Located a short walk from central station, the Bothwell House team say they’ll offer a ‘modern and comfortable dining experience’ alongside an imaginative cocktail-led bar in the city centre.

What’s on the menu? Seasonal dishes include a rich, beef cheek and shallot pie with a handmade savoury herb crumb top, creamy mash potato, and glazed heritage carrots.
