Pubs & bars

Our beautiful Manor house is situated in the heart of the Welsh Valleys and easily accessible from both Cardiff and Newport. The Manor is within minutes of the small town of Blackwood, which has a good variety shops and facilities including golf…

An honest, frill-free hub for local Scottish folk music, the Royal Oak represents Edinburgh’s ever-diminishing traditional face, stripped of canned bagpipes, faux chandeliers and obscure cocktail ingredients – in fact, any cocktail ingredients. This is…

There’s always a lively buzz around this ground-level section of the popular restaurant where staff move with a studied air of relaxed professionalism amid babbling West Enders. Although it’s lighter in spirit and intentionally less formal than the room…

With Boswell and Johnston supposedly meeting here, The White Horse has pedigree and 250 years on it remains popular with a diverse clientele. The stone walls provide some historic character but friendly bar staff and comfy seats contribute more to the…

In the art deco-style surroundings of Hatfield's Ramada Hotel, The Comet Brasserie & Bar is a relaxed place to dine for sightseers, locals and shoppers alike. Located in the original part of the building, designed to reflect the iconic de Havilland…

One of Scotland's longest running rock clubs, spanning nearly 30 years still in its spiritual home of Bathgate. Playing a blend of classic rock through to newer tracks and videos in our new custom made venue still proves to be a great night out for…
