Harden's says
Pub/restaurant with rooms, in a 500-year-old listed inn (once Robert Burns' local) restored in 2017 by local chef-restaurateur Robert 'Rab' Macaleese
Harden's survey result
Summary
This “really excellent and ambitious gastro-pub” (which, legend has it, once gave shelter to Robbie Burns) wins high praise for the “clever” realisation of its restaurant-style menu, where a variety of quality, dry-aged steaks sits alongside a number of more “complex” options.
Summary
“Excellent, exciting, impeccable” – chef-owner Robert Macaleese, who took over in 2017, has transformed the fortunes of this 500-year-old inn, just off the A76 trunk road north of Dumfries (where national bard Rabbie Burns once reputedly took shelter). Fans tip it “especially for Belted Galloway steak” (BG being a fine local cattle breed).
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
