Restaurants taste success
North East Fife has tasted success in the Scottish Restaurant Awards at the EICC in Edinburgh.
The Peat Inn near Cupar has been named rural restaurant of the year.
The restaurant came out ahead of recent Michelin Star winner the Champany Inn, and the perennial favourite the Three Chimneys on Skye, to lift the coveted title.
The Peat Inn was taken over by chef/proprietor Geoffrey Smeddle and his wife Katherine in 2006. Geoffrey said he was delighted with the award.
It comes, he said, in recognition of the hard work put into the restaurant by his team at the former coaching inn.
In the autumn of 20076 The Peat Inn was awarded five stars by VisitScotland as a restaurant with rooms.
At the same event The Seafood restaurant in St Andrews and St Monans scooped the speciality restaurant of the year.
Delighted chef and patron, Tim Butler and Craig Millar, expressed their delight at scooping the prize, saying that it is always a joy to win prizes such as these, especially in the light of such tough competition.
