Top award for former Angus woman

Former Angus woman Pamela Brunton has received a top award for her restaurant.

Pamela’s restaurant, Inver, which is on the eastern shore of Loch Fyne in Argyll, won the AA Best Scottish Restaurant 2016 at the AA Awards in London on Monday.

The former Carlogie Primary School and Carnoustie High School pupil runs the business with partner Rob Latimer.

The restaurant, which is only in its second year of operation, has already been mentioned in the Good Food Guide for the UK.

Their use of locally-sourced produce and foraged seaweed, mushrooms and wild garlic, to name a few, impressed the AA judges this year, who hailed the restaurant’s creativity, service and ambience.

Pamela and Rob have travelled Europe and have worked in leading restaurants such as Noma in Denmark and Faviken in Finland, gaining experience.

Time spent running a bistro called Superette in Ghent, Belgium, part of the Indewulf empire, also sharpened the organisational skills needed to run a compact, highquality restaurant, bakery and bar.
