Private Dining

For smaller gatherings and celebrations, individual spaces within the Fife Arms may be used exclusively for private dining experiences. The Fire Room is filled with character from the striking blend of old and new, combining the interior of a Scottish croft with the site-specific commissioned artwork of a chandelier by Subodh Gupta. For larger occasions, the Fog House is a generous space that is flooded with natural light from the neighbouring courtyard. Bright in the day and warm by candlelight, it’s a delightful place to enjoy a banquet-style meal with friends, family or colleagues.

No matter how large or small the celebration, a space and menu can be tailored to suit individual requirements. From the extensive wine and whisky lists to local ingredients sourced from local farms and estates, a private meal at the Fife Arms is the perfect way to experience the very best of Scottish fine dining.

Every visit is unique and thoughtfully woven into a personal itinerary after consultation with the Events Team. Four private huts and lodges each have their own character, spanning rustic and modern styles, and serve as individual places to make memories in the Highlands.
