Dine in the Castle Restaurant

DINING IN A SCOTTISH CASTLE RESTAURANT
HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER!

Newly refurbished and re-named Grant MacNicol at the Castle for 2019 – experience local produce at its best with friendly and efficient service.

Head Chef Grant MacNicol has devised stunning seasonal menus which incorporate a Mediterranean twist. Dishes include the ever popular Dornoch gin cured salmon made with the hotel’s very own gin and venison loin from Tressady Estate just 20 miles away. For dessert, why not try our homemade sticky toffee pudding with homemade basil ice cream or a cheese board featuring the best from Highland Fine Cheese in Tain.

In the warmer months, guests can enjoy al fresco dining in the walled garden – a seasonal 2 course lunch menu is available during the day as well as a bar menu featuring Scottish tapas style items and classic bar favourites.

The restaurant is open daily from 12-2PM and 6-9.30PM.

Reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment.

A sample menu is available to view below.
