The Newliston Arms is a village pub and kitchen at 78 Main Street in Kirkliston. Its classic bar, cosy snug and spacious beer garden provide a relaxed setting for family meals, meet-ups, match days and weekend gatherings.
The menu concentrates on hearty pub cooking, with dishes such as steak pie, fish and chips, macaroni cheese, burgers and chicken fajitas. Starters and sharing plates let groups begin informally or put together food to accompany drinks.
Scottish touches include haggis bonbons and a Balmoral-style burger, while vegan and children’s choices help accommodate mixed parties. Sticky toffee pudding, brownies and waffles offer familiar finishes after the main meal.
Local ales and the wider bar selection reinforce the venue’s identity as a community pub rather than a formal restaurant. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should consult current information and speak to staff about ingredients and kitchen preparation.
Address: 78 Main Street, Kirkliston EH29 9AB, Scotland
