Reviews of The Kitchin
"My friend and I treated ourselves to a wonderful meal at this restaurant and it was out of this world. If you have a few bob to spare, and want to spoil yourself with some scrumptious food and wine, then look no further. This is the place for you. The menu is pretty awesome. The staff are knowledgeable and attentive and look after you from the moment you arrive through the door. Wine pairing is available, and a cocktail is a must when you arrive. Finish your meal off with a cheeky glass of champagne and you'll float out the door with a contented smile on your face."
"After a 2 year wait from the time we saw the restaurant on Remarkable Places to Eat, we finally got booked in for lunch for our annual Christmas celebration lunch / dinner and we were not disappointed. Having sampled a number of amazing starred restaurants around the U.K., we most definitely had high expectations. We are very lucky to have such culinary talents within driving distance around the U.K.. Known for selecting the best sustainable sources of ingredients around the region, it was so helpful and novel to provide a little treasure map of the locations where the food we were about to eat came from. This added another level of excitement. Unlike some starred restaurants we have visited, The Kitchen offered a number of menus to choose from, starting from their reasonably priced lunch sets to the full tasting menu with wine pairing. This was unexpected, but welcomed as many establishments would have only offered their tasting menus during the festive season. We had budgeted for their tasting menu without wine and wanted to sample some of their signature dishes. As can be seen in the pics, plating and presentation is of a very high level and with the drama of at table pouring of sauces / soups and opening of the pastry sealed scallops added the extra sense of occasion. The front of house service was impeccable, very attentive but not instructive, the dining area was warm and cosy yet not too formal and suitable for families as well as more formal dining when required. The food, oh the food!!! The highlight would be the signature scallops, cooked perfectly from the largest and sweetest scallops I’ve ever tasted. The sauce is quite full bodied yet complements the natural sweetness of the scallops, very well balanced and would come back again just to have sample these again. This is definitely a Signature Dish that does the Michelin Star justice. The venison was amazing, cooked perfectly, full of flavour and tender yet maintained it’s unique texture. The fish dish also had an amazing balanced flavour profile and freshness, my only small niggle would be that my fish was slightly overcooked for my personal liking, but unfortunately seems to be the norm when having seafood in the U.K. but definitely does not take any points off the overall quality and experience. The Kitchin is probably top 3 on our list of Michelin starred restaurants we’ve dined at in the U.K. and that top 3 includes a 3 starred restaurant. We are looking forward to going back for seconds, we just need to save up. If you’re looking to find the best place to experience the freshest ingredients Scotland has to offer, cooked to perfection with a natural and rustic flavour palette, you’d be hard pressed to find better than “The Kitchin” enjoy"
"Outstanding! From start to finish it was incredible. We went for the prestige tasting menu & matching wine flight. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating, friendly & knowledgeable. One of the little things that impressed me was when I asked about a small element of the Spoots dish they knew every single ingredient & that really adds to the experience and demonstrates how well trained they are. I loved the whole feel of the place, the decor is minimalistic and classy. The little map showed where they source all their local ingredients which was very interesting and showed you just how fresh everything was. I honestly couldn’t fault any of the dishes, they were flawless. Each one was just as flavourful as the last. I liked that it was hearty rich flavours that were presented so delicately. My highlight of the wines was drinking one that was older than I am. Hats off to the whole team, hope to come back in the not so distant future. Keep up the good work!!"
"Absolutely amazing meal with my family ! Lunch was very reasonably priced at around 50pp for their set lunch. Everything was prepared with a high standard. The set lunch included a starter, main and desert but we we're pleased to be served with fresh bread as well as 2 different appetisers. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Would come back again."
"We had the Prestige Surprise Tasting Menu with wine pairing, and everything tasted absolutely delicious. Very nicely decorated restaurant, good atmosphere and very nice staff. It was so nice that Tom Kitchin came and greeted and talked to us and served us a dish. We had nice ginger cocktail before the meal, but unfortunately the Espresso Martini we had after the meal was not so good. But, all in all, this was a wonderful experience."
