Whisky – over 300 different kinds of it (the Cu Dhub 'black whisky' is a particular treat with its touch of coffee and honey) – is the beverage of choice at this liver-threatening, proper English pub that also does home-style meals (gammon, pies etc). An old-fashioned boozer with open fires in the back rooms and a cosy atmosphere…perfect on a cold evening.
