We are thrilled to introduce ourselves as the new owners of the Kinleith Mill. 🥳
The pub changes hands on Tuesday and we intend to minimise downtime and to be back open from the 1st of May, with drinks only for now, allowing some settling in days! ❤️
Taking over such a well loved local landmark is a real privilege, and I wanted to share a few updates with the community. 😃
Having worked in pubs, bars hotels, restaurants, clubs for 20+ years with all brewers, pub groups etc, we have latterly built up business with Heineken pubs on a long term and short term basis across multiple locations. 🍺
An agreement was struck with Iona after we were approached to consider taking over the reigns and we felt it impossible to say no, we know all too well the reality of the industry and economic times we live in, but we really love this pub 🤩
We currently operate other successful pubs in the city, including the Caley Sample Room, which we’ve been proud to build up over recent years through some famously tough times for the industry. We’re excited to bring that same passion and commitment to the Kinleith. 👈
First and foremost, I want to say a massive thank you to Gillian and Ben. Running a pub for 21+ years is a monumental achievement, and the heart they put into this place is clear to see. I am incredibly grateful for how they’ve handled this transition, they’ve been nothing but gracious, supportive and amicable every step of the way while they have poured their hearts into building the business we now see today. ❤️
We want you to keep enjoying the Kinleith you know and love, but we do have some exciting "small but mighty" changes coming very soon:
🥃 More for your pour: We are moving to 35ml spirit measures as standard!
🍷Wine menu refresh
🍴 A brand new food menu is currently in the works, stay tuned while we build our kitchen team.
🔧 Some essential maintenance will be ongoing with a minor "glow up"
