Scottish steakhouse Kyloe Restaurant & Grill has beaten off stiff competition from almost 200 hopefuls to win the title of Best British Roast Dinner 2013.
The Edinburgh restaurant’s Great Sunday Meat Up impressed mystery diners thanks to its fine quality, locally sourced meat, abundance of crispy duck fat roast potatoes, fresh, well cooked roasted root veg and stand out gravy.
Chris Brown, from British Roast Dinner Week, who organised the competition, says: “Standards were high across the board, but it’s fair to say Kyloe gave the competition a roasting. The service was warm, the food first class and the theatre of a whole joint of borders roast rib of beef carved at the table made for an exceptional experience.
“What’s more, the gravy – something which 90% of consumers say is vital for the perfect roast – was top notch.”
Speaking of the win, Murray Ward, General Manager of The Rutland Hotel, home of Kyloe Restaurant and Grill, says: “We’re thrilled to have won the title of Best British Roast Dinner 2013, proving that our roasts are the best – not just in Scotland but the whole of the UK.
“Kyloe, an old Scots word for Highland beef cattle, was chosen for the name of the restaurant as it represents the strength and versatility of Scottish beef produce. I think this strength reflects in our team and I want to thank them for their passion, hard work and first class service, as without them this award wouldn’t have been possible.”
Kyloe was awarded the title to mark the last day of British Roast Dinner Week 2013, sponsored by Knorr and supported by Colman’s.
