Had a lovely afternoon with family and friends, cocktails were so good. Good portions sizes, steak sandwich was delicious. Food came out piping hot. Will be back again, nice to see the new update to the restaurant and garden, maybe just need to put some cushions down as sitting on bench s are sore on the bottoms.

Nice friendly staff but food hugely disappointing. It had zero flavour and the turkey was especially salty. Zero atmosphere too.

I visited with my daughter for dinner. The service was good and the staff were attentive. The food was average, my daughters burger was over cooked and my pastry for my pie was under cooked. Reasonably priced.

Super nice ppl. We ordered Butter chicken and fish and chips. Both were so delicious that we came back the next night. I got the butter chicken again, it was THAT GOOD and the hubs ogt mac and cheese. Everything was made from scratch. This was our last 2 dinners before returning to the US. We were staying at a 5 star resort with plenty of restaurant choices on site. But the reviews were too varied to justify spending $100 on a potentially lousy meal. So we went off site and are so glad we did. Again, we went back the 2nd night, knowing the food would be the best. We spent a week in London, a week in Edinburgh and our last 2 nights on Loch Lomond. These 2 meals were in the top 3 of our trip. And we took the liberty to try EVERYTHING in all 3 places. The food in London was great, also in Edinburgh but this tiny little unassuming place put the cherry on the top of our 2 week trip to the UK. If we ever go back to Loch Lomond, we will def stop here. Don't let the fact that it's attached to a little hotel and beer hall. The chef has been there for yrs and is a hidden treasure. If i were him i would look for a Michelin star restaurant to work in but The Lomond Park Hotel is the winner with this guy.
