The restaurant received mixed reviews, with some guests feeling the food was not up to par compared to previous visits. However, others praised the large portions and variety of vegan options available. The atmosphere was generally described as pleasant, and the staff were noted for their friendly and accommodating service. Despite some minor issues with undercooked food and limited seating options, the overall consensus seemed to be that the restaurant is a decent choice in town, especially for those looking for vegan options or a dog-friendly environment.

Really lovely gastro pub in the centre of town. Excellent choice of cask keg ale. Dog friendly throughout. Excellent cooking, recommend the mussel starter venison stew. What makes the pub stand out for us is the excellent customer service. My husband had ordered the wrong main mistakenly (entirely his own fault) and the waiter swapped it for another dish with such speed kindness. Great place, I hope we get to come back.

Great quality pub with great quality food for very reasonable prices. We took our 2 dogs in and they were lovely, even offering dog biscuits. Highly recommend the fish n chips tempura, the portions were a good size and staff were lovely.

I absolutely love this place. They had new owners since the last time we were there 2 years ago. Food, service, and atmosphere are all great. Will definitely be back.

Great menu, very reasonably priced. Food is excellent beautifully cooked and presented. Special mention to server Stela and bar guys Jack and Harry. They provided great service on a very busy Sunday with warm smiles and calm team work.

I do a lot of hiking and foraging in this area as it is a handy location by train from Edinburgh and usually go to local competition but visited here today and found food much better than elsewhere. Will definitely be back!
