Menus

One of the reasons we chose Crieff as our venue is that we knew they would bring excellence in many aspects, including food. I’m sure we’ve all had travelling experiences where poor food just added to the stress and tiredness of being away from home, and I was determined not to experience that here.

We were also determined to proudly present Scottish food — if you’re going to the effort of travelling around the world, having a sense of place really matters and having the same old global options is very boring.

So here are the menus for the Retreat — if you gave us specific dietary needs that clash with these, don’t worry, we already have special options for you in hand. If you have dietary needs that you haven’t told us about, please head over and tell us ASAP!
