Restaurant with bar at rear & cigar terrace/bar above
The small Boisdale chain of Scottish-themed venues is owned by Ranald Macdonald, in line to be 25th chief of Clan Ranald, and once described by Tatler as the most politically incorrect restaurateur in Britain. There is no cask ale but an attractive mix of restaurant (oysters, caviar, champagne, a Jacobite menu and house specialties, and seegars), and The Macdonald Bar featuring keg Shepherd Neame Whitstable Bay Blonde, Spitfire, and Asahi and Guinness - and live jazz Mon-Sat; an optional charge is payable by those already in Boisdale after 8pm; there's an admission charge after 10pm. The Macdonald Bar has been created in an old stables, using recovered shop fittings and the frontage is said to be from the demolished Fortune of War pub in East London. Now in conformance with CAMRAs definition of a pub.
