Always seems to have a good buzz about the place. Is sometimes packed, but that's a good sign really =] And the whisky selection is great :)

Always liked the Monty. Use to work there in 1984. Apart from decor nothing has really changed apart from prices. However still a great atmosphere. Always the same people sitting in the same seats and friendly staff.

Great place to be welcomed in. Staff brilliant chat and quick witted replies. The staff are so vigilant to all with difficulty in their lives. And go one further to assist by learning sign language through touch. All the staff should be congratulated in carrying out their duties sometimes I wish I was a dog 🐶 to get a treat and a wee blanket ❤️Well Done The Monty 👍

The bar is cosy and very welcoming with 2 real fires I like it here for a quick pint or three. The harness room is lovely for a few with your partner and can have live music at times,NICE. Upstairs is for when your out on the lash with friends but be early if you want a table or even a seat. GREAT INDEPENDANT PUB WITH 35mm MEASURES.

My first visit and my wife and I were impressed. It's like a proper village pub. Cold beer, friendly staff, a great fire and a brilliant atmosphere. Based on our experience, it's certainly a pub for the over 50's and that's not a bad thing.

The Monty is hands down the best Pub in EK. The Monty is everything a Pub should be. A gem of a Village focal point, the Monty has long been a village fixture, first opening in 1655 as a coaching inn. The stone landing where Coach passengers embarked and disembarked is still there, in their lovely beer garden. Waking inside takes you back in time. The dark wood, stone floors and fireplace are accented by the whitewashed walls. I imagine that roaring fireplace would be "The Spot" for enjoying a libation on a winter day. They have some great lagers AND ale taps to drink from. Their whisky selection is on point as well. The Staff is "Top Shelf" and know how to pull/pour a proper pint! The Monty has it all, a friendly local that serves up some delicious pub grub, drinks and a world class staff that treats the customers right. We can NOT wait to go back!

The Monty is a great pub with a wonderful atmosphere. The main bar is lovely with stone floors and a great selection of beers and a varied and excellent whisky choice. Upstairs is more modern but the atmosphere is just as good. Located in the heart of the old village this pub is popular at all times of the day. A joy to visit.
