The Restaurant

Food is a central part of the Inverlonan experience. We are lucky to have the exceptionally talented Tim Kensett as head chef, having spent 5 years at the iconic River Cafe, then roles as Head Chef at Storico (New York), Goldeneye (Jamaica) and The Fife Arms (Braemar). Tim has firmly put Inverlonan on the foody map – guests are travelling far and wide to eat with us. With the new, adjacent rooms this is now even easier.

From November 2026 dining – for guests and the public alike – will take place in a dedicated 24 seat, open-plan, wood-fired restaurant in the heart of the restored steading. Stone walls, bespoke local burr oak dining tables, wall candle sconces – the atmosphere and feel of the original Bothy dining!

Dining will remain a single sitting at 7pm, Tuesday-Saturday (7 nights in 2027) with an eight-course tasting menu cooked exclusively over wood. 90%+ of the menu comes directly from Inverlonan’s own organic-certified farm, gardens, hills and forage or, ethically, from Scotland’s west coast waters. Fully licenced. On brand wine list and well-curated reserve wine list. 

Nothing has changed beyond the setting. Our same magical food, cooked over open fire using what produce we have available at the time. As it should be.

Cost £110pp

Guest Provisions

Breakfast


Included with every stay is a locally sourced breakfast. A 2-day breakfast pack will be in the bothies on arrival. For those in the steading, this is provided buffet style in the restaurant (7.30am – 10am) and will include sides of Kames’ smoked trout, Great Glen charcuterie, local cheeses, fresh Inverlonan bread, Inverlonan yoghurt, muesli, porridge, Inverlonan jam, honey, compotes etc. A breakfast celebration of the best that Inverlonan and Argyll has to offer!

If you would like a full cooked breakfast of bacon, Inverlonan sausages, Ardfern black pudding, local organic eggs then it is your chance to play with fire, pretend you are in a bothy and fry up at one of the several cooking stations littered around the steading and Inverlonan more widely. 

Lunch and Provisions


We have sourced a selection of the best produce from our farm, hills, gardens and Argyll’s larder to give you an authentic taste of West Coast living.  During your stay, particularly for lunch and if you are not dining with us in the evening, you will be able to cook up a feast at one of the dedicated BBQ and pizza stations across the steading and Inverlonan. We will send you a list of our BBQ boxes (Meat, Fish, Vegetable, Burger), Pizza kits, Picnic baskets, other local specialist provisions and a carefully selected drinks list a few weeks before your arrival. You can of course order when you are here but a couple of hours warning for the BBQ boxes will be needed for fresh preparation.

We will also serve a simple, low-key, set-lunch 7 days a week in the restaurant. 

Honesty Bar


As well as our provisions and drinks list there are 2 honesty bars in the Farmhouse and restaurant from which you can purchase a wide selection of drinks – including a nightly Inverlonan cocktail.
