Inviting everyone from far and wide, the Ratho pub, which recently opened a new fine dining restaurant, will be running a BBQ from their outdoor street food container.

As well as serving up sweet snacks, the pub will also be serving their "much loved" alcoholic slushies in the heated and covered beer garden, which looks over the water.

With Ratho acting as the overnight mooring point for many canal parts taking part in the flotilla, the pub will also be running breakfast sandwiches from 9am on Saturday for a "good send off."
