Bothy - Menu

Good beer and pleasant service, definitely worth stopping by if you're in the neighborhood.

What do you want me to say? a classic Scottish bar with great beer and above average eating. this is the place to return to the nearby hills after a cold day.

The food is good and this restaurant is a great option for dining without a reservation. It seems that reservations are required at more popular establishments.

The bar was quite attractive and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food itself, however, was nothing spectacular (though not bad) for the prices charged.

That might have helped us from getting our hopes up and leaving this review. Their loss.

Busy kitchen on the night, by all accounts. No draught beers due to 'maintenance '? The food that myself and my partner had was fantastically underwhelming...sadly, we wanted a treat as it was our last night away. Steak and ale pie with 'seasonal vegetables ', small amount of mash with handful of frozen peas/green beans. Maybe seasonal in Iceland, the shop!... Mac and cheese, surely you can 't go wrong? Sadly, yes you can. Stodgy, overcooked pasta, unable to pick up a full piece and very little taste of cheese. Come on! Serve proper veg, it 's cheap.
