Are dogs still allowed ?! X

Fantastic afternoon up at Kingarth, enjoying the sunshine and watching the world go by whilst consuming some excellent Moretti and a few G&Ts … other beverages are available and of course let's not forget the excellent food that is always served with a smile by Maria, and her friendly and attentive staff.

With the fantastic efforts of the SSE teams and local trades working long long hours into the night we now have power back at Kingarth and will be back open from 12 noon.

Sunday Roast this week is roast sirloin of beef 😋

Thank you to everyone involved in the cleanup following Eowyns wrath. 🙏
