Local ingredients, local flavour

Where our food comes from

Our beef, lamb and pork are sourced from J Gilmour & son and Hardiesmill Farm. The beef that we serve comes from the finest quality beef cattle, reared and finished in the Scottish Borders.

Local butcher Craig Douglas in the village of St. Boswells supplies us with beef for our very own steak pie as well as other products. Burnside Farm Foods in Rutherford just 3 miles away supply further meat produce including poultry and game.

We are lucky to be surrounded by local suppliers of venison, hare, pigeon and other game.

When it comes to fish, we have had great support from our local fishmonger in Eyemouth, D.R.Collins, one of the most noteworthy fish suppliers in the country and winners of many awards. We also buy sustainable fish from M & J Seafoods. Fish is ordered and delivered 6 days a week and we have seen our sales of fish rise dramatically this year as customers know how fresh our fish is.
