Since 2012

Two floors, one warm welcome

Since 2012, The Barony has been part of life on Biggar’s High Street. Downstairs is the restaurant: easy lunches, long Sunday tables and dinners that run a little later than planned, with a menu that changes every month and everything made in our own kitchen.

Upstairs is our private dining room and bar for up to 40 guests, kept for the birthdays, weddings and gatherings that deserve a room of their own.
