About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

    A restaurant in the Michelin guide? My goodness no idea how it achieved that. I think it says it all when you walk into a restaurant and it’s so pretentious that no salt or pepper is on the tables. Lovely staff but it ends at that , no ambiance, one starter came out 20 minutes before the other which left one of us waiting . Mains then at least 35 minutes wait if not more after that . We ordered a side salad which was just mixed leaves, but no dressing or anything , no imagination at all . The fish was nice but nothing special . Drinks were good , but no dessert as we waited so long for food with the meal of two courses taking in excess of two hours for two courses . Only two of us for the meal , one was driving so no alcohol . The bill was in excess of £200 . Lets just say we won’t be back and i wouldn’t recommend any one else to either .

    It was our first visit to the Kinneuchar Inn. My wife's 70th birthday lunch with myself so I wanted something very intimate. Boy did we get it ! What an absolute gem. I could not have asked for anything better. It was so special for us that we will be singing about all aspects for years to come. I do hope that many others get to enjoy the services of the very knowledgeable and friendly staff to whom we pass on our big THANK YOU . Kevin and Kathleen Thomson.

    excellent food but a little too much noise in the bar which prevents it getting five stars!
