Popular restaurant to open new kiosk at Loch Leven

With lockdown guidelines loosening, the Loch Leven’s Larder team is looking forward to be welcoming back customers this Easter to their Peel Farm location, where visitors can once again enjoy the award-winning restaurant, deli and retail business.

The business is also expanding, with visitors soon able to enjoy a new outdoor covered eating space, where you can have some great food and drink while taking in fantastic views over the surrounding countryside and Loch Leven.

From Easter Sunday, customers will find Loch Leven’s Larder at the iconic Boathouse Kiosk in Kinross, on western edge of Loch Leven.

Located on the Loch Leven Heritage Trail circular path, the Boathouse has always been a popular destination with locals and visitors alike.

Emma Niven, owner and co-director, said “The beauty of this prime location is it very much compliments what we currently offer at Loch Leven’s Larder. We are hoping it will appeal to everyone, locals and visitors alike; a stop off destination for those enjoying Loch Leven’s Heritage Trail, a chance to refresh, perhaps pick up a coffee, an ice cream or a light bite.

"It will also be a collection point for those who are enjoying spending the day in the local area or on the loch-side.

"You will be able to order ahead from our foodhall, such as picnic boxes, afternoon teas and more, and collect it to enjoy en-route.

“There’s no escaping what a dreadfully difficult year it has been, but we believe taking on the kiosk allows us to bring back staff from furlough and offer them a new and exciting opportunity.

"It has been a difficult time for our team and we’ve missed them. We’re hoping this will boost morale and prove a great success.

"Who knows it might even generate further opportunities in the future also.”

Loch Leven’s Larder new Boathouse kiosk, The Boathouse, Pier Road, Kinross, will be open from April 1, daily from 9.30am-4pm.
