Our Food

Introduction

We believe in giving our guests the opportunity to taste and enjoy the very best that the region can provide. Therefore, we prepare all of our food from fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers and producers. We use a small band of dedicated producers, many of whom have won regional and national awards for their produce.

We have an extensive breakfast menu, that features award-winning black pudding and haggis, locally cured bacon and homemade bread and preserves. The eggs are from our own chickens.

For lunch we can prepare a packed lunch to fit in your rucksack or a more elaborate picnic in a hamper.

Finally, we can serve you supper in the comfort of your bedroom. Ideal after a long drive, or when relaxing after a strenuous walk. The suppers usually comprise of 3 courses, and of course everything is home-made and freshly prepared.

We are fully able to cater for vegetarians, vegans and those with special dietary needs.

Packed Lunches & Picnics

After a relaxing breakfast we would be happy to send you off for a day's walking with a packed lunch in your rucksack or, for a liesurely drive with a full picnic hamper.

The cost for this is £6.00 per person. Jane makes the bread and bakes for each packed lunch so, If you would like a packed lunch after your first night, please organise this before you arrive, for subsequent days please ask us before 5:00 pm the night before.

The full picnic is a much more elaborate affair and needs a little time to prepare, so please discuss this with us when you book. Typically the cost would be £15 to £25 per person depending upon your selections.

Suppers

We serve a 3-course supper in your room, where you can relax in your dressing gown, and enjoy a glass of your own wine. We normally serve supper at 7:00pm. We are not licenced, but you are more than welcome to bring your own wine and other drinks. There is a fridge, wine glasses and a cork screw in each room.

We do need to know at least 48 hours before your arrival if you would like supper on your first night and then at breakfast on subsequent days. As with all our food it is freshly prepared and we do need a little time to source the ingredients and prepare the dishes.

We do not have a set menu for the suppers. When they are booked we will ask you for any likes or dislikes and prepare something tasty for you to enjoy.

The suppers are £20.00 per person

For parties that have booked more than one room we would normally serve the supper in the dining room. We would also be happy to offer a more elaborate meal for a group booking. Please call us to discuss your requirements.
