The House Of Bruar - Perth Kinross

My long history with this restaurant took a turn for the worse during my recent visit. The server seemed hostile and rushed us to make a quick decision when we arrived, despite us being the only customers in line. The condiments were not labeled, so when we asked for horseradish, the server pointed angrily and scowled. When we inquired about his day, he mentioned it was quiet, which explained his impatience. We hastily finished our meal and left without shopping, feeling unwelcome. The roast potatoes, which used to be my favorite, now seem to be of frozen variety and were unremarkable. The carrots were too hard to eat. Despite our disappointment, we chose not to complain. It's disheartening to see the decline of this once beloved restaurant.

I went to House of Bruar for breakfast shortly after they opened on Sunday. The man serving food was extremely rude, especially to a lady who requested a plain, unbuttered roll with her bacon sandwich. He glared at her, rolled his eyes, threw the buttered roll on the floor, and then went into the kitchen where he could be heard berating her in his native language. This behavior was very disrespectful. Despite the high quality of other items at House of Bruar, the breakfast was mediocre. The tomato was raw in the middle, the bacon and hash brown were soggy, the sausages were good, the egg was fresh, and the toast was cold. Additionally, the staff were still setting up and cleaning despite the restaurant being officially open, which created a negative atmosphere. It would be better to set everything up before opening or to open later. It seems like an easy choice to make.

The restaurant's location, overall appearance, and pricing led me to anticipate a high-quality meal, but unfortunately, the experience did not meet my expectations. Despite being very hungry, the lack of enthusiasm from the staff and the subpar food tarnished my visit. I ordered a full breakfast, which was heaped onto my plate without any attention to presentation. The fried egg was especially disappointing, with undercooked white. I declined toast and hash browns, as I do not believe the latter has a place in a British breakfast. When offered an extra sausage and requesting extra bacon instead, the server seemed annoyed. I chose to dine in the conservatory, which was lovely with trees and birds. The sausages were large but lacked quality and were undercooked. The bacon had a greasy residue, likely from being treated with saline as in supermarkets. The black pudding was burnt and dry. For a price of £12, I expected much better. I regularly purchase breakfast items from my local butcher for less than £5 and can enjoy a much higher quality meal for two people.

House of Bruar Restaurant provided an amazing experience, especially with their generous and helpful staff. Despite arriving late due to a bad accident, the team accommodated us well, particularly with picky kids. The chicken ham pie was notably fantastic, and even the turkey pleased the young ones. Highly recommended for a great dining experience.

Three of us had the same soup and we were all ill that night. Bit more than a coincidence I think .
