Dining Experience

Crossbasket Castle, Hotel & Restaurant High Blantyre offers two on-site restaurants: Trocadero's (open Wednesday to Sunday with live music and dancing) and Foveran's (serving dinner Monday and Tuesday in a Palm Court style). The Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr oversees the culinary direction, with menus featuring British and French cuisines and options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets. Complimentary breakfast includes local produce such as Ayrshire bacon and smoked haddock omelette, while afternoon tea is served daily in the historic castle setting.
