Burns Night

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate in true Scottish style: good company, a wee bit of ceremony, and plenty of laughter echoing through the pub, A proper memorable evening from first toast to final bite. There’s something special about sharing a night like that together, friends raising a glass, and the whole room feeling like one big gathering. We’re so grateful you spent it with us, and we can’t wait to do it all again next year. 

Big warm thank you to Kate, Joe, our Guests & Russ, The Shenandoah Piper for being a part of our celebration of Rabbie's day, and Tom, Steve, Euan and staff for participating.

And of course, no proper Burns Night would be complete without our kitchen crew, the true heroes of the evening. 

From prepping every last detail to sending out each course with care (and perfect timing), they absolutely smashed it. 

Burns Night is one of those events where the magic really happens behind the scenes, and our team delivered a meal worthy of the occasion. Warm, hearty, and handled with real pride. Give them a round of applause next time you’re in (and if you see Chef Nick, buy him a glass of wine… or at least say cheers.)

Over At The Bar!

Aberlour A’bunadh is one for the sherry-lovers and the “just one more dram” crowd. Its name means “the original” in Gaelic. A nod to Aberlour’s roots and founder, James Fleming and it’s bottled at cask strength, so it arrives big, bold, and unapologetically warming. 

Each release comes in small batches (you’ll spot the batch number on the label), with tiny natural variations from run to run. It's part of it's charm.

Expect a rich, dessert-leaning profile: spiced orange and praline on the nose, then a full-bodied palate of black cherry, ginger, and dark chocolate, finishing long with a gentle oak grip. Best enjoyed neat to start, then add a few drops of water to open it up and let the sherried layers really sing.

Brand new to our pub, just ask your Bartender for a wee dram today!

For those keeping score 

(and those pretending not to)

Here’s your EPL update

Arsenal are making a proper go of it, seven points clear after a 4-0 statement at Leeds. Chelsea clawed their way back against West Ham to sneak into fourth, and Liverpool thumped Newcastle with four to keep the chase for Europe nice and spicy. Meanwhile, it’s grim reading for Wolves, still bottom after a home loss to Bournemouth.  

What we love most is watching the pub fill up with familiar faces and February’s shaping up to be another brilliant one. Thank you for being part of it. Come in, grab you and your mates a pint, and let’s make the rest of winter a proper good time together.  

Six Nations Rugby

Right then, sharpen the nerves and ready the pints: the Six Nations Championship is upon us again. This will be the 132nd running of the tournament in all its glorious forms (Home Nations, Five Nations… the lot), and the 27th Six Nations since it went properly continental in 2000.

We’re straight into the good stuff on Thursday, 5 February 2026, with France vs Ireland to start the whole thing off with a bang. The curtain comes down on 14 March when France host England, which, let’s be honest, is rarely a quiet affair.

And in case you needed a storyline: France arrive as defending champions, having wrestled the title back from Ireland in 2025.
