Rusty Shackleford

The service, the food, everything was excellent. Friendly bartenders and waitresses . I had be fish and chips and it was exceptional!

Malcolm Alderton

Great atmosphere well kept draught ale and superb food, a rugby pub for all. Flying Scotsman ale is well worth asking for

Fábio Henrique

Great service, the Haggis tower os very good. Don't miss the smoked salmon with cream cheese and oatcakes, delicious!

Ben Engen

Festive yet aged tavern with a pretty strong fish and chips . They herb the breading somehow to give it a little more nuance than other fish and chips .

Dawn Mulvaney

Excellent ale . Nice place to stop for a rest on the way up (or down!) the mile.

Mr. Dude

Chili . I know, totally not authentic Scottish. But dammit, it was good! GF had the Warlock Pie - beef was super-tender. Great service.

Jimmy Angelakos

It’s not a huge place, but it’s very cozy . Just know there’s not room for a very large group.

A good cozy place for a break of the walking day.

Cris Fox

Do not miss the chocolate fudge cake

Cute pub , drinks aren’t the cheapest though.

Nice atmos, and one of THE best Steak & Guinness Pies known to human kind!

Paige Hunter

Went with a group that reserved the space for the evening, and the management allowed noisy and rude customers to disrupt our event . Very frustrating and will not be returning.

Xenia Francis

"Spicy bean burger " is tasteless rubbish made from potato and not spicy .Macaroni and cheese is ok though. Service was good.

Best guided audio tour of any of the Scottish castles so far. Well kept and plenty of access. Only wish it was possible to go more around outside, but understandable there’s need for restrictions - Ole H.
