To all our valued customers and friends, we are sad to announce our wee pub The Steading will be closed until further notice. 😢 We’re incredibly grateful for your support since we opened our doors in June 2019 - right before the lockdown - particularly the regular customers whose faces we saw weekly, but due to a difficulty sourcing local staff to our rural location, increasing rising cost of basically EVERYTHING and the cost of living affecting a drop in customers, its forcing our hand. 😔 We are trying in the background to make things work so stay tuned here for updates.
We look forward to welcoming you back soon for more good times, great drinks, and fond memories. Steading Management x

3PM OPENING TODAY...🎄

Say hello to Natalie and Aldina, this weekend’s guest bartenders. They’re holding down the fort today, with doors at 3pm. The fire 🔥 will be on, the pints 🍺 are fresh and we have even have a decent 0% range for anyone driving, including Guinness 0% and Tennent’s Zero.

Thanks to last night’s guests for helping with our leaking tap issue! Mike Coutts has been out to fix it so we’re all good on that front! 🔧

Look forward to seeing some familiar faces later on!
