This place holds a very special place in my heart…read more Besides having worked here behind the bar, I have many fond memories of late nights and flowing drinks here with friends. It's an unofficial local nexus for Fence Records, the small indie label started by a friend of mine over a decade ago, and chances are if you pop in here on a Friday afternoon you might just run into someone you know. Over the years the Ship has seen its share of music, and like any local pub worth anything it has a healthy cast of regulars who'll you'll find propping up a bar stool everyday. The nautical theme is par for the course in this seaside village, but there are loads of really neat historical shots framed and hanging on the walls that are worth checking out if you're ever in there. And be sure and say hi to Dave, the owner!

The staff and the punters couldn't keep their hands off the wee mutt, free biscuits, water and cuddles kept her happy, and the service for us was pretty good too. It's very much a traditional old bar, but in no way tired-looking. I ordered the cullen skink, and the beef lasagne. The soup was pretty good, it was a bit creamier tasting than I prefer, I like it smokier, but it had plenty of fish and potato in it. A very decent start. My beef lasagne and chips, well the chips were nicely cooked, and the lasagne was good and solid as I like. It had a cheddar style topping rather than parmesan, so it was quite rich and not exactly authentic, but I have to confirm that we all left feeling that the whole experience was a very good one.

They have a large area that's hidden from the main pub area where food can be eaten but it can also be hired for an occasion. I had my birthday dinner here recently where there were 26 people and we all got our food at the same time and it tasted great. The menu is big with lots of dishes to suit most. There's vegetarian options and being lactose intolerant, there were lots of meals on the menu that I could choose from. The staff are lovely and were very good dealing with everyone's requests at my dinner party. Sometimes they have bands come in at play at the weekend which certainly brings in a crowd.

An unexpected gem set next to the river Avon in the village of Millheugh, a sort of leafy suburb of…read moreLarkhall. It's a fine, 300-year-old, stone-built inn, that sits above a weir and just before a tall, ancient bridge. Inside it's just as you'd hope such a place would be, the eager staff will even regale you with the story of the "Black Lady". She comes in some times, and they even hold seances so you can communicate with her! The beer choices are acceptable, not great, the food menu though is more interesting. Two of us picked langoustines with charred bread and a garlic butter, for - I think - about £6. Obviously we expected either tiny ones or a couple of medium ones, but no, there were four pretty large langoustines for that price and there were no complaints about the flavours either! Almost astonishing value. I went metro-retro for the main and opted for the lasagne. It was a nice lasagne, cheesy, firm and with plenty of mince, not quite as mother would make it but everyone likes theirs differently, and she was a very fine, qualified cook. It had more cheddar than parmesan, but I love rich food so it was no problem to me and I may well have it next time.

Yes, it's a Wetherspoons, but don't let that put you off a visit…read more They promote this place as a bastion of real ales, and by jingo, they live up to it. There's a rotating array of guest ales, that all the staff seem to be clued up on and have a real knowledge of if you ask them about one of them. The regular taps are all fine choices too, so you can't really go wrong if you're an ale drinker. The food is top notch too, and reasonably priced to boot. This is probably my favourite place in Lanark to waste some time, and well worth a look if you're in the locality. Check in advance to see if they're having one of their regular ale or cider festivals, and then it's definitely worth it!

Unfortunately I was in a lager mood, they have St Mungo on tap too though :) They do two-fers on pizzas, and a real carvery on Sunday, ie you can go up, and up, and up - I think I may have even bankrupted a couple of hotels in the past! We went for the main menu though, we all ordered the Highlander burger for a main, and two of us had meatballs (very similar to a tapas Albondigas as it turned out). Great, friendly service from the young waitresses. The meatballs were with us in no time. My father really liked his, I really liked mine as well, well except for the temperature, they were lukewarm at best. Unfortunately this only goes to prove they weren't cooked fresh, as my father's were hot. Tut tut! The flavours were great though, tight balls with a spiced tomato sauce with a cheesy layer, even the Spanish and Italians don't do them this good! And then the burgers, quite similar to the local legendary in HRC Glasgow, they had haggis and creamy whisky sauce on them, but also onions and mushrooms. Dare I say at least as good as the Hard Rock's in fact. The burger was tasty and held together well and the chips were nicely done. My only criticism would be the roll, it was a bit too quick to fall apart. A star off for the lukewarm starter and the roll integrity, but otherwise a great lunch!
