The dining room at The Kitchin has undergone a make-over and I can’t wait to show you new images shortly. I am also excited to introduce my diners to all the fantastic produce available on my menu at The Kitchin just now.
The shellfish and fish from the cold Scottish waters are of exceptional quality just now and I am proud that a lot of it come from the harbour just a few minutes away from the restaurant.
I have also joined the twitter world. If you want to know more about my food and what’s happening in my world, follow me on @tomkitchin
