I really must read all the stuff they send next time! I didn't even think about going there with Tesco points. We get so much more in points as well because we've got a baby who always needs things. (pesky babies!) All that money we've spent there too.....

Must try harder with this money saving thing!

I think we xchanged £115 in Clubcard vouchers and got 4 times that amount in TEsco Clubcard Delas we took Hilton vouchers and booked 2night stay in May full Dinner B&B in a river facing suite.

It cost us £360 in the Hilton vouchers which is - £90.00 in Tesco Clubcard Vouchers for 2 nights free.....

Mine are the Ballathie House hotel quite expensive but excellent scottish food and sometimes they have special prices for set 3 course menus http://www.ballathiehousehotel.com/restaurant.htm

and I really recommend the following farm http://www.gloagburnfarmshop.co.uk/cafe.htm
which is just 5 minutes from Perth.It's in a lovely location , the food is great and the prices are quite low.They really have great cakes and a lovely organic shop.They have an outside eating area as well:j

Hiya,

You cant beat the meals served in Deacon Brodies a pub on Ward Road in Dundee. Great choices, decent sized portions and very reasonable prices too. Most of the lawyers from our court round the corner use it so it must be good.

OH and dont forget no matter what salad if you order one at all you get an egg in it and the coleslaw is yummy!

Ps middleman have a *wave* from another Dundonian and can others please say where they are from just out of curiosity. Ok i confess noseyness but curiosity sounds much better.

Oh and the chippy at the Arbroath port does amazing fish and chips - the size of the seaguls round the area are proof of this. Huge portions, but delicious and well worth the travel to get it now and again or if your in the area.

Edited to say - hi Joyce. Currently staying in carse of gowrie!

Waves frantically to another Dundee Moneysaver, not forgetting about Middleman who hasn't waved back yet!!!!

Mmmm just wondering all this talk of food and moneysaving, and Dundee, wonder if there is enough of us lurking around that we could meet up?

What do you folks reckon?

Meal deal at Boots, with boots card points by the fountain for lunch? Plenty choice there and not too bad, or packed lunches at Riverside, bring a brolly?

My house.

The menu will be created from a vast inernational larder of recipes gleaned from the people of whichever country appleis rather than commercial cookbooks and whether it's myself or one of my children or their partners (or a combination thereof,) doing the cooking, it will be interesting, pefectly cooked, tasty, naturally farmed organic and the company is the best I've ever experienced.

Friends tend to drop in at meal times as there's always an extra tattie in the pot at oor hoose.

Must admit, though, that re-reading what I've just written tells me why there never seems to be enough room in my diningroom: could be my head size not forgetting my trumpet, which I've just blown hard regarding my culinary skills along with those of my kids and their partners.

LOL!

Just laugh at me. I don't mind. Not many skills to boast of so making the most of the above.

The restaurant at Jamesfield. Shop's great too. :-)

Was going to add to eating in Tayside thread, but wondered if it might get missed, and need ideas for lunch for this Monday coming.
Taking friend out for birthday lunch, don't want to drive too far - there is a time factor involved. She lives up the back of beyond, sort of between Arbroath & Forfar. (Don't ever ask me for directions, my navigational skills are dreadful! :rolleyes:)
Don't want to go into central Dundee - want to park outside wherever we are eating. Somewhere between outskirts of Dundee/Arbroath would be fine - and I don't know where to go in Forfar - used to manage to get to the ice rink and back, but don't even think that is there anymore from what I've been told!
Took her to Roos Leap, Montrose last time, and so want to go somewhere else. Thought of my recommendation on Tayside thread (Taychreggan), but been there quite a few times myself lately, and fancy trying somewhere else.
Toying with the Birkie Inn (Birkhill Inn), but not been there for ages, and it does get really busy. Any thoughts or suggestions. Doesn't have to be posh, in fact nice but not posh would be good, so long as the food is good.

The Kittiwake in Broughty Ferry does really good food and if it's a nice day you can eat in the gardens.The Old Brew House in Arbroath is nice not been for ages but food was always good, it's down by the harbour. hth

Thanks for that highland - never been in Kittiwake or Old Brew House, but not too far to travel to either. Will give them a call. Worth a wee visit anyway.
