• British • East Kilbride

Visit the handsome restaurant at Crutherland House in East Kilbride and enjoy a wonderful selection of dishes, created with ingredients that are carefully sourced and treated with respect by our team of talented chefs. That’s why you’ll appreciate the quality of the steak cooked exactly the way you want it, whether you’re a ribeye lover, a sirloin fan or just crave the tastiest burger around. All our beef is hung for at least 21 days and our white fish is sustainable – so our Battered North Sea Haddock and hand cut chips is a favourite dish with great provenance, too. There’s something for everyone on the menu so leave the inspiration to us – simply sit back and enjoy a first-class dining experience. If you prefer something more casual, relax in the Lounge Bar and enjoy a drink and something lighter to eat. Both our dining areas are open to non-residents and the stunning countryside views are a bonus.

Having read some of the reviews I wasn’t sure this would be a great experience. It was the best afternoon tea I have ever had. Everything on the cake stand was fresh and delicious. The waiter was lovely, very good at his job. Being a Tuesday it was quiet but very enjoyable. The only downside was it was a little pricey but I guess you get what you pay for.
