Chef Service at Belmont House

This season at Belmont House we are delighted to be able to offer a chef service from SCJ Catering who provide the catering at Saxa Vord. The chef comes along to the house for parties of over 6 people. This service is ideal for those of you who are spending time at Belmont house for a special occasion. Although Belmont house is well equipped it does give those of you the chance to all have a night off from cooking. The chef will come along to cook the meal, which you pre-order from a set menu. Steve the owner of the company makes every effort to source local food and if you have a special request he would be happy to discuss this with you. At the Watercolour Weekend which recently went ahead at Belmont here was the menu that was offered to guests to choose from for both evenings.
