Blair Castle Tullibardine Restaurant

Lovely setting, obviously. Service not great, and confused at times. Felt a little like we were being told off for ordering a meal and asking what came with it. Gravy turns out to be scooped out from the sausage casserole!

Just hated it, poor lay out, poor food and service. The scone was the poorest quality. Furniture hard. Service slow and dull. Best avoided.

We stopped here for a cold drink and a yummy cream cake after wandering round the castle and grounds. There are seats inside and out and was quiet as it was after lunch. the menu was full of sweet and savoury items but the cream cakes stood out as the most attractive thing at the time. The staff member was very friendly and we enjoyed watching a peacock strutting around the outside area whilst having our food.

The restaurant looks relatively new and moderately bright and on sunny days there is a pleasant terrace. The food, however, disappointed. The hot food under the heating lamps looked dry and over cooked while the cakes hardly appealed. I will say that the shortbread was fine. Coffees were poor. Service was slow and at times staff were missing from the cash desk. No sign of managers.

The restaurant is set up cafeteria style for quick access to food and drink. It works well for the bus groups. Nothing special but convenient.
