What john m1208081 doesn't like about Gillies:
My wife and I stopped by the restaurant today and ordered mince and dumplings, peas and chips, and pie and chips, along with tea and a small coke. The total came to £18.60. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the food. The dumpling was hard as a rock, the mince was bland and low-quality, and the pie seemed like it had been reheated multiple times. For the price we paid, we expected much better quality. Need... View all feedback. What Dillybop likes about Gillies:
I recently visited this restaurant for their jacket potatoes and I was not disappointed. The service was great and very pleasant. The jacket potatoes were freshly cooked and on the larger side, and they were brought to our table promptly. There was a variety of toppings to choose from, and we went with the tuna mayonnaise and garlic chicken. They were served with a simple but fresh side salad of iceberg lettuce, toma...

Nestled in a bustling area, the restaurant offers a diverse menu but leaves patrons with mixed feelings. Some diners rave about the freshly cooked jacket potatoes and delectable scones, praising the attentive staff and good value for money. Others, however, express disappointment in consistently subpar meals, bland flavors, and disorganized service. While the cafe enjoys a reputation for affordability and a lively atmosphere, issues such as cleanliness and staff attitude can overshadow its charm. Despite the potential for a pleasant visit, many leave questioning whether a return is worth it. Overall, it's a venue that may require some refinement.
