Hi Dan. I saw the menu in a friend’s paper and it looked awesome. Then I realised I want to invite some vego friends – will there be vegetarian options?

Hi Gem, 

To be completely honest, it’s not something that we had really considered (carno-centric of us!). 

But we would like to be as inclusive as we can. How many friends of yours are vegetarian? If, when booking, you could advise us of how many need vegetarian courses we’ll try to accommodate them.

The beers/cider have been specifically matched to different combinations of foods & flavours and any great variations on these would create different experiences.

But we’ll certainly do our best to create some vegetarian courses that will suit the beers provided.

Cheers!

Dan

Never heard of Brewdog? They make some excellent beers.

No I haven’t. Yes, there’s some good, even great, beers in Scotland – Black Isle, Skye and Orkney breweries spring to mind,but damn you’ve got to look for them.

Thumper you need to read some of Chris Shanahan’s comments about the Wig & Pen’s beer. Richard the brewer has won so many awards that his beer is really good.

Hmm, I’ve had one that I’d call excellent, a few that I’d call good, while the rest fail to live up to the hype. And those pretentious labels, gah.

Ye missed out on t’ good stuff lad. I reckon there’s a direct relationship between latitude and quality of beer in England. The further north you go, the better it gets. Until you hit Scotland.

I will admit that the Wig does brew good beer. However, having spent many, many months touring southern england in pusuit of beer, I stand by my original assertion. 🙂

I haven’t been to England so I haven’t tried any of their beers fresh from the cask. I can only assume they’re better than the bottled examples we get here which are generally dire.

Some of the best British beers I’ve had came from Orkney.

Like white basketball players, there is no really good beer in Australia 🙂
