Park Bistro - West Lothian

The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and accommodating, so despite the busy atmosphere, we didn't mind sitting outside in the sun. Unfortunately, they had run out of hummus for the salad, so we settled for the vegan superfood salad and a Madeira sandwich instead. Our food arrived quickly in takeaway boxes, and while it was tasty, we found the portion sizes to be quite small. This, coupled with the high prices, left us feeling like we had overpaid for a very modest lunch. In the end, we spent £27, including drinks, for what felt like a meager amount of food.

We tied up our canal narrow boat at the mooring and made it close to last orders. A wide ranging menu, good portions, fair prices and quick service. It is set in a delightful location next to the Union Canal. The bistro is spacious and an interesting design and decor. It has a fascinating and very large 'map ' painting of the general area. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the local 'Narrow Boat ' IPA.

Decided to give the park bistro another try. We had the steak pie which I thought would have been served with potatoes not chips. Sea bass which was nice and plentiful. My husband had the Caesar salad which was served flat on a plate with thick rivers of of cream running over it. Very unusual. Chips were nice. Coffee was good. Service was excellent.

Took a grand niece who was visiting from Australia for Sunday breakfast . She works in hospitality so I thought an ideal place to show her a Scottish breakfast. The service was very attentive but sadly the food and the coffee left a lot to be desired I certainly won’t be taking any more visitors or visiting myself again. Shame as set in an ideal place to show off local scenery.

We have been loyal customers of Park Bistro since the lockdown was lifted. The coffee, food, and service have always been consistently good... until recently. During our last two visits, there were delays in receiving our food and items were missing. Additionally, the original order arrived cold. Perhaps there are new staff members in training, but this has now happened twice in the past two months.
