RAZOR 1,382 Posted December 10, 2015 The Grant Arms in Cullen is horrendous should anyone fancy not enjoying a meal or the vibe of the restaurant. I think my mates Mum owns that. Is there more than one pub/hotel in Cullen? Eat on the Green in Udny is decent. Yes, its nice. Its is quite expensive though. Share this post Link to post
The Boofon 4,610 Posted December 10, 2015 I think my mates Mum owns that. Is there more than one pub/hotel in Cullen? Yes, its nice. Its is quite expensive though.Yes there is. It won't be the Grant Arms your mate's mum owns. Share this post Link to post
The Boofon 4,610 Posted December 10, 2015 Expensive for being in Turra... I think it was more the drinks I recall being quite overpriced.Never noticed that either. The owners are a cracking Cullen couple. Share this post Link to post
RAZOR 1,382 Posted December 10, 2015 Yes there is. It won't be the Grant Arms your mate's mum owns. W/e the one that Reekster and Totty etc all used to drink in is the one she owns as she kens all them. Doesn't know you though... Share this post Link to post

RAZOR 1,382 Posted December 10, 2015 Different pub. She kens me as well. Which one? C or B? My old lady stays next door. Does Eoin Jess live in the pub like? Can't for the life of me remember her name, only met her the once. Lives in BoD if that helps, her son in law was Assistant (I think) manager of Devronvale? Share this post Link to post
Clydeside_Sheep 271 Posted December 10, 2015 La Garrigue in Edinburgh is good. (its worth noting the toilet flush was broken the time I was there, but as I was half cut I didnt mind too much - I even had a go at fixing it for them!) Hotel Du Vin in Glasgow is good.Also like Gamba, Red Onion, Esca and City Merchant in Glasgow.Glasgow has loads of cracking places, naturally. Wouldnt know what city centre Indian restaurant to specially recommend these days. I liked the Tiffin Rooms, but its now called Akbars and havent been to that. I liked the old school Indians restaurants which are mostly all gone now. Share this post Link to post

I've been to Porterhouse once on my lunch as it's close by and it was 'okay'. Would go back but not in a rush. 1 Share this post Link to post

tup 2,296 Posted December 10, 2015 Indian food was designed specifically to hide the rankness of the ingredients. Heavily spiced so you canna tell the difference between scorrie/chicken etc Share this post Link to post
