The menu is creative and well made. Fairly quick service, really nice staff, and in a stunning location. It's 50 minutes from us, and we live in Edinburgh so have really excellent options nearby, but we will be going back.

Great place to visit for lunch in a snug environment with authentically helpful and courteous staff. The food was lovely, well presented and reasonably priced. I was impressed by the fact that they offered 'small plate' portions, which were satisfying sizes for a number of our guests.
The Balgedie Toll Tavern is a welcoming and comfortable family run tavern which, like many others built at the time in Scotland, was situated at a road toll where travellers would break their journey and pay tolls before travelling on (the Tolls were abolished in 1872). Now much extended, the oldest part of the building (the toll house) is at the southern end.
It has two restaurant seating areas, one upstairs and one downstairs in the main bar plus a small snug bar where well behaved dogs are welcomed (booking advised). The interior is traditional with low ceilings, oak beams, stone walls and open fire places. An extensive choice of meals and bar snacks are available 6 days per week, freshly prepared to order. Closed all day Wednesday.
