The Castle Cafe

Ran into this little café for a brunch. Ordered the Scottish breakfast for less than 8 pounds. Very large portion with haggis, black pudding, potato scones, ham, bacon, egg, tea, toasts. Everything tasted quite good and the owner was very friendly. I was very full and would say this place was good for the price.

Myself and my friends ducked into this little place after visiting the castle. While they were out of a few items on the menu, the food that they did prepare was good! Everything is very simple, so don’t go in expecting a three course meal, but for the money, it was great!
Also, as we’re traveling in a group, it’s been a battle trying to pay on separate checks. We were able to easily do so here. That in itself is worth a star!

Gee whizz! This place has got to be joking. They just served me a mince and tatties microwaved ready meal. Absolutely staggering.
Words fail me. Well, one springs to mind: avoid.

there should be well more reviews about this quirky little café near the castle! I came with a few people and they seated us all and the man serving us was a right laugh! The only annoying thing was, they’d run out of chicken salad so I just had a vegetable soup instead! Tasty!

What a fantastic surprise! Shona helped me with the menu and was an absolute joy to talk to about Scottish food. I had the haggis with neeps and tatties and it was all amazing. She also sent a Scottish pie with me as I was interested in trying that as well. My family and I were able to sample it that evening (wonderful) and I would also recommend trying that. I was very fortunate that I went for lunch a bit after 2 in the afternoon in late November, so it was relatively quiet inside, and Shona and I had great conversation about travelling in the United States as well as cultural differences between the States and Scotland. Please take my advice and visit this place for a great Scottish meal with great service and conversation!!!
