Just had one of the best bar lunches ever. Just went in for a sandwich and ended up with the chicken burger which is a whole breast fillet of chicken and we opted for a haggis topping. Delicious!! Served with crisp chips, coleslaw and a little salad with delightful dressing [owner gave us the recipe]. Don't like burgers but this... More

Many years ago, the Smugglers restaurant was thriving, with people queuing outside to get in for lunch/dinner. Since then, after several bad owners with lots of plans, but little substance, it was very much on the slide. Until now. We recently visited a couple of times for dinner, and barring the small hiccup of a couple of items having run... More

We have visited here a few times in recent months after hearing that it was under new ownership and we have thoroughly enjoyed it each time. The main bar area has a lovely welcoming atmosphere with it's unusual centerpiece bar in the shape of an old ship's hull. The restaurant area is small but serves great pub food and there... More

Stayed in the Smugglers for a short break in the country. Room we stayed in was furnished to a very high standard and great value (breakfast was great as well). Pub has great atmosphere - the bar is a boat (see pictures on the website) and there is an open fire. Meals are avialable for lunch and dinner. The food... More
