Cashleys - Angus

Yet another visit with poor service and lack of produce. No skimmed or semi skimmed milk on Sunday morning for my wife's skinny latte so she opted for tea but no teabags. She went and bought her own so she could have a drink with family. Yet another 40 minutes and no hot water. My niece's latte was just hot milk, no coffee. While this was happening another party gave up waiting and left. We have given up using this as our Sunday venue for coffee/breakfast. Another reason for this is opening times vary and can't always get inside.

Overall, we had a disappointing family meal at the local restaurant. We booked for a table of 12 for my mum's birthday. We were the only table when we arrived. Another table of 2 arrived during our main course. There was a friendly informal server when we arrived though I got the impression he was not a formal waiter as he did not know much about the menu. He also disappeared after a short time. After this time, we were served by one of the kitchen staff. Obviously, this led to inadequate and slow service. The meals were served very slowly. We had no option to order more drinks throughout the meal. Our main course plates were not taken away after we finished and after waiting for a while we decided just to leave and get deserts at home. Some comments about the food. We were told when we first arrived that there were no steaks. That reduced our options considerably. However, what surprised us was one of the diners at the other table was served a steak! We were told that they do not have tomato sauce. This is highly unusual for a restaurant that serves steak, burgers and chicken tenders with chips. One of our party member nipped down the road to a local shop and bought a bottle ketchup for the table. The food was okay but we felt it was very one dimensional. A lot of the dishes were served in a similar manner with the same dressings and toppings. The chips were a little greasy. I would have wished that our experience was better but unfortunately it wasn't so. I understand how difficult it must be for the restaurant trade just now and we try and support local businesses. However, we would still expecting decent service and food. I tried to message the restaurant in the first instance for a response but have not received any reply.

Had the pleasure of a mid week takeaway meal from this excellent modern restaurant. The Angus Dukkah Burger was superb and the Beetroot, Chickpea and Coriander Burger also hit the mark. Accompanied by their excellent fries not cooked once, not even twice but thrice. Highly recommended.

We had the bassa fish bun and the burger bun. Both were nicely cooked and seasoned and garnished. A great addition to the Forfar food scene. The service was pleasant too.

We stopped here on our way north for something to eat. Our waiter was great, and the food was delicious. We’d definitely be back.
