The menu offered a few treats or nibbles to start and we tried the smoked queenies (scallops) fantastic, don’t miss them. Lots of local produce to try, with specials available. We went local as far as possible. Scallops, Grimbister cheese, halibut, lovely. The service was great and the evening was much enjoyed.

Overall, based on my experience, I'd suggest if you are a steak person, you should prioritise a meal here. I had the starter special of lobster cocktail, which was a lobster instead of prawn but otherwise pretty traditional approach to prawn cocktail. For main, I had the Foveran fillet steak, which was served perfectly rare, as ordered, and really pretty excellent. Side of potato was great, half crispy, half boiled. Dessert was the lemon posset, which was lovely but a little sweet for me. A cup of tea came with a lovely little selection of fudge and shortbread. Wine list was good, but not extensive.
