Hidden from the outside world, this homely pub provides rare ales, many whiskies, a roaring fire and the day's papers to the surprisingly few regulars who frequent it. In fact, if you had to describe what a pub was to someone from Pluto, this would do the job. There's even a bar billiards tables with a set of rules, just to make it easier for them.

Beer-wise, you'll find sought-after Italian Moretti on draught, Theakston Paradise Ale, Caledonian Flying Dutchman and Deuchars IPA, potentially chased with Maker's Mark, Highland Park or Glenlivet. There are Brodie's sherries, too, and bog-standard wines you needn't bother with. Various branches of the deer family make a decorative appearance, as do unusual tribal masks.

King Charles the 1st is one surprising Pub! With a good selection of Ale, that they change all the time for the happinness of the customers of trying new Ales.
Nice and cosy, tucked away in a little road, not far from the station (5 minutes walk), the decoration is very ethlectic and surprising, the bar staff warm and friendly, and the people in there are very electric and always up for a good laugh ... made a few friends myself! Highly recommended for anyone thats looking for a nice time without any troubles!!
