    Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at the Grouse and Ale. Food was delicious, staff were really friendly and service was great. We arrived an hour earlier by mistake and they accommodated us. We’ll be back very soon.

    We booked a table easily, they were super busy when we arrived, we did wait over an hour for our food but I could forgive this as we could visibly see they were so busy and they were very apologetic about it. Great food, really tasty and good portion sizes. We’ve been there a few times before and great every time! Thanks very much!

    We went camping nearby recently and booked for ~30 people (children and adults). The team managed us well, were very organised, and served great food and drinks (popular choices were pizza, fish and chips and chicken Milanese!). Highly recommend
