Had gammon and chips. Absolutely brilliant. The gammon was huge. I'm a big eater and couldn't get through it. Great place, nice people, good atmosphere highly recommend.

Tasty food, friendly service. Good old fashioned pub with good old fashioned pub grub. Good atmosphere. What's not to like!?

Excellent little pub. Budvar on tap which was a pleasant surprise. Friendly staff and locals. Little outside area for when the weather allows with views towards the harbour. Also a restaurant upstairs, but I didn't have occasion to try the food on the last trip. Would highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere welcoming to stop after a day hiking or just in town.

We stopped in for lunch on a quiet day. Very welcoming, warm atmosphere, and great food.

This is kind of the quintessential small Scottish pub. You walk in, it's immediately clear everyone inside is local, know each other, and have for years.But they're also really friendly and make you feel at home.We dropped in for dinner after a tour of Belhaven brewery, and couldn't be happier that we did. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was fantastic.If you're in Dunbar, go here even if it's just for a pint.

No stars as the food was the worst I have ever had in my life. No words to describe the solidified blob passed off as mash! It was served with a MUG of tinned peas poured all over the top. DISGUSTING!!! Hard nose manager is devoid of all manners Indignant that I complained, she said she 'has never had a complaint before'. ( then read all the reviews then). The starter made me feel sick and when I mentioned it, this woman replied that she likes it..( thick goo jelly poured over a salad) Worse, this woman (said she owned the place) served a customer who had a small dog sitting on top of the table. I mentioned this to her and she replied that she never noticed the dog on the table. Really? As you served the food? Dogs were jumping up at me as I was trying to eat. Meal was def the worst I have ever had and I felt sick. A mug of tinned peas poured on the meal? Hard nosed manager giving me lip when I complained. Awful and avoid.

After parking my motorcycle near the castle I got chatting with a local who recommended the steak pie, and it was amazing. Service and food was very good, reasonably priced and I’d say better than what’s in the high street.
