Worth planning a stop around, even if it means a detour — the cooking here is Italian technique built on Scottish produce, and the small menu changes with the seasons. Smoked-on-site salmon, a Cullen Skink lifted with spring onion and sweetcorn, venison chilli warm with cumin: proper food that happens to come with high chairs, a kids' menu and step-free buggy access. It's cosy rather than cavernous, so a pram parked beside the table will fill a bit of the room, but parking is free and outside seating helps on a dry day. The welcome is genuinely warm — the owners get a mention from nearly everyone. One salmon chowder came through saltier than expected. At ££ for this standard, families call it "super reasonable considering the quality".
