Andy Murray and wife Kim cuddle up in rare photo ahead of big milestone
Andy Murray and wife Kim surprised fans by sharing a sweet new image of themselves to mark a special milestone. It’s coming up to ten years since the couple – who marked their 9th wedding anniversary this month – took over their Scottish countryside hotel Cromlix.
To celebrate the occasion, as previously reported by HELLO!, the five-star country house hotel, which they purchased for £1.8 million in 2014, is releasing a special anniversary menu.
The official Instagram page for Cromlix announced: “Join us as we celebrate 10 years at Cromlix with our special anniversary dinner on Sunday, 16th June.
“Our Head Chef, Darin Campbell has created a special five-course menu with dishes chosen to reflect key moments in the Murray’s family history and connection with Cromlix.”
The beautiful hotel, located just less than five miles from Dunblane, holds a special place in Andy and Kim’s hearts as it was the place where they held their wedding reception, and where the tennis champion’s grandparents hosted their silver wedding anniversary in 1982.
The new menu also includes dishes served to guests at Andy and Kim’s wedding breakfast. Created by Executive Head Chef, Darin Campbell, the special offering features: a selection of seasonal canapes using produce grown in the hotel’s kitchen garden; fan-favourite Aberdeenshire rack of lamb with basil and butterbean puree; the famed twice-baked souffle from the late chef Albert Roux; and in a nod to Andy’s tennis career, Wimbledon-inspired strawberries and cream.
But there are two more sentimental inclusions. The first dish was grilled Scottish asparagus, poached duck egg and hollandaise sauce, which was served at Andy’s grandparents Roy and Shirley Erskine’s silver wedding anniversary – the first function the hotel hosted after being converted from a family home.
