    Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall makes a dish to throw together when you have the remains of a pork joint and have picked off all the crackling when nobody was looking!

    Organic dairy farmers who diversified into cheesemaking, and now produce a range of fantastic organic cheese.

    Ballards sell good meat; beef and lamb from Compstonend Farm near Castle Douglas; one of the best Cumberland sausages I've ever tasted; and they sell rabbit. Friendly, helpful service. Worth travelling 40 miles each way a couple of times a year to stock up the freezer.

    Local, seasonal food sourced from producers and growers that the staff are happy to tell you more about. Puddings use fresh local fruit and herbs. I once had basil ice cream there - amazing ! Downstairs is cosy, upstairs quieter. And the prices are reasonable.
