Some news we received yesterday. I am thrilled for all our staff who have worked tirelessly over the years to make our wee pub a place of excellence and an overall great and fun experience every time. I’m happy they were recognised for the food they produce, and the service they provide to each and every customer who comes through our red swinging doors. They all deserve this and we would be no where without them. 👏👏☘️Kieran.
