This can now be regarded as the furthest north Wetherspoons following the sale of the Alexander Bain in Wick, it is marginally further north than the Saltoun Inn in Fraserburgh! Re-furbished in September 2018, this is a typical small Wetherspoon's converted from what was once a bicycle repair shop, then a Halfords branch. The pleasant long room has ample seating, a family area and a long bar. Deservedly popular, so it can get very busy, particularly at weekends.

Eight handpumps offer a wide range of beers from national and Scottish micro-breweries, often including one beer from Windswept and ciders available during annual cider-fest. The pub also stocks a wide range of malt whiskies from more than 20 local distilleries. Usual two beer festivals annually, one Scottish and the other World.

Coffee and breakfasts from 8am-12 noon and alcohol is served from 11.

Information for this venue is provided by the Aberdeen Grampian & N Isles Branch of CAMRA
