A feast for the senses
The Glasshouse
Be instantly uplifted as you step inside our fresh and airy Glasshouse Restaurant, which brings the outside, in.
Here, we serve up thoughtfully prepared food and drink in a brasserie setting. Our cuisine is a celebration of simplicity done brilliantly, the Scottish seasons and the very best that nature has to offer.
Drenched with natural light and alive from floor to ceiling with beautiful blooms, this atmospheric, beautiful conservatory is perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner and the most special of occasions. We’ve filled this comfortable, casual space with original artwork, botanicals and vibrant fabrics, all working to complement the beautiful food served within.
Whatever the occasion, expect a warm welcome from our front of house team, and the kind of engaging, heartfelt service that instantly puts you at ease.
Executive Head Chef, James Mearing and his team prepare wild and wonderful Scottish produce from our open kitchen, taking inspiration from our surroundings to create a landscape of flavour, colour and texture on every plate.
We’re fortunate to have a world of flavour, right on our doorstep. We source many of our ingredients from the local area, including the kitchen garden, and the nearby woodland. Join us at the table and sample our local, natural, beautiful food.
Meet the Chef
Executive Head Chef James Mearing is a recent addition to the Cromlix team, having joined in February 2025.
James brings with him experience of working at some of the UK’s leading restaurants, including a stint as Executive Chef at Summer Lodge Country House Hotel and Restaurant in Evershot, Dorset where he held three AA Rosettes, the Michelin starred Wild Rabbit in the Cotswolds and The Gainsborough Bath Spa (where he was an instrumental part in the restaurant achieving its three AA Rosettes).
James is passionate about exploring different cuisines and flavours, using local, in-season produce and trying new techniques and recipes to create really exceptional food. His dishes pack a flavoursome punch, look spectacular on the plate, and receive almost universal praise from the Cromlix diners.
James will be in charge of all fine dining at the hotel, and will also be a fundamental part of planning for our new restaurant and kitchen which are due to open in Spring 2026.
