The Allotment

The Allotment The Allotment opened in 2011. Run by Hazel & Susan, their aim is to provide fresh, seasonal fruit a

As a well-known part of Innerleithen, we are proud of providing healthy, fresh produce to our local customers, many of whom we now consider as friends. We try to stock as much locally grown produce as possible and are always on the lookout for new suppliers to extend the range of food we have in store. Please feel free to request an item you particularly enjoy but have been unable to find, we are

usually able to source a surprising array of products. We always adapt to the seasons and can advise you on what is best to try and when. So whether it’s mushrooms in autumn or spring greens, your kitchen table will always be full of perfect fruit and veg. As members of the community, we try very hard to provide outstanding service. We're always keen to tell you about our products, or just have a chat. We really believe we offer an appealing atmosphere and the kind of service you've been missing. All our produce is regularly sourced from the market in Newcastle, where we go to choose the freshest and best fruit and vegetables to pass on to our customers. Local growers are bringing their surplus vegetables to us to sell, which is fantastic!

Our “Meet The Maker” event with Andy from Braw Sauces is in full flow! Bottles are flying off the shelves and it’s been a great opportunity to try something new and exciting.
This isn’t just “hot sauces” - there’s fruity, herby, mild, hot, and so much depth of flavour it’s unreal.

Andy will be here until midday and stocks are starting to run low so if you’re tempted to pop by you’ve got about an hour left :)

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Thank you for bearing with us whilst we took today off to recharge.

We’ll be back open as normal tomorrow - and if you’re debating something to make - how about a wee trip to India?
This is a play on the dish “Aloo jeera” from north India - which usually uses boiled potatoes tossed in spices.
In this case we boiled some baby potatoes, crushed and roasted them until crispy, and then tossed them in garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric and garam masala before wilting in some spinach right at the end.

Morning everyone!

We’ll be opening shortly for Saturday morning’s normal hours and hope to see you soon.

Just a wee heads up that we’ve got a really busy Sunday with some upcoming supplier visits so we’ve made the decision to be CLOSED on Monday 31st.

Just for the one day whilst we catch up from everything - back to normal on Tuesday - but for any extra provisions you might want to collect; today will be the day.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused and look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday as normal.
