About Us

Tim and Oonagh bought the West End in December 2017. An Edinburgh native, Tim spent much of his career in London at drinks company Diageo, also taking the professional diploma at Leiths School of Food & Wine in London during a year out from the office. While his job took him to New York for a few years, Oonagh also took the opportunity to spend several years in the Caribbean in hotel management.  Running their own place was on the cards for some time, and when they saw the 'for sale' sign at the West End, a conversation over a pint with local Captain Willie started them on the path to buying the place.  It's been a rollercoaster ever since, but Tim and Oonagh are delighted to see the pub once again thriving.
