The pub offered great food and beer. I really enjoyed those! The staff was friendly, cute, and very helpful to me. A full Scottish breakfast was available, I even received tips on how to prepare a perfect poached egg.
I wanted a receipt and unfortunately, getting one was a slight issue, but I didn't worry about it too much.
