The Flemings Restaurant
The Flemings restaurant is situated within 400 acres of Lanarkshire woodland. Nestled at the foot of the Campsie Hills, the world heritage site was originally settled on by gladiators in A.D 142. The Flemings is idyllically poised on the central belt of Scotland. Aiming to utilise fantastic local resources wherever possible, we pride ourselves on embracing renowned suppliers such as Campbells Family Butcher and Caledonia s Larder for our produce. Seasonality, locality of suppliers and provenance are absolutely key to our food philosophy. Chef Lowell s inspiration behind the menu came from his classical training in both French and Scottish cuisine. He explores modernity in contemporary dishes through the use of gastronomic techniques throughout the menu. The menu also boasts an extensive array of some of the finest Scottish and French cheeses. Our introduction of the new six course tasting menu allows us to showcase the fantastic produce Scotland has to offer, whether it be the stunning Ceviche of Gigha Halibut or the delicious Shorthorn Beef. Chef Lowell s focus on flavour pairings and the cleansing of the palate is his expression of a well balanced dinning experience. After retaining our AA Rosette status in November 2012 our experienced Flemings team and Kitchen Brigade will strive to maintain our high standards and we truly hope that your meal experience is both memorable and enjoyable.
