    Booked a table for my wife and I after looking at the online menu. On arrival staff were welcoming and helpful. It’s a shame that most of the menu was not available now. The wife decided to order the listed starter - Pigs in blankets. A unique dish, hole molly it looks like the sausages where still alive with a slither of rasher wrapped around them to keep warm. Hadn’t even finished our ‘starter’ when our luke warm mains arrived. I got the steak pie, the meat was ok, no fatty parts and the pastry was nice. The wifes balmoral chicken was terrible, so she left half of it and to be honest by this point it was cold anyway. Wouldn’t recommend, wont be back, advise you to go elsewhere if you want a meal.

    Great Pub/restaurant. Kind of an upscale pub. Great shareable on the menu! The fish and chips were awesome as was the halloumi! Staff was friendly and service was quick. Really enjoyed our dinner and drinks!

    On 28th September 2025, I visited this PuB for our lunch with my wife. All staff were so good. Our ordered cuisines were also very good. There was very comfortable place. I look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you!

    Joshua did a subtle soft sell of the Haggis Fritters to this old Louisiana Cajun. I had to declare they were “ c'est bon”. The haggis fritters tasted a bit like boudin balls without the rice. The Belhaven Stout was full tasting without being heavy on the tongue. So if you’re a first time Haggis eater, then head on down to the Advocate and ask for Joshua.

    Great bar, and couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received from the bartenders, Kalina and Andrew. So kind and so helpful with our many questions.
