A BAR and restaurant near Helensburgh is celebrating industry success after being named as one of only a handful of Scottish winners in this year's Good Food Awards.

The Rhu Inn, situated in a historic listed building on Gareloch Road, has received a coveted Blue Ribbon in the annual awards, recognising the best of British cuisine.

Having gone on the market in late-2021 and reopened the following year, the Inn's team have been working hard for the prize alongside head chef John Surtees and sous chef Euan Page.

"Thank you also to all our lovely customers whose support has made this possible.

"As the only winner in the Helensburgh area, and one of a select few in Scotland as a whole, we are particularly proud to receive this award."
