Lovely starters husband had a delicious steak..desserts were awesome..however what happened to the order of steak pie..I was served an awful stew with two little rounds of puff pastry, which had clearly not been cooked with the meat was utterly revolting and did not constitute a steak pie ..utterly disappointed...everything else was great but my meal was appalling. Won't be back!

Typical pub, in good location.
Standard food menu but great value and quality.

Popular centrepoint for the large rural area round about, and well-known even in the town of Livingstone some distance away. About half a dozen draught beers including Asahi and Belhaven Best. Large menu of upmarket pub favourites, fairly typical of a country inn. Service is acceptably brisk and efficient. Livingstone Inn is an enormous building, and has a large bar area with a choice of wooden chairs or sofa seats to sink into. Unobtrusive soft rock in the background, Black Velvet style. The addition of bedrooms could make it ideal for exploring the myriad and splendid countryside walks (and cycle paths) with forests gorges and the heritage centre a short walk away (waitress said all the rooms are contract and not available to the public ? yet I found some on the popular booking site.) Kitchen and bar is from midday to mid-evening.
The adjacent ?village? comprises the Inn, a trendy barbershop with a beauty salon on one side and a cafe on the other. That?s it. (Though apparently there?s also a post-office somewhere.)
I went for lunch, mid-week. I was more than satisfied with what I felt was an above-average chicken & bacon salad.
Minor criticism is that the staff seemed a bit rushed off their feet, even with just a handful of customers.

If I had known the food would arrive this late, I would have ordered it when I left Manchester

Slow service. The waiting staff walk around in a daze and are not pro-active enough. We had to ask for coffee. Never even got asked when they were clearing away if everything was ok or if we wanted to see the dessert menu! Won?t be back! Another restaurant let down by the staffs? lack of interest in the customers!

Food is good and at reasonable prices. Staff are very friendly and efficient. Pleasant outdoor areas to eat and drink.

Food was great, staff were excellent! Very accommodating to dietary requirements (dairy and gluten allergy) with a gluten free bun provided with the burger! Staff went absolutely above and beyond with their service, highly recommend!!

Service was shocking!!!
We booked a table for 12 people to celebrate my aunties 80th, we knew before we arrived we had to leave by a certain time which we had no issue with , during the 2 hours we were there we were told 6 times how long we had left which rushed us out the door
It felt like we were a burden on the staff, everything we asked for was met with a huff and they were all standing talking about what we had asked them to do !!
None of our party was rude or disrespectful to them we all ordered starters and mains and multiple rounds of drinks and this was met with poor service.
My auntie who is 80 was sitting in a comfortable chair at the end of our table to which we were told we had to give the seat back at half 4 again we had no issue with this at all but they came and asked her at 3:45 to move to a bench seat which with her disabilities she would not have been able to do, when we asked if there was another seat for her to sit on we were told no and that we were told we only had 3 proper seats. There was a wedding on next door and the staff were clearly under stress but we are paying customers and all we wanted was to have a nice meal in my aunties favourite place.
I just found the whole day very disappointing, we come to the livi inn very often and have done for years but after today we will certainly not be back.

Family lunch at a weekend. Menu is very large therefore not much is cooked on site. Nothing fresh, seasonal or local.
Too typical of poor Scottish pub cuisine.
Very cheerful staff however. My steak pie was very bland.
