| Buchan's was a Scottish restaurant in [[Locale Battersea|Battersea]], just at the south side of Battersea Bridge. It closed some time in 2010. |
Scottish restaurant just at the south side of Battersea Bridge. They do a special Burns Night celebration every year. Have only been here on Burns Night, but the food was great (if not cheap). They're particularly good at gravies/sauces. Unsurprisingly the menu is heavy on the meat and fish, but they catered very well for the vegan in our party, who was definitely the winner in the dessert course. She even got vegan haggis for the haggis course. (We did have to tell them in advance there'd be a vegan coming.) |

The information below is retained for people who want to know what it used to be like. |
It's quite “snug” (crowded) inside, and it gets quite warm and smoky (yes, they do allow smoking inside, until the law changes, at least). |

<div class="old_info"> Scottish restaurant in [[Locale Battersea|Battersea]], just at the south side of Battersea Bridge. They do a special Burns Night celebration every year. [[Kake]] et al. have only been here on Burns Night, but the food was great in both 2007 and 2008 (if not cheap). They're particularly good at gravies/sauces. Unsurprisingly the menu is heavy on the meat and fish, but they catered very well for [[Juliet]], the vegan in our party, who was definitely the winner in the dessert course. She even got vegan haggis for the haggis course. (We did have to tell them in advance there'd be a vegan coming.) It's quite “snug” (crowded) inside, and it gets quite warm. |

Scottish restaurant just at the south side of Battersea Bridge. They do a special Burns Night celebration every year. Have only been here on Burns Night, but the food was great (if not cheap). They're particularly good at gravies/sauces. Unsurprisingly the menu is heavy on the meat and fish, but they catered very well for the vegan in our party, who was definitely the winner in the dessert course. She even got vegan haggis for the haggis course. (We did have to tell them in advance there'd be a vegan coming.)
It's quite “snug” (crowded) inside, and it gets quite warm and smoky (yes, they do allow smoking inside, until the law changes, at least).
Definitely recommended for Burns Night — there's a piper, and singing! (Songsheets provided for those that don't know the tunes/words.)
