The Red Star Inn is long overdue a refit! It is a bit tired and old fashioned, it is certainly what…read moreyou would class as a pub for old men. However, it does have a fairly nice atmosphere, it is cosy and comfertable. Staff are always friendly and cheerful. The food is good traditional 'pub grub' and is of an excellent value and good quality. There is a private function room which is not great - the toilets are in desperate need of decoration and it is often cold and the carpets are unclean. There is plenty of car parking in the private car park and there is a nice play park for kids if you bring them here.

Just eaten here for the first time and the food is absolutely wonderful. Proper Italian home cooked food. First class. It may take a while to recover the poor reputation because of the previous owner but this is just not the same place. Cannot praise highly enough. Finally a restaurant close to Westhills that serves real food instead of the usual junk. Highly recommend to anyone who loves real food!

They are good with kids, however due to the fireplace in the middle you have to to watch them when it's on. FOOD - pub/restaurant, very tasty and fresh, have to try their (I suppose it might be even signature dishes) gambas and lasagne! SERVICE - very friendly and pleasant TIMING - very good, even if it wouldn't you would enjoy the place or another beer ATMOSPHERE - it takes time to find it for those who are not local or know about the place, but inside it's just so cosy and chilling.

Key West is a pub that serves food in Westhill shopping centre…read more It is a strange looking pub, it looks like a shop from the outside! Inside it is quite colourful and has had the same decor for years - it could do with a make over! Lunch is good value, you can get a nice salad or sandwich for about £4-£5 or a main meal for about £6 - £9. The food is made fresh in the small kitchen. They are happy to take phone orders so your food is waiting for you when you arrive - this is great if you are on a tight lunch hour! The hot chicken and bacon salad is lovely. In the evenings the place does not serve food and is more like a traditional pub, the clientelle tend to be regulars, there is draught beers, the usual spirits, hot nuts and video games.

Since we were having a full on dinner we decided to sit in the dining area We had the mozzarella sticks to start, as well as the tattie (potato) and leek soup, followed by vegetarian burger and beef stew. We also tried a selection of local whisky. And we topped it off with the chocolate cake, ice-cream, cream, and sticky toffee dessert. The sticky toffee + cream combo was delicious, so leave some room for dessert!

Those who…read moreare familiar with the show "Still Game" will know what I mean when I say I felt like we'd stumbled right into the Clansman. The patrons were all on the other side of middle-age, seemed to all know each other and were exchanging playful banter among themselves and with the bartender. There was a cozy, crackling fire - real wood, not gas, mind you, and just a general air of comfortable companionship there. I almost felt like I was intruding while quietly drinking my pint, but the occasional friendly smile from a regular kept there from being any sense that we were unwanted. It seems that the only food available is crisps and nuts, so don't go in looking for a meal, but if you're out that way on a cold, rainy night, you'd do well to stop in for a drink before you get back on your way.
