Harden's survey result
Summary
Pam Brunton and Rob Latimer, who honed their craft at the legendary Noma, took over this fisherman’s croft (with rooms) on Loch Fyne back in 2015. The “excellent food” privileges local wild ingredients and forgotten Scottish dishes to straightforward but often stunning effect. This is also a romantic spot if you wish to overnight, with a “ruined castle beside the Loch to explore”.
Summary
“Stunning local produce and foraged ingredients are cooked to perfection” at this “lovely” fisherman’s croft with a “beautiful view over Loch Fyne”, from chef Pam Brunton and her partner Rob Latimer (both ex-Noma). It’s “not too remote but feels like you’re in the wilderness”, so is “highly recommended for a romantic overnight stay”. Top Tip – “they also make great cocktails from interesting local and foraged ingredients”.
Summary
“We’ll be back” – is a commonly heard refrain from guests who brave the single-track road to experience Pam Brunton’s exquisite cooking in a converted fisherman’s croft on the shore of Loch Fyne. It’s a “calm and cosy” spot with an “interesting wine list” and dishes that can hit the “sublime”. (Carnoustie-born Pam gave up a philosophy degree and worked in some of the most progressive kitchens around Europe before setting up her first restaurant here with her partner Rob Latimer. There’s a handful of bothies and shepherd's huts to accommodate diners who want to prolong the experience.)
Summary
“Simply brilliant” – “head down the single track road until you are sure that you are on the wrong route, and then keep going another couple of miles” to find Pam Brunton and Rob Latimer’s converted fisherman’s croft: “one of the more unlikely locations for top-class dining”. The white-walled room with small bare tables is very simple in style, but the food is “as delicious as it can be surprising” with a “a fierce focus on invention with local produce and foraged ingredients” (and especially, of course, fish and seafood). A “funky wine list” is also a feature with “a strong focus on organic and biodynamic wines”. “It’s a great location and with lovely bothies now” too.
