Blair Castle Tullibardine Restaurant

Restaurant was closed. Alternative provision was a coffee van near the car park. The barrister seemed to be operating at half-speed. Perhaps the cold had got to him.

Very short staffed, long queues, little choice, overpriced. Been before but will not be rushing back.

I know that there are pressure on the hospitality sector currently but the restaurant here was all poorly staffed. One person seemed to be staffing the hot drinks, tills and very thing else for a large queue of customers, and was frequently then leaving the tills unmanned, and getting orders wrong. In the end I gave up and left the queue.

Initially I loved the look of the haggis and pork sausage roll. Plenty of content, thin pastry, lovely. But on eating it, I felt disappointed. It had obviously been kept warm for quite a while, and the base was too hard. A bit strange as I chose it just after 12:00 when they started selling food. Fiendly staff

We have visited a number of castle restaurants on our travels and often leave great reviews. It’s always lovely to sit in the cafe after a castle tour and enjoy good home cooked food. I left feeling very deflated from our visit. It feels like trying to be too fancy and failing miserably. No kids menu and although the menu selection for adults looks ok it really wasn’t on the day we visited. I had curried beef on potato wedges. The curry was dried out on top of an over crisped half of a baked potato. It was also cold. Stone cold. I asked for it to be heated up and the server seemed taken aback. It was heated up and the tray of other curried wedges swiftly removed! Really disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend.
