5th of June 2016:

 

On the first Sunday of every month, we (me and M) take our 3 younger siblings out for a day and have a sibling day- cause we are cute like that- it was sunny for once and we decided to go to Loch Lomond for the day. While driving for what seemed like forever we finally found a parking space, while walking along hungrily looking for some civilisation/food we saw this hotel/bar/pub and happily continued towards the lovely looking pub. The inside of the place looked great, friendly and homely. As always, confused whether to sit down or wait to be seated we figured out that you are to sit down and get a menu. We seen the menu which has a lot to offer, it was great. Me and M got fish and chips and peas, our brother got a cheese pizza, our youngest sister got a cheese burger and chips and our other sister for chicken kiev with chips aswell. All the food looked great to be fair.

 

Our brother got, as stated above, a cheese pizza. He advised this was very good and he enjoyed it a lot. He isn't a big talker and a bit shy (even with us) but he expressed his enjoyment with this through demolishing this full pizza within about 7 minutes. He obviously enjoyed it a lot.

 

 

                                                                   

 

Our youngest sister got the burger and chips and the other one got the chicken. They both finished all of it (except the salad obviously) and enjoyed it as well. They even said thank you after it!! That shows how much they liked it as they are in the teenage stage that they don't say please, thank you, etc, etc - ungrateful wee SH*TS. lol, but they did think the food was great and the place was lovely.

 

 

So, here it is, the best bit, saving the BEST for LAST. This fish. Was. The. Best. Fish. We. Have. Ever. Had. Oh my, it was delightful. The batter was, the best batter we have had (except in Glen Coe in this little B&B but that's a different league/story). WOW. Crispy and gorgeous, the fish itself was amazing, no bones in it which is actually hard to find. The chips were great (C feels there could have been more but you know, whateva). Now the only downfall to this perfect meal and probably the only reason we are marking this location, food, bar down is the mushy peas. As you can see in the photo above were obviously from a tin, this was a bit of a disappointment as I/we do love some good old fashion mushy peas. They were eatable but not tasty in the slightest. The tartar sauce was nice, I feel it was maybe a bit weird that it was put onto the plate and not as a side dish as I do know a lot of people who do not like this sauce, luckily for them, we are not these people. Overall though, good food, nice people who work there and obviously a lovely location (right on the loch front and in loch Lomond of course).
