SALTIRE REVIEWS

Did the steak night deal last Wednesday and they were very good, cooked as asked and great value for money. There was a wait due to a busy period and short staff, but we were advised of that before we ordered so it wasn't a problem. What stood out for my partner and I was the fantastic service that we received from the Manageress, Tracey, who is to be commended for how good she is with the customers. Thank you Tracey for such friendly and excellent service.

Thank you! Steaks were very tasty. Fast service and a clear menu. When we are in Scotland again, we will definitely visit this place again.

It was my first time at The Saltire, and I'm already looking forward to coming back. The food is brilliant, and the atmosphere is simply amazing. My first visit was an incredible experience. Highly recommended.

FOUR MARYS REVIEWS

An amazing pub. Fitted us in earlier than booked eventhough really busy. Very good service didn't get the waiters name but was so friendly and patient with our group. Accepted dogs within the bar area, which was great as had a dog with us. Food was really good portion sizes and value for money and worked around our various dietary requirements within the group.

Four Mary's is a quaint little pub in the main street of Linlithgow. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with a fireplace in the eating area. The food is sensational and could only be topped by the friendly staff. They were getting busy when we were there and yet the staff still had time for a chat.

Best pub around! The Four Marys is more than its iconic name; nestled on Linlithgow’s High St they have the coziest atmosphere, the absolute best selection of cask beers (which is constantly rotating, so be sure to check out what’s pouring every week!) and the friendliest staff around! Whether your looking for a nice a spot of lunch/dinner, a beer with friends or catching some live music at the weekend, this pub has you covered 10/10.

BLACK BULL INN REVIEWS

We booked the black bull to host our joint hen party last weekend and we cannot recommend it enough. All the girls were so helpful, friendly and genuine. Everything we asked for they were able to do. The bar was so so busy but we were always able to be served quickly. They organised the DJ and stored our buffet in advance of the evening and cleared up after the party was over. I went back and picked everything up the next day and everything was tidied into a big box for us. Absolutely stand out night, would recommend hiring the black bull to anyone. Xxx.

Very friendly local pub. 2 bars, one larger for food and drinks, and a smaller old school bar for dominoes and pints.

The Black Bull during the day and Black Bull at night are two different pubs. During the day it's nice and relaxing with amazing food, At night it's a bouncing pub with great music,the karaoke on a Friday and Saturday is a night to remember. The DJ has to be one of the best I've ever heard. The staff are really nice too. A warm, friendly pub regardless of what time you go.
