The Cawdor Tavern
About
The Cawdor Tavern is a modern Scottish country pub and restaurant nestled in the picturesque conservation village of Cawdor, just a stone’s throw from the historic Cawdor Castle. With a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere it serves a carefully curated menu of contemporary Scottish dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, complementing a well‑stocked selection of real ales, malts, and fine wines. Guests can enjoy the rustic charm of the Lounge Bar, featuring a traditional log fire and original oak paneling donated from the castle, or the lively Main Bar equipped with a pool table, darts, and a log‑burning stove. During the summer months the colourful patio offers al‑fresco dining and drinking in a relaxed setting. Reservations are always recommended, and the tavern remains closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, with different opening hours through the week.
