Food: Inventive, exciting menu, immaculate presentation and the dishes I tried were super tasty! Drinks: Good variety of cocktails, the Mojito is great and there are plenty of beer options Ambiance: I love the colour scheme, the flower arrangements and, of course, the lovely staff who make the place what it is - the best in the area! Dog friendly and very attentive to furry friends, too!

The Willow is a local institution, having gone through several evolutions, improving every time. Some of the previous history can be seen inside, where you are sure to get a warm welcome from Richard or Kevin the owners. Danny is at the helm in the kitchen, and the food is great. The pub boasts a huge beer garden which catches the sun when it’s out. Totally worth dropping by :)

This gastro pub is becoming a firm favourite whenever I'm in the area. Friendly, helpful staff, interesting decor and good selection of drinks. The food is far superior to typical pub favourites featuring imaginative dishes using seasonal ingredients.

Great wee pub for food and drink. Great range of drinks available and a menu full of delicious food. Very friendly, attentive staff. This pub is also dog friendly which is a bonus! Highly recommend!

Had a great time in here for 2 minutes chatting to the Invisible Man behind the bar. Decided after waiting all this time for a member of staff to even appear I’d go elsewhere and found another place where the bartenders can actually be bothered serving their customers.

Great food, very friendly staff. Highly recommended, although I did non get asked how I would like my burger done. Nevertheless it was still very good.
