We also work closely with the amazing Galloway Food Hub to source the rest of our ingredients from small scale, sustainable and local growers and producers who live right here alongside us in Dumfries and Galloway. There are one or two items which we have had to source from further afield, but these have all been painstakingly criticked to be both as delicious and sustainable as possible. Even the wood fuelling the fire your food is cooked on has come from our sustainably managed woodland right here on the farm. It’s a true celebration of local food that not only tastes delicious but celebrates a true taste of Dumfries and Galloway, that works in harmony with nature.
