Golf Inn at Ladybank Wins Best Independent Bar in the East of Scotland at Molson Coors Scottish Entertainment and Hospitality Awards

Lodged by Claire Baker (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 18 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Craig and Alison Arthur, landlords at the Golf Inn at Ladybank, on winning the award for the best independent bar in the east of Scotland category at the Molson Coors Scottish Entertainment and Hospitality Awards, following a public vote; understands that the business has experienced difficulty after having to close due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the cost of energy prices, but that it has, however, managed to overcome these challenges after diversifying into takeaways and sales of local produce, offering strawberries and potatoes to crafts, jams and cakes; believes that Mr and Mrs Arthur bought the pub, which was previously the Railway Tavern, in May 2019, and have transformed it into a modern community hub known for its regular quizzes and open mic nights, with live music being a prominent part of the business, and extends its very best wishes for the continued success of the business and for the future.
