Authentic Scottish Hospitality
Through the development of the Crofters brand, along our kinship with other family run Scottish Spirit producers, local food producers, and the relations kindled through our love of music: Crofters is well on its way to deliver on our ambitions.
“to be a world-class national landmark and lifestyle brand by offering the best food, drink, service and musical experience in Scotland.”
We are driven by an ambition to provide excellence, across all our food, drink, and music offerings; taking genuine account of sustainable provenance, which includes a conscious decision to source as locally as possible, where possible.
Warm Friendly Service
A cosy, welcoming, warm, and vibrant environment. Like entering the family home, Crofters prides itself on what we can offer and ensuring every guest is treated like a family member.
With professional and experienced Front of House team members we pride ourselves on delivering attentive and personable service with warmth and humour. Given the opportunity we love to engage in conversations, discuss our home and general goings on, get talking about our favourite drinks and what we're up to. We thrive on delivering engaging service with both parties feeling like they've met a new friend - many of our guests have become friends along the way.
Locally Sourced food
Our kitchen team are enthusiastic and dedicated to providing excellent locally sourced meals. We are committed to transparency in our food and drinks menus, with properly defined, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, in addition to high-quality, locally sourced meats and seafood. We take our responsibilities towards farming practices and allergens in food seriously.
Alongside showcasing Crofters Larder produce, all our fruit and veg comes from local growers, our pasture raised pork and beef butchered in Mull, Carluke or Paisley, and venison, pheasant and duck shot when in season.
Going back to the fundamentals of creating delightful meals from the seasonality of produce allows us to be creative with the menu and presentation. Dishes can change daily and specials sell out - everything is fresh and made in house.
Whether it's a light lunch, sharing plates over cocktails, a special occasion or full dining experience with live music we have something for all.
Independent brands
Our bar is stocked with a vast array of products from exclusively independent, Scottish where possible, brands.
Each and every product is there to showcase the wonderful selection of families and individuals with their feet on the ground to create delicious, sustainable, and ethical products.
We have a commitment to supporting independent brands so you won't see the likes of Coca-Cola, Schweppes or your normal house pours. We do however have a fantastic selection of alternative brands to satisfy your palette.
And of course, we have our own Crofters Still spirits for you to enjoy - created by Prentice in our own micro still house.
Craft Cocktails
From the perennial classics to contemporary creations and our own weird and wonderful concoctions our team love putting together delectable, and sometimes potent, drinks. From Bloody Marys with pickles and bacon, to the Dragon's Breath - a mezcal based cocktail with a dash of chilli, or a straight forward Martini our team can make you what your looking for.
Just after what you know - ask the team. If we have it we can make it!
Late night drinks? Why not share a cheeseboard or oyster platter?
Talk to the team and have something you'll love.
Tea & Coffees
From a cortado to cappuccino, flat whites, or lattes our team will bring you your coffee as desired. Using Mossgiel Organic Milk and ethically sourced coffee you can be assured that your coffee is not only delicious but doing good.
More of a tea drinker? We have a vast array of teas from classic black leaf to green, fruit and herbs. We're even working to create our own loose leaf from garden grown herbs and foraged botanicals. Always served in a tea pot, unless you'd prefer a mug.
Live Music
"Whether it has a touch of gypsy jazz here or a hint of blues there, the connecting thread of music at Crofters is that it recreates the atmosphere of the living room session or the home spun kitchen ceilidh, bringing strangers and friends together in shared enjoyment of music, accompanied by a generous share of good food, drink and fun."
Live music has been integral to the story at Crofters over the years. From folk to Americana, Trad, Jazz and Bluegrass it is the music of the people. We host open sessions and regular live gigs throughout the week - our experiential dining would not be complete without our live music offering.
