Quick info
About Raven's Cliff
On Prospect Hill Rd in Motherwell, Raven's Cliff is a pub where the ghost burger turns up regularly alongside steak and ale pie and a chicken and Mac and cheese finished with pulled pork topping. The Sunday roast comes with a "large one" option, and the breakfast pairs a full English with a continental spread on the same plate. A baked potato with tuna arrives with a portion of mayo on the side. Guests staying at the attached hotel can charge meals straight to their room rather than settling up at the bar. A 92 bus stops right outside, and parking is available on site for those driving in.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the Sunday roast and the ghost burger as standouts, with the roast called tasty and the burger's flavors called delicious even though the advertised chilli kick was missing. Close behind, the baked potato with tuna and the full English breakfast draw praise for portion size and value, and several mention servers by name as attentive and friendly. Wine and the general drinks selection also get nods. One reviewer describes a rougher visit: staff initially refused to charge food to a room allowance, a server was untruthful about swapping a Pepsi for Pepsi Max, and the meal arrived with a hair in it, though a morning staff member later refunded the charge. A couple of others note being briefly ignored at the start of service before a colleague stepped in to help. Most accounts, though, describe hot food arriving quickly and staff stepping in to fix small mistakes on the spot.

“Great food we got the ghost burger which was Absolutely DELICIOUS apart from the ghost chilli was ghosting us as it wasn't spicy at all. But the flavours where delicious and I would definitely order it again. Service was good as well and it was a nice quiet atmosphere.”

“The service in the restaurant was terrible. Staff would not let me charge my food to my room even though my company pays for a £20 food allowance. I ended up speaking to a morning member of staff who was helpful and refunded me my money. I asked for a coke and was given pepsi max, when i asked if I could change she lied and told me it was original Pepsi, i informed her it was not, she then tried to pour a normal Pepsi however it was out, she gave away her porky pies!! When the food arrived it had a hair in there!! I did not eat the food and left the restaurant. I was honestly too tired to say something again. Not what I needed after an 18 hour shift with no food. I just went to bed, which thankfully was clean and was more than happy with.”

“My husband & I had a table for 2, the food was really good & the 2 servers were amazing. If I could give 5 stars with a plus sign after it I would. Molly & Ellie were so attentive & pleasant to us. They're a credit to the establishment. Thank you so much ladies, you made a lovely night, even better. Will definitely be back again soon.”
