Really loved this place, the food was excellent quality, the portion size was huge. The service and atmosphere was also very good. The restaurant does have a very atmospheric internal dining area, but also had some out door spaces that looked good as well. My recommendation is try the chips, the kitchen has them tasting like chip shop chips, much better than your usual restaurant chip, and the fillet tails. Definitely be back and would highly recommend to others
A lovely, quiet atmosphere. Delicious menu. The steak was impeccable. The sides and portions are the perfect size. Staff are polite and helpful.
My only criticism is they seem to have changed their house wine (though this was from a few years ago) and no longer offer Porterhouse cuts (which I and many of those who dine with me here miss terribly). I hope they'll re-introduce those one day.
Wonderful dining experience of a place from long ago. The food is 5 stars!
Try the raspberry mille fille and the Stilton salad... out of this world!
Pretty good all around. I had a 500 gram ribeye to myself. The only thing I could complain about is that there was an excess of charring on my steak which skewed the flavour slightly. They must have been running their grill slightly too hot. It was a bit pricey too. The meat quality was reasonable, but I have had better at a lower cost.
Just go. That really should be the sum total of this review.
If you like burgers and steak, in old Scottish farmhouse setting this is it. Doesn't really get much better. They rear all their own cattle and the meat tastes amazing. It's pretty simple menu but it's all good. The desserts are enormous. Be warned.
The coffee is, well, coffee so dinnae expect ah soya flat white or fash aboot gluten free options and ye'll be braw.
Don't eat breakfast, because you'll need an empty stomach to eat all those chips fried in lard.
I think you can tell I like this place. It's been 5 years since my last visit and it's just as good and nothing's changed. As it should be with something as perfect as this.
I see some other people say their steaks were sinewy or chewy. I had med-rare rib-eye and it was good. Yes the fat and connective tissue is hard to cut through, but that's par for the course unless you order a fillet. I wouldn't go past medium on the steaks as thats where they start to dry out. Especially near the thin bone end.
Amazing staff that are attentive and friendly. You may have to wait on occasion but lovely little area to sit down in and enjoy a drink in front of the fire before getting your table. The food is always delicious and the burgers are quite something and have never had anything but positive experiences over the years.
I have dined here many times and never had a negative experience at champney. I have had steak at restaurants up and down the UK and the champney will not be beaten.
I look forward to eating here again and again.
First class everytime.
After I visited this place I am considering adjusting my ranking to other restaurants as this place has it all if you like good steaks. Cooked to perfection a sirloin steak (ordered as to the chefs liking which was rare...bold...but he nailed it). Great ambiance and very friendly staff that take care of the tables. All at very reasonable prices.
Amazing views, a little pricy but worth every penny nice and secluded staff were really friendly food was prepared beautifully I had the sirloin steak and it was amazing it was 26pounds

It's always a pleasure to eat here. It's one of the best places in Scotland (probably the best) to have a steak. Kinda pricy, but worht it. It's a must if you're a meat lover.
