Marking the launch of a new series of Sunday summer events at The Gannet, and the first restaurant collaboration for Macneil, the extraordinary six-course seafood feast will take place on Sunday, August 4th from 12 until 4pm and feature the best of Scotland’s seas.
This exclusive event promises to be a must-try experience for shellfish enthusiasts and food lovers alike. The carefully curated menu by chef patron, Peter Mckenna highlights the exceptional quality and taste of Scottish seafood, prepared with the finesse and creativity that The Gannet is renowned for.
Partnering with nearly 600 local suppliers in Scotland, MacNeil Shellfish has carved out a reputation for its wild, creel-caught delicacies, including crab, lobster, and langoustine, setting the gold standard for responsible shellfish sourcing.
Diners to the Shellfish Sunday Service will enjoy the freshest, high-quality seafood dishes sourced from the pristine Scottish waters. All seafood on the menu is sourced sustainability and locally by Macneil Shellfish. Menu highlights include:
A mouthwatering must-try XL Langoustine carpaccio, with crisp langoustine and lemon. Moreish house-baked bread with a rich lobster butter; Brown Crab beignet with apple; and spider crab with fresh peas, and a hint of wasabi.
The star of the show is local creel-caught lobster, poached in butter to enhance its natural sweetness. Then paired with tender Barra cockles, potato dumplings, pickled pink peppercorns, and earthy Ayrshire girolles, this dish showcases the very best of Scotland.
And to finish, succulent Perthshire strawberries with cream fraiche, dill - a refreshing end to a stunning meal.
Amber Knight, co-owner of MacNeil Shellfish, said: “We are so excited to partner with The Gannet for this special seafood lunch in Glasgow. It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase the exceptional quality of our sustainable, creel-caught shellfish in a unique and luxurious setting. We live and breathe seafood and the menu Peter has put together will make your mouth water.”
Peter McKenna (pictured), chef patron at The Gannet said: “We have recently launched our Sunday Service—a new direction for our team here at The Gannet. Collaborating with MacNeil Shellfish, who share our passion for provenance, allows us to bring the best of locally caught Scottish shellfish to your plate. Join us on Sunday 4th August to enjoy a superb menu—you won’t be disappointed.”
The Gannet x Macneil Shellfish, Sunday Service collaboration takes place at The Gannet on Sunday 4th August with sittings available from 12p until 3pm. The event is priced at £60pp and includes six beautiful courses at The Gannet.
Places are limited and expected to sell out very quickly. You can secure your table by booking here.
