Our absolute passion for food regularly takes us far beyond the confines of the kitchen - to farmyards, fishing boats, and country kitchens alike. Our ethos is to seek out the finest producers, however small; the quality and integrity of the raw ingredients is core to what is presented on your plate, surpassing even the most discerning of expectations.
We know that our live-and-kicking Isle of Skye langoustines are creel-caught and brought in by a day-boat called Equinox, skippered by Craig. Our award-winning chef hand-picks pork from a pig farmer called Robin, and John, the Fife farmer, delightedly shows us his oats locally grown and milled in Cupar. Our Edinburgh Bruntsfield baker, Sean, matches our passion for no-added-nasties in the cakes he lovingly bakes with all-natural ingredients. We take time to get to know the producers personally, and they take equal pride in knowing that their food and drinks are beautifully presented on your plates.
You’d think they’d stop there, but our chefs live for the nth degree, so the bit where food travels from pan to palate gives additional source of inspiration - soup served in shots, sushi on spoons, ice cream on sticks - these are a few of our favourite things!
Innovative and artistic, our award-winning chefs are self-confessed food fanatics, original and heavyweight ‘foodies’ who combine passion and culinary creativity in equal measure.
In short, our team’s involvement in your event at Mansfield Traquair ensures occasion-perfect menus which incur round-the-room guest delight.
We have a Healthyliving Award, which makes it easier for guests to make healthily choices, just look out for the apples on our menus.
