Hectors, located in the historic Stockbridge area of Edinburgh, officially reopened this September following an extensive 5-week refurbishment, giving the iconic pub an exciting new look.

The pub has been given a facelift while keeping its traditional look and feel inside.

Changes include a new hand-carved wooden gantry, brand new furniture, and a fresh frontage colour scheme.

Hectors is renowned for its friendly and welcoming team, as well as the selection of comforting Scottish pub fayre.

The pub itself takes its name from Sir James Hector, a Scottish-New Zealand geologist, naturalist, and surgeon who originated from Stockbridge in 1834.

Guests can tuck into all the pub classics—like a chicken and truffled oyster mushroom pie, classic fish and chips, and delicious beef brisket burgers—as well as a delectable range of Sunday roasts.

Along with the new food menu, guests will also be greeted with an extensive drinks menu, boasting a wide selection of craft beers, British gins, and an exciting range of whisky.

Speaking about the refurbishment, General Manager Alex Bruce at Hectors said: “This is an exciting time, not only for Hectors but for the people of Stockbridge. Our aim is simple: to serve delicious food, great drinks, and friendly service to all of our guests.

“Our fresh new look, matched with our welcoming team, will go hand in hand to provide Stockbridge with an excellent local pub where everyone is welcome.”

Following the extensive refurbishment and significant investment made at the pub, several new jobs have been created for the local area, with the team now ready to pour pints and serve delicious food to guests.
