Rhubarb delivers all of the gourmet delights, magic, drama and romance you would expect from the creator of the Witchery by the Castle. Wickedly rich and dramatic this stylish and oh-so glamorous restaurant occupies grand Regency rooms at the heart of Prestonfield.
Expect exceptional cuisine with exceptional Scottish produce: much locally sourced from small artisan suppliers. You can explore the adjacent historic rooms as places to enjoy a drink before and after dining. It is a little out of town, but well worth the journey.
