Never disappoints. Food cooked to perfection very friendly and helpful staff. You want to change an item of your meal, rice or mash for chips say, no problem. It's not "fine dining", just good food, nicely presented in really pleasant surroundings. Breakfast at the weekend is great too. It looks quiet but we were first to arrive on a Tuesday evening, but more customers arrived steadily.
Fabulous meal. Staff absolutely great. Loved everything about place-will definitely be back.
I went to the Cochrane Inn last week for lunch with my Mum and Papa and we had a wonderful time. It was the first visit for me and my mum but my papa had been before and highly recommended it. We ordered our meal which arrived promptly and smelled delicious. The portion sizes were massive and tasted fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is lovely.
Great wee restaurant, fantastic food and friendly staff sometimes let down by being over busy and service suffering a little. Highly recommended
The restaurant is pleasant with a relaxed atmosphere. Staff were pleasant but service was a trifle slow and they forgot one of the drinks. Ordered mussels to start with, when they arrived they were tasty enough but about a third of them were not open. This would imply that they were not particularly fresh and that no-one is checking the food before it goes out, very dodgy where shellfish is concerned. Main course was well cooked but portions were a bit small given the price. A reasonable dining experience but the Cochrane Inn doesn't live up to the hype.
