Step through the twinkling lights of the lobby into a magical winter wonderland, with ice-coloured holiday decor and whimsical festive branch archways which all of the family will enjoy.

With turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches, hot smoked salmon and pigs in blanket sausage rolls with bacon jam, this will tickle the tastebuds. Not to mention, ‘The Magic of the Forest’ nougat candy, ‘Snowy Wonderland’ salted caramel brownie with white chocolate and cocoa mousse and ‘Festive Glow’ meringue with sweet spices and cheesecake pop!
Christmas Day and festive celebrations
Award-winning chef Mark Greenaway’s delicious offering takes you right through the festive celebrations to Christmas day itself, as well as Hogmanay and a three-course New Year’s Day menu at Grazing by Mark Greenaway.
For £165pp, or £200 with matching wine, and £75 per child, who wouldn’t want to be pampered on Christmas Day with tasty snacks before starters, then soup before turkey or pan roasted halibut for mains, and Christmas pudding parfait or pavlova, followed by cheese and after-dinner coffee and mince pies.
Though before the big day, the restaurant – which is an ambassador for Scotland’s finest food and drink – is welcoming festive parties for three-course feasts at £65pp or £85 with half a bottle of wine and a cocktail on arrival, for parties of 12 guests and over.
Or if Dean Banks at The Pompadour is more your style as a modern, fine-dining restaurant which was recently named in Trip Advisor’s Top 10 Fine Dining Restaurants in the UK, then book a classic festive menu at £110pp which includes hand-dived scallops and aged belted Galloway beef.

A sumptuous six-course meal, dancing, live entertainment, piper and champagne toast at midnight will take your breath away. The experience, which is not to be missed, includes drink pairings which each of the courses for £375pp.
