Crown - Dumfries Galloway

My family dined at a table outside in front of the restaurant. Our table was assigned a number, so when we placed our order at the counter, they knew where to bring our food. Two of us shared the mackerel and leek quiche and the classic cullen skink meals. We enjoyed drinks and the beautiful view as we waited for our food. The quiche arrived at room temperature, but when I asked a server about it, she explained that was how it was served. She kindly offered to heat it up for me, which I appreciated. The salad was fresh and tasty, accompanied by a side of creamy coleslaw and chips (similar to French fries). The chips were crispy and delicious. The cullen skink was like a rich potato soup with thin slices of potato, leeks, and smoked haddock. It was served with bread and butter. While nothing stood out as exceptional, everyone in my party enjoyed their meals. The staff was friendly and efficient, and we had a lovely evening in a charming small town in Scotland.

The food at this restaurant is excellent, particularly the seafood platter which features lobster, langoustines, rollmops, prawn cocktail, crab claws, mussels, smoked salmon, and salmon fillets. After enjoying this fantastic dish, head next door to the pub for lively entertainment and a great atmosphere with friendly staff. Overall, I can't fault it - the experience was just excellent.

I spent a fun weekend in Portpatrick last year and am excited to return at the end of this month. We started off at The Crown on Friday night and decided to explore other pubs for food and drinks during the weekend. We had dinner at The Crown on Saturday and stayed until the end of the night for drinks and entertainment. On Sunday, we had lunch at The Crown, went for a walk, had a drink at another pub (whose name I can't remember), but ended up back at The Crown for Sunday night. Overall, The Crown is a fantastic pub with friendly staff, good prices, and a lot of fun!

Food drinks: Lovely food and good customer service, the mussels I had were cooked perfectly Service: 5 Location: 5

Stopped in for lunch on two consecutive stormy days. The open fire made the bar/lounge cozy. Good menu for all palettes and appetites. Can recommend the homemade soup. Service: 4 Location: 4 Hotel highlights: Great value
