Creel Caught by Gary Maclean
Creel Caught at Bonnie & Wild is the first solo venture of Gary Maclean, educator, MasterChef winner, and Scotland’s first National Chef!
Creel Caught offers guests to Bonnie & Wild a first-class, fun dining experience, with an array of beautiful dishes for seafood lovers.
Created by Gary Maclean, the National Chef of Scotland and MasterChef the Professionals winner, Creel Caught's menu seeks to showcase the many different types of fresh seafood available, from Loch Etive trout to mussels from Shetland and hand-dived scallops from Mull.
Working with fishmongers across Scotland, from Mull to Peterhead, Eyemouth to Lerwick, Creel Caught is 100% committed to sustainable sourcing, buying only from ethical suppliers working in conjunction to the Marine Conservation Society's Good Fish Guide.
As well as regularly catering to many of the events we host at Bonnie & Wild, Gary also launched our first Chef's Table Experience, held in partnership with Bruichladdich Distillery. Over three days, Gary served up a series of courses to lucky diners who were able to watch Gary cook their lunch and dinner before retiring to our private Tryst Bar for refreshments!
"We picked our lunch up directly from MasterChef: The Professionals 2016 winner, and National Chef of Scotland, Gary Maclean. Although Creel Caught is his first restaurant, I’m not sure I expected him to be here in person, since he’s also senior chef lecturer at City of Glasgow College. Still, it’s the summer holidays, and I enjoyed watching the chilled camaraderie between him and three young chefs. I’d already given the menu a whirl at the launch event, so I know the Peterhead landed fish and chips and the hot-smoked Loch Etive sea trout from the menu of sustainable Scottish seafood, are great. Now I can also vouch for the Creel Caught platter."
"Beautiful seafood and wonderful friendly service. We enjoyed our mussels with their tasty sauce and skinny fries. Perfect spot in the St James Quarter!"
