1830s back-street local, popular with all age groups. Painted externally in striking fuchsia pink it was run by the same family for 31 years until it was taken over by the Muirhead family in 2014. It offers a changing range of five real ales and one cider. Two real fires are welcoming in winter, and outside is a secluded heated patio with canopies. Home-cooked food is based on an imaginative international menu. Children are welcome at all times.
