"I noticed. Mother for a tasty bite on Mother's Day. When we were there, we knew something was wrong. the place was very crowded and our table was not ready despite the booking. had to be in a loud bar for approx. 20 minutes wait before we were shown on our table in the restaurant section. after an hour waiting we finally got our meals, but they were all very warm! we were advised when we waited with almost an hour that there was a problem in the kitchen and they apologized. they should have told us a little earlier. all in all it was very disappointing! if we had not had gedint here before and always enjoyed our meal, we would not go back. we think that we will avoid this special day also in future! it was a shame that there were no Carvery selections on Sunday (instead of a special menu). I think they should have left the carvery at least, then we could have helped ourselves, which would hopefully have been much faster!"

Food was great. Lots of it. Could of done with more staff as only one waitress serving and a large table of 20 were in at same time as us so had to wait a while between courses to be attended to. There was a mix up with our desserts also but that was lack of communication between chef and waitress. Otherwise couldn't fault it.

overall the service was good, but the eating was averaged I ordered thai green chicken curry with rice the chicken consisted of a boiled chicken breast not cut and thrown over it in the curry, but a whole chicken breast with the alleged Thai green curry sauce, compared to it was our 45th year of the meal and the kind as it was presented was disappointing that it was there that was disappointing!

with the family to the mother's lunch. it was a catastrophic! false eating came out and it came out sporadically....for the first time after eating were finished. any food never arrived. my daughter is waiting for her makkaroni! I can tell positiw that the food that came out of the kitchen was good. it seemed to have been a massive melt in the kitchen. we asked to talk to the manager and received an apology and a discount.

Booked a table using Open Table advised when we arrived that they were fully booked and could only seat us in the bar area the closed off dining area being fully occupied. This was a Party Night and so we were subjected to a loud Disco playing totally ruining the evening. Art one point my companion asked the staff if the music could be turned down as the bar was virtually empty was told no. Later the sound was turned down slightly as another customer asked the DJ directly to turn it down. Small discount offered and the staff were generally sympathetic but the evening was ruined.

We had booked a table on hogmanay for or group of 8. On arrival we were told the chef he to leave the previous day and that no food was available !! The bar staff advised that all bookings had Been contacted to advise of this the previous day, however I hadn't received any phone call ? Due to making the booking on open table. However staff were excellent and allowed us to order a pizza takeaway and opened their conservstory to allow our party to eat in a less noisy environment. As it was hogmanay we could have eaten at another restaurant as they were all full. It was very disappointing but we made the most of a bad situation and can't thank the staff enough for their support

"Oh, what a day we had at The White House for my auntie’s 88th! It was pure magic, right from the off. The team there couldn’t have been more welcoming, making us all feel right at home in the heart of Scotland. Now, let’s gab about the food it was out of this world! We started with gluten free fish n chips, and let me tell you, it was as good as any chippy by the sea – crispy, golden, and just packed with flavor. The venison steak and beef short rib? Cooked just how you’d want them, tender and full of taste. The gluten free burgers were a hit too, so juicy and well seasoned. For pudding, we had these scoops of ice cream, smooth as you like, and an apple crunch cheesecake that was simply to die for. But it was our server, Anastasia, who really made our day. She was a wee star – always there with a smile, quick with a recommendation, and knew her menu inside out. I barely noticed our water bottle was empty, and whoosh, there she was with a full one. That’s service for you! The atmosphere in The White House was just as warm and inviting as you’d hope for. It felt like sitting in a cosy wee pub in the Highlands, with all the charm and friendliness you’d expect. So, if you’re ever in the mood for a meal that’s as satisfying as a wee dram on a cold night, head to The White House. It’s not just eating; it’s a proper Scottish experience, full of heart and soul"
