    We had a lovely visit to Nor Loft. David in particular was lovely. We visited for my husbands birthday and he really went over and above to make the occasion special. He’s a credit to the place. We’ll definitely be back :)

    Good place to have brunch and meet up on a Sunday morning before a game at Hearts. Service was very good, felt well looked after. Beer and food good. Have been a few times to the Fountain over the past couple of years and would recommend it. Great to have a couple of cask beers available.
