Popped in for a late lunch after a visit to the Sea Bird Centre and they have also do a lot of the meals Gluten Free too. Great meals at great prices and the staff were friendly and very helpful
Fabulous meal, very knowledgeable staff, I'm gluten free and couldn't have done any better to make me feel better and less awkward, suggestions to what to have.....fun in ordering, professional, but not too stuffy
During a recent day trip to Dirlington Castle I stopped in for lunch with my daughter and her husband.
My daughter has coeliacs and the restaurant were very accommodating to her needs. She ordered the Halloumi burger, which, for her, came without a bun (as the buns have gluten in them). It was, in her words "amazing" and, as she is a chef, she should know.
My son-in-law ordered the Venison burger which was, to my surprise, moist and full of flavour. I know how easy it is to cook venison and for it to be dry. Son-in-law loved it.
Both the above came with chips which they were so impressed with they insisted I taste them, I had to agree, they were certainly well worth writing Google about lol
Both also commented on the freshness of the salad which they said was top notch. Well, coming from son-in-law who breaks into a sweat if you suggest he eats vegetables, that is a massive compliment and it was backed up by him eating the full salad - something I have never seen before.
Finally, to me. I ordered the vegetable Thai Green Curry. When it arrived I have to say I thought it didn't look particularly hot but wow it did have a very pleasant kick. Not too hot, just absolutely perfect! The vegetables, again, were clearly very fresh and the rice cooked to perfection.
The nan bread that came with it was so fresh and delicious I wish I could have finished it, but the portions in this restaurant are such that it was a struggle for all three of us to finish our meals.
What can I say? This is such a little gem.
When we arrived the waiters said he would "squeeze us in but the restaurant is fully booked after 5" Looking around, there appeared to be plenty of tables and, in such a small town I felt certain this would be an exageration, until we tasted the food. Now I suspect it probably is full most of the time, and with a really good reason.
