Discover Seasonal Flavours Rooted in the Land at Errington's Barn
OUR FOOD
At Errington’s Barn we offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as irresistible home-made cakes and locally-roasted coffee. If you don’t have time to linger, many of our dishes can be prepared to go. Our menu brings together the best of local ingredients, from our whey-fed pork and farmhouse cheeses to Hillhead eggs and East Lothian flour.
LUNCH
Enjoy dishes like our pork and apple burger, our brand new pinsa romanas or the classic ham,eggs and chips. Our all-day boards feature our own award-winning cheese and whey-fed pork. The wine list includes selections from small-scale vineyards, chosen to complement the flavours of our food.
farm shop
Our farm shop is stocked with our award-winning farmhouse cheeses, guest selections, locally-made produce—honey, chutney, oatcakes, shortbread—and so much more. You’ll also find pork and bacon from our own pigs, prepared in our on-site butchery, offering a true taste of the farm.
DINNER
The Barn is open on Friday and Saturday evenings for dinner.
The menu is built around what we produce on the farm — our farmhouse cheeses, lamb and pork raised here — alongside vegetables and ingredients from nearby producers.
There is no formal wine list. You can choose a bottle from the shop and bring it to the table, from a selection of organic and natural wines, along with non-alcoholic options.
Bookings are taken from 5pm to 7.45pm.
for dog-walkers, day-trippers & anyone passing through.
Open Friday to Monday from 11am–2pm, the Takeaway Shed offers hot drinks, rolls, home baking and more — all made with great local ingredients. Think free-range pork from our own herds, farmhouse cheeses, Hillhead of Covington milk, and Taylor’s of Biggar ice cream. Ideal for a quick stop, a coffee-and-walk, or something delicious to enjoy at an outdoor table — or inside the cosy Larch Room on colder days.
Pop by for a coffee, stay for a nourishing lunch, and explore all that Errington’s Barn has to offer.

about us
Errington’s Barn, owned by Selina and Andrew Cairns, opened in 2024 as part of their family farm in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. The Barn is a true family affair: Andrew’s mum Carolyn bakes the cakes, and his sister Angela is head cheesemaker.
Errington Cheese, founded in 1985 by Selina’s father, Humphrey Errington, has been producing award-winning farmhouse cheeses for nearly 40 years. From the pioneering Lanark Blue, made with ewe’s milk, to the celebrated Blackmount goat’s milk and Corra Linn ewe’s milk cheeses (both World Cheese Awards ‘Super Gold’), Errington Cheese has earned a place on the menus of top chefs and in the country’s finest delis and farm shops.
Today, Selina and Andrew are proud to share their passion for sustainable farming, cheesemaking, and local food with visitors to the Errington’s Barn. They believe the Barn offers a space where customers can connect with the land, the food, and the people behind it, forging lasting relationships that go beyond the plate.
