MAIN COURSES

Haggis, neeps ‘n’ tatties (vegan and vegetarian options available): One of the local culinary icons. The dish consists of haggis – a savoury pudding made from minced sheep’s heart, liver and lungs, mixed with oatmeal, onions and spices – accompanied by turnips (neeps) and mashed potatoes (tatties).
Salmon: Scottish salmon fillet, new potatoes, and sautéed vegetables with a white wine and dill sauce.
Fish ‘n’ chips: Local hake fillet, battered, fried and served with chips, peas and homemade tartar sauce.
Shepherd’s Pie (vegan): Originally from the 19th century, famous for feeding shepherds for countless generations. Today, the vegan version of this dish retains the essence of the original, using lentils, peas and carrots as a base. Mashed potatoes and fresh salad continue to form the iconic garnish, offering a comforting and flavourful combination.

DESSERTS

Sticky Toffee Pudding: A classic British dessert made from moist sponge cake, enriched with finely chopped dates for natural sweetness. It is bathed in a rich toffee sauce and traditionally served warm with vanilla ice cream.
Chocolate Brownie (vegan): Made with high-quality cocoa and melted chocolate chips, it is the perfect balance between sweet and bitter. Served with delicious plant-based cream and berries.
