Good food well presented, cooked to order with all the trimmings. Very pleasant country pub with a genuine welcome from the staff. Felt very much like a local should. Busy place, people coming and going all the time, would advise you book first. Tuesday was steak night, Friday is fish night, all freshly cooked.

We had not been in Ardler for years.
After hearing good things about the food we thought we would try it for ourselves .
We booked ahead ( my Mum had been recently for lunch ) as she thought it was a bit small.
We were given a friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble .
The food arrived after an acceptable amount of time and was very tasty.
There was a vast and varied selection of cakes accompanied by scones.
The only down side would be the aesthetics of the carpet ( old, stained and dirty) and the toilets need revamped. That being said it didn’t put us off.
We will return.
