Absolutely delighted to find this hidden gem. The hotel, bar and restaurant are impeccably clean, staff are friendly, welcoming and very attentive. The one meal I ate there surpassed my expectations, the mini terrine of soup (which was complimentary) was to die for. My lamb was cooked to perfection and the meal on the whole was 5* and very reasonably priced. I can't wait to go again.
Lovely food, very good value and lots of little extra touches like baskets of breads and fresh butter, home made shortbread to finish.
Beef bourg was absolutely fabulous and delicious home made desserts.
Definitely recommend.
What an incredibly well kept secret this lovely restaurant is. Have just enjoyed one of the very best Sunday lunches ever, the service and food were impeccable and it's excellent value for money too. Cannot recommend highly enough, thank you everyone!

On arriving , we have always received a polite , cheerful greeting from the Staff , who swiftly showed us to our table. The decor & layout are pleasant - we feel like we are on holiday when we visit McKee`s.
The food is gorgeous , nicely cooked & presented , with speedy service by polite , hard working Staff .
Today we took our Friends from Derbyshire for lunch at McKee`s , our Friends eat at the Taphouse , Smisby , which is excellent , so we were eager to hear what they thought of McKee`s. They were both delighted at the attentiveness of Staff , & at the lovely food they ate here today . Extra touches at McKee`s make all the difference : We decided upon 3 courses ( £20.20 ) , but ended up receiving some surprise extras ! before our starters arrived , we were served breads , Balsamic vinegar & Olive oil , then mini fruit tureens . After our delicious mains & desserts , we ordered coffees / teas & received some appealing mini shortbreads / cakes which
tasted home made , just the right amount . Our Friends were super impressed by this . All the food was absolutely gorgeous & the service was so attentive - the Staff intuitively know to ask when more dishes / drinks are needed. My Mate & I were thrilled that we could have zero alcohol Guinness as we were both driving - a nice drink , much more like proper beer than other zero alcohol beers.
Meeting our old Friends at McKees really made our week & was the basis for a great day out .
Some weeks ago when we had a delicious Breakfast at McKee`s , we were as impressed as ever , & were able to swap items from the menu according to our preferences.
Thank you so much to everyone at McKee`s , for such a great service - polite , efficient Staff , glorious food , delightful venue ( the garden is lovely , too ! ) , obviously a popular venue , the ambience is wonderful . The prices are so reasonable , considering all of the things mentioned . All of these features are often lacking in many establishments so McKee`s stands head & shoulders above.
Haigs Hotel and McKees Brasseries is a family business that never fales to impress, with a great and reasonably priced menu offering 2 and 3 course meals, and to be able to end the night by going to our room and having a good nights sleep, thank you for a great night.
We were a party of 19, food and service was excellent
The food here is absolutely beautiful and the menu is always changing, so its a nice surprise. You really can't grumble as its such good value.
We've been to a couple of their event nights which are slightly more expensive but not much and again food is fantastic.
On top of that the staff are always exceptionally pleasant.
Its now my favourite place for dining out. Even during Covid they've offered a takeaway service which again is really good value.
This was our first time at haigs, and on entering I did notice large paintings on a yellow wall and every painting was crooked I wanted to go round and adjust them all. The decor needs some work but we were here for the food so that's me just being picky, we ordered two lagers both we're cloudy and I thought here we go another place to avoid. But the staff were happy to replace them, and as for the food I couldn't fault it lovely food great staff we're definitely going back. It's so hard to find a good restaurant on your doorstep and now we have, keep up the good work guys.
McKee's Brasserie is a nice looking restaurant with very friendly, attentive staff. They have a large menu with monthly specialities as well as a chef’s special (one note, I couldn’t find any chocolate on the dessert menu).
We received a free appetizer to start the evening off, which was a nice touch, as well as a couple of bread rolls (with olive oil not butter but it could be requested). The starters, a pate dish and a tomato + oregano soup, were very good. The mains, a duck dish and a steak dish, were even better. I have never seen so much duck on one plate and it tasted excellent and the steak appeared to look a little thin but it was cooked exactly as I requested. We particularly liked the cabbage that was part of the vegetable side dish. The only criticism was that a steak knife was not automatically offered with the steak dish (a very minor flaw).
The desserts were not so good. The apple pie crust was a little overdone and the apple filling was brown in places. The crepe that I ordered had too much sauce, completely hiding the taste of the crepe.
Overall, a very good experience which I am looking forward to repeating, in spite of the desserts.
What a great little find. Staff were really pleasant, room was ideal, clean and well looked after. We ate here too and the food was absolutely delicious. The hotel has a relaxed feel to it, yet staff remained professional. For the price, this place was excellent and we will definitely rebook if we are in the area again.
