Absolutely fantastic, a hidden gem that deserves the love it gets. My partner and I phoned and asked to get booked in last minute as we are here on holiday and the owners could not have been more accommodating. The food is authentic Italian and you’d be hard to find better within a 50 mile radius. I had the Pollo alla Sorrento whilst my partner had the Venison sausages, we highly recommend both. Will definitely be back when we return (or may make the two hour drive from home!)

This is a hidden gem! To find an Italian restaurant of superb quality in the small village of Sorbie was a rather unexpected delight. The dishes chosen were excellent and the Chef himself came to our table to clarify precisely how requested variants to the menu would be served. The staff were exceptionally helpful, the atmosphere convivial and with quirky touches to the decor like the panelling in the bar from reclaimed timber. Altogether memorable and thoroughly recommended

Best meal of our holiday by a country mile. The attention to detail is great and the small menu just perfect. Dessert was just as good as the mains. You can tell that this is family run with love and care.

Second time of eating at the Pheasant and once again it didn't disappoint. Everything is made fresh, and you can taste the difference because of it. Beautiful food, attentive staff. Grazie mille!

The Pheasant is an authentic Italian restaurant in a rural setting, 6 miles away from Wigtown on the road to Whithorn. The entrance is a bit odd - a little corridor leads you into the dining space, with tables either side of a bar area, which immediately felt more welcoming. We had antipasto which could have been a little more appealing - we had to ask for oil and vinegar or butter for the bread and a few more olives. Everybody really enjoyed their main courses of Venison Lasagne, chicken in a butternut squash sauce, tagliatelle carbonara and saltimbocca in marsala cream with salad and parmentier potatoes. Desert was affogato and a light chocolate bonet with caramel sauce and ice cream. Would have loved to see a selection of gelato on the menu as we were lucky to visit on a glorious summer evening. ☀️ The service was friendly and warm, the food served quickly, and we will have happy memories of our night together.

A rather late review - we live locally but to our shame hadn't visited here previously. Wow what a treat we had been missing- excellent menu, lovely staff and warm, comfortable surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the pudding was particularly delicious 😋

A very warm welcome into a beautiful, clean interior full of curious artwork and soft lighting. Three of us seated at a table by the window in the second room, we gushed at how lovely it was. Menus brought out and drinks ordered, we began to peruse the food menu. The menu is small but full of big flavours. A small menu boasts the best food and allows the chef to perform at the top of their game. This place was no exception. One of our group has particular dietary needs (gluten free, dairy free) which were catered for without hesitation or belittlement. The waiting staff who are kind and friendly are also enormously knowledgeable about the menu and alternative dishes. The food; rustic, honest dishes full of big flavour and memory. I began my culinary delight with the homemade pasta dish: tagliolini caprese and had the saltimbocca for main. The starter lovingly enrobed in a rich, homemade pesto that I couldn't help but scoop up with a snaffled oatcake off my partner's starter! The butter and marsala sauce that of the saltimbocca was deliciously moreish. I rounded my meal off with two scoops of refreshing blood orange sorbet. I don't just highly recommend a visit to The Pheasant, I order you to go!
