Cotton Mill Cookhouse Pub - Annadale

Had used this restaurant in its previous guise as a Brewers Fayre and honestly seems to me that nothing has really changed. Standards are exactly the same as before and it is clearly aiming for maximum throughput of customers and a menu that is contributes to that objective. When we visited, it was fairly quiet and some areas were out of commission, being barricaded off with strategically placed chairs. Staff were few (perhaps the reason for curtailing the number of customers), however those who were in attendance were working fast, attentive and were very pleasant. Basic pub type menu was minus a few items (inevitably things we wanted) but ample alternatives. Something like Lasagne would, I have thought, been unlikely to run out but there you are. No starters for us but for mains, we opted for the 3 mini pies (beef ale, minted lamb chicken tikka) which came with a congealed but funnily quite tasty gravy, 1 x scampi, 1 x gammon steak and 1 x chicken bacon. The last two were off a special 2 for £11 menu whereas the pies and Scampi were from the a la carte menu. We had 3 desserts and with soft drinks, were presented with a total bill of £63. The food was OK you get what you pay for standard and clearly the drinks were truly where the profit from our visit came from. 4 non alcoholic (mainly squash) cost over £12 bit steep imo. Not great, but then, we were wanting to have a basic meal and not anything special which is exactly the target customer base for the Cotton Mill. Would I go again? Yes and I'll bet it won't have changed.

Great food, Very attentive staff. Nothing was too much bother. Special credit to Wilma who served me breakfast every morning I was here. Credit to your buisness

Wilma what a star , always smiling : and the rest of the crew were brilliant and helpful well done to all , I look forward to staying again

Staff were attentive and very polite, they took my order promptly and were very friendly when doing so. The food arrived quickly which I was pleased about due to being away with work and having to set off in a hurry. I got exactly what I asked for and enjoyed the breakfast. The facilities were all clean and well laid out staff were always around to assist and accommodate.

Turned up at location and told to sit any where. Went to get coffee and the machine just gave out hot milk. I said to staff about no coffee and was told o well tired to get it working so will just turn off use the sachets. Waited about 20mins to get served the server served people that had just came in the door? Breckfast was not the best and wont be back. Herd the server moaning about people leaving food on there plates. Improvement needed.
