Tom Lewis Literary Lunch with Alan Cumming

15 Feb 2026

Join renowned chef and restaurateur Tom Lewis, the driving force behind Monachyle Mhor, the boutique hotel and award-winning restaurant set on the lochside at the foot of the Balquhidder hills. A champion of Scottish produce and a master of refined, ingredient-led cooking, Tom’s work blends farming, foraging, hospitality, and creativity into an unforgettable culinary experience. 

From family life in the Monachyle Mhor business to the rhythms of the kitchen, from wine safaris to sourcing venison from the surrounding hills and produce from the kitchen garden, Tom brings a storyteller’s warmth and a chef’s precision to every dish—and every tale. 

Join Tom and Alan for a delicious afternoon of food, stories, and spirited conversation celebrating Scotland’s landscape, larder, and hospitality.
