I do feel that it's one of the best places in Dumfries to chill with friends and family or even on your own.

Lovely food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Signage could be better and the outside of the pub didn't look great but would definitely return if in the area.
