Never find the back bar to be especially friendly. Although they normally serve Deuchars it's not been available since lockdown restrictions eased. No other real ale.

Set up for diners in the Lounge but still happy to serve drinkers. Surprised to see Bass on keg. Instructed to 'Serve Cold'.

Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA3.80PoorIn a blindfold test this could easily be mistaken for Tennents! No hops, no smooth malt base. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Quiet but excellent, friendly service. Beer crept up to £3.55.

Inveralmond - Lia Fail4.70AcceptableServed in good enough condition this is another anonymous brown malty beer overlaid with that Inveralmond trademark flinty finish.
