Hi Geoff,
Please can you confirm that the Starters, Main Courses and Desserts
advertised on the QL is 30 web site are interchangeable. That is, can
we mix and match the courses - otherwise how do we plan our dinner?
Are the Sample Menus fixed meals offered? What starter and Dessert go
with the Haggis, Neaps and Tatties? or can we please ourselves?
Please advise.
Kind Regards,

Our apologies for the uncertainty and the mixed messages there have been
over the dinner. It has been just as confusing for us as for anyone
else. The problem has arisen because we are dealing with two different
sections of the hotel and we were getting mixed messages. We are being
housed in one of the conference rooms and they are used to fixed tailor
made menus with the price determined by the client. However we are being
offered menus at the standard price.
The problem with mix and match is that a combination taken from the
three different menus could mean that some one chooses three items that
in total come to more than the standard price and that would mean
booking in advance and a possible increase in the cost. For this reason
the hotel had suggested choosing one of the three standard menus.
For clarification:
Cranachan in menu 1 is toasted oatmeal soaked in whisky and raspberries
in whipped cream and honey laced with whisky.
Skirlie in menu 2 is toasted oatmeal mixed in mashed potato.
Haggis bonbon is similar in appearance to a scotch egg, but with a
filling of Haggis instead of egg.
John Sadler and I thought that menu 3 was probably the best to opt for
as it is the most neutral of the three, but we will listen to any
opinions before booking.

Just a note about the bar arrangements. The room is situated on a
different floor from the bars and restaurants. Our numbers are too small
to justify a bar in the room, but there will be a waiter service.
I hope this clarifies matters,
Best wishes,
Geoff
