What Fruitloaf likes about At Goblin Ha' Gifford:
Great food on offer with generous portions at great prices. Food can be eaten in the conservatory area or in lounge area of the bar. All staff very attentive and friendly.I'd recommend The Goblin Ha' restaurant and look forward to dining and staying again when in the area next year for Annual Classic Car Show we attend. View all feedback. What Mossie365 doesn't like about At Goblin Ha' Gifford:
Went there last year and the overall experience was pretty good, but this time the menu seems to have changed and the food was not that appetising, I live local so will give it one more chance but if it’s not great then I’ll go elsewhere. I didn’t enjoy the chicken in mustard sauce, definitely need to up their game food wise! View all feedback.

Nestled in a quaint village, The Goblin Ha has garnered a mix of reviews reflecting varied dining experiences. While some patrons rave about the delicious, homemade food and warm, attentive service, others express disappointment with undercooked dishes and unresponsive staff. Guests have praised standout options like the Steak and Guinness pie and Beer battered haddock, lauding their quality and value. However, service inconsistencies and kitchen mishaps, such as overcooked and poorly portioned meals, have marred some visits. Overall, The Goblin Ha offers potential for a delightful meal, yet consistency remains key to its success.
