The UK’s first vegan hotel is proving that ‘the best experiences in life don’t have to come at the expense of animals’ with its new autumn menu.
Saorsa 1875, a boutique hotel in Pitlochry, Scotland which opened in 2019, says it offers guests a ‘luxury dining experience that is 100 per cent plant-based’.
After much experimenting with vegan recipes, it has launched a new autumn menu which it says ‘subverts the traditional expectations of vegan cuisine’.
Among the new dishes are Patis Glazed Aubergine with Cabbage, Radish & Sesame Emulsion; Marmite Potatoes with Tarragon, Almonds & Watercress Sauce; and Confit Fennel with Apple & Marjoram Glaze.
Sweets include Szechuan Pavlova with Blackberry & Beetroot Sorbet and Lemon Curd and Black Truffle Macaron with Yuzu Pearls & Bay Leaf Ice Cream.

In a statement sent to Vegan Food & Living, Head Chef Debborah Fleck said: “Our menus are inspired by season, local produce, environment and global influences.
“We aim to create dishes that are exciting, have a story and focus; flavours and textures by preparing dishes that use root to tip cooking, thereby doing our small part in being sustainable.”
The restaurant is open to both residents and non-residents alike, however must be booked in advance, as walk-ins for dinner are not accepted.
Between Monday and Wednesday, three courses are available for £35pp (residents and non-residents). Meanwhile, five courses are on offer between Thursday and Saturday for £55pp (residents) or £60pp (non-residents).
