dining at the lovat

From our celebrated Station Road restaurant to our generous Afternoon Teas, every dish is
infused with the beauty that each season brings. Bursting with fresh flavours, aromas and colours, we use ingredients grown in The Lovat kitchen gardens, or foraged from the bountiful natural larder that surrounds us.

We Forage

At Station Road, the kitchen begins long before the stove is lit. Our chefs venture into the hills, woodlands and the banks of Loch Ness to gather what the season generously offers — wild garlic in the damp shade of early spring, hedgerow berries in autumn's last warmth, nettles and herbs along the water's edge. Foraging is not a technique for us, but a philosophy: a way of listening to the landscape and letting it shape what appears on the plate.

We Gather

Scotland's larder is extraordinary, and at Station Road we have built relationships with the small-scale producers and farmers who tend it with the same care we bring to the kitchen. Our suppliers are neighbours as much as partners — the family croft a few miles up the road, the estates that have supplied venison for generations, the beekeeper working in small batches not far from our door. We choose them not simply for the quality of what they produce, but for the values behind it: slow methods, healthy land, and an honest relationship between producer and place.

We Grow

Some of the shortest journeys from soil to plate happen right here on our grounds. The kitchen garden at The Lovat is tended by our team through every season — raised beds of heritage vegetables, rows of culinary herbs, edible flowers that bring colour and delicacy to the plate, and soft fruits that appear briefly and brilliantly in the height of summer. Growing our own allows us to work with varieties chosen entirely for flavour rather than shelf life, and to harvest at the precise moment of ripeness that a supplier's schedule simply cannot always accommodate.

Just a wee note to say....

We would love you to experience our Station Road restaurant as it really is a special place to eat, so please make sure you book a table in advance as we get incredibly busy, particularly over the summer months.

Available Tuesday - Sunday.
