We came here for something to eat after taking our granddaughter to her Rainbows meeting as usual. We hadn't booked a table, but were able to get in, which was fantastic. Therer was an outside metal staircase to climb as well as a few internal stairs, so it could cause difficultes with someone who has mobility issues, although I did notice a downstairs restaurant, which was not open at that time. My husband chose the mushroom soup of the day and I chose haggis filo parcels with a whisky sauce to start with. I personally found the sauce a bit thick as it didn't pour very easily. Nonetheless, both starters were cleared from our plates. We both chose the beef and mushroom stroganoff with sautéed potatoes and topped with crispy onions. The stroganoff was sitting on top of the potatoes, and the sauce was absorbed into them. However, I wish the crispy onions had been more crispy to add more texture to the dish. My husband had a large glass of red wine and I drank hot water, which I had asked for. The surroundings were lovely and staff attentive, but as the restaurant got busy, the noise increased a bit, which after a long day at work is not always the best for me personally to cope with.

Read moreWe were hurrying on a road trip up north and spotted this pub on Google maps. Safe to say we were not disappointed!
When we arrived at 5 it was quiet, but the lady who served us was really welcoming and put our minds at ease. A few minutes later it started to fill up, so it's clearly popular with the locals.
The food was absolutely delicious! Great sized portions and arrived in good time.
We had the steak & ale pie and the chicken gyros. The pie was definitely home made, with perfect puff pastry and a generous amount of meat & gravy.
But the gyros was at a level that surpassed all else! Instead of the classic wrap, it was deconstructed and kept on the skewers. The garlic mayonnaise and the herb flatbread were delicious.
Couldn't recommend it more, we will definitely be stopping by again if we are...
Read moreExcellent food and service, very friendly staff, food freshly made, only reason dropped 1 star is because online prices don’t reflect current pricing and some items were not on the current menu. We ordered fish and chips, good sized portions, steak and ale pie, pastry was to die for, just melted in the mouth, tender meat, maybe could offer the option of extra gravy ( personal opinion) chicken gyros, again plentiful portion and tasty. Went at 7pm so fairly empty but signs of live music later on. Would definitely recommend and would visit again next time we are up here from...
