A La Carte Menu
Starters
Begin your meal with one of our vibrant new appetisers. Savour the fresh crunch of Scottish asparagus layered with hot-smoked trout and pickled beetroot, a dish that sings of spring on the east coast. For deeper, rustic flavours, choose the tender Duck Rillettes, slowly confit-cooked then pressed and served with sharp house pickles and crisp croutons. Vegetarians will love our flaky Goat’s Cheese Tart, packed with spinach, leek and a swirl of garden-herb pesto, while the ever-popular Roquefort Soufflé returns—light, airy and finished with walnut, radish and a hint of pomegranate for balance.
Main Courses
Our latest mains showcase the heart-warming cuisine of Languedoc using peak-season Scottish produce. Try the succulent Guinea Fowl Suprême, set on asparagus and peas à la française with a glossy red-wine jus, or the juicy Lamb Chops accompanied by confit-lamb-and-polenta bonbons and Provençal ratatouille. Traditionalists can’t miss the Confit Duck Leg cassoulet—slow-braised duck, Toulouse sausage, pork belly and lingot beans in one comforting pot. From the sea, our King Scallops arrive with confit fennel, vine-roasted tomatoes, potato rösti and a fragrant orange beurre blanc, while seafood lovers can also look to the daily-changing Fish of the Day, baked with capers, olives and tomatoes and served alongside Camargue rice. For a plant-based showstopper, the Provençal-style Panisse pairs crisp chickpea fries with roasted baby aubergine and basil-infused ratatouille.
Desserts
End on a sweet note with our silky Vanilla Crème Brûlée, crackling under a caramelised sugar lid and paired with buttery shortbread, or sample the Iced Parfait, light yet indulgent with anise-marinated strawberries and crunchy honeycomb. Chocolate lovers will gravitate towards the Dark Chocolate Tart topped with caramelised pecans and pecan cream, while those seeking something cooler can explore our rotation of homemade ice creams and sorbets. Cheese aficionados may prefer the I. J. Mellis French cheese selection, served with homemade oatcakes, celery and walnuts.
Seasonal Specialties
We celebrate the rhythm of the Scottish seasons, so you can expect specials that evolve as quickly as the produce does. Look out for dishes spotlighting locally foraged asparagus, freshly landed halibut with spicy crushed chickpeas and green pesto, or lighter options like our mint-and-pomegranate Taboulé salad—perfect for sunnier days. Every visit promises something new, whether it’s a spring lamb feature or an autumnal game bird from the Borders.
