To keep you on your toes our head chef changes our evening menu regularly depending on what comes in fresh that day. Everything we offer is homemade and we source as much of the produce as we can as locally as possible. We always make sure there is a choice on the menu for Vegetarians, and we ask that when booking you let us know of any dietary requirements so we can tailor that evening’s menu appropriately.

    Such a treat, we were served by Sam all night who was delightful helping us with our food and drink choices and telling us about the local area. Music was familiar and easy on the ear. The food was tremendous, we shared the Camembert which was great and perfect for two. I had the vegan option for my main which was outstanding my husband had haggis which he loved and said would have again, high praise! Made the mistake of having a pudding each and sharing, best sticky toffee pudding ever and the apply crumble was perfect. Went home absolutely stuffed! Would highly recommend x

    The bar area was cosy with a fire. Beer was excellent. The eating area was rather stark - a cupboard door behind us left open, candle on the table but not lit. But the waitress was lovely (except for not noticing the above). And the food was delicious.

    We had a fab experience dining here on our way travelling down from Orkney. We had such a lovely meal, and it was so handy to be able to bring in our dog. The pub was super cosy, we loved sitting by the fire (Peggy the greyhound loved this too!) The food was so delicious and seasonal. The smoked duck was my favourite! The staff was so attentive and friendly and made the whole experience delightful.
