Did a badger inspire a children’s classic? Here at Badger & Co. on Castle Street, that question hangs in the air like the scent of freshly baked shortbread. This restaurant and bar isn’t just a place for a delicious meal. It’s the former home of Kenneth Grahame, the author of “The Wind in the Willows.” Now, before you start picturing Mr. Toad sipping cocktails at the bar, let’s be clear. There’s no definitive proof that a real-life badger scampered across these floorboards and sparked Grahame’s imagination. But the connection between this place, the author, and his beloved tale adds a certain magic. Badger & Co. celebrates this literary legacy with its Scottish-inspired menu. So, as you enjoy your meal, consider this. Perhaps, just perhaps, the spirit of Badger, Ratty, Mole, and even the irrepressible Toad still lingers here within these walls. Their adventures, born from the pen of a man who once called this place home, continue to enchant generations. And that, in itself, is a story worth savoring.
