    I had a table booked that included my two teenagers, at 7pm for a meal - we were met by the doorman who was very dismissive of us, who continued to question our legitimacy of a booking, was insisting on ID from my kids - once he eventually escorted us in we were then met by an equally dismissive waiter who even once confirmed our booking, never even showed us to our table but nearly just pointed to a table on the corner right by the entrance. Honestly was made to feel like we were just a burden and just tucked out of the way - not the welcome I was hoping for, it really tainted the rest of our night.

    Dear Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your visit did not meet expectations and that you felt unwelcome upon arrival. This is certainly not the standard of hospitality we strive to provide, and we take your feedback very seriously. We would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly and hopefully restore your confidence in us. Please email us at huxmanagement@signaturepubscouk Warm regards, The Huxley

    The haggis fries are a good choice! An excellent view if you can get the table overlooking the castle.

    We visited at last nah time. Lovely decor and great food. Staff were very friendly but service was a little slow, not a place to go if you’re in a rush. It was also really cold inside- had to keep our coats on!

    We ate breakfast there and the food was good (had salmon benedict). The service was a little slow and the seat by the window was hot (there was a fly). Since the food was good we came back for dinner on another day. The Mac and Cheese and burger were swimming in an unappetizing cheese (maybe this is the Scottish way?) Service was a little slow again. Since it was relatively expensive, I would not return. It wasn't bad, but not a good value.
