Renowned for choosing quality and fresh ingredients to create
delicious meals, Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, theUK's largest
privately owned hotel group is championing the return of that
timeless classic - the Great Scottish Sunday lunch!
A Scottish culinary institution, it was once the highlight of
the week bringing families together over the dinner table. Yet
figures reveal that over the past 50 years the number of those
enjoying a traditional Sunday Lunch has halved.
So from, 4 January 2013, Macdonald Hotels & Resorts has
launched the Great Scottish Sunday Lunch Campaignto resurrect the
appeal of the delicious traditional Sunday lunch with all the
trimmings.
And to kick off the campaign in style, the leading hotel group,
with an impressive 45 AA Rosettes held by its restaurants across
the UK, is offering a new traditional Sunday Lunch menu from just
£15 per person for two courses, including a glass of wine or soft
drink.
From Macdonald Inchyra Hotel & Spa in the heart ofScotlandto
the rolling countryside around Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf &
Spa in the Scottish Borders, the revival of the Great Scottish
Sunday lunch will allow family and friends of all ages to savour
classic gastronomic delights.
Using only the finest, freshest and where possible locally
sourced produce, prepared from whole raw ingredients, diners can
enjoy traditional soups, a roast of the day with seasonal
vegetarian alternatives, and nostalgic puddings including apple
crumble or bread and butter pudding.
Ruaridh Macdonald, Operations Director of Macdonald Hotels &
Resorts, commented: "Sunday lunch was once a time when friends and
family gathered together for a catch up over a succulent roast.
However, in today's generation with an ever increasing array of
leisure activities to tempt us, we have moved away from the
traditional Sunday gathering.
"In a year that has seen the UK celebrate the Queen's Jubilee
and Scottish athletes taking the lead at the Olympics, not to
mention the forthcoming 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, there
are many who have enjoyed the greater sense of community and
national spirit. So what better time to revisit and revive the
appeal of the Great Scottish Sunday lunch as a savoured classic -
and at prices that offer outstanding value."
