For over 25 years, The Bistro has been a beloved local spot, owned and operated by the Freeman family since 1999. It all began with Helen and Tully, and since 2019, it’s proudly run by husband-and-wife duo Derek and Annette Freeman.
Derek, brings passion to the kitchen, crafting each dish with care, while Annette warmly welcomes guests as the front-of-house host. This is truly a family-run business where creating memorable experiences is at the heart of everything we do, and no request is too big or small.
A warm welcome awaits everyone who walks through our doors. The Bistro has consistently been recognised for excellence, winning multiple TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence and currently ranking as a top restaurant in South Lanarkshire on TripAdvisor.
Our food is made fresh to order with love, care, and attention, using only the freshest local ingredients from Scotland’s premier suppliers. The Bistro’s reputation has been built over two decades, with 95% of our business coming through word of mouth. We don't rely on large-scale marketing, instead, we focus on offering exceptional customer care—that’s the secret to our success. Every guest is treated like family, whether it’s your first visit or you’re a returning friend.
From hearty meals to full catering services, The Bistro is open for lunch, and dinner, featuring a fully licensed bar with a selection of wines, beers, and spirits at competitive prices. Our exciting new wine list includes both new world and old world selections, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
We recently launched a new à la carte menu designed to suit every palate. Whether you're a long time guest or visiting for the first time, we invite you to stop by The Bistro you won’t be disappointed.
Let our family take care of yours.
