The 19th HoleThe 19th Hole
What better way to work up a great appetite than a satisfying round of golf?
When you want to alleviate your hunger and thirst, you'll be looking forward to our wholesome local produce - succulent summer berries, the freshest sea food, the finest Angus beef, and perhaps a palate-warming nightcap from Glencadam - the Carnoustie Country distillery. So whether you want an a la carte dining experience or a comfortable pub lunch - served with a warm Scottish welcome - you are sure to find it in Carnoustie Country.
Friendly, traditional pubs and country house hotels complement modern bars and chic restaurants and clubs - whatever your preference or ideal night out, you can find it here. Ceilidhs, concerts, sessions, night clubbing, festivals and theatre or just a quiet drink with a beautiful view after a great round of golf - the Angus and Dundee offers visitors a great choice of apres-golf and 19th hole entertainment.
The area also offers visitors a wide range of culinary highlights, delicacies and gastronomic sensations, that are sure to leave you longing for more. Some world-famous dishes and foods have come from Angus - perhaps the most famous being the traditional Arbroath 'Smokie'. These wood-smoked haddock are a delicacy that should not be missed. A culinary delight exclusive to the Angus area, the 'Smokie' is now protected under European Law as a 'Protected Geographical Location', the same mark of 'food for the gods' quality as that enjoyed by Parma Ham and champagne.
The Forfar Bridie, a satisfying meat and onion pastie, and the Dundee pie are the original fast foods, and a visit to the area would not be complete without a slice of Dundee cake or trip to Visocchi's Ice Cream Parlour in Kirriemuir.
If you are catering for yourself during your stay, you will find plenty of local retailers giving the big supermarkets a run for their money in each town - high quality fresh fish suppliers, excellent family butchers, mouth-watering bakeries, and fresh local soft fruit and a variety of vegetables can be found at market gardens and farmers' markets throughout the area.
