Friendly staff. And dog-friendly which is even better! Unfortunately the couple of times I went though, I found I reacted really badly to possibly the detergent they clean their glasses with as I was left with a really sore throat and a severe rash that left my lips super sore, painful and chapped for several weeks afterwards. It was the only place I’d ventured out to on both the days I went (and was stuck at home working in the days immediately before and thereafter on both occasions, so no other external influence to factor in). My friend, whom I had met there on a day out from London the first time, told me that he had experienced a similar reaction. Initially thought and hoped it was an isolated experience.

Keep up the great...
Read moreSmall pub in Wick. It doesn't look much from the outside but it is nice inside. It has a dartboard and snooker table.

Having moved not far from the pub we will be using it again. Had a...
