Since we were having a full on dinner we decided to sit in the dining area We had the mozzarella sticks to start, as well as the tattie (potato) and leek soup, followed by vegetarian burger and beef stew. We also tried a selection of local whisky. And we topped it off with the chocolate cake, ice-cream, cream, and sticky toffee dessert. The sticky toffee + cream combo was delicious, so leave some room for dessert!

We picked this one arbitrarily and were very happy with our decision. I had the fish and chips which I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. My husband had the steak pie and had a similar reaction. I had a pint of cider which went well with the greasy fish and chips. I would not hesitate again to eat here if in the area.

We went there today actually for the birthday lunch of two of our colleagues. Never been there…read morebefore. The food comes in big portions and it is tasty. The waiters are a bit slow, and they do not pay attention when you call them, but in general I had a good time. I had the bacon and chicken chiabatta, and I would have been very happy with it, if my bacon was crispy on its fat and it was a bit warmer. The chips served with it however, were really nice - makes a difference when almost everywhere in UK the chips are half fried... prices were more than ok happy to go back. Oh! I forgot to mention that it was packed during lunch time, and that made it a bit noisy, but bearable. It has very clean toilets, and they smell nice. Did not also like the fact that when I entered the place there was a dog inside where the bar area is...

The wine is lovely and there are real ales on tap. Through to the restaurant area, it is nicely decorated, warm and spacious with another fire. The service is attentive and friendly and the menu changes regularly and has lovely hearty food all at reasonable prices. I can particular recommend the burger - although the wedges are spicy! All in all, a lovely bar and restaurant, worth the drive out of town for. There is plenty of parking and it is kid friendly. I hope you like it as much as I do!

The 2-3 workers CRANKED and got us all fed while making us feel incredibly welcome even if they were obviously stressed. I thought it was odd that fish and chips wasn't on the menu but I'll disregard it because of their amazing selection of whiskey at pretty affordable prices, as well as some nice domestic beer options. The food was also good, which for me is saying something because most of the food I had in Scotland was generally flavorless and sad. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here (because you'd really be driving out of your way) but if you can swing it, make Mash Tun a stop.
