The Food

I do much of the cooking myself but have help as required

Breakfast:

Traditional cooked breakfast to suit or continental style if preferred.
Using my own free range eggs makes all the difference.
Home-made bread.
Smoked haddock and Loch Fyne kippers available.

Packed lunch:

Not to be confused with pre-packed sandwiches from the Co-Op!
There is always hot home-made soup, home-made rolls, cheese and biscuits and often chicken legs, cold sausages etc.

Barbecue:

Subject to the weather I am pleased to provide a barbecue by the loch side. Barbecued trout are absolutely delicious – but do of course have to be caught first

Dinner:

I provide a fixed 3 course set menu.

I will suggest dishes to you in advance but should you require something else I will adjust the menu accordingly.
I can arrange for lobsters, dressed crab etc. given sufficient notice – there would be an extra charge for these.

I pride myself on providing high quality home cooking, based on best quality local ingredients simply prepared rather than putting fancy sauces on everything.

As far as possible I use fresh local ingredients.

I have ready access to local lamb, venison etc. and a full range of fresh sea fish, in addition to home caught brown trout. I have my own kitchen garden and a small flock of hens – real free range hens which provide most excellent eggs.

I smoke my own wild brown trout and mackerel.

A typical week’s menu might show:

Sunday		Crab cakes & homemade mayonnaise Roast Hebridean lamb	Local langoustine Trout for breakfast Salmon and mayonnaise.
Monday		Homemade chicken & vegetable soup. Roast loin of pork with homemade apple sauce.
Tuesday		Home smoked wild brown trout Steak & kidney pie & local veg.
Wednesday		Local hot smoked Salar salmon Gammon & parsley sauce
Thursday		Homemade leek & potato soup Oven baked wild brown trout
Friday		Cullen skink (Smoked haddock, onion, leek soup) Venison casserole
Saturday		Home smoked mackerel Scallops and monkfish tail on bacon & mash.

I provide a cheeseboard and/or ice cream on a daily basis and would normally have a homemade pudding rhubarb fool, apple crumble, bread & butter pudding or similar.
