About Herringbone
Herringbone is all about relaxed, refined neighbourhood hospitality. With welcoming interiors, thoughtfully sourced menus, and a warm local vibe, our venues in North Berwick and Goldenacre serve simple, seasonal food, quality wines, and carefully crafted cocktails from morning brunch to evening catch-ups.
