Hawthorn Cottage - Argyll Bute

Mediocre pub type food. One of the burgers quite inedible. Had been under the impression that this was a different class of restaurant as the older menus from the highly-rated version are still online. Didn’t realise it had changed ownership some years ago. Staff very pleasant though. Until they get their act together go to Tralee fish and chips instead

Amazing lovely restaurant. Friendly staff. Food was amazing . Gammon steak was the biggest I have ever seen. Cannot fault it in any way. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Fitted us in, though tables were reserved. Starters, main courses excellent, very reasonable prices, good service. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Myself and my partner ate at the Hawthorn last week. The decor is nice and cosy, a very homely feel. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. For starter, I had Highland Mushrooms, which was mushrooms in a whisky cream sauce topped with cheese, and a bread roll. This was absolutely delicious. My partner had the specials starter which was haddock and mozzarella fish cake with sweet chilli mayo which he said was beautiful. I would definitely recommend my starter. I then had mac n cheese with garlic bread, and my partner had the Hawthorn Chicken, which was a breast of chicken on a bed of mash potato and haggis, with bacon and a whisky sauce. My partner’s main was so beautiful we went back a few nights later for it again! I would highly recommend this lovely place for a meal, definitely one of my favourites!

Beautifully located in a rustic setting, tremendous staff and very good food. Portions are generous, all is freshly made to order, bread and deserts baked in house. A must experience restaurant.
