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.
