This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Opened in June 2011, the Salisbury Arms was the first Scottish venture of the Village Pub and Kitchen group (their takeover of the Sheep’s Heid being a close second). With 39 establishments across the UK their ethos is to keep an independent spirit in each, offer a selection of real ales and good pub grub in a spruced-up interior. The menu is enormous – dive into starters, sharing platters (cheese, fish or house sampler), main courses ‘from the land’, ‘from the sea’ and ‘from the garden’. Add sandwiches, a good selection of desserts and daily specials and it may take a while to make a decision. Local diners and residents of the many guesthouses in the vicinity can tuck into slow-roasted pork belly with red cabbage and onion rings (served as a starter or main course), beef rib, mushroom and Guinness pie, burgers, fish and chips and a couple of vegetarian options. With Sunday platters, fish Fridays, grill Thursdays and Ladies Night they certainly can’t be accused of a lack of variety.
- High point: Lots of choice
- Low point: Views of a very busy main road

I kept hearing great things about the old transformation of what used to be the Crags , so I had to try it. Went yesterday to make the most of the one day of summer, and had the best pub lunch I've had in years. Pub prices for restaurant quality food, and a brilliant pint of Bitter and Twisted. I had home made Haggis soup, and a steak sandwich in the garen - superb.
