"while haigs is both perfectly located and a beautiful place to eat, the prices are disgusting. Yes, eating is well presented and tasteful, but it is very expensive for the amount they receive. service of the waitress, I'm sorry not to catch her name was exceptional. we have waited for the food to arrive, but this is, I think, because it is made to order. ambiente, perfect, but the place was empty, except for other 6 or 7 people. all in all, we would go back if we won the lottery"

"I’ve driven past this restaurant for years but this was my first visit. From the outside it looks good and there’s a very welcoming fire and seating area as you enter. Plenty of parking right outside the door too. I thought the food was good, nothing exceptional but good. The restaurant itself was very busy which is a good sign too, even if you’d except that at this time of year. Staff were first rate in their pleasantness, but I wondered if they were a little over-stretched? A man I assume to be the owner had an angry swearing moment at a young staff member which wasn’t a great look, right in the middle to the restaurant. We were also never approached for more than our first drink (and we were all wanting to drink more, so thirst for us and lost revenue for them). The decor is nice, very open. However, the carpet looks tired and a bit 70s and the roof was leaking in the rain in several places. I appreciate Covid has hit this industry hard so money may be a bit tight, but these things need work first. It wouldn’t take much to improve this to a 4 star review and while I wouldn’t make a trip specially based on this experience, I would give give it another try a few months down the road."

"After taking a walk with my dog, we were on the lookout for a quick, dog-friendly lunch spot. We were warmly greeted by Jess (please forgive me if I'm mistaken about the name) and the Bar Manager. We chose items from the snack menu—a toastie with a side of chips and a chili chicken wrap, also served with chips. The chili chicken and cheese wrap received a satisfied nod and a cheesy thumbs up from my companion, while my toastie was exactly what I hoped for: a perfect combination of cheese, ham, and red onion, featuring some of the best ham I've ever had. Overall, it was a thumbs up from me as well. Thank you to the Royal Hotel Bar for a great experience! (I also heard that the restrooms were very clean—10/10 for that!)"

"We visited the recently refurbished reopened Craigie Hotel for lunch over the festive period with a group of friends. The day didn 't get off to a good start when the waiting staff couldn 't locate our lunch reservation. However, these things happen so we waited whilst they arranged a table. And waitied....... and waited......... Eventually, some 30 minutes later, we were informed by someone who appeared to be management that a table was available. Once seated, drinks orders were taken and quickly delivered to the table. The earlier wait was beginning to seem like a distant memory already. However... once the young member of staff began to distribute drinks, it soon became apparent that the order bore little resemblance to what was expected by our party. Beers were bottled instead of draught, wine was red instead of white. Ice was served in drinks when it was specifically requested without. Drinks returned, it took a further 15 minutes before everyone seated actually had what they had asked for. Things can only get better now right? Wrong. The food was a disgrace for a hotel which masquerades as a venue nearer the upper end of the taste and class scale. The sandwiches were reminiscent of a 4am hotel room service snack both in presentation and taste, and the salads looked like they had been plucked from the 'whoops ' section of a supermarket aisle. By this time enough was enough, and a member of our group spoke with a manager. However, despite detailing our disappointments at what had been a very below par service, the 'manager ' offered no explanation and seemed very condescending. Given our spend, I found this astonishing that someone employed in the service industry could behave in this manner. I will be taking this up in writing with the hotel GM at the earliest opportunity. Needless to say, my friend and his wife who were on the verge of booking their summer wedding at this venue have now categorically ruled it out. I would suggest anyone considering the Craigie for lunch, dinner or a wedding reception consider their options very carefully."
