Future developments at The Park Bistro & Restaurant

Whilst the restaurant is open 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year (apart from Christmas & New Year) Peter and Tracey would love to open a visitor centre in the shed, one wall of which forms the wall to the existing bistro carpark .

When opened it is planned the visitor centre would house local history, local arts, crafts and antique experiences.

Lost village of Kingscavil

Peter is a keen local historian, and is enjoying researching the nearby 'lost village' of Kingscavil.

Back in 1895 there were 112 houses, with 709 registered householders. The then village was once sited in one of the fields to the South East of the bistro on the farms land.

The village boasted 2 football teams, bowling club, school, church, police station, pub and a  co-op.

Visitor centre and museum

Peter would love to open a small museum at the bistro to tell the story of Kingscavil - so if you have any forefathers who played football in the team that beat 'Heart of Midlothian' last century, was the village bobby or even the green keeper at the bowling club he would love to hear from you.

Any information, photos, or memorabilia you have he would love to speak with you about. Please contact him on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The museum, which could possibly be the smallest in Scotland would be free of charge to enter - with a collection box for local charities should visitors wish to donate.
