The Press & Journal, March 2006
“If you spend a couple of hours dining at the Carron, you quickly come under its spell… “The food on offer caters equally for those in a hurry or those who want to linger over something a little more special. The dishes were beautifully assembled, generously proportioned and simply marvellous to eat.”
The Press & Journal, July 2005 – Restaurant Review
“There are no theme bar decorations here. It’s the real thing; it was as though time had stood still.” “The Carron is now a little gem, of that there is no doubt. Please cherish it.” “It was worth every penny”.
The Leopard Magazine, October 2004
“The menu oozes originality, combining traditional and local specialities with flavours from around the world”. “If you are drawn to The Carron by the décor, you’ll be drawn back again by the food.”
The Evening Express, June 2004
