If you click on the link, you will see the lunch menu for the Bistro. I can strongly recommend the Burghfield Club Classic at £5.95!
Alex Salmond was most impressed when he officially opened the training hotel in 2009. Here is the newspaper account of his visit.
The Scottish Cabinet will meet at Dornoch next year, First Minister Alex Salmond revealed yesterday.
He made the announcement when he opened Burghfield House Training Hotel, a £3.8million teaching unit for the hospitality and tourism industry, and the first of its kind in Scotland.
Burghfield House is a fully-operational hotel featuring six bedrooms and a 40-seat restaurant with production and training kitchens.
Mr Salmond said: “All the Cabinet should see this wonderful concept.
“The training college will reinforce the high-quality tourist destination the area already is. Highland hospitality is legendary.”
He could see no better addition to the Highland Homecoming celebrations than to open such a facility.
Mr Salmond added: “This is a good example of a college with its finger on the economic pulse, and it is a visionary and collaborative venture.”
He acknowledged there would be some interesting challenges, but it was a magnificent opportunity for young people in the local area.
He joked that he had half a mind to delay the SNP conference in Inverness so he could stay for lunch.
And he said that kitchen superstars of the future could start their trade in the Burghfield, formerly owned by newspaper magnate Lord Rothermere.
“There will be some great names of culinary significance in the future who will pass through here, not just in Scotland, but worldwide,” he said.
“This is a superb asset for the communities of Sutherland and Caithness, and I congratulate North Highland College and the university of the Highland and Islands Millennium Institute for their vision in bringing this facility to the area.
Praise indeed!
