Phil Yates
Phil Yates is Head Chef of Keavil House Hotel and manages the kitchen team of our Botanist Restaurant. Phil brings a wealth of experience to the cooking at Keavil House Hotel and has been serving up award winning dishes for over 20 years. Phil cooks with fresh local produce from Fife and Scotland and believes few places have a better natural larder than the farms, hills, seas and rivers of Scotland.
Our restaurant menus are inspired by Phil’s belief that when dining out you should experience food that you don’t cook in your own home and that you should leave feeling satisfied and surprised.


Restaurant Menus
Our Head Chef, Phil Yates, has created an all-day menu which offers classic favourites using local and Scottish produce.
