A big menu, but a little confusing, as they advertised an offer outside for early evening, but when we got the bill we were charged the normal prices. This was quickly rectified by another member of staff though when we pointed this out. Some of the staff (maybe new) seemed unsure of their duties and the service was slow, and once ordered our dish took a while to arrive, but we would try going again as the food was very tasty.

When I asked 2 different waitresses they went away but never came back. Eventually they manageress came with my meal and an apology. Have to say the people with me had finished there meals. We then choose puddings. Yeah obviously one of those nights. When my bannofee tart appeared pastry case burnt on top and bottom. I said to the waitress who took it back without an apology. Then a few minutes later a new one appeared with the manageress and apology. They did take both items of our bill. I just felt the waitresses could have come back with an explanation.

We were not served food by the kitchen because we were a large group of 9 people, even though we had called ahead to communicate our group size. read more We were not served food by the kitchen because we were a large group of 9 people, even though we had called ahead to communicate our group size.

Son had burger which was homemade and daughter had the mac and cheese which I tasted and was delicious. We’re only up here for a couple of days but if we come back to Lossie then we will definitely be back. All of the staff were super friendly, helpful, efficient and deserved the 20% tip.

Disappointed, like food but service could be better.

The waitress finally appeared, took our order, both food and drink. The drinks arrived quickly. I ordered scampi, chips with salad and tartar sauce. No tartar sauce. Chips were undercooked and pasty looking. Not very nice and certainly not handmade.....unless McCain have a new range out. Scampi was okay. The coleslaw was cheap and tasteless. My other half had the LA Grill which looked like it had been thrown together. Chips....all 7 of them were undercooked and pasty. The bacon was extremely salty, onion rings were definitely cooked from frozen. The burger was from an economy range and was dry. A tiny portion of black pudding and a fried egg that looked like it had been dropped. To top it off we had extra drinks on charged to our bill, which was far too expensive considering the cheap use of ingredients. Needless to say we won't be going back.

After sitting for 10 min we had to ask for menus at which point the set up was explained order inside. On entering we were then met with ‘at the bar’ when we asked where to order could have been a little more welcoming. Food was prompt snacks all round, but overall disappointing. Young lady who served us had a better manner than inside. Two American gentleman left after sitting for 15mins with no one approaching them. Not exactly busy either. Shame as perfect position to welcome all.

They booked us in for a group of 9 which can sometimes be an issue in some places. Service took a while but it was busy so no complaints.
