The Scotch Pine Inn

Clive Warburton

Went there on Saturday (12/07/14), the decor is very dated and we were greeted with a frosty welcome and it wasn't the wet windy weather outside. We were a party of 20 and has the room together. My wife ordered the chicken curry with chips. We were also entitled to a trip to the salad cart. When my wife's food came all looked ok, it was a good sized portion. However on tasting my wife did not like the curry, the re was a funny taste and tangy aftertaste. I took the meal back and advised the older lady behind the car the meal was not nice and she replied "we have served this for 17 years and been serving that night with no complaints" I advised I had tasted it as well as my mother and we all agreed it did not taste right. The plate was snatched away from me, no offer of my wife having a replacement meal was made and she did not return to the bar in the room for around 20 minutes. The salad cart was basic, with most of the items almost run out. With reference to the curry, i wonder if it was one of the original batches made 17 years ago. I am no snob but would expect a level of customer service to the paying customer and had that been me dealing with the complaint for my business i would have been apologetic the food was not nice and not defensive over how long it had been on the menu. Maybe it is time you considered revising your menu Mrs Scotch Pines.

A lovely family run pub! (which seems to be a thing of the past these days) Excellent value for money as portion sizes were generous. A beautiful location with stunning views across the valley. This is a pub, therefore waitress service is not available for drinks, so if you sit on your bum the drinks wont come!

the food service on the recent saturday night that we attended as a party was excellent, but if it wasnt for the middle aged waitress with short dark hair, we would still be waiting for our drinks
