Barony

The Barony is a no fuss old school pub tucked away on Broughton Street. The decor is dark wood paneling with some very rustic furniture, all making a very relaxed atmosphere.

As you would expect from a pub like this the selection of beers was decent with a good selection of regional ales and a few standard lagers to fill in the space. I decided to get a pint of the local Caledonian Flying Scotsman which tasted really fresh - no surprise as the brewery is just down the road from the pub.



The food menu had all the usual pub classics including burgers, fish and chips, all priced at a very reasonable £7-8. The highlight for most was the interesting selection of pies, which included plain beef and chicken and mushroom. The food was decent, leaning much more towards quantity than quality. It also looked to be freshly prepared, dismissing the fear at some pubs that you are being served a factory prepared meal.



The service was generally good - maybe a little bit inefficient however the staff were pleasant. In all, The Barony is a good pub with no major complaints by the patrons on this day. It stands out from the crowd with its decent selection of beers and value for money.
