I had a great solo dining experience to end my magical trip to Ireland and Scotland. My sever was maybe even better than the meal. Very enjoyable and knew the menus very well. When someone dines solo it can go two ways. Amazing and made to feel special and well taken care of… or…. Ignored because the server doesn’t think they will be tipped as well as the couple dining next to them. I had a perfect experience. I would dine there again for both food and service.

From start to finish we were well looked after from the moment that we were seated. Amazing service throughout, fantastic food with so much flavour and the staff checked up on us to ensure we were having a great experience. Would definitely recommend and visit again. Thank you for adding such a special touch to our birthday celebration.

It’s always a bit more challenging to find a food place when it’s supposed to suit different demographics (in this case two middle-aged women and a primary school child). The Gruff Goat made us feel welcome, had an excellent food and wine menu and a no-nonsense kids plate. I had the Halloumi and Avocado Salad, which was excellent, and we were served by a very lovely and patient member of staff. Highly recommend.

Genuinely one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The ambiance is cozy, our waiter was incredibly kind and the food was out of this world.

    The food is always brilliant here, and the portions are massive. The chicken is so tasty and well-cooked; the flavours are intense, with great spice levels. It's lively- not the sort of place you'd go for a quiet meal, but not too loud to have a conversation. Will be back.
