Our Food

Northern sands Team had a well deserved night off to celebrate winning Scottish Hotel Restaurant of the year 2022 at the Food Awards Scotland held at the Marriot Hotel in Glasgow on Monday evening.

We are very lucky to have had such a busy year but it is also exhausting for the team, so the party night couldn’t of come at better time. The night was well attended although sadly we are missing a few faces who couldn’t make it.

Super proud of these guys, hospitality is a very challenging sector and winning this award has totally given us a boost that we are doing something right! We are very thankful to our customers for the fab reviews we receive and their regular visits.

Since Martin Nicolson bought the hotel in 2016 and completely renovated and reopening in 2017 it’s taken 5 years to build up the reputation of a good reliable place to eat with friendly professional service, we are delighted that it has been recognised and aim to keep up the good work.

Myself (Company Manager), Darren Munro (Head Chef), Stefan Cunningham (Sous Chef), Ryan Colquhoun (Chef de partie) have been in the team since opening in May 2017 with Julie Bain (Head Waitress) & Rebecca Mcphee (Head Housekeeper) joining not long after, the hotel was still very busy with bookings so sadly we couldn’t all go, straws were drawn and Myself, Darren & Ryan were lucky enough to go attend the awards ceremony. Stefan, Julie & Rebecca are holding the awards in the group picture taken in NSH Links Restaurant on Friday night.
