ABOUT THE OATRIDGE

  We have loved eating here over last 20 years. Following a recent refurb & closure, we returned for the renowned Steak Night meal.
Priced at £45 for 2. We... read more were told on arrival their website is not current & to use FB for bookings.
Two plates came with a rib eye on each (thin, grizzle, no steak searing), cheap frozen skinny fries, HALf a mushroom (why?) and a small squashed cooked tomato. Partner had veg option with their undercooked steak and was given a small helping of wet, soggy, tasteless (tinned?) tiny cubed 'vegetables'. More water than taste after a small try.
Food was left, the lovely waitress politely offered to return the meat for more cooking. But, the whole dish was cheap ingredients and saturated, so we left.
The steak meals had no resemblance to anything a qualified chef would serve.
The menu options on the website do not exist, be forewarned.

   Amazing, great getting woke up at early doors!! Needs a full change of management. Everything is so outdated.  - Interesting place, seems to be full of characters. Got a mojito to test the water, and was really tast, bar staff were really nice, wouldn't recommend to the light hearted,... read more certainly tourists might feel threatened.

  Best steaks in the area, always fantastic. We selected 2 steaks and veggie burger - all on time, picked up and ate at home, great chips and onion rings, but... read more the steaks as always the highlight. Thank you!!!

  Have visited this place off and on over the years as it's well known for it's steaks. Hadn't been for a while but recently took advantage of the fish tea... read more deal on a Wednesday. Incredible value at £6 - cheaper and far superior to anything you would get in yer average West Lothian chippy. The price includes tea or coffee, you can have it beer battered or with panko breadcrumbs and comes with chips, peas and a side salad. Superb. Unsurprisingly, the place was packed but the service was warm, friendly and efficient. What's not to like?

  Lovely Christmas lunch. - Just enjoyed another lovely lunch here with my husband, sisters and mum. We had the Christmas menu and all food was very enjoyable although, thought my husbands tomato and cheese... read more tart which he said was very good could maybe have done with some roasties with it. He was glad he’d had soup as a starter. All staff very friendly. Restaurant is looking lovely after its makeover. Very popular for lunch we’ve never been for dinner but I imagine it will be busy.

  We booked this 'hotel' as we had a very early flight from Edinburgh airport.
It was a great location and seemed to be good value at the time of... read more booking.
We had 3 hour drive up and were looking to arrive around 9pm.
We arrived just before this and managed to park outside from a lovely young man who helped us. We walked in to what is a pub with a box with a shutter for reception, kids playing on the stairs and no staff to be seen. We stood around for a few minutes, when a waitress pressed a bell and somebody came. We paid and got our key.
We were on the top floor and whilst going up with cases had to bypass several children who were playing on them.
The room was small with a double bed against a wall (which I hate!) and a bathroom across the landing! Both, of which were not mentioned in the booking or on arrival.
We chucked the bags in the room and went down to see what food was a a available. We had not been asked if we would be eating, so a bit disappointed to be told the kitchens had just closed.
We went to the takeaway across the road which was quite nice.
Sleep was minimal due to it being on a busy road. We didn't have breakfast as we were leaving at 4.30am (No reduction given).
Overall, I've done 11 years in the hotel industry as management and over 35 years travelling around the world. This is a pub with rooms, no customer service and not for us.

  Ordered the full deluxe, steak and all the extras for our anniversary for collection on 14th of march . Unfortunately the onion rings and fries were cold near frozen and... read more the steak was overdone charcolded. Inedible . For 50 pound this is shocking.... . Had to order food after... Would stay clear

  Very friendly and helpful staff. We were upgraded to a bigger room as manager said it was empty so we could have it. Communal areas very tired but room was... read more clean, neat and tidy. Hardish but comfy beds. Could hear footfall noise from upstairs room. No toiletries apart from three mini bars of soap. Towels fluffy but not the biggest.
On the main road so easy access but traffic noise from open window as room was so hot. Shower cubicle was decent, no bath. Laminate floor throughout so ideal for the dog.
Good for a stop over.

  Enjoyed a lovely lunch here for mums birthday. 5 of us, well looked after by friendly staff. I enjoyed the steak pie generous helpings , others had the fish which... read more was also enjoyed mum was able to get a smaller portion but still decent size. Recommend the cheesecake. My husband and I had a drink in the bar before the others arrived very pleasant surroundings seems a local for a few people. Had passed by many times glad we decided this was place for lunch will definitely be back.
