Lovely gluten free cheese burger, chips and salad. Hubby had steak pie and said it was lovely. Big portion, so was stuffed after it

Fabulous hospitality from the staff. A real treat to visit The Bruce Arms and it is set in such a picturesque location and knowing that the food & drink is good value too. Would highly recommend and already looking forward to returning. Thank you 😊.

We just nipped over from Edinburgh where we live as it’s only a half hour drive and we thought we could have afternoon here with the family and to also let the dog free for a run around. We researched somewhere for lunch that was dog friendly prior to our arrival and so decided on the Bruce Arms. Food was excellent, staff very friendly and premises were clean and welcoming so we were very pleased to have found this place. We would highly recommend the Bruce Arms for anyone out and about nearby looking for a lovely lunch as we thought it was great and would not hesitate to go again if we were in the area in the near future.

Popped in as we'd been on a walk nearby and wanted a light lunch, but happily decided to go for a full one instead. Absolutely delicious food that I'd eat anytime and anywhere. My pan-fried chicken was perfect - thank you.

Excellent repeat lunchtime dining experience. The homemade Steak & Ale [Puff Pastry] Pie with chips [peel on], juicy peas & fresh carrot batons were delicious. The cuts, quality & quantity of meat were exceptional. Gravy heaven. Attended to immediately by super friendly staff. Food arrived very quickly. Without doubt the best around by miles! Will definitely return.

Truly awful experience, unwelcoming poor customer service and dreadful food, this is possibly the worst food I’ve been served in last 10 years and I eat out a lot, wouldn’t recommend and not sure where all the positive reviews come from on here to be honest.

Great New Year Steak Pie dinner. Maybe hold back on the thyme, but couldn't fault quality of beef and rest of food. Absolutely first class. Great portion size and lovely staff who were run off their feet, but still managed to deliver a first class service. Terrific family New Year dinner at The Bruce, and hope they will do same next New Year! Well done Team Bruce. Fab start to 2024. Happy New Year to you all :)

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Food OK, but spoiled by rude waitress. Loud, rude and just nasty. I see other reviews saying similar..... Will not be back. Will be telling everyone I know. This is a replacement review, due to a response from (the owner?) which was obviously aimed at someone else. Complaints to 'Trip Advisor' did nothing. Evident, however, that he/she cannot take criticism, seeing responses to other low star reviews.

Came here for some Sunday afternoon drinks and planned to watch the Scotland vs Georgia Rugby match. First time visiting the Bruce Arms ( have always planned to go, but ended up either in the Inn at Charlestown or the Coorie next door). The bar staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the bar and seating area are a great spot to sit and chill out. Atmosphere is great, and was thoroughly enjoyable listening to the locals banter as the place started to get a bit more busier as the afternoon went on. The pub dogs are super cute, and we absolutely love the fact that it's 100% dog friendly (indoors as well as outside). Will absolutely be coming back again and would definitely recommend paying this friendly wee spot a visit.

Our family of four visited for dinner on Sunday evening. Fortunately we had booked as the pub was busy. We all ordered different meals : Nachos, steak & Guinness pie, fish & chips, and the daily special of feather steak. The nachos were OK but the others three meals were outstanding, as good as you’d get anywhere. We followed with deserts, and again all were amazing. All for a reasonable cost Highly recommended.

Arrived at the bruce arms after finding that everything else nearby was shut. Looks lovely from the outside of the building but that is about the only nice thing I can say about the place. When I walked in, I asked for food menus and was told they weren't serving to which I then asked for a drinks menu but was told that I couldn't get one. This does not make any sense as there were clearly menus behind them. The fact that they weren't selling food was nonsensical as the person that had arrived at the same time as us had been given menus and been allowed to order food. I eventually was able to order some drinks which were watered-down heavily. When we walked back into the pish stained place to pay, there was no one at the counter and it took a full half-hour of waiting for a staff member to get to the counter and give us the bill which did not make any sense as the place was empty. Once we were finally given the bill I was horrified for the price of our drinks, it came to £8 for a tiny watered down sprite and coke and instant coffee. After querying the priced, the waitress began to get angry with me and argued that a 150 ml sprite is worth £3.Overall I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone and will be never coming back.

To be honest I’ve only had the steak pie. Also might be biased as on and off been eating here since the 1980’s. I can say when I bring people with me it’s a winner. Best steak pie in my opinion and this fat kid loves pie. My friends and family are always happy with the service and quality of food. I recommend the sticky toffee pudding with custard. I’m loyal I’m biased and I’ll be going here until the day I expire.

Staying locally on business I walked to The Bruce Arms for an evening meal, on a Wednesday night around 6.30pm. Busy bar area, local people, and casual atmosphere. Landlady pleasant. Often awkward when dining alone but I sat in the quiet room opposite the bar and read my book. Steak and ale pie was delicious. Table service for drinks. Reasonable pricing. I'd recommend.

A rare treat, to find a traditional pub, with top notch food, which isn't part of a generic chain. Stopped for a family lunch with 3 x steak pie enthusiasts and I can say it was absolutely fantastic. Loved the slightly haphazard presentation (gravy slightly off the plate!) as it was all about the flavour. One of the best I've ever had. Was around a tenner, great value, and the kids burger my 8 year old had was about £6 or so, real brioche bun, well toasted, real cheese melted on (not some cheese single). Just so refreshing to see somewhere that's still doing things properly. Thanks for a great lunch!
