This year's menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner can be found below. Breakfast is served from 07.45 to 09.15 every day.
This year we are trying something different at lunchtime. Our award winning dinner menu will be available in the bistro bar at lunchtime between 12.00 and 2.15 every day except Sunday when we open at 12.30. However, if you prefer a light lunch then you should find something to your taste in our new lunch menu with its sandwiches, wraps, panini and more.
Our head chef, Neil Keevill, has returned again to the Ben Loyal. He has put together another mouthwatering main menu using as much local produce as is available for you to enjoy either at lunchtime or in the evening in either the restaurant or the bistro bar. If you fancy some lobster do let us know in advance of your arrival and we will do our best to get some from Charlie in Scullomie.
Our evening meals are available from 6.00 to 8.30 pm but you are welcome to linger over your meal.
Non-residents who wish to eat in the restaurant are advised to pre-book their table.
