The Westerwood Hotel & Golf Resort

Westerwood House is a stylish contemporary golf and spa-oriented hotel in extensive grounds overlooking the Campsie Hills, yet only a 15-minute drive from the bright lights of Glasgow city centre. On the food front, Fleming's Restaurant fits the bill with its clean-cut modern look, all darkwood tables and seats upholstered in warm hues of tangerine and sage-green, while a switched-on professional team make sure it all goes with a swing. The kitchen follows a broadly modern Scottish path, enlivened with a splash of well-considered creativity here and there. Pan-fried scallops with chorizo and sweetcorn salsa and sweetcorn purée is a typical starter, while mains might run to roast rump of Perthshire lamb with Provençal vegetables, pan juices and pesto. To round things off, an irresistibly Scottish Irn Bru baked Alaska should hit the spot.
