We went to the Gretna Chase for an evening meal. We sat in the bar which was very busy but the lady behind the bar was super efficient and friendly. She had everything under control and our meals were out in no time at all. The meals were good and very reasonably priced. The homemade Sticky toffee was one of the best I'd ever had...👍🏼😍

Visited here as a family for lunch and to say it was disappointing is an understatement. I mean the red flag was the car park was empty but as we had been here before and enjoyed it we thought it would be the same, boy were we wrong. …
