Peat Inn Description

One of the strongholds of Scottish cuisine is located in this unpretentious and warm-hearted house, formerly the creation for many years until 2006 of David and Patricia Wilson along with their family, it has now been taken over by Geoffrey Smeddle, who was the Executive Chef for Conran Restaurants and helped to set up the renowned étain in Glasgow. He has continued the fine tradition that they established there.

He and his wife happily share The Peat Inn with their delightful staff and many friends. One always has the feeling it is rather like a boat that has achieved the plane and sails effortlessly along with a touch on the tiller as required. You get the feeling that they genuinely look on their clients as much more than mere guests.

The truth is somewhat different as an amalgam of organisational, cooking, management and people skills is deployed to present this compelling spot. I can think of few places where I would prefer to eat or stay. Dishes draw heavily on the best of what is locally available in terms of game, fish, vegetables and even truffles. The cooking is classically based upon French cuisine, with the emphasis always on flavour. Over 400 wine bins await your pleasure at prices which reflect a love of wine rather than the balance at the Bank.

Your Reviews of Peat Inn

Hellene187 (6 September 2009)

I had the pleasure to visit The Peat Inn twice during August, once as a family group celebrating our son's wedding and the second time with my wife. On both occasions the whole experience was outstanding. We received a very warm welcome and made to feel as if the staff really cared that we should have a great experience. On both occasions the food was outstanding in terms of quality and taste. But what contributed immensely to the pleasurable experience was the staff, by which I mean all the staff. They were able to achieve a fine balance of friendliness with the highest level of professionalism. The service was faultless. Granted, it is not a cheap establishment, but one is aware of this from the outset. I believe the wine list, while exceptionally good, does seem to be skewed too heavily in the direction of higher priced wines. I am sure the owners could add a few lower priced wines without adversely affecting their image or their margins.

Fraser (10 February 2009)

Six of us ate there in November 2008. We opted for the taster menu and had to do some menu juggling as we had one veggie in our party. I can honestly say that every one of us enjoyed the experience and even more so, the food. My favourite was the daub of beef, melt in your mouth stuff. The veggie declared a soup, I think broccoli but don’t quote me, with a soft boiled quail’s egg, wonderful. All of us would happily return.
