Creelers
of Arran, Restaurants and Smokehouse
|
Creelers Restaurants on Arran and in Edinburgh's Old Town on Arran were founded by Tim and Fran James, who run them personally. Tim also looks after the Arran Smokehouse and the sourcing of the seafood sold by the restaurants. |
 |
|
Tim and Fran have been associated with the west of Scotland all their lives. Tim started work as a fisherman twenty-five years ago and more recently founded the Arran Smokehouse. This produces the highest quality smoked products and trades separately under the name of Arran Smoked Products, selling through its shop, by mail order and in selected retail outlets (see Smokehouse and Shop). |
 |
|
| |
The restaurants are both called Creelers, the
name originating from the fact that much of the
shellfish is caught in creels, often from their
own boat the Julie-Ann, in the seas around Arran.
All the seafood is brought fresh to the restaurants
daily by Tim, who also sells the produce at Farmers
Markets in Edinburgh and Stirling (see Farmers
Markets). |
 |
Creelers Restaurant in Edinburgh opened in 1995, bringing with it the philosophy of simplicity, careful sourcing,quality cooking and elegant presentation.
