Restaurant Menu

Situated on the top floor of the Old Bell, the restaurant provides traditional Scottish food at its best, while successfully incorporating some European influences. Our focus is on quality food and friendly, efficient service.

Our menu changes seasonally to continuously guarantee fresh ingredients on your plate, and where possible we source our meat and fish locally. This is accompanied by an excellent selection of wines, cask beers and other drinks from the bar, all to be enjoyed in a relaxed, cosy atmosphere.
