"I recently had my first lunch at Sugar Boat, accompanied by two friends celebrating their wedding anniversary. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the owner, Will, who didn't seem very welcoming. However, the rest of our experience was delightful. We enjoyed a gorgeous lunch, and our server—a lovely young waitress—was incredibly attentive. The highlight was definitely the delicious bread and butter pudding for two; it was absolutely scrumptious! I believe this restaurant will be a great addition to the town, and I'm looking forward to returning."

"My wife and I visited the restaurant on Wednesday night. I ordered a special, which was steamed sea bass. It was cooked to perfection, but I would have appreciated it if the chef had asked whether I wanted the bones removed. I had to handle that myself and ended up with some mouthfuls of bones. While I did order it, I’ve been asked for my preference on deboning at other restaurants. The restaurant itself is lovely, with beautiful views, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely return!"

"Being a first time visitor to the town I nearly didn 't go to Cattle Creel after looking at some of the reviews, but I thought with an excellent average rating I ought to at least try, and I am so gland I did. I like to travel the United Kingdom and as I do I keep a travel diary, here 's last night 's submission: We got back to the hotel a little before 5:00 pm were we had a quick wash and brush up before we headed out for our Friday night supper at Cattle Creel. Jeepers what a fantastic feed we had, and I nearly didn’t go, although they had a 4.5 TripAdvisor rating, a few recent reviews weren’t that good. But I am so glad I gave it a go, as the food, the staff and the atmosphere was brilliant. To start we had some sourdough bread and oil/balsamic vinegar. For the main, as it was tapas Friday we had a fish medley of monkfish cheeks, langoustines and octopus, all of which were lightly battered. We also had a hand dived scallop with slow braised beef and a delicious squash roe puree. Next up we had a fillet steak with a brandy peppercorn sauce and a portion of 36 hours braised ox cheek, with silky mash, red wine jus crispy onions, oh and I ordered a side of chips. What delicious food it was, it was an utter delight, and we were stuffed. I was so stuffed that I declined a dessert and I had an After Eight cocktail instead, it was like velvet on my tongue . Sadly I live 150 miles to the north, in Inverness, or this would be my local restaurant, the dining experience really is that good!"

"I have eaten at this restaurant before and had no complaints about the soup. However, during my recent visit, I was disappointed. I sat next to a couple who were not happy with their sandwiches as they were dry and lacked butter. They also mentioned that there was no salad cream available, which was surprising as there is likely a supermarket nearby. One major concern for me was that the restaurant allows dogs, which is fine, but the staff should not be touching them. I witnessed a server petting a dog and not washing her hands before handling customers' food. This is not hygienic and the owners should address this issue. I am unlikely to return as I prefer to eat in a clean and sanitary environment."
