Looking for a Nice place to Eat in the Accy area
I’m looking for a local restaurant or Pub that does good quality food any time form lunch time to mid afternoon, not town centre. Anything English preferably using locally grown produce, with a good live ale….

You must be the only person I know who has said this about The Willows.
The comments I received from people concerning the willows have not been good. I was told the service was slow, the food cold and not particularly that nice.
Not being one to listen to gossip I decided to make a visit. I wish I had not bothered. The comments were correct. That is one place I will never set foot in again.
I found Old Mother Red Cap a good choice, not exactly in
Accy but worth the 5 minute drive.
If you dare venture to then Willows please let us know how you got on.

Yes it is a Harvester now. I've been and thought it was good. Better than when it was on of those dreadful Brewer's Fayres.

Well Cashy I trust your sense of taste so where would you go, given a choice. I'll have a couple of hours at hand.

Re: Looking for a Nice place to Eat in the Accy area
A lot of people say the willows is crap. When I went last month to a charity event, I thought the price was, well , over priced if the food is as bad as what people say. So i settled for the Britannia instead

First time I went it was really good. Perhaps last time the chef was off or something. All it takes is one bad meal, and word spreads that it's rubbish, which might not be the case.
