Went to The Drovers on Sunday with my family (4 generations), this was my first visit and it won't be my last. I loved it, I really enjoy eating out regulary but since the birth of my son 7mths ago have come across some very unfriendly places for children - Not The Drovers - we received a warm welcome and the staff were excellent with us all, especially my son. They thought of more than just the high chair with extra touches that didn't go un-noticed or unappreciated.
My family of all ages really enjoyed the meal, the food was lovely and we'll be booking again soon!!

My parents live a 15minute drive from here and I have no trouble whatsever driving rather than drinking just to go to this lovely place. The food is always amazing, the staff friendly and there is always a lovely buzz around the place. Main courses are around £10-£15 which for an evning meal I think is a bargain.
Being a fussy city girl I have to say this is my favourite place so far for pub grub, anywhere.
Great for the family too although can be a little noisey in the bar.

An historic name and location at the foot of the Mounth makes this a good stop for those coming over from Deeside, or beyond. Alternatively returning from an amble in the Angus Glens this could be a good stop however, unlike the walker/climber friendly Clova Hotel the Drovers has gone for an update to the décor that makes the scruffy type (of which I am one) feel distinctly under dressed, even in the bar. However I am assured by my better half that the dining arrangements are good and I may be tempted into testing them one day when I am not mud covered.

What happened to the Fantastic little country pub/resturant. Haven't been for a while, as I have moved from the area, but it used to be great, great food at good prices. I understand it has changed hands and now is EXPENSIVE & AVERAGE, wouldn't rush back. If it ain't broke, don't fix it ! Get the old chef back.
Gastro.

The menu sounds good, and for £20 for 3 courses isn't bad, but the salmon starter was tiny, and the belly pork main was VERY fatty, I realise belly pork is a fatty cut of meat but there is plenty of lean belly out there and with slow cooking can be delicious but this was really fat wrapped in pastry, desserts were average. The Drovers used to be excellent, until the new owner, Ian Dodds, took over and changed everything, now it is expensive and average !! A shame.
