From the West Coast

We're keeping it local

To ensure each dish we serve is full of authentic flavours from the West Coast of Scotland, we use only the best, locally sourced ingredients.

Our fish and shellfish is carefully sourced by James MacLean, based out of Ballachulish, from nearby locations such as Benderloch, Arisaig, the Isle of Mull, the Isle of Skye, the Isle of Islay, and the stretch between Oban and Mallaig.

For meat, cheese, dairy and West Coast salmon, we rely on Roy Forsyth at Letterfinlay, Fort William. Our fresh fruit and vegetables are supplied by Breckenridge, a dependable family-owned business based in Oban.

Our haggis is from MacSween's of Edinburgh, and our black pudding is from MacLeod's in Stornoway, on the Isle of Lewis.
