Probably best bar food I’ve ever had. We ordered a few things and shared. Had the haggis, neeps and tatties (first time), fish and chips, beef shin pie, and onion rings. Everything was delicious. Was a heavy meal with all the fried food but was very good. Maybe best onion rings I’ve ever had, haggis was delicious, beef pie was delicious, fish was delicious and fries (chips) were tasty. Tried 2 of the beers (IPA and peach lager) and they were both pretty good though prob not on the level of the food. Music was a little loud but okay. Service was pretty good. Overall really enjoyed it mostly due to the food.
