Easter Weekend

We are taking bookings for Easter weekend, and still have tables for Easter Sunday if you want to join us please book as soon as possible. (01592) 840212 We will be running our normal menu with some delicious specials.

We have got a couple of delicious new starters on the menu - Tiger Prawn Brioche and Cajun Corn Ribs. For mains we have got a Mushroom Panisse as a vegan option, and a Lamb Penne Ragu which started life on the specials board and proved popular.

We have also decided to change to burger to Wagyu beef - for those not familiar Wagyu beef is known for its marbling, which gives it a rich flavour and buttery texture. Wagyu beef is also high in protein and healthy fats, and contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

The long standing Balgedie Smokie has also had a refresh - sales were dropping and we felt it was time after 5+ years to have a look at the recipe, and Edward has come up with a delicious version - Balgedie Smokie#2 - same tasty peat smoked haddock, with a roasted tomato and red pepper fondue glazed with cheddar cheese served with rumbledethump potatoes and vegetables. Rumbledethump is a dish which is said to have come from the Scottish border regions. The name is thought to have come from the sound that the potatoes and cabbage make when being mixed together in a large pot with a wooden spoon. We understand the original Smokie had a loyal, albeit declining fan base and we are sure you will enjoy Smokie#2.

"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." -

About

Our Story

The Balgedie Toll Tavern is a country pub in rural Kinross-shire, serving great food and real ales. Run by Neil Cairney and family since September 2019 you can be assured of a warm welcome.

The Balgedie Toll Tavern is a welcoming and comfortable country tavern which, like many others built at the time in Scotland, was situated at a road toll where travellers would break their journey and pay tolls before travelling on (the Tolls were abolished in 1872). Now much extended, the oldest part of the building (the Toll house) is at the southern end.

It has two restaurant seating areas, downstairs in the main bar and the small snug bar. The interior is traditional with low ceilings, oak beams, stone walls and open fire places. On a sunny day the outside seating area provides a place to relax.

A good selection of real ales, malt whiskies, wines, and gins are available. Locally roasted coffee and great food are served 6 days, we are closed all day on a Wednesday.

From traditional recipes to Head Chef Edward's kitchen adventures, the menu reflects our passion for high-quality local seasonal food presented in a simple yet pleasing manner.
