At Belhaven, we’ve been brewing great beer for over 300 years. And we know better than most that a great pint deserves something just as good on the plate beside it.
Our pub classics are hearty, honest, and made to be enjoyed exactly where they belong. In a warm pub, cold drink in hand, good company and nowhere else to be.
There’s something about a Belhaven pub that makes food taste better. Maybe it’s the welcome when you walk in, the hum of conversation around you or the familiar comfort of a menu that’s full of exactly what you fancy.
We’ve been part of Scottish life since 1719, brewing great beer and bringing people together over food for generations. Our pubs across Scotland reflect that. Honest dishes, generous portions, great prices and a great choice of food for every kind of visit.... not to mention our amazing selection of Belhaven beers, brewed just outside Edinburgh at our Dunbar brewery.
But which British pub grub and Scottish pub food classics will you find in our Belhaven pubs?
There’s something about fish and chips that puts you in mind of Scotland’s rugged coastlines. Salt air, a harbour view and nowhere to be in a hurry… We do this iconic classic properly at Belhaven. No bells or whistles needed. Golden-battered fish with chunky chips and peas, as it should be. Just add a cold pint of Belhaven Black, lashings of salt and vinegar, and plenty of time to enjoy it.
Add a Belhaven BlackMeet Scotland’s most celebrated dish, and one that deserves its reputation. You can’t beat rich, peppery haggis alongside buttery turnip and creamy mashed potato. It’s hearty, comforting and right at home at Belhaven. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or trying for the first time, we recommend pairing with Belhaven Best – Scotland’s No.1 ale.
Pair with Belhaven BestStacked high and packed with flavour, our burgers are built for those who like their pub classics generous. Beef, chicken or meat-free, they’re topped with everything from bacon and melted cheese to haggis for a distinctly Scottish twist. Choose your stack, settle into your seat and get stuck in. Best enjoyed with a cold pint, good company and a napkin…
Slow-cooked beef in a rich, deep gravy, all wrapped in buttery shortcrust pastry. This is comfort food at its very best. The sort of dish that earns its place on any pub classics menu and rewards every bit of patience that went into making it. A great pie deserves a great ale alongside it, and with over 300 years of brewing behind us, we know a thing or two about both.
Grilled chicken, smoky bacon, melted cheese and a tangy BBQ sauce. Hunter’s Chicken is the kind of pub classic that’s hard to walk past on a menu. Full of flavour and great value, it’s the sort of midweek treat that needs very little excuse and always hits the spot.
Creamy, indulgent and properly comforting. Our mac and cheese earns its place on the menu as a satisfying meal in its own right, or a crowd-pleasing side alongside another classic. Either way, it’s one of those recipes that always goes down well with a perfectly poured pint.
For those who like a bit of everything, the mixed grill is the answer. A generous spread of grilled meats on a single plate – a real feast that turns any visit into an occasion. Best enjoyed in good company, and even better with a seat in one of our beer gardens when the weather plays along. Bring an appetite – you’ll need it.
