We found this place coming off the cruise ship and talking with a couple of the security workers at the port. We asked them, "Where would you go to lunch that's within walking distance of the port?" The two of them thought briefly and said "Tail O' The Bank" with a wonderful Scottish accent thick enough our American ears could barely decipher it. But we got it sorted and had a nice stroll to the restaurant.
We ordered at the bar, "Two orders of fish and chips" and then we were all confused, patrons and bar tender when we said we did want "peas". We didn't know what it was and the lady behind the bar couldn't understand why we didn't want them. It was great; I love cultural confusion! I told her our table number and after a short while the best beer battered fish and chips we've ever had arrived and we enjoyed it immensely. It was one of our touchstone moments of our brief time in Scotland. And the prices were very reasonable!
Wishing you all the best from the States!
Lovely breakfast this morning!
First time in for breakfast which is served until noon.
The vegetarian full cooked was tasty and a good sized portion.
However the Breakfast in Bread surpassed expectation. It was a grand portion and was delicious!
Will be back.
My sister and I went for lunch on 11/10 as it was her birthday, we both decided on the steak and ale pie, chips and peas. The meal came and all was well till we were trying to cut the pie, the pastry was very hard and difficult to cut my first bit ended up on the floor. We did both enjoy the flavour of it though. A little less pastry and a bit more meat wouldn't go a miss, thankfully we were given a small jug of gravy each which helped or it may have been very dry.
Have used before and will come back.
We visited before attending the Architects of air at the Beacon arts center. Managed to seat us even though we never had a booking. Host was kind and polite. Food came out pretty quickly, decent sized portions and price. Will for sure visit again if we have the chance ☺️🍴
Great wee place .. regular here every Saturday
Recommended the Mixed grill
Come here often and never had a bad meal . Definitely value for moneys😊
Great place. Food is excellent and service is great. Staff are very efficient which is just as well considering they're are so few of them. Management obviously looking to maximise profits but the staff dealt with a busy period very well despite being constantly in demand.
Great location and plenty seating areas. All areas including the toilets are very clean. The menu is varied and reasonably priced. The food is extremely tasty and no lengthy waits. Staff are pleasant and professional. I visit often due to all of the aforementioned. 😊
1st time here order was mixed up but it was sorted promptly food was delicious I went here because friend recommended it and it didn't dissappiont us
Nice place to relax and have a meal. Usual menu you're likely to find in wetherspoons which I personally feels a bit outdated. Understand the importance of a select menu but it wouldn't do any harm to change the menu once a month or so.
Friday teatime visit, can't fault the food and the deals for the price...even better when using Tesco vouchers as part payment lol!
Staff very pleasant and helpful
