Additional Closures
​
We will be closed on Tuesday 22nd, Tuesday 29th July and Tuesday 5th August to allow our hard working kitchen staff a break whilst we are a team member down. We will be closed on our usual Wednesdays.
​
Book Ahead
We are very grateful that we continue to be busy at weekends, and are always disappointed if we have to turn people away as they have not booked - a quick phone call can sometimes mean we can re arrange the seating plan to accommodate a booking. Please do call ahead (01592)840212.
Dog Friendly
We allow well behaved dogs into the small snug bar, which has 3 tables, therefore if you do want to bring your dog you must book ahead on your dog's behalf! We do not allow dogs in the main restaurant.

We got a mention!
​
Those of you who have visited know how much Neil loves the history of the Balgedie Toll Tavern, and we love it even more when we get a mention in a modern day work - on Page 195 to be exact! Can thoroughly recommend reading the DCI James Craig novels by John Carson.​​
About
Our Story
The Balgedie Toll Tavern is a country restaurant 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.
