Pub Etiquette in Ireland, indeed the British Isles

The recent story on pub etiquette caught my eye as I have seen the unknowing American traveler make the same mistake more times than I could count. The article has much more significance if you have witnessed the “round” ritual first hand, otherwise it is slightly obtuse. Good fun reading at http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/travel-irish-pubs-dummies/story?id=8674067

Chez Rouz in Inverness

Opened in April, 2009 Chez Roux in Inverness is located within the Rocpool Reserve Hotel www.rocpool.com. The owner is the renowned chef Albert Roux OBE. As part of our ongoing process we always seek feedback from clients on all of their travel experiences and without exception this restaurant has received rave reviews from PerryGolf clients.

In addition to an extremely high quality of dining experience, clients have commented on the excellent value for money and the wine list also reasonably priced. The website provides much detail with menus and prices.

In addition to smaller groups who have dined there we had a group of 20 travelers in July who were visiting some of the finest establishments in Scotland and all commented that Chez Rouz was their very best meal.

If you have not been to Inverness in recent years it is worth a visit. Much has changed in the city and it has a contemporary buzz to it.

Cellar Restaurant – St. Andrews

The Cellar Restaurant is a favorite of mine and is one of the finest Seafood Restaurants in Scotland. A short drive from St.Andrews you will find it tucked behind Anstruther’s Scottish Fisheries Museum, just off the harbour front. You enter the 17th century listed building via a pretty cobbled courtyard garden, before receiving a warm welcome from owners Peter and Susan Jukes. With its original beams, tiled floor and candle-lit tables, the dining room provides the perfect setting for a great night out.
