Mallard, Dingwall

*** Highlands & Western Isles pub opening and food service times currently vary nearly on a day-to-day basis, mostly dependent on establishments' access to bar and waiting staff. Hence you will almost certainly see different times than those published here. Please DO NOT send updates to either opening or food service times, as trying to hit a moving target is a waste of our very limited resources. Instead, overall opening and restaurant times will be updated at the next full survey. Your understanding is appreciated. We welcome notifications of 'dog friendliness' however four legs good, two legs better. As you might imagine for a website called WhatPub, the main aim is to highlight the quality of ales. Thus, please include an assessment of a pub's beer(s) when you notify us of its cynophile status! ***.

Popular bar located at Dingwall railway station, particularly busy on football match days due to the proximity to the Ross County Football Club Ground. There is an outside drinking area which borders the station platform.

Formerly, a single hand pump dispensed cask Belhaven 80/-, usually in good condition.

The Mallard can open at 10:00 using what is known as "grandfather rights". Under a 1976 law the pub is allowed to cater for railway passengers.

[Update 10 Aug 2024: "Just been in here today and no ale on sale and no sign of a hand pump either. Dingwall is an ale-free town sadly."]
