EatScotland Says:

The Scottish Baronial splendour of Glenapp Castle, with its commanding views of Arran and Ailsa Craig, is the perfect setting to enjoy a mouth-watering taste of the finest Scottish produce presented in a beautifully constructedmenu of exquisitely presented courses. What does not come from the Castle's own gardens and estate is sourced from the local area and Scottish waters.

Ballantrae Lobster with Olive Oil, Lemon, Spring Roll and a Roasted Lobster Mayonnaise: "Perfectly, just cooked lobster, cut into bite sized mouthfuls." "Nothing overpowered the quality and the freshness of the lobster. The crispness of the spring roll wrap which was served warm offered a completely contrasting flavour and colour to the dish. The flavours and colours from the samphire and the fennel offered another delicate contrast that also did not detract from the lobster."
