Four of Scotland’s finest chefs are combining their talents to create a celebratory dinner as part of this year’s St Andrews Food and Drink Festival.
In what is being called “a celebration of the best local, regional and Scottish produce”, the third St Andrews Food and Drink Festival dinner will be held at the five red star Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa on Friday November 28.
The festival dinner and a week of other food-related events are being held as part of the St Andrews Day celebrations being organised through the St Andrews Partnership.
The quartet of chefs all working in St Andrews include Martin Hollis (Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa), Scott Davies (the Adamson), Alan Matthew (Fairmont St Andrews) and Ian Macdonald (St Andrews Links Trust). They are all members of the Federation of Chefs Scotland.
Martin said that chefs are all passionate about provenance and 2014 marks the third year they have come together to celebrate Scotland’s national day.
He said: “We’re very much looking forward to creating a fabulous menu using the very best ingredients from Scotland’s larder.”
The chefs will be joined by a team of students from Fife College and from SRUC Elmwood Campus and live filming of the kitchen brigade will be beamed into the hotel’s ballroom and expert speakers will introduce each of the menu courses.
Following the success of last year’s event at Fairmont St Andrews, there will be welcome reception, where diners will be able a meet a range of local food and drink businesses and sample their produce.
The dinner, priced at £65 per person, is on Friday November 28. Spaces are limited. To book, call 01334 474371, or email reservations@oldcoursehotel.co.uk.
