Great staff and atmosphere, service was fantastic. The only issue I had was with the gluten free breakfast, alternative swaps were made for gluten containing items but they were a little unusual. Gluten free versions of the items, sausages, black pudding, haggis are easy to obtain. Especially sausages why not just serve GF versions as standard, many options available for this and price point not really different. If you are not in need of gluten free it’s fabulous but do think they can do a bit better for coeliac sufferers.
