Iain Stewart
This is Iain’s mantra, which I asked him to write himself. It highlights the reason he does what he does. When I met him I was very impressed, and all of the above was quite evident.
I have heard a similar story from many suppliers over the years but they do not always back it up with their actions. Having brought Iain Stewart on board I have complete faith in his judgement. His produce is exceptional and well sourced. His hand-dived scallops have been a revelation!
I have had a few nipped fingers prepping the seafood, with the lango’s jumping and kicking, and I love buying whole fish such as halibut, monk and turbot from Iain as it is still stiff, its so fresh. We do a lot of filleting ourselves at the hotel but on the occasion we take it pre-prepared, it is beautifully finished.
Iain and his team are passionate and professional and I forsee a long lasting partnership with them and Loch Melfort Hotel. I am quite sure I could not find anyone better.
