Join us for an award winning experience combining locally sourced fine food and drink with fascinating and fun tales of Scotland. Our sumptuous 7 course Highland Banquet is a romp through 12,000 years of our history – the tragedies and the triumphs, the loves and loyalties. The North Coast 500 in 5 Objects makes the perfect accompaniment to your trip showcasing the best produce and stories from around the route. And focusing on our own neighbourhood, our Celebration of Beauly and the Black Isle brings together the fabulous produce and rich history of the place we call home.
The four course Living the Dram explains how an illegal hooch became the aspirational drink for half the world and A Write Good Night celebrates our Scottish storytelling superstars from the ancient Makars, through Burns and Scott to our more modern writers. Or why not try our Super Scots Sunday lunch – where guests choose the characters from history they want to hear about from the Downright Gabbler deck of cards? You could even indulge yourself at our Tipsy Afternoon Tea and discover how tea, coffee and chocolate helped change our world.
Whether it’s dinner, lunch or afternoon tea, you’ll enjoy a truly unique and unforgettable occasion. Don’t just take our word for it, check our reviews below and online.
