"slightly unusual offer: wedgwood make picnic ham on request. they are ready to order, and I had luck getting a gift. paul, the chef, apparently took the idea of a vegan hampers as a personal project. I can highly recommend the result. we received an eleven-course menu for two in two small ham, among them wee glasses, milk flask of coffee cups, tellers, cutlery, serviettes and hand cleaners. ice packs meant that eating was still cooled when we started eating 7 hours after the collection. the wine was chosen to fit the budget of the gifter; we were told it was a little unusual — translation: absurdly drunk straight out, the crust oil was a big hit, with crust bread soaked; we have wolfed through a whole rice bean salad and beautifully presented baked mushroom cous (with decorative mushroom-y flakes) (we have a very tasty pasta to find, roasted veg. six courses left — portion control! next was one of the two real stars of the show: a sprudel, nussbaum and granatapfelsalat with tangigem dressing. as good as it looks (see photo) at this place we were a little lavish, so we only slightly picked up the oriental nudels, the roasted asparagus with cale and sniffing grains and the sesame runner beans and left the leaves later. on dessert: the simple description of granola, chocolate, berries just doesn't make it fair. this was effective a chocolate fondue with fresh celestial, strawberry and mini-granola slices to dive, accompanied by coffee. 9 hours after picking up the coffee was still hot when it no longer pierced. so overall: the No-doubt market price was more than matched by the experience: eating was delicious, and often also a firm one for the eyes; the portions generous; the weinstellar - and we had not finished our eleven-course picnic after three hours. we had a few days later rest and I greet as I think of some of the dishes. beyond a couple of dry mandarins I think that my only complaining would be rather a suggestion for less weight in the early erect: to find themselves so full after the rice, the couscous and pasta made us a little strenuous, but perhaps we would have decided to eat more responsibly. the gifted reported to find lisa wedgwood, especially appealing and helpful while arranging the hamper."

"We had an amazing dinner at the Bothy. The restaurant was full which says something. The next thing that says something is the front of house, who was very welcoming and relaxed. The team is young and they did a great job looking after us. The decor is understated chic; F&B blues and complimentary fabrics. Very nice. The menu was great. Local produce in terms of fish and meat, very well balanced in terms of fish, veg and meat and great options for vegetarians without trying too hard. As starters we had, an amazing olive tapenade with a bright green olive taste with citrus and anchovies in the background and an amazing roasted heritage carrot hummus. Both dishes were absolutely stunning, with great flavours and building anticipation for the mains. The mains. One pescatarian and one flexatarian who like sharing. The meat option I remember was a locally sourced burger. As a fish dish, I had Cullen Skink, a dish that originates a few villages down the coast. Visually, it looked incredible: enough creamy sauce with a parsley oil, provided a bed for mussels, trout fillets, smoked haddock and some beautifully crispy potatoes. The flavours were very well balanced and the creamy sauce provided a beautiful accompaniment to all of the solids on the plate. I was reluctant to share. My dining companion had the roasted beets on a feta cream. The feta cream was thick and creamy, without being cloying and somehow the saltiness was not overpowering. The beets were beatifully cooked: sweet, light charcoaling from the pan and just firm enough to bite. We also had some grilled greens to accompany which did what they were supposed to. I'd love to describe the puddings but we were sated after 2 course. Next time. There will be a next time. Booking essential, I think."
