Wine Tasting Weekend!

In preparation for the new wine menus in the Barn Bar @Cologin we're planning a wine tasting weekend to select our favourites. Anyone who knows me will also know I don't need much encouragement to have a drink! However, the Ducan diet book has been sitting on my desk for the last two weeks as I am attempting to slim down in time for a good friend's wedding at the Isle of Eriska (low lucky is she) in December. Should I start the diet and rely on the feedback of others to chose the wines for the pub or should I give myself an excuse to put off doing the diet for another few weeks! No contest! I will drink the wines and sod the diet! (And don't worry Karen - I've already bought my dress and as long as I don't put any weight on I'm good to go!)

The Barn Bar

At the end of this month The Barn will be back with the Battison family as Andrew senior and Andrew junior move on after five years at Cologin. I can't believe it's been that long!

We've some exciting plans for development (bank willing) and will soon be in touch to find out your views and what you'd like to see on offer at The Barn. We've already had some excellent suggestions from our regular visitors - brunch at the weekends, more local produce and more music!

The Edinburgh Hash House Harriers will be at Cologin en masse the first weekend in November so we will hit the ground running! Oban Spit Roast company will be catering on Saturday evening for the Hash private party feeding 100 hungry Hashers with a tasty hog roast and all the trimmings. The Barn will stay open over the winter (weekends only) and will close for a couple of weeks after our last guests leave following Hogmanay (around the 6th January) and we'll get on with our renovations.
