    Booked for wedding anniversary and good service from the moment we entered the restaurant and throughout the meal. Nice touch to provide a complimentary glass of Prosecco to celebrate our anniversary. Food good quality, we went for haggis option as well as fish n chips, both were excellent. Would recommend.

    We had the haggis bon bons, crab crumpet, Cesar salad and sea trout. Everything was so fresh with such amazing flavors. The light sauce on the sea trout tasted so good I was tempted to lick the plate. We’re not easily impressed but this was excellent!!
