An award-winning pub and restaurant has celebrated its 10th birthday … by giving away presents to customers.
The Corbie Inn at Corbiehall in Bo’ness awarded ten, £50 vouchers in a free draw.
The lucky winners were picked out of a hat by the new Bo’ness Fair Queen Ellie Van Der Hoek tonight (Thursday, October 28), assisted by her brother Koen.
The winners are: Jaknjok Brown, Rebecca Brown, Cathie Burton, Lyn Clarkson, Glenis Dryburgh, Graham Healer, Lesleyanne Laura Hutchens, Ailsa Miller, Stacey Christie Roberts and Hazel Templeton.
(The pub will get in touch over the next few days with prize-winners.)
Bo’ness Fair Queen Ellie Van Der Hoek, with her brother Koen, draws the names of the winners.
The pub is run by Gail and Giles Fairholm and family – backed by an enthusiastic staff team.
Gail said: “As we reached our 10th birthday, we wanted to thank our lovely customers for their amazing support.
“Each of the ten winners gets £50 to spend on food and drinks in the pub. I hope they enjoy their prizes. I also want to thank Queen Ellie for helping us make the draw.”
The Corbie Inn was officially opened on 28 October, 2011, with a simple mission: to offer real ales and good food in a safe, child and family-friendly environment. The pub also wanted to be at the heart of the community, supporting local fundraising and charity activities.
Over the years it has notched up several accolades from the Best Bar None awards and groups such as CAMRA (the Campaign for Real Ale).
Gail said: “Initially, the Corbie was just one lounge bar, located in a building that’s over 100 years old. We’ve grown substantially since then. We added a beer garden in 2013. And then a restaurant area, and second bar, opened in 2015.
“Throughout our time here we’ve wanted to help the wider community – and have done sponsorships and hosted fundraising events to support people in the Bo’ness area. We’ve also hosted community and social events, which have been well received.”
The Covid pandemic, in 2020, saw the pub temporarily close its doors to sit-in customers.
However, the Corbie continued to trade – launching a new “Corbie Out” service, delivering drinks and food to residents in the local area. After customers were welcomed back on site, the delivery service continued to be on offer. The year 2020 also saw the pub install a wood-fired pizza oven to expand its food offering.
Last summer, the venue, supported by the charity Sustrans, installed bike racks – to make the site more appealing to cyclists exploring the John Muir Way and the national cycle route. The path runs right at the back of the pub.
The pub was officially opened in October 2011.
Gail said: “It’s been quite a journey for everyone here. But we’ve had the support of some brilliant people and great customers. We want to thank them all.
“Here’s to the next 10 years!”
Madelene Hunt, the chair of Bo’ness Community Council, wished the Corbie Inn well on its 10th anniversary. “The Corbie Inn has attracted people into the centre of Bo’ness and provided a warm welcome for locals and visitors alike. The business’s support for local charities has been particularly impressive and it provides a template for others to follow.”
We’re dog-friendly here at the Corbie Inn – so we were delighted to welcome a four-legged “influencer”, the “Wee White Dug”, and his owner Samantha Grant.
Their visit was featured in their “Exploring Scotland with the Wee White Dug” blog.
Samatha writes: “Our ice cold drinks really hit the spot. The boy wasn’t forgotten either. He was offered water and biscuits and both were gratefully received. We had Cajun chicken salad with fries and garlic bread for lunch. It was excellent.
“We left, delighted to have found another fab dog friendly eatery close to home.”
Walkers and cyclists are set to benefit from enhanced facilities and discounts at a Bo’ness pub.
The Corbie Inn in the town’s Corbiehall has worked with the charity Sustrans to install a new cycle rack.
The venue has also signed up to the John Muir Way Passport Scheme – offering discounts to passport holders. It will also act as a “stamping station” for JMW passports and sell passports.
Gail Fairholm from the Corbie Inn said: “We’re just a few hundred yards from the John Muir Way itself and welcome walkers and cyclists exploring the coast-to-coast route.
“We’re pleased to improve our services for these visitors.
“We can now offer cyclists proper racking to store their bikes and give discounts to John Muir Way passport holders. We’ve also agreed to sell the passports.
“In addition, we offer free Wi-Fi and tourist information and free water top-ups for visitors’ water bottles.”

Kristen Layne, Scottish Greenways programme coordinator at Sustrans Scotland, said: “The Corbie Inn has been a true community champion, encouraging more people to make happier, healthier and more sustainable journey choices in Bo’ness.
“The Scottish Greenways Programme wants to make it easier for local residents and everyone visiting the area to walk, wheel and cycle.
“Partnership work with enthusiastic and supportive local businesses like the Corbie Inn is key in making this a reality.
“The pub’s efforts – to make the area a more attractive destination for walkers, wheelers and cyclists -have already made a hugely positive impact, and Sustrans has been delighted to support this work by providing safe cycle parking facilities through the Scottish Greenways Programme.”
The award-winning Corbie Inn is run by Gail and her husband Giles – backed by a great on-site team. The original pub building dates back more than 100 years and was re-opened as the Corbie Inn in October 2011.
Gavin Morton, marketing development officer for the Green Action Trust – which manages the John Muir Way – said: “We’re delighted to have the Corbie Inn on board, not only as a John Muir Way stamping station, but also as real advocates of walking, cycling and wheeling in Bo’ness.
“At the Green Action Trust, we are working together with Sustrans on the Greenways Programme, which aims to improve access to and use of the local path network, as well as offering local businesses a way to showcase themselves to John Muir Way users.
“Gail and Giles’ enthusiasm and willingness to go the extra mile with their new facilities is very welcome and we look forward to working with more Bo’ness businesses on this initiative.”

“To ensure we have a place for you, please call us to book a table.”
The Scottish Government hopes to move to “level two” restrictions – allowing alcoholic drinks inside pubs – from May 17. There are also hopes to ease restrictions even further in June. This is expected to allow the mixing of larger groups both inside and outside licensed premises.
