The Mar Hall Hotel Dining Room<\/p><\/div>\n

Like victorious warriors we entered the dinning hall one by one, (after drinks in the wood panelled bar!) we sat at our now customary table at the top of the restaurant befitting those who had conquered some of the toughest courses in the West of Scotland, in weather that would test the spirit of any true warrior.<\/p>\n

We were now to be honoured (to be fair it was our honour, but I have to keep in the Golf Road Warrior spirit) by the amazing chef Sam Carswell at the Mar Hall Hotel, and amazed and astonished we were.<\/p>\n

Sam had prepared an eight-course menu all to be served with accompanying wine selected to compliment each course by the Maitre d’, who is none other than Frankma Canas Romaro who is a certified sabrage de bouteille de champagne.<\/p>\n

To say the meal and wine was superb, delightful, experimental, which tantalised and intrigued our taste buds would do it a disservice, I have never experienced anything like it in my life and loved every course, right down to the smoked Cauliflower (which I\u00a0normally\u00a0hate), it was a menu that Heston Blumenthal would have been proud to present.<\/p>\n

I can only say, if you live in the area and you have a celebration coming up, I would contact Mar Hall Hotel and ask them for this menu, its more than a celebration of food and wine, it\u2019s a complete culinary experience and celebration that you will be telling your friends about for decades.<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t get time to meet the Sam, but I would personally like to thank him for a great meal, I have eaten in Michelin star restaurants around the world and this meal sits in that company as an equal and thank you for a fitting end to the conquering Golf Road Warriors trip to Scotland.<\/p>\n
