I visited Them Out for lunch with a friend. We thoroughly enjoy the lovely food,great service and friendliness of all the staff The "pensioners selection" is excellent value for money and the food is delicious

My husband and I went out ad hoc for the day as it was our anniversary. I haven't been well so we didn't book anywhere to eat as we weren't sure if I would be able to go out. Hence we were dressed in our everyday comfy attire and was just looking for a pub tea somewhere. On our way home we stumbled on Kildrummy Inn which looked very nice but still expected it to be an ordinary run hotel. We walked in to find the most beautiful restaurant in an hotel and were greeted so warmly as if dressed like the other guests whom at all made an effort.. From that moment on the experience grew. The host I think named David showed us through to a beautiful warm fire, it was freezing, then took our drinks order, which came with the most delicious complimentary nibbles, he also spent a long answering all my husbands questions about the Inn. He took our order and I mentioned I normally had a Diane Sauce with my steak, which wasn't on the menu, "No problem Madam, our Chef would be happy to make that for you". Can I say I have never had a nicer Diane Sauce, the whole meal and every member of staff could not have made our visit more attentive or special. During our meal after our starter we had a surprise complimentary tomato consume, again delicious. We came to realised the restaurant is normally well booked in advance but we couldn't have been luckier as there was a last minute cancellation, so be aware a booking in advance is normally required. If your in the area or happy to travel a wee bit please don't miss out on this experience. Yes a bit more expensive than an ordinary pub lunch but we have paid more for a less superior meal or experience in other locations, hence worth every penny. Please take the opportunity to frequent, you will not be disappointed both the food and drinks choices are excellent and you will leave having had a guaranteed very special evening.

Amazing food with the highlight the lamb shank my husband had. He wants to come back tomorrow!! Momo and samosa starter were lovely and the complimentary sweet and chilli potato snack was a delight.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere. Very friendly staff and excellent service. Probably one of the best burgers I've had in the UK, my son had the same burger and agreed it was one of the best.

This is one of best coffee shops I have known. It's such a shame that it's taken me 72 years to discover it. Great coffee and delicious food. The bacon rolls are gigantic.

Great food, atmosphere and reasonably priced for a 2 course Sunday carvery. Staff were great with us too, another good experience here

Lovely Bistro with a great menu for gluten free options. The cakes are always delicious. It’s friendly staff always make you feel special so we keep going back. It’s local and inexpensive with a laid back atmosphere.

The visit we had to here was lovely! Atmosphere was amazing. The servers and locals were very nice. The food and drink you could not fault. Definitely making this a fav spot

Lovely friendly coffee shop with excellent food. Quality teas also available. Superb atmosphere. Right next to the small harbour with good parking

Sit in or take-away this is an excellent restaurant for those with a palate for spice. Also very, very friendly service, always feel valued as a customer.

Thank you for catering so well for gluten free. Gluten free cones and a lot of effort to avoid cross contamination. Done with a smile and no problem. Tubs don't cut it really (usual option for us gluten free folks) so to leave with a cone and a smile, just like other people, is fabulous.

Fantastic food and service. Staff apologised because there was a large group of lads, noisy but they were behaving. Will definitely be back.

Excellent donuts, fantastic coffee and very warm welcome. The place was busy with cyclists refuelling: soup smelled delicious. Our treats were so good we went back to buy more to take home for breakfast!

Food was amazing, highly recommend getting the soup of the day! Lovely staff and so many options, will definitely be coming back to enjoy the bar options.
