Pub of the week - The Creel Inn - Sunday Mail - Sunday, June 22nd 2003What's the atmosphere Like ?
You won't find a cosier refuge in Scotland. This pub is perched
on a clifftop high above the crashing waves of the North Sea. Low ceilings and
warm fires create a welcoming interior.
Describe the decor :
Being so close to the sea, there are maritime features indoors and lobster pots sit outside, paintings and etchings by local artists hang on the walls, some of which are for sale. A beautiful antique print of an old sailing ship takes pride of place above the fireplace in the bar. the lounge also serves diners when the restaurant is too busy. Who drinks here ?
Apart from a few regulars from the village, most of the
clientele are here to sample the good food. Folk musicians provide entertainment
- mostly during the winter months - and real ale drinkers often pop in to sample
the range of cask-conditioned ales on tap. It is busy at lunch-times especially
at the weekends, so it's best if you call in advance if you want to guarantee
getting a table.
What about the staff ?
The Inn is owned and run by Robert Lindsay, the excellent menu
is firmly in the hands of the talented Lorna Hay.
The food's good then ?
You bet. the Inn is renowned for it's catch-of-the-day
specialities such as locally caught crab and lobster but the chefs abilities
stretch far beyond the boundaries of seafood. Saying that, the Seafood Platter
for two could feed an army and boasts lobster, scallops, crab claws,
langoustine, mussels, clams and spoots - all for £35. The taste of Scotland menu
is also delicious. The pot-roasted wild venison and the duck, pigeon and haggis
platter are just £10.95 each and definitely worth a try. Bar snacks include
Arbroath Smokie pate for £3.75 and portions of mussels £5.25.
