The Cock and Bull

Toggle location map

The Cock and Bull has been owned by the same family since 1996 when it was purchased as a traditional watering hole and converted into a cosy, intimate inn serving honest food in lovely surroundings.

Included in the Michelin Eating Out in Pubs guide, everything is made on the premises from fresh local ingredients and the seasonally changing menu is complimented by chef’s specials.  

Winner of numerous awards including Grampian Chef of the Year in 2004, 2009 and 2014 and Scottish Gastropub of the Year 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Cock and Bull has been described by award judges as…

“a quintessential gastro pub, a bustling hostelry, popular with locals and whose fame has spread. It offers great service, natural ambience and a lovely genuine warmth with superb food and a menu brimming with local produce.”

The Cock and Bull is also the proud recipient of an AA rosette.

You can enjoy a meal in the informal Conservatory, the cosy Lounge with log fire, or in the chic contemporary Restaurant.

We have often had requests over the years for a bed for the night by diners who, after a lovely meal and a few malts settled by the fire, simply don’t want to leave. Well now we are delighted to be able to offer a place to stay to round off your evening!

Situated next to the restaurant our newly refurbished Blairton cottage has everything you need for the night. Breakfast can be provided either in your room, the restaurant or in your own private garden.

Blairton is ideally suited for both professionals and tourists visiting on business or pleasure so let us provide you with a unique place to stay to take the hassle out of getting home.
