The Birkhill Inn

Took me 33 years to get to a high tea but it finally happened. Like there's something truly joyful about just getting unlimited amounts of white toast triangles brought out to butter up and indulge yerself in right before you have gammon and chips or whatever other Scottish pub classic takes your fancy that day (I actually had a veggie burger for those interested but there was gammon present at the table). And then you get cakes and tea!! Living the actual dream honestly. Anyway concept aside, the food was good and the place was lively and everyone had an excellent time. Couple veggie options (lasagna, burger, mac n cheese).

It's a clean and friendly place. Visited by a lot of the people who live in the village. They are known for the steak pie. Not pictured but ordered on this round wear the Ceasar salad (which looked delicious), the veg lasagna (which is a favorite), and the stuffed chicken which is a solid choice. I got the Mac n cheese and it was pretty good...better than I anticipated. Also pictured was a cheesecake. I heard good things.

Hadn't been for a while and the steak pie was as good as ever. Service was very quick and efficient, with all the the staff being very pleasant. Looking forward to a return trip. The bar area was nice to sit on a cold afternoon and the smell of the food definitely enticed me to come back. Steak pie as awesome as ever and chicken/black pudding so tender. Service very quick too

Didnt stay in the bnb but went to the restaurant. 1st time I had the steak it was cooked how I wanted, everything else was nice not greasy 👍 2nd time I had the burger cooked perfect and I tried the lasagna lacking tomato but was still very nice, atmosphere was nice n chilled 5* for the restaurant loved it, price was little steep but worth it. Location wasn't very well light so It was hard to navigate also entrence was confusing.

I would definitely try the Birkhill Inn for high tea. You will not be disappointed as you cannot beat the price for the value. It is a total result. I was not impressed with the main entree as it tasted like tomato soup instead of tomato sauce. However, there are many other options to choose from. Make sure to go with an empty stomach. This place is family friendly and has a decent, busy atmosphere. It was rather noisy when we were there so if it is a quiet restaurant you are looking for...this is not the place. The staff is friendly and the service was quick.
