Our Ethos
Food that nourishes properly
Our approach to food starts with nourishment. We believe meals should be cooked from scratch, using good ingredients, without shortcuts. Nutrition and enjoyment are not separate things. Food should sustain you and give pleasure.
Working with land and season
Local sourcing sits at the centre of what we do. We work with farmers, growers and producers we know, and we grow some of our own food. Seasonality shapes our menus and keeps our cooking connected to place.
We care deeply about regeneration, but we talk about it in practical terms. Shorter food miles. Improving soil health. Supporting biodiversity. Keeping locally grown food within the local community.
A resilient local food system
By building long-term relationships with suppliers and customers, we aim to strengthen the local food system. One that is rooted, resilient and based on trust rather than scale.
We buy ingredients with intention. Making choices that supports our local Moray Food system. We buy nearly 80% of all our fresh ingredients from within 60 miles of IV36. This means you are supporting local everytime you eat with us.

Proper Ingredients
We obsess over quality, delicious and seasonal ingredients. When we say proper we mean provenance too; Pasture for Life, Grass-Fed Meat, Organic Ingredients that are nutritious and quality. Everything made from scratch in our kitchen too.
Better Biodiversity
We've worked in the food system for over 30 years, we are passionate about quality food but food systems aren't only about the food. We make sure that our kitchen garden is also supporting the biodiverse life our food system relies on too.
