  “The Livingston Inn is a great little pub with plenty of seating inside and out. We enjoyed it so much that we visited twice, once for dinner and again for lunch. The pub meals were amazing. The fish and chips and steak pie were both outstanding and come highly recommended. The staff were friendly, welcoming and provided excellent service on both visits. It’s also a great spot to watch the Premier League with a nice pint of Tennent’s. Great food, great atmosphere and brilliant staff. Well worth a visit!”

  “Nothing to write home about, service terrible, we were in with a anniversary party table of 16. They left out people's starters even after reading it all back, had to ask a few times for cutlery for starter. Then again the same for main course don't think they can count to 5. The starter ( chicken strips were look warm) The chips were mushy and slightly warm. We arrived at 6 for our booking eventually got our starter at 7.15 by the time we got our main course and finished we never even got asked if we wanted pudding as the kitchen was closed. Really disappointed this time as the first time we had been it was lovely. Granted it was busy but they really need more staff. Drinks order they kept forgetting had to keep asking about it. Shame really as it's a nice clean place. If they can't cope with big tables or the kitchen can't assure the food coming out hot they shouldn't take the bookings”

  “Popped in for a quick pint and ended up staying for the steak pie. Now, I've seen some pies in my time, but this one had a puff pastry top bigger than my uncle Hamish's belly. The dog loved the attention in the lounge, though I think he was just eyeing up my chips. Cheers!”

  “Lovely starters husband had a delicious steak..desserts were awesome..however what happened to the order of steak pie..I was served an awful stew with two little rounds of puff pastry, which had clearly not been cooked with the meat was utterly revolting and did not constitute a steak pie ..utterly disappointed...everything else was great but my meal was appalling. Won't be back!”

  “Popular centrepoint for the large rural area round about, and well-known even in the town of Livingstone some distance away. About half a dozen draught beers including Asahi and Belhaven Best. Large menu of upmarket pub favourites, fairly typical of a country inn. Service is acceptably brisk and efficient. Livingstone Inn is an enormous building, and has a large bar area with a choice of wooden chairs or sofa seats to sink into. Unobtrusive soft rock in the background, Black Velvet style. The addition of bedrooms could make it ideal for exploring the myriad and splendid countryside walks (and cycle paths) with forests gorges and the heritage centre a short walk away (waitress said all the rooms are contract and not available to the public — yet I found some on the popular booking site.) Kitchen and bar is from midday to mid-evening. The adjacent ‘village’ comprises the Inn, a trendy barbershop with a beauty salon on one side and a cafe on the other. That’s it. (Though apparently there’s also a post-office somewhere.) I went for lunch, mid-week. I was more than satisfied with what I felt was an above-average chicken & bacon salad. Minor criticism is that the staff seemed a bit rushed off their feet, even with just a handful of customers.”

  “Lovely local pub with a good beer garden and some nice walks around. The small lounge is dog friendly and has a few screens for sports. The restaurant serves nice food and is worth a visit, anyone looking for a good pub will be happy they went.”

  “Family lunch at a weekend. Menu is very large therefore not much is cooked on site. Nothing fresh, seasonal or local. Too typical of poor Scottish pub cuisine. Very cheerful staff however. My steak pie was very bland.”
