We visit Scribbles Restaurant in Elgin Scotland and sample their £15.00 + burger with Monterrey Jack cheese, bacon with salad and mayo in a Brioche toasted bun, a medium pizza and a couple of Baguettes. Let's see what we thought if it.

EDIT: I'm in London and you can get some fantastic, homemade burgers (with chips) for lunch at half the price - Yes, I know I'm maybe comparing 'apples and oranges', because of staff wages and 'sit down' diner overheads, but £20 + for that burger, chips and drink is not cheap!

Just checked with a local diner that we havent been to in a while. I love their beef liver and onions. Comes with soup, salad, potato, and bread. Oh and a slice of spinach pie. All that used to cost $10.95 US. As of yesterday it now costs $19.99 US. So that cancelled that idea. Then i looked up my favorite Italian place to see if they've gone up too. Price for spaghetti and meatballs used to be $10.95, the meatballs are huge and you get 3. Comes with salad and garlic rolls. Now its $20.00. doubled in price. Sodas are $4.00 and thats just ridiculous. Its gotten so ridiculously overpriced that we cant afford to eat out unless the restaurant is having a special. We only do special occasions now. Its a shame.

Great to see you all out having a meal, what a shocker though when you think of the quality and value of the Ragged Apron. Since the Pandemic so many places have got sloppy and are over expensive. So many places here on the Isle of Wight charge £15+ for a Burger meal £16+ for a Roast and many places charge over £3 for a coffee. It's no wonder people have Open Wallet Surgey.

What I don't understand is why you didn't complain about the grease/oil and allow them to correct the mistake. If nothing else you could have got a price reduction for the poor standard of food. As a former chef, and in my opinion, that food was totally unacceptable for the price. Scribbles should be ashamed of themselves.

My burger and fries meal was there for all to see. We in no way rubbished the restaurant but pointed out a valid issue compared to other burger places in Elgin where we reviewed. Humble Burger and the Beach Hut At Lossimouth. Both of these places were a lot more tastier and cheaper. Our review was how it happened on the day. Others have also said the same thing so there might me something that needs looking into. The pizza was very good as was the service but no one mention's that. It wasn't a matter of complaining, we were there for a review of the food and it wasn't up to scratch on that occasion.

We're natural tight wads: 2 lunches for £10.99 at a local Brewers Fayre or a Carvery does us during the week! Somewhere like the Apron would be right up our street! I'm not one to complain usually (but did recently at Miller & Carter, well just said something wasn't very nice when asked "How is your food?" = refunded us, which we said wasn't necessary (nice one M&C!)), but I'd have sent back those chips.

Evening folks, I don't wish to bring down the wrath of the Empire but I'm afraid the burger and chips would have been rejected. All the oil was just not acceptable- looked a bit of grease to be dripping out of the burger too?? At the prices, going rate or not (certainly not around here) I'd expect better. Super venue and presentation but the grub seemed below parr.

Having moved down to Bourne from near Elgin, I did not eat out because a lot of the food was poor and prices high

£17 for a burger and fries what a rip off. I make my own burgers with 5% fat mince, a bit of onion, a few breadcrumbs and an egg to bind it together. Each burger costs less than a pound if I buy the mince at the full price, which is very rare as most of the time I use mince that's reduced by 30% or 60% meaning that each burger can cost as little as 50p. In Jan 2023 I got 4Kg of 5% mince for 90p per 400g pack, the mince was use by that day,2/1/23 but each burger that I made cost about 23p each. I also made 20 mince and onion pies with two packs of the mince with each pie costing about 15p per pie as the 2Kg of flour, I bought from a site that sells food that is excess or just out of the best before date was 5p per Kg and the Marg was 99p. If possible I never pay full price for anything.

You really should have called someone over , i once called them over because of greasiness..they replaced meal…then i found a fly in it..they said its summer & window is open! They wanted to replace it again but everyone else had finished…so they said they wouldn’t charge me!!! Hah as if! No wonder they went bust! In USA they wouldnt put up with it…we are too mild mannered here!

I am sorryi love you guys but as someone who has worked in the catering industry for 30 years it makes me sad to see you eat 95% of your meals without complaining of poor food to the staff. But you are more than happy to score poorly on KZfaq? Please in future let your server know so they can try to recitlify your complaint rather than broadcast over KZfaq for your views x❤

It's an unbiased review on our experience. No different than TripAdvisor. Why shouldn't we express our findings, it may help them to improve rather than just give a refund. I bet if the management sees this video, they will act on it immediately instead of the issue just being reported to a member of staff who would probably just give a discount and move on without their issue being rectified. That's the power of social media

Omg as a local who lives and works in Elgin I really want to apologize to you. This is an amazing place, the people of Elgin are normally extremely friendly and welcoming. I have seen both your blog as well as the Facebook posts from Scribbles. I have also eaten in most of local eatery's in the area. You ARE entitled to your review and in your opinion an honest reflection of the meal and service you received. I personally do believe that is an expensive burger and that is way I would not of chosen that option. Scribbles is a restaurant known for their pizza, pasta dishes as well as their homebakes. The restaurant did state on their post the chips had been coated in seasoned butter which i do find odd and does explain the grease. I really hope the experience you have had between the locals trying to support a local business (quite aggressively) has not put you off are beautiful area.

Thank you Adele, Yes we love Elgin and maybe the food preparation on that day had been below par but we in no way dissed the business. The pizza was great, the service and staff were great, My fries and burger were the main issue, There was no flavour in the burger at all and for £15.00, I expected a lot better. We also reviewed The Beach Hut and Humble Burger and they were far superior in taste and value. It is always our intention to eat all the food presented as it is part of the review to see if we get full up after a meal. We don't report our findings to the staff as we operate like mystery shoppers who just report their findings. We have never had so much hate from a review but that's down to people defending the business but some people go over the top. None of what the things people said about us was true so yet again, keyboard warrior's attacked us and I have all the comments stored and if they persist, they will be reported. Hopefully, the owner will see that we had real issues and maybe the cooking staff took their eye off the ball. We have also had other commenters on our video saying that they have had a similar experience in Scribbles and don't go there now so maybe management need a word to their cooking staff. Thank you for being realistic and keeping things in perspective.
