Dined here with colleagues and all of us were very impressed throughout. A really warm welcome set the high standards that followed, and each course was a delight. A varied specials board with some interesting meat & fish dishes added to the choice of an already extensive menu. Casual and relaxed atmosphere and although quiet on a Thursday evening would...

My wife and I decided to have lunch at Cargills as we have had an evening meal there in the past and thought it was good,especially as somebody else paid. Unfortunately we did not have a lot of time due to my wife's doctor's appointment, but I must say the service was excellent . The waitress even apologised that our... More

Where this resurant fell down was despite asking the waiter to be aware I couldnt have milk he delivered a dish to our table prepared with milk and failed... More

I think because the onion rings were for your husband, the waiter didn't think - however, he absoloutely should have and you can be sure he has learned from his error. As you commented, he is a very genuine person and has been upset that this happened. I would like to offer my own personal apology that this should occur... More
