Overview

Inn on the Loch is a pub, restaurant and cafe bar situated beside Lanark Loch in Lanark, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. According to its own website, the venue was originally a boat house in the 1900s and was formerly known as Lanark Loch before taking its present name. It occupies an impressive setting beside a park that offers fishing, a children's play area, a putting green and a golf course, and it presents itself as a modern, light and airy pub with a relaxed atmosphere and an idyllic outlook over the loch and the adjacent golf course. The business operates two main food and drink spaces. The restaurant sits on the upper level with a balcony overlooking the loch and golf course, serving a varied all-day menu with additional 'Chef's Special' selections on Saturday nights, and offering lunch, special Sunday lunches and a Table d'Hote dinner menu.

The venue also caters for private functions and informal evening entertainment, and its menu is designed to suit everyone from children to meat lovers and vegetarians. Inn on the Loch positions itself as a destination for locals and visitors to the Clyde Valley, New Lanark and the Falls of Clyde, inviting guests to stop for coffee, tea, a light snack or a main meal. Bookings can be made online or by telephone. The website also promotes seasonal offers such as a festive and Christmas menu. The business is a small, independent Scottish hospitality venue rather than part of a large chain, and no parent company, ownership group or listing status is disclosed in the available evidence.
