Part of a 250-acre resort on the outskirts of Motherwell, the Wide Mouth Frog restaurant is just one attraction of a complex which includes wedding and conferencing facilities, and a nine-hole golf course. Run by the Lisini Pub Company, the restaurant is in operation all day and the range of menus points to an ambitious one-size-fits-all approach favoured by large operations like this, with something for everyone on an a la carte dinner menu featuring fun Scottish starters like haggis samosa and black pudding scotch egg alongside the restaurant’s own frogs legs cooked Provençale-style with creamed garlic and parsley purée, a dish it would be hard to avoid serving with a venue name like that. Specialities include a chateaubriand with dauphinoise potatoes for two and there are also a range of steak and fish options, including a salt and chilli tempura monkfish. Breakfast is also available seven days, as well as a lower priced Market menu.
