DINING AT KINLOCH

As the home of Scotland's favourite cook, Kinloch is justly famed for its marvellous food. The kitchen team is headed up by Marcello Tully. Marcello and Claire have worked closely on various projects in the past and share a mutual passion for the finest local and seasonal food. Marcello was recently awarded Rising Star CHEF OF THE YEAR, at the 2009 Hotel Awards.

In the dining-room of Kinloch's North House, crisp white linen napery, vintage silver cutlery, and perfectly polished glassware provide appropriately splendid compliments to the exceptional fare. Here, under the watchful gaze of Macdonald ancestors whose portraits line the walls, guests feast on outstanding produce from Scotland's rich seasonal larder including local poultry, game and shellfish, hot-smoked salmon from South Uist, and Buccleuch Estate beef.

Kinloch's daily-changing dinner menus (from £52.00 p/p) are shaped by Claire and Marcello's personal passions and perennially popular recipe ideas. Compelling choices for committed carnivores are offset by tempting seafood options. The excellence of the food is matched by Kinloch's outstanding wine list, featuring familiar favourites together with fine and exceptional vintages. Kinloch is one of only 7 restaurants in Scotland to be awarded the Michelin Guide’s ‘Red Grapes’ for their wine list. Kinloch also offers wine, whisky and beer flights with each course. Carefully selected to accompany the fabulous food, these flights arrive in a stunning holder, with an informative card about each wine, whisky or beer.

Dinner is served each evening from 6.30pm until 9pm.
