Jack ‘O’ Bryan’s restaurant in Dunfermline has been named Restaurant of the Year 2025, in the casual-dining category, at the Scottish Licensed Trade News (SLTN) awards, held in Glasgow on 6 November.

Bryan Coghill, father of Jack Coghill, who heads up the restaurant, commented:

“We are beyond thrilled to pick up the prestigious award at an awards ceremony which sees us judged by our fellow hospitality professionals. It means a great deal to me personally as my wife Michelle and I won one of the first-ever SLTN awards when we were running a hotel up in the northeast of Scotland many years ago. Now we're onto our next generation, with our son Jack at the helm.

“Winning this award is even more of an achievement for us, given that only 16 weeks ago, we opened our second family restaurant, The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack in South Queensferry. Jack has been extremely busy working at both locations.

“We've managed to get through to the top three in the National Fish & Chip Awards in the best newcomer category for The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack, so it really is shaping up to be a fantastic end to 2025 for us as a hospitality family.”
