🍂 AUTUMN AT THE ESPY 🍂

September’s here, the weather’s turning and we’ve given the Espy menu a wee autumn tidy-up.

Same Espy. Same favourites. A few tweaks, a few cracking deals & plenty of good stuff still on the menu.

Breakfast might have gone to bed for now, but breakfast rolls are still here ALL DAY — bacon, sausage, haggis or hash brown, with our Roll & Coffee deal for £7.

We’ve still got the burgers, dirty fries, nachos, chicken parmys, cocktails, cold pints and all the usual Espy nonsense — plus Tight Ass Tuesdays, Parmy Army Thursdays and plenty more.

🍂 OUR AUTUMN OPENING HOURS

Sunday – Wednesday: 12 noon – 10pm
Thursday – Saturday: 12 noon – 1am
Kitchen: 12 noon – 9pm every day

And yes, there is some bigger Espy news too…

After 18+ years, Amanda’s final day at the Espy will be Sunday 11th October. ❤️

The Espy itself isn’t disappearing — after a wee makeover, it’ll reopen under new management. New chapter. Same spot. Still by the sea.
