Sutor Creek

Sutor Creek

Sutor Creek Café in Cromarty, run by husband and wife team Graham and Phoebe Fox, is a relaxed family restaurant offering innovatively cooked seasonal food and traditional Italian wood-fired pizzas.

Lunch and dinner menus are created from locally sourced, seasonal produce that highlight the very best of what the Black Isle’s natural larder has to offer. Cromarty langoustines, crabs and lobsters are landed at the harbour just yards from the kitchen door, the rich farming heritage on the Black Isle provides exceptional meats and vegetables, while edible flowers, foraged mushrooms and herbs are incorporated into dishes as they are in season.

Sutor Creek’s traditional Italian wood-fired pizzas are made from home-made dough, topped with a simple tomato and garlic sauce, mozzarella cheese and then baked to perfection on the brick hearth of the traditional wood-fired oven. Toppings range from pepperoni to roast vegetables with pesto and toasted hazelnuts, and the ever-famous crayfish, Italian sausage, ricotta and coriander!

Open Wednesday through Sunday from 11am-9pm, Sutor Creek offers a selection of home-baking, teas & coffees, organic wines and local beers, lunch, dinner and wood-fired pizzas.

The phrase “Great minds think alike” was certainly the case on a cold winter night earlier this year. As I sat in the house drinking from a Craig Allan glass the idea of doing a collaboration brew with the old friend came to me. A quick email later and it transpired that Craig had just thought the same thing! Craig used to live on the Black Isle but moved out to France where he now produces an awesome range of beers.

Next the beer style was discussed and guess what, we were both thinking the same thing - a Saison (French farmhouse ale for those who are unfamiliar). However a few difficulties were discovered in attempting to organise logistics for a specific yeast strain whilst we had a set date Craig could make it over and I was away for the weeks before the brewday. Therefore we decided to use our house yeast strain and create a new beer style – the Unstout. A pitch black beer with a creamy white head (the “stout” part) coupled with very low alcohol content and a massive American hop charge (the “Un” part).
