Absolutely lovely little pub and restaurant, we stopped in for a spot of lunch on our walk by. My partner got the highland burger which was amazing and I got the chipotle chicken burger which was lovely, my only complaint was the chicken was really tough and overcooked. We also got the chocolate cake and brownie for dessert which was one of the nicest desserts I've had in a while. The staff were all so nice and the atmosphere was really chilled out. Would definitely go back.

Rude and ignorant staff, no acknowledgement off potential customers. Stood at the door while a staff member stood idol with her back to my family. Only to be told there were no tables despite only one table with customers seated.
