Award Winning Handmade Loch Leven tablet in Stock


In stock now - our Bars, Bags and Boxes of our Handmade Loch Leven Tablet.

The tablet has just won a Guild of Fine Foods, Double Gold Star Award for our Original Tablet.

This is the first time we entered the awards and were delighted to achieve the Double Gold Standard. Over 7,500 entries were judged and only 600 gourmet products were awarded Gold Standard.

Why call it Loch Leven Tablet?........Well Loch Leven isn't Loch Leven in Fife, it's Loch Leven in the Highlands, where Donnie originally hails from. Loch Leven Tablet started there and now the business had evolved and developed and become part of Barnton Fine Foods in Edinburgh.

One of the comments from the Judges: A gorgeously buttery tablet with all the right flavour and texture elements in the right places!

Fabulous Organic Eggs from the Highlands


Always insist on the best when it comes to your eggs!!!

We recommend and stock Macleod Organics Free Range, organically fed Chicken's Eggs

They have a friendly brood of hens at Macleod Organics who have the run of a big field, and three roomy hen-houses to roost and lay their eggs in. Eggs are available to buy by the half dozen.

The chickens are provided with shell grit to help their egg shells harden, they're organically fed, are free from antibiotics, and they have plenty of fresh drinking water.

Donnie delivers the Eggs to us on a fortnightly basis when he is down in Edinburgh. As well as delivering in Edinburgh he also swaps Organic produce between the Highlands and the central belt so that nothing goes to waste!

The eggs have the most amazing yellow yolks and once you try them you will be hooked.

Pop in to Barnton Fine Foods, 199 Whitehouse Road, Edinburgh, EH4 6BU to try them!!

Jam's and Chutneys from Dalchonzie Fruit Farm



We are delighted to supply the most wonderful Jams and Chutneys from Dalchonzie Fruit Farm who are based just outside Comrie in Perthshire.

Dalchonzie began growing fruit in 1989. Over many summers the have refined their techniques to produce fruit full of natural flavour and goodness, with minimal intervention.

In the beginning they supplied Marks and Spencers' amongst others. But, rather than go big they decided to stay small and concentrate on the things that are important to them: quality and integrity.

Barbara always made preserves for the farm kitchen larder, so it was only natural to put a few jars on the table by the farm gate. Praise for her work was quickly forthcoming and with David running the farm Barbara took time to explore her ideas in more detail. Dalchonzie Farm Shop was born.

We stock many of the following:
