Famous chef Albert Roux is set to transform the 19th hole at a renowned borders golf course by launching a Franco-Scottish inspired restaurant on the Green. Golfers will be able to enjoy a more relaxed Roux dining experience at the Roxburghe Hotel and Golf Course this summer from a menu specially designed with golfers in mind.
Head of the famous cooking dynasty behind the UK’s first triple Michelin Starred restaurant, London’s Le Gavroche, Albert Roux said: “Chez Roux on the Green give us an opportunity to enhance the quality experience offered by the region’s championship golf course and award-winning hotel. Having already established a fine-dining presence with Chez Roux in the hotel, I look forward to launching the new restaurant at the clubhouse.
“A high caliber course deserves a menu to match, and, inspired by the clubs loyal members, it will feature country-styled food crafted using local produce. Like the course itself, the Roxburghe’s 19th will be an experience to savour.”
Chez Roux on the Green will overlook the first tee of the 7,111 yard Roxburghe golf course. Designed by greens guru and Ryder Cup hero, Dave Thomas, the par 72 course was the region’s first championship quality course and is considered one of the most challenging in Scotland. This latest Roux venture adds to the culinary star’s established presence in the hotel led by head chef, Lee Pattie, who will also oversee the Roux on the Green. Lee honed his gastronomical talents training at numerous Michelin starred restaurants across Europe including De Karmeliet (Bruges) and Roux’s La Gavroche (London). Under Lee’s guidance Chez Roux at Inver Lodge Hotel was awarded two AA rosettes and five star restaurant status.
For a fine-dining experience, the hotel’s Chez Roux restaurant offers an indulgent menu inspired by French classical cuisine and much loved Roux classics including, Soufflé Suissesse and Tarte au Citron.
