The Laird's Inn - Dumfries Galloway

I have had the most wonderful, peaceful evening here in the dog part of the pub. Just me and my pooch having dinner. It's warm, lovely music, and the food was superb. Really really superb. I often use a burger as a test of a pub, and this one was off the charts. Tasty, well cooked, generous. Absolutely lovely. Service was also brilliant. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Thank you for a lovely, quiet, peaceful, tasty evening. As a customer I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you..

After reading good reviews for Sunday carvery, we decided to try. Although it recommended booking, we took the chance and just called in. We were told if we ate straight away there was a table free. It wasn’t very full and the server took our orders immediately. We both had the carvery, I think that was the only food available, and ordered a 2 course lunch for our dog. We were the only 2 at the carvery, and the trays were well stocked. A member of staff carved your meat gave you a Yorkshire pudding, left us to help ourselves to a range of roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, carrots, cauliflower cheese, and some greens. Roast potatoes couldn’t be cut up as they were tough, mashed potatoes tasted powdery and the veg was a mixture of very hard or bendy! Very disappointing. Our dogs dinner came in a dog bowl, just a small carvery dinner he dived straight in and ate everything but the veg. I asked for his doggy ice cream 4 times before I actually received it. He did enjoy though when he eventually got it.

Went as family , on holiday in the area . Disappointed. Menu not brilliant, not a lot of choice- burgers over cooked. Child’s burger, not even slice of cheese( for what that would have cost) , pie alot of gravy. Crispy chicken not too bad. We expected it to be better, but it is what it is, a pub turning out reasonably priced poor food within the caravan park.

We visited this lovely pub 3 times in our weeks holiday, once for a drink and twice for dinner We had our dog with us and sat outside as the weather was lovely. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was very good. Our dog Stan had a special meal of “Sunday roast” meat potatoes and gravy in a dog bowl followed by doggy ice cream! Lovely venue would definitely recommend

We were stuck for something to eat as nothing in Newton Stewart seemed to be open, and we found Lairds Inn online. The menu looked good, so we quickly booked a table. Our satnav seemed to have difficulty getting us there, but a very helpful local gentleman got us back on track. It turns out the inn is in the middle of the Castle Cary holiday park, something that wasn't immediately obvious from their website. We finally arrived and had a fabulous meal, sitting outside in glorious sunshine. The barman,sorry we didn't get his name, was so welcoming and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. He is a definite asset to the establishment and seemed to be on the go continually. The food is reasonably priced and cooked to order. Our haddock and chips was lovely, light crispy batter, flaky fish and the chips were on another level! Our only regret was the portions were so generous we didn't have room for desert!
