Christmas Orders
I do not need to tell you how fast Christmas is approaching!
This year we are taking Christmas Orders for turkeys and all the trimmings as per normal. We guarantee to source the most local and freshest produce to ensure your Christmas meal is one to remember, for all the right reasons.
We can offer rolled turkey breasts this year as well as whole birds.
Check out our on line order form at the link below or come in and chat over your order over a coffee.
This year we will have our own butchery up and running in our shop, so if there is any special cut of meat you would like just let us know.

Extension Update
The building work has been creating a lot of interest around the shop and cafe. The ground works and drainage are all completed and the steel frame is currently going up. Things are really starting to take shape now!
The builders have been really great, and have caused little or no disruption. Pop up and check out the progress, if you have any suggestions or questions please speak to any of my team or email me direct. |

Day at the Races
I know this is not a foodie piece but it is about supporting local.
We get a lot of requests for sponsorship or donations of some form or another. We do try and support as many as we can, especially the charities close to our own heart.
One area that we never envisaged getting involved in was motor sport! A young lad from Dalmeny, Rory Bryant, is an up and coming star on the circuit. Rory approached me a year ago but I was unable to help out, this year he approached me again but with a different tact which involved Craigie's providing him with lunch for a sponsors day at Knockhill in return for our logo on his car. Of course George and I had to take this job on............we had a great day and Rory got a couple of wins as well.
If you are in the least bit interested in racing you should read Rory's race notes, they make really exciting reading.
