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

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.
