    The sandwiches were hard. Also noticed the salmon sandwiches were not replaced at all for the full hour so I would expect these to be very hard. The sandwiches we both picked were hard on one side. The sliders were the only thing that wasn’t stale apart from the part where it had been cut. The service was non existent. Had to ask for our cocktails after sitting for half an hour. The tartlet were the only thing that was nice the cakes were poor again every cake had a dry end. Definitely not good value and for being a big hotel chain. Very very poor

    2nd visit. The food was very nice and plenty of choice of savouries as well as cakes. Lovely waiting staff of which the bar staff could learn from. After 10 mins of being ignored at the bar while waiting to order cocktails and eventually giving up,the Ladies who attended to our table in the Afternoon Tea room were so helpful.Checking we had enough tea and coffee and polite and friendly. Very enjoyable food and relaxed atmosphere and have recommended to friends and family.Very good value and plenty to eat.

    Lovely hotel but food wasn’t anything special and there was only one savoury tart and 2 sandwich fillings suitable for vegetarians which was disappointing. Been a few times over the years and it’s definitely went downhill and not as much selection overall
    The GrahamstonResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Ashley, We're pleased you appreciate the atmosphere of our establishment. We regret to hear that our vegetarian options did not meet your expectations. Our aim is to offer a diverse menu that caters to all dietary preferences, including an assortment of vegetarian dishes. We take pride in our use of locally sourced ingredients and the creative twists our Executive Chef adds to traditional Scottish cuisine. It's concerning to learn that you found the selection lacking, and we will certainly review our menu options to ensure they provide a variety of choices for our vegetarian guests. Continuous improvement is important to us, and we will take your comments as an opportunity to reassess and enhance our offerings. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best regards,

    Great customer service very attentive .. buffet was nice but felt there could have been more different sandwich selection,and more food options x the cake section was delicious 😋. The price for 2 persons was £50 which I thought was a bit expensive when you can get deals for £20 less for 2 persons x
