We took over the Bridge Inn at the start of 2010. We have a clear vision for what we are trying to achieve: a friendly pub with a warm welcome and delicious food. Wherever possible we use seasonal, Scottish, fresh, local produce, and everything is freshly prepared. We grow our own herbs and vegetables in a walled garden slightly along the canal from the pub. We have a small herd of saddleback pigs, and our menus often feature delicious home-produced pork on the menu. We use locally-shot game when it is in season. We always have a range of cask ales from breweries which we know throughout Scotland. We have had lots of fun selecting our wine list, which we have tried to make one of the best value wine lists in Scotland. And we currently have on a selection of over 20 single malts from around this beautiful country.

We have now finished an ambitious renovation project that has transformed the Bridge Inn. We have created an atmospheric country pub in the 18th century part of the builidng with open fires and comfortable seating. We have altered the upstairs to create 4 beautiful and unique ensuite bedrooms. They each have a different feel, but each has its own view of the canal and surrounding countryside. Finally our bistro alongside the canal has been upgraded and we have added a terrace alongside the building to make the most of our unique setting.

We are situated less than 10 minutes from Edinburgh airport, 7 miles from the centre of Edinburgh, 5 minutes from the M8 and M9 motorways, and a perfect situation to explore central Scotland – Glasgow, Perth and Stirling all being within an hours journey.

We look forward to welcoming you to Ratho soon.

Graham and Rachel

Chef Ben Watson, who joined us in September 2011, has created a delicious new menu for February 2012.  The menu features home -bred saddleback pork from Ratho Hall alongside kale and chard from the walled garden.  The menu also champions local pigeon and venison as well as hand dived scallops from the west coast.  We have 35 day hung sirloin steaks from the borders as well as Buccleugh fillet stuffed with haggis.  All this alongside our pub favourites of delicious shetland haddock and our famous homemade pie of the week.
