Westgate Farm - Dining & Carvery 55 South Gyle Broadway, Edinburgh EH12 9LR

"This place has improved massively from when it 1st opened. Honestly the carvery is the stand out. Beef slow cooked for 12 hours. Home made cakes Staff have been there for ages These guys know what they're doing and it's amazing to see a well oiled machine."

"Absolutely appalling venue for Christmas day meal. They had clearly overbooked, no doubt on purpose to rake that money in, but at the expense of literally ever other member of public that chose to book there. The staff seemed to have no idea what they were doing, as if there was no leadership. This meant insane waiting time. The place was overcrowded, claustrophobic, and utter chaos. My party arrived for a 1330 booking and every course took an age to arrive. I couldn't even tolerate waiting for my dessert to arrive and left by 1630. By 'left' I mean fought my way out to the front door through a sea of others. Furthermore, the table we were allocated was stuffed away at the very back, and far too small for the amount of people in our party. So much so that I had one leg around the back of one persons chair, the other under the table, all while rubbing shoulders with people on either side of me. An absolute joke! To make matters worse, there was zero wheelchair access to and from our table, and if I wanted to go to the carvery, toilet, or anything else, I had to climb over chairs, or squeeze between the tables and chairs of other guests. That place was a death trap in the event of an emergency where quick evacuation was required. The starter was limp, the carvery was decent, and the only positive thing I have to say is about the staff member (lovely English gent) serving at the carvery. Really friendly, positive and engaged so well with everyone else. Which I'm sure must have been difficult for the man, given that that general vibe of most of the customers I could see around me was one of disappointment, frustration, annoyance and anger. Give that guy a pay rise. Give the people responsible for that absolute rip-off their P45's. If I could give a - 10 I would. 1 star will have to do. Shame on you! I will never be back."

"I had the carvery which was really nice but had to wait 5 mins to be served as chef had disappeared. My colleague had a couple of things from the menu which were average. However the staff were very friendly and the place was clean. Was excellent value for money for the carvery."

"Bit disappointed with the limited menu after reading the extensive one online, but what we had was excellent. Service was great. Spacious pub, toilets clean and tidy. We went back for breakfast next day again only buffet breakfast available but really good value for money."
