'The Ben', originally served the needs of the local community and still does today. Cromarty ales rotate. Outside, circular bench tables on the grassy area allow fantastic panoramic views of the estuary and causeway below.

[Update 4 Oct 2022: Report of no real ale on, and hand pumps looking disused for some time].
