Pot To Plate at Durn House
Our Pot to Plate ethos is the heart of our restaurant, with not only our Head Chef Craig looking after the kitchen garden, but also harvesting from it too.
Our menus are inspired by the best local produce from here in Scotland, as well as what we have grown and foraged ourselves. This provides incredibly fresh produce with exciting ingredients.
With our growing beds, pots and polytunnel adjacent to Durn House your dining experience here at Durn House couldn't be fresher, and enables Craig and the team to produce wonderful and diverse seasonal menus all year round.
