That’s a wrap! On Sunday, the time has come for us to pass Kingarth on to new guardians once again.
We want to thank each-and-every one of the people who have supported us over the last almost 29 years. The local farming community who never fail to choose Kingarth; the wider Bute community who have been prepared to drive out in all weathers and at all times of the year; the locals in Kingarth and Kilchattan Bay who always make the effort to walk up to Kingarth; all these people and the streams of tourist visitors who return time after time - YOU have made this little country pub what it is today, and we know you will continue to support it with Abi Brooks and Ryan Aitken at the helm.
I have often said over these past years that Kingarth is one of those places that you can never truly "own". You can only strive to look after it for a while, and hope that your efforts leave it in a better place than you found it. I believe we have achieved this. Twice!
So, having built ourselves a fantastic little local, we look forward to joining you on the other side of the bar !
With love, Simon, Maria and Oliver Tettmar
