Balgedie Toll Tavern

Balgedie Toll Tavern Country pub with a restaurant The Balgedie Toll Tavern, an old coaching inn has stood on this spot since 1534.

It is a welcoming and comfortable country 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. The interior is traditional with low ceilings, oak beams, stone walls and open fire places, with wooden settles and works of art by a local painter. An extensive choice of meals and bar snacks are available 5 days per week (closed Tuesday and Wednesday), freshly prepared to order by an award winning chef and his team. A good selection of Real Ales, Malt Whiskies, Wines, freshly ground coffee are available.

Final shift for KP Adam who has kept the sinks clear for past year. Thank you for keeping the kitchen highly entertained. We are going to miss guessing what questionable t-shirt you’re going to rock next or what hair colour you'll show up with—though your iconic blonde phase is definitely going down in kitchen history! Good luck Adam you'll be missed!

The annual Uni exodus continued tonight with the lovely Gillian wrapping up her final shift before heading off to university 🎓📐True to form, she successfully dodged the camera on her way out the door, so you'll just have to remember her smiling face 🏃‍♀️💨. Gillian - our very special Warrior Queen.

Almost forgot KP extraordinaire Fergus who sneaked off without the social media team noticing...good luck Fergus!

We have been so lucky to have had such an amazing group of young people over the last few years.

4 down, 1 to go....

Time for Change at Balgedie Toll Tavern

After nearly nine years, I have decided it’s time to call it a day at the Balgedie Toll Tavern. Running a six day a week operation is undoubtedly hard work — though enjoyable — but having turned 60 this year, the moment is right to pass on the custodianship of the Toll and make a little more time for family and life beyond the bar.
The current plan is to finish at the end of December, with our final food service taking place on 24th December. Until then it is very much business as usual.
The building landlord will be advertising the lease in the usual trade publications, but if anyone out there is interested, please do get in touch. There is certainly an opportunity for someone to take it on as a going concern, we’ll be leaving behind a loyal community who have supported us over the years, it would mean a lot to think someone out there could build on what we’ve created.
We have now stopped selling Gift vouchers and would encourage anyone who still has valid vouchers to try and use them before 24th December.

Cheers

Small world time, had two American tables in, ones best friend lives in the same apartment block as the others sister. Passed each other probably 100s of times, met and spoke to each other in the Balgedie Toll, quite amazing.
