Rhubarb Restaurant
Rhubarb delivers all of the gourmet delights and theatre you would expect from the creator of the Witchery by the Castle. Our menus feature some of the freshest seasonal Scottish produce, locally sourced from small artisan suppliers.
Prestonfield was the first estate in Scotland to propagate rhubarb in the eighteen century and it is still grown on the estate and used in our kitchens today.
