Mother's Day
Sunday 15th March 2026
​
The diary is beginning to fill up for Mother's Day, so please be sure to call ahead (01592) 840212, it is the 2nd busiest day of the year for us,we love seeing families enjoying time together and hate having to disappoint folk.
We will be running with our main menu, with delicious options on the Specials Board.
​
Dog Friendly
​
Just a gentle reminder that we have a small area that is dog friendly but it is popular and you must book ahead to avoid being turned away.
​
​
After much persuasion by the young team we now have an Instagram page - please pop over the follow us. Helen Sharp, the landlady and toll keeper of 1896, might find Instagram utterly fascinating yet bewildering (a bit like Neil!). She'd likely marvel at the ability to share of daily life with folks far and wide, all at the touch of button.
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.
