About
Report
I fulfil the typical sterotypes of The Italian Man when it comes to food, family and football. Of course my vespa has a special place in my heart too! I love going back to Naples every year to see my family, especially in the summer, the food is great and if I don't get any sun I go green. I love living back in my homeland, being close to my family and those old friendships that never change.
Restaurant
Report
My husband Andrea and I run the restaurant. With many years of experience in this trade behind us. After 13 years in Edinburgh and a year in Italy we returned to my roots to grow our family and establish a new business. The Pheasant interior has been renovated with my creative eye; a modern rustic styled dining room with bespoke lighting, driftwood bar and original artwork create an elegant, warm and cosy atmosphere.
Our Food
Report
Although strongly influenced by traditional Italian cooking methods the dishes themselves do not stop at the traditional. Dishes "just the way my Mamma makes them" are combined with more contemporary flavours not commonly found in Italy. Our seasonal menu offers a concise selection of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes and assures our customers all our dishes are freshly prepared.
Our Pheasant Story
Report
The story of The Pheasant started for us when we moved back from Turin, Italy in the summer of 2015 with our 2 month old son Duncan. My dad, Colin Dewar had bought the old Pheasant Inn premises the year before and had plans to rennovate the C Listed building back in to two houses. Just a little retirement project!
