About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Romantic
Great for scenic views

Dining at Meldrum is our 2 Red Rosette Dining Room. For those not familiar with the name, historically it symbolises welcome, friendship and great hospitality – which we thought summed up Meldrum House nicely.

The name dates back as far as 1493 when Christopher Columbus arrived in Spain on his second voyage of the world. He ventured inland and came across what he thought to be a deserted Carib Indian village. The sailors found a fruit that had a sweet flavour and juiciness and Columbus recorded it in his log as looking like a pine cone. Not long after, the pineapple was found in royal courts and circles in Europe. Any guest who was invited to a party where a whole pineapple was displayed, knew that there was no expense spared in guaranteeing the guests’ enjoyment. It was this that made the crowned fruit the high symbol of social events.

Dining is at present in the new Ballroom due to the Pineapple restaurant closure for Covid 19 restrictions. This in no way detracts from the dining pleasure. Tables are well spaced out. The staff are plentiful, polite and extremely helpful. Food as usual was excellent. Altogether a fabulous dining experience. We had booked to return but sadly Covid 19 forces closure I can easily recommend booking.

We had a fabulous pre-Christmas lunch with friends at Meldrum House on Saturday. The food & service was fantastic - as always. The seating between tables is suitably distanced but without taking all the atmosphere from the place. It gave us a feeling of “normality” for a while & we felt very relaxed dining there.
