Trigony Country House Hotel: All Ingredients are sourced locally and the produce we use is free range & organic whenever possible. From Summer through the Autumn our small Walled garden supplies us with fresh vegetables and fruit.
Guardian Review :-
"everything on the menu is home-made, from the aromatically irresistible bread to the deliciously combined honey and whisky ice cream."
Surrounding area:
Our Country House Hotel is at the heart of Dumfries & Galloway in south west Scotland in the beautiful rolling countryside of Nithsdale, steeped in history both natural & physical.
The River Nith runs through the heart of the valley with the Southern Uplands to the north & the dramatic Solway Coast to the south. It is a place of quiet country roads ideal for exploring on foot or by bicycle.
Additional notes:
At Trigony we take great care in sourcing our ingredients, we are very lucky that Dumfries and Galloway has a rich and varied farming community.
We are surrounded at the Hotel by an organic dairy and all the hotels milk is organic. Within ten miles of the Hotel we have hill farms with superb quality lamb and lowland Galloway Cattle similar to Aberdeen Angus.
Our Butcher ?Houston?s of Dumfries? supplies us with award winning black pudding and the best local beef & lamb. Our Haggis comes a little further; though we think it is well worth the travel from the award winning Cockburns of Dingwall on The Black Isle in Invernesshire. The pork and traditional Ayrshire cure bacon and sausages come from Ramsey?s of Carluke in the Borders.
Dumfriesshire has such a wonderful natural larder, which means that wild roe venison, wood pigeon and partridge are all available locally in season.
Just a short drive to the south the Solway coast still supports a thriving fishing community so that fresh Solway Scallops and sea bass are nearly always in abundance, weather permitting.
All this adds up to a wonderful choice of local food, with a few far flung additions like our free range rare breed ?Label Anglais? Chickens that come from England weekly, we have used them for years and think their flavour is wonderful, they take nearly twice as long to mature as the average organic chicken! We are also proud of the Organic Shetland Salmon we have sourced which although farmed has a delicious taste and texture quite different to the usual farmed salmon.
We try to grow as much organic fruit and veg as we can ourselves in our recently restored small walled garden.
