    Attentive staff but not overly so, with a lovely manner and great service. The food presentation was lovely and tasted wonderful. Time between courses, just right. One tiny negative, we chose to eat on the ground floor and were seated at a table just as you enter the restaurant area. The top two tables, although screened off, are positioned by the serving hatch on one side and desk area on the other. Obviously more hustle and bustle in these areas. Those tables maybe more suited to groups rather than couples. This did not detract too much on the ambience and experience and we will definitely be back.

    Whilst food was good and service attentive I was disappointed that a meal on Burn’s Night at The Globe Inn, in the bards hometown, did not do more to make it a memorable Burns Night for all diners. The diners downstairs were entertained with pipers and poetry reading, but those in the room upstairs, paying the same price, sat in silence in a library like room. It would have been a nice touch to give every diner on Burns Night a full Burns experience.
    The Globe InnResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback on your Burns Night experience at The Globe Inn. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service. We understand your disappointment, the Burns Night celebration downstairs was a specially ticketed event. This event sold out and, due to its popularity and the nature of the performances, was contained within the downstairs area. We always try to offer a variety of experiences to cater to different preferences, and we do regret that on this occasion, the non-event dining experience did not meet your expectations for a Burns Night. We take all feedback on board and will certainly consider how we can enhance future Burns Night celebrations for all our guests. We hope you'll consider dining with us again in the future

    Our first - and hopefully not last - visit to The Globe was a great experience. We had the 4-course Burns Week set lunch menu which was excellent from start to finish and good value given the high standard of food and the professional and friendly service.

    A lovely setting, great service and excellent food. Love all the little tiny extras that are so delicious. The food is presented beautifully and it was very tasty and I would have given a 5 stars had there just been a little more venison on my plate.

We also appreciate your honest feedback about the portion size of the venison.

We hope that despite this, you had a memorable evening overall and that you'll consider returning to try some of our other dishes in the future.
