This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Greywalls has in its time played host to many happy family events, and the marriage in 2010 between the Weaver family’s country house hotel and Albert Roux’s Inverlochy Castle Management International is surely not the least of them. A meal here is an unrushed experience and rightly so, because a drink beside the fire in the book-lined library before your meal, and a deeply cushioned sofa in which to relax with coffee afterwards is part of the Edwardian country house charm. The menu changes each season and while Scotland contributes the fish, the game and the prime Aberdeen Angus, the style of Glasgow-born but Roux-trained chef Derek Johnstone is firmly in the classic French tradition. A pike quenelle with lobster sauce and brown shrimp is copybook, while roasted saddle of rabbit with sautéed kidneys is perfectly judged, and complemented by fresh herbs and a silky carrot mousse. Vanilla poached apricots are a lovely foil to caramelised pain perdu, while chocolate sablé, tuiles and petit fours are universally accomplished. Wines – hand-picked by Albert – are impressive.
- High point: Classic Scottish country house meets classic French cuisine
- Low point: Could feel just a little staid to some
