Our Kitchen– Lead by Head Chef, Paul Moran.
We were delighted to win the award for the Best Gastropub in Scotland at the Scottish Food Awards 2023. A well deserved tribute to our talented chefs who work hard to create dishes using the best seasonal local produce. It’s not all steak pies and fish and chips! We’ve branched out the past few years and aim to offer something different from the norm.
Seafood is served when available and fresh. Sunday roast supplied by our local butcher, is a feature during the colder seasons. We always have vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options for our customers to choose and will always seek to meet any dietary requirements where we can.
We keep things local and fresh. Using suppliers John Vallance – Fishmonger, Grants of Taynuilt – Butcher, Inverawe – Smokehouse, Wellocks – Premier Food Service, Braehead Foods, and JM Breckenridge greengrocer and a host of Independents like Puddledub Farm for seasonal produce. Celebrating the best of the West Coast, the Islands and beyond.
