"Hello, after thinking about this, I do feel justified to contact you to explain how I feel. Yesterday we came in for lunch and this being a lunchtime treat for my daughter her husband and my grandson, we frequent lovely restaurants and pubs to delight in good locally sourced and freshly cooked food. However, I am sorry to say we left bitterly disappointed and at a very heavy price, now before you think ‘these people aren’t used to paying for good food’ yes we are, but, to charge us £185.00 for our lunch when, I had roast pork, my daughter had roast beef and then there was 2 American burgers … 1) The burgers came with plastic cheese and a few shreds of cabbage and the fries were hardly home cooked chips but instead a handful of frozen ones … 2) My daughter had 2 slices of beef, both of which were full of gristle … She had HALF a Carrot and HALF a Parsnip !! a teaspoon of creamed leeks and likewise for cabbage, the roast potatoes were dry and hard, all obviously pre cooked. 3) I had the pork, the roast potatoes were as above and low and behold, I had HALF a Carrot and HALF a Parsnip, no brains needed to work out that between my daughter and I we had one carrot and one parsnip between us The same applies to to the vegetables, I must however compliment you on the Yorkshire pudding. 4) The ice cream choice … one tiny scoop 5) £20 discretionary service charge was added and yet not one smile came out of any of the faces of our waiting staff in fact the young girl who took our order looked liked she’d rather of been anywhere except at work and us deciding on a menu choice to her was obviously a complete hindrance! We have ate and paid for many meals lunches and suppers out at various locations but yesterdays experience sadly was a bitter disappointment and at a huge cost nearly £200 for poor meat ridiculous vegetables and surly staff. We have ate at The Lamb and Beckford Arms many times but thought we’d try yourselves. The very sad situation is I wrote this and sent it privately so the pub could have the chance to respond however I heard nothing so I sent a message again privately to ask if someone would respond nothing I then rang the pub and actually spoke to the manager I was told they’d get back to me Nothing!"

"Genuinely couldn't fault the experience. When I heard that the Drouthy had a new menu focusing more on a veggie and vegan base, I knew I had to give it a whirl. The starter of hot Smoked salmon with lemon creme fraiche and oatcakes was simple yet packed full of flavour. I could have easily have had 10 plates of that and been happy to give it 5 stars. My partner had the smoked duck and even though I have given up meat, I was salivating at the look of their dish. They assure me that it was as delicious as it looked. Served with lavender roasted potatoes (which I'm told were amazing and charred salsify. The mains were more than a match for the brilliant starters. If I could give one piece of advice, it would be get the beetroot risotto. Not being a massive fan of beetroot, I wasn't too sure about it. But the incredibly warm waiter (for my son's, I never got his name. I only hope he can forgive me if he reads this! assured me it was tasty. He was not wrong. Beautifully cooked vegan risotto with balsamic beetroot chunks, shiitake mushrooms and rocket, it was simply divine. WHEN I go back, I'll be hard pressed to go for anything else because it was so delicious. It was creamy, packed full of flavour and cooked absolutely perfectly. Just the right amount of bite, nowhere near being mush like you get in a lot of other places (who charge a lot more, by the way . Superb. The highest of compliments to the chef. I was so taken by my dish I forgot to ask how my partner's was until I had eaten all of mine. But their home made vegan tagliatelle had disappeared from the plate so it must have been amazing. I couldn't handle dessert so had a delicious ruby port (delaforce I think it was called , and I would also like to give credit to whoever came up with their wine list. It covered every single base and no-one could ever be disappointed. Finally, if you're ever in Elgin, please make sure this is one of your destinations. You will leave extremely happy."
