    2nd visit to The Auld Hundred and again very happy with the whole visit. Staff were polite, friendly and attentive while speaking with us. Food was just delicious 🤤, I opted for smaller starter & sides as my 'main' and it was perfect balance of filling but light (the batter on the goujons was 👌🏼). Will definitely be visiting again 😍.
