I loved their personal beer the Dunvegan. Best beer in Scotland in my opinion. Was a great atmosphere for after round drinks. A bit pricey, but you will enjoy the nostalgia and history of the place.

Disappointing experience. Prices are just unreal, charged £3 for a can of coke. Appreciate that times are challenging and that costs have increased, but please.  …
