| Our
award winning conservatory restaurant offers the best of Scottish
and International cuisine, where only the freshest of produce is used.
Dining at The Black Bull Hotel is a civilised adult affair - low lighting,
crisp linen, stylish surroundings and delicious food. The restaurant
is complemented by a carefully selected fine wine list. After dinner,
relax in the cocktail bar in front of the roaring log fire where you
can sample the finest selection of malt whiskies.
When it comes to eating and drinking, you have a great choice at
the Black Bull depending on the occasion, time of day, appetite
and budget. A different menu and atmosphere to suit everyone from
children to granny. Let's start our tour in the attractive Conservatory
where Poachers Restaurant is open for dinner every night of the
week, presenting an exceptionally high standard of contemporary
Scottish cuisine. This is seriously good, sophisticated cooking,
created with imagination but without pretentiousness. Start perhaps
with a light, pink mound of Tartare of Wild and cultivated Salmon
smothered in crème fraîche with a zest of lime. Or
for something rather different, baked field mushrooms topped with
haggis and a poached egg, glazed with malt whisky butter sauce.
Main courses might include Beef Fillet - spiced up with a rich Dunsyre
blue cheese mousse and port wine jus. Or Baked Fillet of Turbot
with a Parmesan red pesto crust served with saffron potatoes in
a pool of pepper coulis. Around the fish enjoy a selection of baby
vegetables, carrots, turnip, fennel as well as an amazing mashed
potato "pear”. Portions are not over the top so after
a wee pause, you might be tempted by the dessert menu. Push the
boat out with Hot Chocolate Soufflé dotted with cherries
and cream or perhaps Banana Tarte with rum and raisin ice cream.
The large selection of Celtic cheese board is excellent served with
handmade oatcakes.
For lunch and dinner every day you may also eat in the stylish
Bistro -(comfortable purple chairs and booths) and the equally comfortable
Bar. Bistro menu might include a chunky Smoked Haddock broth, Salmon
with chive mash, and the very popular, Corned Chicken filled with
Stornoway Black pudding. Down in the cosy bar you'll find a fine
selection of sandwiches, haggis and neeps, fish and chips, burger
and good grilled steaks.
Breakfast
The Stewarts are very aware of the importance of a good healthy
breakfast served in the sunny Conservatory overlooking the garden.
A groaning buffet table offers fresh and dried fruits, cereal, juices,
bagels, croissants and "good bacteria" yoghurt drinks.
Porridge and hot dishes are made to order including eggs as you
like them, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, kippers and smoked
haddock with poached eggs. Decent sized cafetières and teapots
are brought to the table with toast, good unwrapped butter and preserves.
Afternoon Tea at The Black Bull Hotel
Tea at The Black Bull Hotel is an institution in itself and is served
in the spectacular Conservatory Restaurant. A choice of 15 different
teas from around the world, finely cut sandwiches, freshly baked
scones, jam and whipped cream plus a range of cakes and pastries
combine to make for an unforgettable afternoon. Served every day
from 2pm to 5.30pm. In order to avoid disappointment reservations
are strongly recommended.
