Balbairdie - Carta

Popped out for a last minute lunch we have been before the steak n chips are excellent. Service is prompt and friendly. A wee chat to the chef was a nice touch

I visited after the British Pipe Band Championship, really enjoyed the food, the staff are really cheery pleasant and most of all helpful, very varied menu great value for money

First went to the Balbairdie when it opened way back in the early 80's still a great restaurant lovely cosy place great staff and great food. Cant say more than that will definitely be back. Ver carta

We were in Bathgate and found this little place online a bit dark when you go into the pub but the restaurant was bright and clean, service was good and quick and the food was delicious freshly made and very tasty, we all had burgers and tasted lovely cannot fault the place or food

Went for lunch today. Colin cooked us a stunning dish of fresh red mullet fillets, squid, sugar snap peas, potatoes a spicy chorizo tomato sauce see picture. £8.95. One of the nicest things we've eaten this year. The food in here can't be beaten locally. They even do a bargain Sunday lunch for £9.95 for 2 courses which include the likes of aged rump steak, their home made burgers a lot of their normal menu. A steal. Just go. It's great. Honest.

We found this reastaurant on TripAdvisor. It was close by and had great reviews. My wifes cooking is hard for anyne to beat but this was great! This charming pub was a bit of a challange to find but worth the effort! Colin (the Chef) came out and talked with us. He made reccomendations and prepared our food to meet our requests. He obviously enjoys cooking great food for people to enjoy. He has a great sense of humor, as does the staff who joked with us much of the evening. Service was great, Food was great, and the atmosphere was a blast. A true gem! Ver carta

Earlier tonight, my daughter and I dined at this restaurant and were both extremely impressed with the food quality. We started off with delicious nachos as an appetizer. For our main courses, my daughter had ham cooked in cola with spring onion mash, which she described as the best ham she's ever had. I opted for the steak, which was cooked to perfection and simply melted in my mouth. To top off our meal, we shared a meringue with forest fruits for dessert. The service was top-notch, with a friendly waitress who provided great recommendations. Overall, it was a fantastic meal at a restaurant that I would highly recommend.

Went with my wife, her sister and our 2 young kids. We were a bit dubious when we first entered as it was quiet, looked a bit sparse (only half the tables made up and didn't feel like a restaurant) and in need of some decor love and care. However the girl that greeted us was very cheery and after getting seated then taking a look at the menu things started to look up. When the food came we all really enjoyed it. I briefly spoke with the chef who seemed to genuinely care about the food he was serving up and it showed.It only loses a star as decoratively/atmosphere wise it could do with improvement but there were no complaints about the food and we will definitely be back.

Next to an extensive public car park with very few spaces, the Balbairdie Inn looks rather like a village pub relocated to the middle of an industrial site in Bathgate. The décor and furnishings are tired and depressed and in dire need of refurbishment but the welcome at the bar was very warm and we were served with drinks and shown quickly to our round table for six in a private area towards the back. The food order was taken fish and chips for four and homemade steak pie for two and we waited a very long time for it to arrive due to limited cooking facilities and staffing within the kitchen. On the plus side, the fish and chips were, I gather, very good and the steak pie was one of the bes... Ver carta
