I was up in the area visiting friends and when asked about dining I instantly suggested The Back Street as I’ve been here before and my mouth was watering thinking... read more about that runny scotch egg.
We were a table of four and sat by the window. The staff were all extremely friendly and the service was like no other. I had the scotch egg which was amazing as always. My main was the lamb rump which was cooked perfectly. The taste was amazing and I still think about it now.
The dessert was creme brûlée which was velvety and smooth, the chef should definitely give himself a big pat on the back as the food is like no other.
I had an espresso martini which was the best I’ve ever had. I’m not sure what’s different about it but the martini beats any other restaurants by far.
The owners should be incredibly proud of the staff here as it’s like a home from home environment which I love. When I’m back up I’ll visit again. Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed what will be our 4th or 5th visit to The Back Street. Christmas food which we had pre ordered prior to visit.
A little cheese and... read more onion biscuit as soon as we sat down was a delicious appetiser and start to the meal. 2 bottles of interesting red ordered and the starters arrived a few minutes later. All cooked fresh and all piping hot. Service was relaxed, not too fast, and the waiting staff were all super friendly and helpful. I hate feeling rushed when I’m out for dinner - plenty time to talk!
Too full for dessert but we got a wee Nutella donut and some Christmassy nougat which melted in the mouth.
Will be back in the new year!
Been to this restaurant several times as I love the food and the cocktails are the best in town . I came here for my birthday dinner with family last... read more week and was, yet again, not disappointed. The food was perfect! I had the macaroni followed by the brownie and others had burgers all of which were amazing. Every time I come to this restaurant I’m never disappointed, the staff are so attentive and friendly and the overall experience is just perfect.
I booked the table following the Google search and it came up as popular and the menu looked good.

But when we walked in it was nice and spacious. Staff was friendly and welcoming. But food was out of this world. Scallops, fillet steak and duck was fingerlicking excellent. Kids enjoyed their kids meals too.
The new menu is amazing! There is such a good variety of dishes on the menu. I had the chicken supreme and the chicken was cooked to perfection and the... read more curry sauce was to die for.

Came here with my best friend the other night! I could not fault one thing about this place, it was our first time dining here and we arrived with the... read more best service and left with the biggest smiles on our faces! The drinks were 10/10 the food 10/10 and the service 10/10! Our server was Macy ( I think her name was) and she was so polite and friendly! Top tier food, it is my new favourite in D&G!
Price wise I would say you pay for the quality, the food and it’s presentation is just spectacular! 2 cocktails, starters, mains and sides was around £60!
The menu was limited, not like it was posted online. Food was fine, but unadventurous besides the starter. Nice atmosphere but shuts down fairly early.
Great spot, friendly and efficient service, iced water brought to the table immediately and quick food service. My wife had the chicken Kyiv and it was as good as we’ve... read more ever had. I had the sirloin, cooked to perfection and a great size. The popcorn waiting at the table was a nice touch too
