Food and Beverages at Kirkton House
A Warming Welcome
Guests are offered a welcoming hot drink in the lounge on the afternoon of their arrival.
Breakfast
Breakfast is normally served:
- Mon - Fri 8.00am to 9.30am
- Sat & Sun 8.30am to 10.00am
... However, the hosts at Kirkton House are happy to be flexible if guests have a valid reason for requiring breakfast at other times - to allow for early flights or business appointments, or for those that prefer a 'lie in' one morning! If breakfast is required before 7am, a cold buffet will be made available so that breakfast may be taken at the guest's convenience [paying the bill the evening before if departing in the morning!].
Each morning an extensive Scottish Breakfast is prepared to order, including:
- Cereals, Milk, Fruit Juices and Yogurt from the Buffet
- Tea [Regular and Herbal], Filter Coffee [Regular and Decaff] or Hot Chocolate
- Scottish Porridge Oats
- White, Wholemeal and/or Wheat/Gluten Free Toast
- Warm Croissants
- Honey and homemade marmalade and preserves
Next, there is a choice of Loch Fyne Kipper [Smoked Herring], Smoked Haddock with Poached Egg, Pan Fried Mushrooms on Toast, Two Pancakes with Maple Syrup, Two Boiled Eggs with Toast, or a full cooked breakfast.
