"This was my first visit to The Fighting Cocks, although my wife and local ladies eat there regularly, also my friends. To begin with the decor and ambeience was excellent and l looked forward to my meal. The waitress recommeded an ale to me which was very good and we selected our meals from the menue. The starter was superb and as good as most restaurants around us, but this is where my experience ended, as the duck l ordrered was teribble and so tough. l tried cutting it to small pieces, but this was very difficult with a blunt knife and tough meat and eventually put a piece in my mouth and tried to chew it. After masticating it for some time l swallowed, but it stuck in my throat and would not go down despite drinking some beer. Being in some discomfort l was eventually forced to go to the gents and try to regurgititate it in order to remove or swallow it, all of which was an unpleasant experience. Eventually after several attempts it finally went down and l was able to return to our table, but no longer wanted to consume any more and we paid the bill and left. l have had problems with tough meet before and should probably not have ordered duck, which is often very chewable. l have to accept part of the blame as l am not a big meat eater and your staff and restaurant is very nice. This has obviously coulored my judgement somewhat, however it would not put me off revisiting The Fighting Cocks or recommending it to other sand my wife will continue to enjoy meals there. My wife and l eat out a great deal, mostly top class restaurants (Rules in London, The Coach House at Ruxley, Dua Mici Chistelhurst, Giacomo 's Weald, Bartella 's Meopham, Harrods and others so appreciate good food, so am happy to put this down to an unfortunate experience with duck, which has to be cooked well to be tender. Please accept this as fair critcicsm with no wish to cause you trouble. Regards. Brian Edwards."

"Had a really great time here, the food was great the courgette fries are fantastic, the chips are perfect, hummus with pitta was really tasty, the chicken milanese was nice and crispy, and the desserts.... cheesecake with raspberry coulis and brownie with ice cream, both just the right sweetness to top off the meal. The music was great and the service was great waiter wore a mask and kept distance whenever possible, very polite and attentive; The only thing I would change is the decor/atmosphere it feels more like a local breakfast place, with pub style tables; for the price and quality of the food I think it deserves an upgrade, dressed tables (maybe a candle or some flowers), mood lighting, etc. I left very happy and will be coming back!"

"For my meal, I had lentil soup with bread as a starter, chicken with haggis for the main course, and toffee cheesecake for dessert. The food was delicious. The wedding party was great, with good music from the DJ. The breakfast buffet the next day was also lovely. I want to thank all the staff at the Torrance Hotel for a wonderful stay and for making my sister's wedding special. I will definitely be back for a drink and dinner in the future. The hotel is easily accessible by bus from my home in North Motherwell. Thank you again to everyone at the Torrance Hotel."

"I also found the service to be charming and friendly. The prices are fair for the generous portion sizes and high-quality food, which is consistently well-prepared. Additionally, our meals arrived quickly, and they were happy to serve us refreshing water with ice. One minor detail to note: be sure not to forget to validate your parking ticket, as it’s required to get a discount. They kindly provided me with details on how to do this when I returned to the parking area. Aside from all the positives, I appreciated that the tables are spaced out in the spacious dining room, and the comfortable chairs and carpets help keep the noise levels low, allowing for private conversations—a rarity these days but a much-appreciated touch! I truly love Ventana and believe it has become my favorite restaurant. I highly recommend it!"

"Very disappointed. Have been here many times and have always enjoyed it. The menu has changed and unfortunately not for the better. The lovely menu has gone along with the specials board. Menu used to include dishes such as sea bass and salmon along with classical dishes such as sausages and mash and liver and bacon. It has now been replaced with scampi and chips,pizzas and burgers. Not the lovely traditional pub that it once was. Unfortunately no longer for us."

"we had an absolutely fantastic stay from the moment we arrived at the moment when we were gone and we stayed longer. the personal was the highlight of our stay. we had a good laugh with them and they were beautiful. nothing was a problem. skye tried to get my favorite start but could not be estimated in time. really, that she tried! the place is ideal for trips. the restaurant was amazing, rarely we eat at the same place 2 days in order, but we did here and both nights we were served delicious food. the room was immaculate and very comfortable, with everything we could need. they would certainly recommend and we will definitely return, but probably not as fast as I want."

"After a nice greeting we were asked if we wished a drink at the fire and it looked so inviting that we agreed to be happy. glasses of bubbles were brought and we penetrated the menu in great comfort. with our choices we were shown on our table in the window. it was like private eating and we loved it. pate and huh were ordered and it was agreed that they were good choices. I love the brûlée fucked on the pate. we decided to share a dessert before the fire. unbelievable and so cozy we didn't want to go. thanks for a nice evening. we will definitely visit again when we are in dartmouth."

"My friend and I enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast lunch here which is excellent value but huge! This would suit most people with a very healthy appetite but it was a shame that my elderly friend could not do it justice although she gave it a good go! I would suggest offering a slightly smaller size of roast dinner (price adjusted accordingly) for those with smaller appetites. This isn't a complaint, just a suggestion. The staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. I have only marked down the score I've given for ambience because, on a warm sunny day, it does get uncomfortably hot in the conservatory and there are no blinds."

"First, after ordering our drinks, my husband 's drink took 5 10 minutes longer to come for some reason than mine and the kids '. When my mother arrived to complete our table and ordered a gin and tonic, she had waited for about 10 minutes when the waitress returned and then asked what mixer she wanted. Could have been an idea to ask if the order. My mother asked her to put ice in a separate glass and not with her gin. About another 10 minutes later she got her g t filled to burst point with ice! We waited another 5 10 minutes, but no one came to take our food order. The children were very hungry, so we thought we would ask them to take the order instead of waiting longer. We placed our order, I ordered a steak without sauce, hubby ordered a burger, and we had ordered a starter. The starter came together with the children's meal, which was good, just wait about 20 minutes. But when the main meal arrived, my steak was cold/hot and very thin (as a minute steak as a rag). She also gave me sauce. My mother got her meal, but my Nacktby's Burger didn't appear. About 10 15 minutes later, while my mother and I were halfway through our meals and the children were ready, he asked the waitress where his burger told them she would go and check. Came back 2 minutes later and said it was only 5 minutes, without further explanation why it'd come. 10 minutes later, I had decided to leave my steak and just eat the chips and veg, and my mother had finished her meal, my Hubby decided to go and tell them to wrap his meal to take home, like previous children's bedtime, so could not really sit another 20 30 minutes while he finished his dinner (assuming it was ever arriving). 10 minutes ago and the wounded 'to go' Burger 't arrived', so we decided to tell them to forget it, but then the manager gave it to us and apologized, pulled it out of the bill. That was fair enough, but not really for the experience."

"We were passing by and were intrigued when we saw this restaurant, so we decided to turn around and stop here instead. We tried the cullen skink, which was absolutely fantastic. It was the best we had during our trip to Scotland. The house-made sourdough bread was delicious, and the fish and chips were the best we've had in Scotland. The addition of citrus and dill in the batter for the fish really elevated the dish. We noticed that the fish and chips were less salty here compared to the states, but that was easily remedied on our own. The onion rings were cooked perfectly and are a must-try if you're in the Inverness area, which isn't too far away - just a short car ride."

"This location is very close to home in our town and has a very troubled history with various establishments in and out, even though this is Trumbull Center. When Bianco Rosso came in we were skeptical, as all of the former restaurants were nothing special. Well, this time it is VERY different. The updates decor is nice, while it is still a bit of a smaller place. The drinks were perfect, and we have particular demands. The apps were awesome and they split our salad when we just mentioned we were sharing that, which is a nice touch. The entrees were fantastic (beef short rib and the lamb shank), and the pistachio-chocolate desert was one of the best I ever had. This time the place should stick, despite a notoriously problematic landlord. We had a pleasant chat with the new proprietor and wished him very well. We were VERY impressed!"

"I have been eating at Nicks Italian Bar Grill for some years now. I went for lunch at the weekend with my partner. I booked in advance to secure a table as I know the restaurant is very popular. Both had a lovely 2 course meal and a couple of drinks. Meal was very reasonably priced and all staff were very welcoming and friendly. I will continue to come to Nicks Italian Bar Grill, keep up the good work!"

"The storehouse is a lovely pub /restaurant on the site of amble links Northumberland. We decided to go for a meal prior to ending our holiday on 4th April. Unfortunately l wasn't allowed to eat anything solid due to an operation I'd had two weeks earlier. My sister and her son had a lovely meal, l explained to staff that l would need to have something either blended (they didn't have a blender) so l chose mashed potato, soft vegetables which l could mash with a fork and gravy. The mashed potatoes were rubbery and the vegetables were far from soft so that put paid to my meal as l couldn't eat it. The girl serving was really lovely about situation but the men cooking in the kitchen should be ashamed of themselves. On a brighter note, my sister and her son enjoyed their meals. I can't understand why a kitchen wouldn't have a blender, I'm sure Gordon ramsay has one in his kitchen. Had they had one l would have been able to choose any meal."

"This pub claims to have vegan options but they did not have 2 of the options on their menu. I didn’t ask about the third, as ‘pretend’meat is not to my taste. I had a starter of falafel with hummus and it arrived without the hummus- so it was just 4 hummus balls (the Gosh brand available from Aldi and Tesco) on a bed of wilted rocket that had definitely seen better days. The only other vegan food available was chips and seasonal greens. The chips were fine but a tiny portion and the greens were kale which was pretty chewy. The 2 portions of chips, greens and falafel cost £16! Don’t claim to have vegan food if you don’t actually have it"

"Food very good, but not excellent. Some bone in the haddock pate, fish and chips with curry sauce very good, burger okay. Wish we didn 't have burgers on brioche, as the de facto. (Always find this option to be a little sickly. Service a little formal, and, on this occasion a little irritating. Asked for a bitter, and was told that we do things a little differently in Scotland; we have locally brewed ales . Since I have lived in Scotland for 18 years (I am English , and have often had locally-brewed bitters, I thought this comment to be a high-brow put down to an English tourist. Not a deal-breaker, just irritating. Overall, pretty good, but not outstanding."

"Food and cocktails are pricey but exceptional, absolutely delicious. This is a special place you go for a real treat, our second time and again didn't fail to deliver. The service was slow and we had to hunt/wave down a waiter at times to order a drink. No hesitation in recommending Olivia's and we would definitely return one day ."

"Always a beautiful venue. We were greeted at the door. Had drinks and chatted on the sofas. We had a lovely round table which is perfect for conversation. The food was lovely. The staff put a candle on my mums dessert for her birthday which made it special. Our only complaint was that it was cold!! One of our guests actually stood up and stood by the radiator between courses. I appreciate that the restaurant had been closed for two days and it takes a while for the building to warm up ... but it spoilt what was otherwise a lovely meal !"
