Cabin, The Description
The Cabin is a pretty unique sort of place, one of those that should be visited at least once in every life. There is one sitting per night, and ideally you make up a table of like-minded souls, for reasons that will become apparent, and book in advance.
The meal is table d'hote and consists of three courses of imaginative quality Scottish food with more than a hint from across the Irish Sea. Frequent encounters are guinea fowl with parsnip puree and griddled salmon with seafood risotto and their soda bread is legendary.
Food on one side the other highlight of the evening is, by tradition, an extempore performance of operatic arias and the like by Wilma, the singing waitress, in which as the pace gathers momentum, you are more than likely to be asked to participate.
Your Reviews of Cabin, The

I was at The Cabin on Saturday for a 60th birthday, ten of us we were hardly in the door when we were told to tone it down as there were others to consider and it was early in the night at 8pm and The Cabin itself wasn’t completely full. We were at the door and it was freezing, when the food came it was cold and some had to be sent back. The well done steak had blood running out of it when we finally managed to get the host Denis out - he was the one who told us to keep quiet - he said we should have let him know but neither of the waitresses had appeared for the last 20 minutes The Cabin is now just another restaurant with reasonable food. There’s nothing special about the entertainment and for what they are charging you could get better elsewhere. I haven’t been there for a while but won’t be back as they are playing on their reputation now. We found Denis to be quite rude and not the least bit interested in the patrons. A couple at the next table said if we hadn’t come in they would have left early; also don’t expect the entertainment to start at 9 as we were told it doesn’t start until 10. It’s overpriced for this day and age and we were well over £400 for an expensive and disappointing night.

I have just read a review of this restaurant for the 16th November. We attended the same night and the food was lovely, and staff very welcoming. You are made to feel at home and relaxed. After dinner we were entertained by an amazing singer who also got other customers to sing. By the end of the evening we were singing and dancing, which we had not planned, and had a great night.
