Given the glittering accolades bestowed on The Kinneuchar Inn since James Ferguson and Alethea Palmer arrived here, you’d be forgiven for thinking it might be another blingy, fine-dining showboat with overly tweaked, microscopic portions. Mercifully, it’s none of the above. This picture-postcard 17th-century hostelry has inherent style (think earthy classic tones) and an easy-going vibe. The key to Kinneuchar’s deserved success is two-fold: the kitchen’s impeccable handling of fantastic produce (much of it from neighbouring Balcaskie Estate and other local suppliers) and an ability to make diners feel like they’re guests-of-honour at the best dinner party. A field-to-fork philosophy is evident in each lovingly crafted dish. No faff, no fuss; this place has heart and soul stamped right through it.
