"okay, it was a sunny day so that a day was planned outside, but surely it was a bad day to eat this wetherspoon. Yeah, there's a pandemic, so they were probably short-time. we have allowed this, but not for the cold meal that was finally put before us. I had ordered a little haddock and chips. there were many cold chips and inherited, but the squid was reported missing. the part was so small that he had vanished into a little hard-boiled teig. the meal came together with a soft drink. I decided instead for tee. when my already cold meal was served, I was told that tee was self-service. No one led me where the machine was, and I finally had to ask another employee. Given the fact that everything was table service, due to covid restrictions, I found this aspekt, where everyone in the restaurant could use a touchscreen and use themselves, rather bizarre and off-putting. fortunately, I wear my own handsanitary! it's a long time since I last had a meal and if I'm ready to dine out again, I will certainly avoid wetherspoons!"

Good service and good beer, but food fairly mediocre. Disappointing as it was very quiet and little stress on the cooking team. Don't order the pasta!

I go on a Saturday at the henry bell any other week and eating is always a disappointment I know that this is not good eating, but at least boiled or not cooked over would be nice, the cook does not seem to understand the...Similarly so obviously the food team does not understand how to put or spend the menu. always a disappointment.

for a part of a national chain, the henry bell is a pretty decent pub restaurant. eating is what they expect, but it is well cooked and presented by helpful and efficient workers. ok, it is not good eating, but it is honest eating too. a very reasonable price. a good selection of drinks at a good price too. a good place for a drink or informal meal.

We popped in for a drink and walked passed at least three staff members only to be accosted by a rude young girl shouting at us to get out because they had too few staff members on duty place was half empty and few...of the staff standing blathering behind bar not busy in slightest. We were mortified! Just plain rude and unprofessional. She done same to poor wee pensioner who’d walked fair treck for a beer. Just no need. Will never go back. View menu

Came here with family for breakfast on Sunday morning 7 of us. Total disaster, two of us ordered scrambled egg on toast and had to send it back as eggs were cold? Two full fry ups came eggs cold and rest tepid? No butter came...with toast by time we got butter toast was cold! We had to ask twice when our fresh scrambled eggs on toast would be ready as rest of family finished theirs and ours still hadn’t came out. When it did it was hotter but obv not made fresh we felt it was microwaved My cranberry juice came with ice? Wasn’t proper cranberry juice I felt. Not great service or food and we won’t be back for breakfast as it was awful.

We tried to get in here last night, but I was told very rudely by the girl at the entrance they were full, I said we didn't mind waiting, but she said there's no point in waiting as they are too busy. After a few...minutes of debating I said we would just have a drink, but was told aggressively this time, NO! I explained I didn't mind waiting, but was continually told no. It was more her aggressive manor that annoyed me more than anything else. I think if people are going to deal with the public at the entrance to a restaurant, then they should know how to speak to people. This was a big let down for us, not because we didn't get in, just they way in which were treated. Thanks, Kevin

"On our last day here, killing time before the ferry, decided to try luncheon here. No expectations either way. And we were TOTALLY wowed it was just excellent. Trying not to put too many superlatives in this review, but it was really, really ace. We had a lovely table by the window overlooking the harbour where you could see dog walkers, children in wellies, crabbing, and little boats coming and going. Classic Islay. Then I have to mention the food. Jeez, it was top notch, and huuuuuuuge portions. I don’t think we’ve ever had four such consistently generous and fulfilling portions before. We had the scallops (massive, juicy, plentiful , the Crofter’s Platter, which was cheeses, hams, sausage rolls, salad, bread, chutneys; the soup massive bowl, loadsa crispy sourdough bread, and the fish and chips which was so big it draped over the plate! All delicious. Our guy, Andrew, was superb, so attentive and smiley and always bringing us more things, spoons, drinks, more bread, spoons, he was great. And we had a lovely chat with the very friendly and nice proprietor. She was wonderful. Really seemed to care about the place and her team. She told us all about the hotel and stuff it was really cool. We will most certainly come back here next time. You can’t necessarily get the best table every time, but we won’t mind if we don’t! : Oh, also, lovely clean loos!"
