Kilchrenan Inn

Kilchrenan Inn Scottish food cooked from scratch, warm hospitality and rooms worth the journey, by Loch Awe.
(285)

Located in the heart of the small village of Kilchrenan, the Inn will serve good, honest, British food for lunch and dinner, alongside a carefully selected range of beers, wines and spirits. Once an 18th century trading post, the Inn has been transformed into a contemporary gastropub and is a true gem hidden amongst the munros and lochs of rural Argyll & Bute. The Kilchrenan Inn is a 15-minute dri

ve from Taynuilt and a short walk from the shores of Loch Awe, one of Scotland's largest lochs. It is the ideal pit-stop for those exploring the West of Scotland and only a short drive from Oban, the Gateway to the Isles.

Christmas at The Kilchrenan Inn

Christmas in our corner of Argyll means good food, a warm fire, a few festive drinks and plenty of time to settle in and enjoy the season.

We’ll be open across Christmas and New Year, with a few changes to our usual hours along the way. We’ll also be serving our special Christmas Prix Fixe Menu throughout the festive season, filled with some of our favourite winter dishes and seasonal ingredients.

If you’re planning to eat with us, we’d recommend booking ahead — it’s always a busy time at the Inn.

Then, from 4th January, we’ll close the doors for our winter break, reopening on 10th February, rested and ready for the year ahead.

We look forward to sharing the festive season with you.

The Game Season

The arrival of the game season marks one of the most anticipated times of the year in Scotland's countryside. For generations, wild game has been an important part of our culinary heritage, with each species becoming available only during carefully managed seasons that protect breeding populations and ensure healthy numbers for the future.

Here on Scotland's west coast, red deer roam the hills, while grouse, pheasant and partridge inhabit our moorlands, woodlands and farmland. Sustainable game management plays an essential role in maintaining these landscapes, protecting native habitats and supporting biodiversity, while also helping rural estates, gamekeepers and local communities continue centuries-old traditions.

Unlike farmed meat, wild game lives naturally, feeding on the landscape around it. The result is meat with exceptional depth of flavour that reflects the place it comes from. Because each species is available for only a short period each year, game remains one of the truest expressions of seasonal cooking.

As different species come into season, our menus evolve to celebrate them at their very best. Some dishes may only appear for a few weeks before disappearing again until next year—a reminder that the finest ingredients cannot be hurried or enjoyed all year round.

On our menu-

Red Grouse (subject to availability)

Pan-fried before being gently finished in the oven, our grouse is served with homemade sourdough bread sauce, roasted seasonal vegetables and a truffle Bordelaise sauce.
