Eco Fish Suppers a Hit with Tourists at Corrour

Corrour Station House Restaurant & Rooms , one of the newest additions to the SYHA Hostelling Scotland network, is enjoying increased popularity among daytrippers under new management and with its own unique menu.

Situated in the breathtaking surroundings of Corrour Estate, hungry walkers can choose from the youth hostel’s own Scottish eco-fish dish – mackerel in oatmeal – and a selection of hearty meals.

Sweet-toothed Scots also love the Fruit Crumble, which changes daily to make use of fresh, in-season fruits while the selection of real ales is a hit with thirsty travellers returning from a day out in the hills.

Managers Hal Jacob and James Muldoon head a dynamic team of six, who have all come together to create new ideas for the menu.

The pair were thrilled to land the joint role managing Corrour Station House, which may be familiar to some as the setting for a scene in iconic Scots film, Trainspotting.

The secluded location is only accessible by train, and the absence of traffic or worries about parking only adds to the uniquely relaxing atmosphere.

Keen walkers, the co-managers are relishing the opportunity to make the most of the stunning situation with its array of wildlife. James Muldoon said: "We are seeing an increasing number of families, couples and groups of friends coming from Fort William, Glasgow and across Scotland for the day.

"It’s a great place to enjoy a day in the hills followed by a hearty meal and maybe a couple of drinks before getting the train home.

"We love working here because, of course, it is a beautiful location, and it feels very isolated yet we get to meet lots of different characters.

"There will also be people staying at nearby Loch Ossian Youth Hostel or even walkers who are camping in the hills who come down to the restaurant to treat themselves to a hot meal.

"We are lucky as well to have a fantastic team here – they are all creative and full of ideas, so we all got stuck in to creating the menu.
