Station Road restaurant Head Chef, Sean Kelly, and Ice Warrior, Jim McNeill, present an evening of storytelling and nourishment.
Join us for an intimate evening of storytelling and nourishment as we honour Scotland's extraordinary legacy of exploration. Gather around the Explorer’s Table with Ice Warrior Jim McNeill to hear firsthand accounts from the Arctic frontier, where survival depended as much on ingenuity in the galley as courage on the ice.
Discover the vital role food and drink played in legendary Scottish expeditions—from ship's provisions that sustained months at sea to the meals that kept spirits alive in the planet's harshest conditions.
Discover how meals became moments of warmth and humanity in -40° temperatures, what it takes to fuel the body through extreme conditions, and the ingenious—and sometimes desperate—culinary solutions explorers have relied on throughout polar history. Learn how explorers balanced morale with nutrition - from pemmican and ship's biscuits to modern freeze-dried rations and the legendary importance of a hot cup of tea - explore how sustenance shaped exploration itself.
This unique gathering blends adventure, history, and the deeply human connection between exploration and the table—a tribute to the Scottish spirit of discovery that has shaped our understanding of the world
