"I believe in simple cooking with great locally sourced fresh ingredients, wherever and whenever possible.

There's no need to be elaborate - merely to recognise and be sympathetic to the wonderful food of our countryside, rivers and oceans, and let it speak for itself.

The following are examples only; menus are planned to meet your individual likes and dislikes, and tailored to utilise what is local, seasonal and fresh." - James

Elemental Water

Virtually everywhere we go in Scotland, the crystal, clear water running through the taps is likely to be healthier than any mineral water bottled miles away – find out more at www.wewanttap.com.

Generally - out and about - clients like to take a bottle of water and we are often asked to buy and replenish single-use plastic bottles. If you would prefer to invest in fabulous reusable bottles, we are happy to organise this on your behalf.

We recommend BPA free, stainless steel range at www.onegreenbottle.com but there are lots more, from basic to designer at Amazon - Water Bottles

Refreshments

If you would like us to source champagne, wine, spirits or soft drinks via our supplier, please just let us know in advance.
