The quality of the food for the price was quite unexpected: excellent. I live in France - it's not french, but I can't spend three hours eating and I can't pay Michelin star prices.Food is subjective, but from the point of view of someone who has worked in the hospitality industry for 20 years in France, I'm 100% happy here.There's a great friendly team working here. The service is however "high tech." So you either order on their app with your table number or at the counter directly.One can't expect traditional table service with dinner at 11£ drink included.Best value in a very pleasant, very social ambiance - the place is packed every evening.

We booked this hotel for an overnight stay while attending a show at the Rothes Halls nearby. Check in at the bar was easy and the staff member friendly and helpful. …

Arrived at the golden acorn around 5pm on a Saturday, we had booked a room for the night to attend a party near by. To book in you had to go through the pub which was quite busy as expected on a Saturday. …

We stopped for lunch. What a lovely outdoor area. Ordered via app. Out came this lovely cheery young Lad with our food. And another with our drinks. We have frequented a lot of wetherspoons all over the country and always order same thing. This is the best ever. Chicken in a basket. Dip and spicy rice. Honestly. The chef should be crowned. Best ever fluffiest rice. Chicken light and crisp. I have never experienced this dish so eloquently put together. Glasgow. Durham. St albansMassive failure compared to this place. Loved it. 10/10

Disappointed to receive a parking fine for having breakfast there one morning. Signage for parking not made clear when entering building and nobody informed me off parking fees when ordering food.Needless to say I won't be paying the fee for parking.Otherwise a nice place to visit.

Love it or loath it, you can't beat Spoons for a value for money meal. I come in whenever I'm in town and it never disappoints. Been driving all day and just needed a good hot meal.Fam had bangers and mash and I had steak and kidney pudding.Hits the spot. Decent selection of draught beers too!Ordering at the bar is a bit haphazard as the bar staff are usually very busy and can get distracted But we got there in the end.

Had a steak last night it was absolutely disgusting the pepper sauce was thick and lumpy, mashed potato dry and not nice .My friend had chilli chicken which was also poor quality.Waitress was scruffy looking.I get it's cheap but this is unacceptable my friend and I have been unwell since eating there yesterday.Never thought to take photos .Certainly won't be back

Went to this pub for lunch parked at front, was going to eat outside because we had small dog with us, went in gave them number plate of car parked at front we were then told no dogs in pub which we accept then they said no dogs allowed outside either on their land, which was shocking. No signs said this to us verbally, then sat outside to discuss where to go due to this draconian rule, which did not apply in Dundee JDW, nevertheless left to receive a parking ticket for 75.00 from their car park company.

We would definitely recommend the food. All the staff were professional, helpful and available. I can personally recommend the chicken tikka masala, delish, just don't have a starter, it was so filling.
