About

A traditional Scottish pub with Victorian decor and medical memorabilia, serving classics alongside a Beyond Meat burger, plant-based nuggets and vegan lemon tart. Recent diners praise the quick, friendly service and local-beer selection, though a September 2026 review reports a vegan salad served with mayonnaise and unavailable listed options.
