№ IV · The Snug

Volume set by the table

Three screens in the snug, one in the dining room for matches the card room will tolerate. We set volume by the nearest party and check before we turn it up. After 10pm the sound comes off, captions go on, and the card room gets its hush.

Match-day service is unhurried. Haggis bonbons, a pie and a half of Caledonian 80/-, or a plate of Scottish cheese. The snug seats fourteen comfortably; eight more can drift through from the front room.

From the matchday crowd

A Six Nations afternoon in the snug with a pie and a half of Caledonian — as neatly arranged a Saturday as I have found. The volume is kept sane and the person next to you is usually as invested as you are.
DERMOT · Rugby regular · Dunedin Road
Every Wimbledon fortnight I watch here. The tea is proper, the viewing angle works, and between points the people around you talk in complete sentences.
BEATRIX · Tennis enthusiast · New Town
Silverstone morning at the Knavewick is a routine. Big screen, timing graphics on the smaller one, breakfast mains that arrive quietly between the formation lap and the start.
