Harden's survey result
Summary
“At the end of very tough roads” that lead to “wonderful views of Loch Fyne and the ruined Lachlan Castle”, this “haven of wonderful and inventive cooking” (set in former crofters’ cottages) was taken over by Noma alumni Pam Brunton and Rob Latimer in 2015. It’s “justly famous for seafood of course” (featuring on an “elaborate” tasting menu and the à la carte), but their ‘Kate‘s salad’ is the “best vegetarian dish” one reporter has ever tasted (and “grown along the road in Kate‘s polytunnel”, part of a focus on local/seasonal ingredients reflected in their Michelin Green Star). Stay overnight to profit from the “record players and vinyl in each room”.
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.)
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
