Bed and Breakfast accommodation, at Ewich House, Tyndrum, Crianlarich, Scotland, UK - meals

At Ewich House we pride ourselves on the quality of our home cooked food as our many visitors comments testify. All our meat is supplied by the award winning Aberfeldy butchers and is locally reared and free range. All chicken used is also local and organically reared. Animal welfare is very important to us and we will only use meat that has come from well treated animals. Our fish is delivered once a week on a wednesday fresh to the door from Pitweem, so is not offered all week round but it’s definitely to be recommended when we do have it on the menu. Only fresh fruit and veg are used and is delivered direct to the door by Macgregors greengrocers in nearby Killin. All eggs are freshly laid by our 15 lovely chickens but we do sometimes have to supplement them in the busier months, so the eggs then come from a local flock of happy free rangers!

We try and cater for all dietary requirements so please contact us if you would like to discuss your needs further.

Breakfast

What can we say about our breakfasts……. they are legendary! Huge in quantity (although that’s not compulsory) and taste and the perfect way to start your day! No night before ordering is required as everything is cooked fresh to order. It’s much nicer that way. Lighter appetites are also well catered for with a selection of fresh fruit, yogurt and cereals along with proper chunky toast and preserves. Last but not least is porridge made either the traditional way with water and salt (hmmmm!) or made with milk and served with lashings of honey or maple syrup (much better!) An early (or late if you fancy a lie in!) breakfast can be arranged the night before.

Below is a sample of what we do :-

Packed lunches

If you would like us to prepare your lunch for you then please let us know prior to your visit or the night before. Our packed lunch normally consists of a chunky doorstep sandwich with a filling of your choice and a piece of fruit for £2.80. We can add crisps and a drink at your request.

Dinner

This is where we really come into our own and we really pride ourselves on the quality of our 3 course, home cooked meal which is priced at £15 per person. Pre booking is a must as we cook everything fresh on the day and we might not have enough to go round. Also, on booking, we will ask you for any food likes or dislikes so we can tailor the menu accordingly. We can cover most dietary requirements also and vegetarian food is a speciality.
