Eating Out

The Croft is well equipped to enable you to cook a variety of your own meals. However, if you were thinking of eating out locally, Archiestown is very well placed to offer many places to eat out, catering for most tastes. Be it breakfast, lunch or an evening meal, you will have plenty to choose from. We are pleased to offer some suggestions. We have visited most of these, eaten at most, and can agree they are worth a visit.
