    Always enjoy our visits to The Grouse and Ale. 4* instead of 5 only because two out of the three of the party are vegetarian and there is very limited choice on your menu. From memory I think there were only two vegetarian starters and only a single vegetarian main course (a risotto). The risotto was delicious, but I think you can do something to improve the menu choice for us vegetarians. As it’s nice to be able to choose from at least three options instead of feeling that we have to select the only one available as a main.

    We have eaten here several times and have always enjoyed the experience, however the battered haddock on this occasion whilst being ok was not as good as previous times, lots of batter slightly over cooked and fish portion small, everything else was fine.

    Great atmosphere and very relaxed dining. Food was very tasty and plenty of it. However, meal was not served particularly hot and on occasions service wasn't very prompt.
