Scott Davies of The Three Chimneys
THE Good Food Guide announced its top UK restaurants yesterday, The Three Chimneys on Skye receiving this year’s Editor’s Award for Restaurant of the Year.
It has also made its first appearance in the top 50 this year, ranking at 25 with a cooking score of seven.
Editor of the guide Elizabeth Carter said: “It is superbly satisfying to come across a restaurant that knows just what it’s doing, without seeming to try.”
Head chef Scott Davies said: “As chefs in the kitchen we have our heads down with the blinkers on, getting on with the job. So it was a bolt out of the blue to get a call from the Editor of The Good Food Guide and find out that The Three Chimneys has won Restaurant of the Year. I was so thrilled.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
