| A traditional old boozer that has successfully resisted any pretentious makeovers and has probably changed little in decades. It’s a single room bar with a large oval bar counter in the middle. Around the foot of the bar runs what appears to be a drainage channel which is an unusual feature, but may just be decoration I suppose. There was wood cladding on the lower half of the walls, and rough plasterwork above. To the right were some windows just below the ceiling adjacent to a corridor running alongside. This also led in to the restaurant next door which is presumably related to the pub, although appeared to be a separate entity. There was a TV up in the corner showing a sports channel, and a fruit machine opposite the bar. There did not appear to be any food offering in the pub itself, other than chip butties for a pound! Excellent choice of ales on tap, which seems to be something of a rarity in these parts. These were also available in third pint sizes, and two pint takeaway versions. There were six pumps on the bar although one appeared to have run out – the remainder were Summer Glow, Ginger Jock, Deeside’s Macbeth and Talorcan and Orkney’s Red MacGregor. Ciders were Strongbow and Symonds Founders Reserve. Blackthorn - 6 Jul 2011 23:14 |
| No idea on the food, but it looked good and well-priced. In terms of beer, 4 or 5 ever changing real ales, and every one I tried was in good condition. Having a cardboard star with "Lamb Chop" on it did not really tempt on that beer, but I was curious enough to try it and it was fine. Staff were very friendly and provided good service. Check out the 'gentlemans product dispensing machine' in the gents toilet, let's just say that it offers a far greater range of products than normal!!!! Dylanwing - 25 Jun 2011 18:50 |
| Only one ale on - Black Isle Bitter,but it was excellent. Food was good, and the chef was friendly. Doesn't mattetr that it's a bit shabby - it's a very good town centre pub and I'd be very happy to eat and drink there again. ETA - 20 Nov 2008 10:20 |
| A slightly tired and grubby feel to this pub, although it still retains many period features, and is worth a visit for this reason alone. Beer was fine when I visited, from two Scottish micros. fromedrinker - 16 May 2006 12:40 |
| Great atmosphere, lovely old style traditional pub. Wood pannelling in the gents toilets as well - is this unique ? JohnBonser - 26 Sep 2005 13:14 |
