The man who was at the front of house was very rude and shouted over us to the staff while we were sitting eating. We felt we were rushed to eat so he could get the table back and told us that we needed to put our order in so he could get the table back. Yes he did say on the phone when he took the booking that we had an hour and a half but by the time we put in our order & had starters we were rushing to eat our mains. The other staff were lovely but looked very rushed with him barking orders every 5mins.

Have just had a meal here today & I must say one of the best that we've had in a long time!!!
Staff very welcoming & not too long to wait for meal to arrive.
Both Chicken Fajitas & Roast Beef were delicious & our puddings were very tasty too!!
Highly recommend

Once again we had a wonderful meal and service (especially Mel) . Great food and portions, I couldn?t even manage pudding, (even with there being flake cheesecake). Look forward to coming back in the New year.

Stopped in by for an evening meal after a friend?s previous experience: Food is excellent, big portions and very reasonably priced. We were served by Mel very friend and welcoming, went through the menu and even advised us on a starter (King Prawn Pil Pil). Highly recommend stopping in by.

The 5 of us had great food and service once again. What seemed like two new female members of staff served us, and they were very, very pleasant, while finding their feet I think. Great to see The Ploughman so busy, as it always is - a good sign.

Lovely meal and staff very attentive. The roast beef was really nice and a very full plate. Hamish was very attentive as was the young newcomer. Nice atmosphere.

Haven?t been here for years and have to ask why not. Great menu, exceptional staff and lovely relaxed atmosphere. We were a table of eight so that?s a lot of work but everything came out together and just right. Generous portions too.

I have an eating disorder so I am very specific about what I eat, I am also autistic so get very uncomfortable with food at times. I ordered the roast beef without skirlie and my order was not listened to by either the wait staff or the kitchen and came with skirlie. This ruined my my meal and my day and also put a dampner on my mother's birthday dinner. While the owner took this off the bill the burger i ordered as a replacement was inedible, the service from start to finish was subpar. All this could have been avoided if they had just done their job correctly which was not hard. I highly recommend staying clear of this venue as they clearly do not know how to run an effective business that caters to a customers needs

We were lucky enough to get a table on a Friday night for our tea. We regularly eat at The Ploughman as it?s local to us, I was all set for having my usual Scampi as it?s the best in town until the special caught our attention, pan fried skin on cod served on a bed of cabbage, coriander sautéd potatoes, topped with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce, it was absolutely amazing. The presentation was outstanding, it was cooked beautifully and portion size was good, all for £18, I only wish I?d taken a picture. Staff and service perfect as always, thank you for a great evening.

We are a guest in Scotland from the US and our visit has been nothing but wonderful on our whole trip with the lovely Scot people and their hospitality. Today we stopped at the Ploughman for lunch. The big bald guy at the desk yelled at us, do you have reservations? We said no we are sorry he said sit here! The lovely table he offered was in a window in the front with sun beating down on us. We listened as everyone else came in he never asked do you have a reservation he just sat them. They were all Scots. He knew we were hot but he never tried to do anything to help. The food was mediocre and we could not wait to leave there. We will enjoy the rest of our trip and hope this guy has a better day.

I have visited The Ploughman many, many times, never had any cause to complain. This week was different. Four ladies of a certain age visited for lunch. The food was delicious, the drinks nicely served. But , at times, we felt we were invisible. We had to ask for drinks, ask to place our order after waiting some considerable time. Our meals took an exceptionally long time to be served (I do realise the restaurant was busy) and then we had to wait again to catch someone's eye to order coffees. Food was lovely, as always, but 'busy day " service needs to be addressed.

Food was really average but portion sizes terrible. Over £7 for 4 haggis Bon bons starter and just under £7 for 3 very poor bits of battered chicken goujons starter. The amount of chips that came with the burger was very poor and the bun had clearly been frozen then toasted as it was falling apart which is poor when paying £17 for a burger. Macaroni cheese was decent, good portion and sweet potato fries were really good. Sadly we waited far too long to get our starter and then even longer for our main. A table of 10 that ordered their meals when we were having our main course, both of their courses came out extremely fast so we can?t understand why we waited so long! Sadly we won?t be back.

Nice food, reasonably priced, friendly and helpful service. Organised a taxi to take us back to holiday park. Recommended
