“ Whenever I go home to Scotland, this is my number one destination. A great meal is guaranteed: forget all that nouvelle cuisine nonsense, this is fantastic hearty fare. Like your mum’s home cooking, but even better, and a warm welcome to boot. Last week I started with haggis bonbons, followed by chicken Kiev. Glorious. ”
“ Delicious dinner today at The Cochrane Inn. Starters of trio of haggis and honey goats cheese were both scrumptious and well worth the value. Mains of Beef Bourginon and Duck breast were equally good value and delicious. The red cabbage and apple to accompany the duck was utterly moorish! Puddings of lemon tart and chocolate fish cake to finish a delightful and well presented meal. Well worth a visit to this lovely restaurant and bar. ”
“ Just had a lovely meal at the Cochrane, which is under new ownership. We each had three courses and every single one was delicious, special mention for the Cullen skink and baked mushrooms. The teriyaki beef noodles are a must try! Service was super friendly and fast, the restaurant is cosy and clean and very well decorated. Will definitely be returning! ”
“ Loved my meal and was great value. Had fab Cullen skink and the best club sandwich. Great service, lovely restaurant. ”
“ From Canada visiting and found this place on my run back to our stay. Bartender/owner was kind enough to let me in with my running gear to ask about a reservation. Ending up coming in just before end of sevice time and we were served with no issues. Staff were lovely with the environment being a cozy nook that reminded us of small town yet refined. Meals were delicious with all platters exceeding not only taste but beauty standards thank you for being an amazing host. ”
