Lunch
A light lunch on the terrace is the perfect choice if you're a guest arriving hungry after a long trip or you're simply looking for a light lunch before an afternoon exploring the area. Delicious seasonal dishes, served on weekdays from 12:30pm – 3pm and until 4:30 pm on Saturday, with freshly made salads, light seasonal dishes and a tempting selection of platters and desserts. As weather changes lunch will be served in the Restaurant - with a real fire.
Sunday Lunch
On Sunday, we offer a traditional Sunday lunch. It is a chance to reconnect with family or friends in a cosy setting after a long, busy week. Sunday Lunch is served from 12.30 to 3.30 pm.
Depending on the season our roast will alternate but everyone’s favourite is roast beef with Yorkshire puddings, roast vegetables and duck fat potatoes. Come and enjoy our tempting range of dishes accompanied by all the trimmings. Have a look at a sample menu.
Our restaurant, located in the old, wood-panelled music room of the original house, has a stunning fireplace, stained glass windows and a charming outlook over Loch Long. The perfect setting for evening dining. Relax with a drink by the fire in the drawing room before being guided to your table for an evening of great food.
We are passionate about using great Scottish produce and showcasing the best of the seasons in our menus. Our restaurant team endeavour to get the balance between professional and personable just right to ensure you enjoy exquisite service without pretence.
Picnic Lunch
If you plan to be out for the day and won’t have time to arrange your own lunch then leave it to us.
We can provide a delicious, freshly prepared, packed lunch for you to enjoy whether you are busy at work or a more sumptious picnic to enjoy whilst out walking in the hills.
If you require either a packed lunch or a picnic please order at reception by 9pm the evening before with any special dietary requests.
