Our vision
We took over the Bridge Inn in 2010, since when we have transformed the building and the menus. Whatever your reason for joining us - a drink with friends, some delicious food in our bistro or outside terrace, a bed for the night or a boat-trip on the canal - we can assure you of a warm welcome from staff who care.
Fresh produce
We grow and rear much of our own produce, and our Head Chef Ben and our Gardener Charlie work together to put the freshest food on your plate - often the same day it was picked. Our walled garden produces the freshest seasonal fruit and vegetables throughout the year. We breed our own saddleback pigs, who live outside in the fresh air - a happy pig produces the tastiest pork.
A Warm Welcome
In the summer it's barbecues and summer drinks on the terrace or in the beer garden. In winter it's sitting beside our log fire, or cosying up in one of our beautifully-appointed bedrooms. All year round, it's about us making sure you feel at home, and making sure that when you go, you will want to come back.
"Pub of the year"
We are delighted by the hundreds of positive comments we have received from our customers. We were also thrilled this year, in our first season after our refurbishment, to win Catering in Scotland's Pub Excellence Award 2012 - their "Pub of the Year". This summer we were also featured in Shortlist Magazine'sTop 50 Gastropubs in the UK.
Rooms
Situated only a few minutes from Edinburgh Airport, each of our four beautiful and unique ensuite bedrooms has a different feel.
