   Great lunch, freshly cooked. You order both drinks and food at the bar, fish and chips fresh, pies piping hot, crumble to die for. All reasonably priced with lunchtime options and wider menu. Opens at noon but staff still setting up and not the warmest welcome "menus are on that table over there" Great overall but maybe wait till 12.15/12.30.

   Overall we enjoyed our Christmas lunch as we always enjoy coming to the Barony. However it would have been good to know that the lamb was going to be so rare as I was unable to eat it, in fact it would have been good to have a choice of how it was going to be cooked. I know that might not be possible in a busy bar but not everyone is able to eat meat that is barely cooked, I know for some it is a delicacy, but definitely not to my taste. Sadly the brussels sprouts were barely cooked either, and literally crunchy, which was a shame. The starters and desserts were faultless, and the service and ambience were as usual really good.

   Great place for a pub lunch with a good selection of beers. The fish and chips was the best I've had in a long time. My friends had sandwiches and chips, which also looked great. Very reasonabley priced as well.

   We had made a booking for food and drinks on a Saturday night. When we got to the restaurant we were told that they couldn’t serve food because their chef was feeling ill, which is understandable but it would have been nice if we were emailed about it in advance or the booking had been cancelled. We were really hungry and tired and had to go look for another restaurant that could still fit us in. The staff didn’t seem very sorry about the situation.

   Not a good experience. We had some calamari for starters, it was totally overcooked. The same could be said for all the main courses. When the bar tender asked how the food was and we said not great he just shrugged his shoulders and said sorry to hear that. Certainly won’t be going back.

   Went as website suggested that it was a family friendly pub. Booked a table for 6 (2kids) at 5.30pm. Our table had been given away given another which was high barstools back to back with another table. Asked at the bar for menus, got pointed towards another table that had some. No kids menu so went back to ask for that. Was told they don’t do kids menu. I said that there was one on their website and was told that they don’t know why it’s on there and no control over the content. They were not in the least bit helpful so we left. Might be a great place for a drink but certainly not family friendly
