    My first trip to The Maltings and Distillery and it was far beyond what I expected. The setting, the atmosphere, the service and wow, the food. Out of this world delicious! Our servers were exceptional and explained everything in detail. I loved every moment and didn’t want to leave. Oh and those tartan chairs with the high wood back were absolutely hands down the comfiest seat! I wanted to take one away! Thank you for an excellent first time. It won’t be my last! Will MacKay

    We booked afternoon tea for Father’s Day the selection of food was superb. When the trays were brought out the chef came and explained what each item was. I don’t eat fish and the catered to my requirements. We chose here due to the good savoury/sweet selection. Some afternoon teas are overly sweet. Great quality tea and coffee available too Can’t recommend enough.

    My family had a tasty lunch prior to our whisky tasting tour. Our guide Dave was extremely informative about background history. This the led onto our tour of well explained processes and the complex nature of whisky and flavours created during it's journey through the distillery. After tasting various whiskies I purchased my favourite from the shop.

    Amazing . Beautiful old distillery, informative tour and even saw our barrel near Princess Anne’s! All staff really friendly , excellent correspondence and great afternoon tea. Lovely setting, beautiful hand crafted fixtures and fittings in a cosy room. Good service and delicious. Could choose between teas or coffees. Two courses , first delivery , all the savouries , hot soup to start in a teacup, taster of haggis , roasted veg pastry, hot crostini with pesto and Brie and then all the finger sandwiches. Think four different types from memory. Just yum. Then the sweets arrived, separately , shortbread, chocolate brownie, fudge, lemon mousse, mini Battenberg, two types of hot scones ,two jams and cream . Great meal ! We were a group of 3 and there was three of everything . Just a lovely end to great afternoon trip . We all enjoyed and definitely one of the best afternoon teas I have had , and I have tried a few , including The Ritz, Savoy, Goring and Wolsey . My advice is don’t change anything .
