ur
neighbours who give people directions to us!
ur
wonderful suppliers especially those who trap the local food before
it finds its way out of the country so we keep the best for our customers
- AA beef, lobsters, loganberries, grouse, scallops. We buy everything
locally - suppliers come to us - sole, halibut, turbot and monk landed
at Pittenweem, lobsters from Anstruther, scallops and mussels specially
brought from the west coast.
rance
- we are in love with it - and go every November to eat, drink and be
inspired.

Duncan, a local farmer, who is a great 'shot' - keeps us supplied with
pigeon, partridge, wild duck, and even roe deer, woodcock and teal.
ur
network of friends is enviable. The rich soil of NE Fife has spawned
a canny flush of smallholders who have been marshalled into fulfilling
most of our demands for fresh vegetables, salad leaves and soft fruit.
The ace in our pack is the academic gentlemen with an unusual nose for
truffles!
ur
staff - they are almost our family and this bond will ensure the longevity
of Peat Inn.
ur
special affinity/bond with Georges Blanc at Vonnas in France, a French
chef who has inspired us and after whom we named our cat 'Georges'.
(There are unconscious echoes of Blanc in the high backed chairs, tapestries
and beams at the Peat Inn)
nd
most of all - our customers.

David does often very simply yet stunningly effectively, with all these
wonderful 'ingredients', raises the whole experience to a higher plane.

While he's a self confessed Francophile, it is very much
a French influence in the 'doing of his own thing' - he couldn't find
the same inspiration in England - his great strength is in single minded
use of wonderful Scottish supplies.
