Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We wanted to stop off for lunch on the way home from a holiday in Scotland. I’ll be honest, we were a bit worried about dining at Romneys based on the most recent trip advisor reviews being negative. The feedback was concerning slow service and...we didn’t want to have to wait too long since we were to travel a further 3 hours after lunch. We didn’t need to worry. The service was really good. Even the young (seemingly new) staff were very attentive, polite and professional. We ate roast beef Sunday lunch (really good!) and others are from the main menu. Lamb shank was applauded, as was the pancetta starter. We asked if we could buy an extra Yorkshire pudd for our 12 year old) as they were sooooo good and we were kindly given one wrapped to take away for the journey. The building and setting is really lovely and toilets clean. We would definitely come back. Thanks to all staff. Your hard work and diligence doesn’t go unnoticed.More

We were a table of 11 and we had booked well in advance. When we arrived we placed on a table which only held 8 (9 at a push). We were made to feel like we told them the wrong party size even thou we...confirmed in the morning of the visit. There was a lot of waiting between drinks revived and food coming out. When we got the food it wasn’t that hot but nothing to complain about. There was two steak orders with the party one ribeye medium and one sirloin medium rare. They must have muddle up the cooking as the ribeye was medium rare and the sirloin was medium. Didn’t want to complain and it would have taken another 20 minutes to cook them right again and by that time everyone would have finished their meals. Another 20/30 mins after we finished our meals we finally had our dessert order taken. I had to ask behind the bar for someone to take the order. There was a young woman doing everything behind the bar while 2 other members of staff were to busy chatting to one of the regulars. I think of one these were the manager/supervisor. Over all I won’t be coming back but I wouldn’t stop other people going. I just don’t like waiting 2 and 1/5 for only 2 courses.More

Lovely building and setting - rather noisy inside. Glass floor over the cellar is worth seeing. Service was very willing but they were short staffed and forgot to ask basic questions as hurrying and the meals took a long time to come. But the food...was good.More
