Have been visiting the area on an annual basis and always tried to take lunch in The Bothy Bistro because the food was so good. The place has had a makeover and must have changed hands? The changes in the kitchen are a real concern....The helpings are small and the food is very average. My focaccia and my wife’s bruschetta were identical pieces of toasted white bread dowsed in butter but with no other flavouring whatsoever. The diner next to us was complaining about the chowder as we left. My advice…change your chef and serve bigger portions.More

We have been coming to The Bothy for a few years now, it's our destination on a day out after walk along from Roseisle. We went yesterday with our dog and were directed round the block to the rear entrance. There were no parasols over...the tables or shelter from the elements. The menu looked revamped and we were pleased to see seafood available. We were happy to pay a little bit more for fresh seafood but I'm unfortnately we felt disappointed in what you get for your money. When you order a burger, that's what you get, no fries or salad garnish. You had to pay more for additional fries. We bought two portions of whitebate due to dietary restrictions for the sauce and although the waitress was very attentive to our needs, the portions were bulked out with salad??? In most restaurants when you order whitebate one potion is generous enough to share. Tea pot held tea enough for only one cup, I always feel this is a true measure of an establishment. Waitresses lovely, kitchen staff lovely. We got to know them sitting out the back, as they went to and from the stores. £87 for three lunches, a bit steep.Sadly I feel they are targeting the tourist market. Can't comment on the décor cos we didn't see it!More

This is a lovely restaurant. Really unexpected in this little (off the track) area. The food is gorgeous and the decor is really original and works very well. I just have two comments, there were quite a lot of flies coming in and where I...was sat the sun was right in my eyes, I literally had to wear sunglasses inside, and still couldn’t lift my head. Personally I felt those two things should have been addressed but the staff didn’t seem to worry. I would have scored this a 5 if it hadn’t been for those two facts. Perhaps a different table and it would be perfect.More

Excellent food and service, dinner for 8 of us this evening and all meals were lovely. Highly recommend! The venison, fillet steak, crab and burgers were all great.

Visited with my wife and we ordered mussels and steak with side order of spicy crab fries. Fantastic food perfectly cooked and good service.

We came for lunch for two.... after the refurb after Covid the menu has changed...before it was more of a cafe and now the focus is more bistro... I think the lunch and evening menu are the same now? We both chose the scotch egg...(we only got 1/2 scotch egg so need to amend their menu to 1/2) which was nice but at a small 1/2 at £7 it does seem overpriced. Luckily we bought at £4 each some fries which were delicious but small portion. I am and always have been a big fan of the bothy but I think they have the lunch/mood/price/choice wrong for our local area and these times... we won’t be coming back for lunch at the moment...sorry love the bothy but don’t think they have the day time mood right but time will tell xxMore

So glad you are back! Bootleggers was a lifesaver during lockdown but The Bothy is definitely warmer! We arrived at 8.30pm to a lovely welcome. Cocktails were fab. Wine was even better. The venison chateaubriand was so tender and sides were great. To have such...a special restaurant on our doorstep is a real treat. It's been a pleasure to support you during lockdown at bootleggers. Keep up all your hardwork xMore
