That this House congratulates Leven based The Kinneuchar Inn on being named in Estrella Damn's top 50 gastropubs; notes that they are the only Scottish pub to be included in the list; recognises the incredible work of Chef James Ferguson and his partner Alethea Palmer who took the helm of the previously closed 17th century Kinneuchar Inn in September 2019 and have since transformed the menu to champion great local food with an à la carte menu based on ingredients sourced from the Balcaskie Estate and a handful of carefully curated partners; celebrates that the pub and restaurant has also been awarded Best Local Restaurant in Scotland 2023 by The Good Food Guide and is listed in the Michelin Guide 2024; and wishes them continued success for the future.
