We booked in advance for the Festive Fayre menu - couldn’t have had a better time if we’d tried. Would never go anywhere else for a Christmas lunch. Table was dressed beautifully with crackers and table cloths. Food was lovely and well presented. Portion sizes were large. Food was delicious. Having also had food at The Longship recently with the same menu, the service and food at the Ben Lomond was light years ahead. A fabulous pub with a fabulous team of staff. Would recommend to anyone.

Food was spot on, shame about the group of lasses at the top near the pool table, spoilt the vibe about talking about getting bags of coke and swearing their heads off.

A lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Service was quick and staff friendly. The only minor annoyance was a sticky table! Otherwise great.

Well, I made it, despite your directions" . Bellowed quietly my boss for privacy we will call him Chalmers Ah, Chalmers, welcome. I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon! I replied It was at that moment I ran to my kitchen only to find my roast is burnt and gasp in horror Oh, egads! My roast is ruined! But what if I were to purchase food from the Ben lomond and disguise it as my own cooking? I chuckled Delightfully devilish, Seymour. I begin to climb through the window, but Chalmers entered the kitchen. Superintendent! I alarmed I was just...uh---just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise! Care to join me? Chalmers: Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, he asked (a problem they never have at the ben lomond) Uh... ooh! That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmmm, steamed clams! I quipped back [Once Chalmers left the kitchen, i breathed a sigh of relief, climbed out the window, and runs across the street hopped on the 27 and popped to the ben, where i bought burgers and french fries and onion rings to replace my burnt roast. Lucky it was a Thursday where they are buy one get one free I enter the dining room with the fast on a silver tray (provided by me not the pub) I hope you're ready for mouthwatering HAMBURGERS. I announce I thought we were having steamed clams. Rebuttled my boss who's fake name I've already forgot Oh no, I said 'steamed hams'. That's what I call hamburgers. I replied You call hamburgers 'steamed hams'? Said boss man Yes! It's a regional dialect. I replied Uh-huh. Eh, what region? He quipped Uh...upstate JARROW Really? Well I'm from the dark side and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed hams'. He said rudely Oh, not in the dark side no. It's an primrose expression. I retorted I see. He said gravyly He takes a bite out of a burger and chews it a little, while i sips my drink a lovely Fanta orange I picked up at the Ben lomond You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at the best pub on Grange Road the Ben lomond he said with a mouth full of meaty meat Hohoho, no! Patented me Burgers. Old family recipe! I replied lyingly For steamed hams? He alleged Yes. I replied Yes, and you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled. By Paul the best chef in the world He said getting that description bang on Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should... excuse me for one second. I said caught outedly Of course. He said smugly I enter and leave the kitchen swiftly upon seeing it is now on fire Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped. I said stuffed and unconcerned about fire Yes, I should be--good lord, what is happening in there?! He said unable to quench the satisfactory feeling of that burger knowing life had peaked and would never be the same again Aurora Borealis? I replied quickly and fastly Ah- Aurora Borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?! He sounded surprised but not as surprised as I was at the value of the food Yes. I said sayingly ...May I see it? He quized ...No. I stated We exit the house as the kitchen fire grows larger not to worry we where off to the pub for more ben lomond burgers and fries . The house is on fire! Shouted agnus who is irrelevant to this tale No, it's just the Northern Lights. Obviously Well, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good ham. Much like they serve a delightful pint at the Ben lomond

My partner and I eat here almost twice a week, we can never fault the service here, the food is always tasty and hot thanks to the chef Paul, and if there are any requests the servers Laura and Sandra are always happy to help make the experience a good one. We also like to bring our dog here too as the pub is dog friendly, the staff love to give our dog a treat or two which is a lovely touch and a bonus when our walks turn windy and wet.
