While you dine, soak up the sounds of the bagpipes and enjoy a reading of Burns’ timeless poetry. Finish the night with Cranachan – a classic mix of raspberries, cream and oats.

I was looking for a place to show my family the magic of a Sunday roast and this place was perfect! The four of us had a sharing roast and sharing pie along with some drinks. The dessert that came with the roast was so tasty and warm. The ambiance was the perfect cozy hideaway from the cold and windy weather outside. I would recommend to anyone!

Hi Cameron, thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm glad we were able to provide you a cosy shelter from the wintery weather outside, as well as a nice meal! I have passed your compliments to the chefs, and they were thrilled to hear them. Please come again soon!
