Went here on a Friday night. Initially told there wasn't a table in the restaurant area, when we said we didn't want to eat in the bar one was made available. Food choice was reasonable. I had the fish and chips my husband had prawn and chorizo pasta. Both were nicely presented and consistent with the price we paid.

Went there expecting some hearty pub grub and ended up with a plate full of 'meh'. A banana split that was really bad and looked like it was made by a 3 year old. A caesar salad that looked and tasted like it was a couple of days old. It's a lovely place but the food standard needs to be... More

Good to try the Riccartonn Arms after its make over. Meal with friends was very enjoyable. Pleasant welcome, friendly efficient service and a good choice of pub grub staples. Wine choices good at reasonable prices. Food enjoyed by all. Only moan was that the pastry on my individual steak pie was absolutely flat - puff pastry with no puff. But... More

Having admired the new decor I was keen to try this pub as I had heard some good reports. I am glad to say that the food is excellent and they have done a really good job of doing up the pub. It was warm, friendly and welcoming. There were four of us and I can honestly say that although... More

This pub has been taken over by new management and has been recently refurbished. It looks great now and has a lovely welcoming atmosphere. We have eaten there several times this year and the menu has changed recently. It started as a gastro pub menu and has now gone back to a more pub grub type menu which is still... More

This pub has had a complete overhaul and has a lovely authentic Scottish country feel. I have been in to eat a number of times since the refurbishment and have been delighted with the service and meal each time. The new chefs are very talented and have replaced pub grub with inventive and delicious gastro pub quality dishes. The Riccarton... More

Read between the lines of other reviews!!I have now eaten in the pub over a dozen times and whilst it can be busy on the weekends the food is always excellent and the service first rate. The menu is first class and we enjoy it greatly.

As a bar this place is fine. For food its abysmal. Been coming for years and was always happy. Now under new management the only improvment has cosmetic. The food looks fancy, states of nothing lacking any quality to it. I've had better meals for 1/4 of the price in a cafe. Not had my meal as specified/ requested either... More

With limited choice of eatery around this area this is a great find. It offers a traditional pub grub menu without the fast food fare so often served these days. Hearty portions of fresh homemade food satisfied our group of adults, teenagers and a toddler. There is a varied choice on the children’s menu and high chairs are available. An... More
