The Kinneuchar Inn is a 17th-century pub and restaurant which champions great food in an intimate setting. We recently were awarded Best Local Restaurant in Scotland 2023 by The Good Food Guide.

We serve a daily changing 'a la carte' menu, based on ingredients sourced from the Balcaskie Estate and a handful of carefully curated partners. Our menus are seasonal and produce-led, aiming to highlight the quality of the ingredients.

Helmed by James Ferguson (formerly of The Connaught and East London eatery Beagle) and partner Alethea Palmer.

Very limited choice for vegetarians and only one vegan option on the menu, despite us calling in advance to say that one of our group was vegan. When we were paying and I handed over a voucher, the two staff members rolled their eyes and then disappeared after I'd paid, so there was nobody there to say goodbye as we left - seemed a bit odd...

Finally, a great Thanksgiving meal in our neck o'the woods! We've been to Kinneuchar Inn many times and always love it, but I think this is the first year that they've done Thanksgiving. And for that I'm thankful.
