About the Pub
This small, long, elegant pub is named after John Shanks (see picture) who was a shoemaker and an important figure in the conservation of Elgin Cathedral. Sponsored by local gentleman, Isaac Forsyth, Shanks cleared the grounds of centuries of rubbish dumping and rubble and was officially appointed Keeper and Watchman in 1826.
Excellent coffee and cakes; plus imaginative breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. Bar meals most of the day and restaurant meals only every day.
A growing whisky collection stands at around 100 with large Gin and Cocktail selection. Up to three real ales on handpump from Scottish and national brewers are at prmium prices, plus many local bottled beers.
Outside drinking on benches in lane with awnings and heaters.
