I wanted to send out a seriously massive THANK YOU to everyone for their comments and messages following the review in The Times. Dumfries and Galloway is my home now and Giles Coren recognises what we’ve all known for a long time now, that it’s great place to call home. I’m proud of my dedicated team and we look forward to serving you in the future. Thanks. Ed Pook

So, we had a restaurant critic, Giles Coren in the restaurant a wee while ago and today his (rather AMAZING) review has been published in The Times. So, so proud to be helping to put Castle Douglas and (along with The Clachan Inn) Dumfries and Galloway on the map and in a National Newspaper☺️ Snippet of the review in the photos, full link in the comments.

Our team were out early morning foraging for some wild raspberries and blackberries. Keep your eyes peeled for our new foraged dessert, coming to the menu soon!

Getting the burgers ready for the Civic Day madness🍔🥩🍨 Tables still available from noon until late.

🌟🌟Castle Douglas Civic Day Menu 🌟🌟 We’re hoping the ☀️comes out on Saturday for Douglas Day, as we’re bringing out the BBQ here at Mr Pook’s. We‘re running this special menu all day.

The other night we were delighted to receive this handwritten note. After a busy evening shift, it’s these kind of moments that make it all worth while. To the lovely couple we thank you and look forward to welcoming you back soon.
