New pub to brew its own gin

A new bar and restaurant which will produce its own gin is to open in St Andrews.

Rogue will be launched by pub chain Kained Holdings and Greene King and create 18 jobs.

It will open next month in the former Drouthy Neebors premises on South Street.

The pub will have its own still room where customers will be able to watch distiller Fraser Barrett, joining from the Glasgow Distillery, produce Felons gin.

Graham Suttle, director of Kained Holdings, said: “We’re making the most of a unique space, not dissimilar to the Finnieston, with low slung ceilings and plenty of opportunity for intelligent use of space.

“This is a dream project for us and we’re delighted with how the venue is looking – definitely our best looking venue to date.

“There’s a plethora of incredible local suppliers with whom we’re delighted to be working with for our outstanding produce, which we will be innovating as much as possible to get the best out of everything. We can’t wait to get going and to show St Andrews what an amazing bar and restaurant Rogue is.”

Gin tastings and distillery tours will offered and the gin produced will be sold in all Kained venues and distributed throughout 50 Greene King units.

A launch party is to be held on Saturday ahead of the opening of the pub, restaurant and distillery on April 6.
