All the food that we prepare comes from the philosophy of simple dishes with quality ingredients showcasing the best of local produce.
In the same way that we try our hardest to make sure our coffee is sourced as ethically as possible, we do the same with our food. Unfortunately coffee doesn't grow in Aberdeenshire, but the fact that so much of our food produce does makes this a lot more fun!
OUR MEAT
The health and well-being of everyone involved in providing us with any product is vital to us. This also extends to the animals on the farms that we buy from. It is important to us that they are well looked after, able to run around and live happy lives. This is why all our meat is free range - we know where it has been and trust the farmers we work with. A superb bonus being, that it is undeniable that meat cared for in this way tastes infinitely better!
OUR VEG
We get as much of our vegetables, salad leaves and fruit as we can from as locally as possible! As with our meat, we are convinced that local, as fresh as possible, and in season tastes so much better. If you think your soup is full of flavour, that's because the vegetables in it probably came out of the ground very recently! Perfect!
AND THE REST
It would take a long time to list everything we use here so let's give you a quick fly by. All our eggs are free range and get delivered straight from the chicken run a few miles away. Every cake and treat you see in the cafe has been made here using only organic flour and Fairtrade sugar and chocolate. Our jam is made on a farm just the other side of Pitmedden, the lemonade in the fridge is made just outside Fraserburgh and even the beer comes from a certain, very local, brewery!
