As part of our Food for Thought project the P1-3’s visited the James Duncan Café at Benmore Gardens to sample local produce and learn about sources of food and food journeys.
We received a warm welcome from all the staff who treated us to a delicious 3 course banquet of locally sourced dishes, including Loch Fyne Smoked Salmon and Braddan Rost with Black’s of Dunoon Oatcakes, Winston Churchill Venison Casserole and Burgers and Isle of Arran Ice-Cream with samples of home-baking from the café.

The children were asked to describe their favourite part of the meal, here are some of their comments…Lilly liked the salmon and burgers, Kasey was very adventurous and enjoyed the venison casserole, Lewis liked the oatcakes and Harry said ‘ it was the best day of my life’, and the school staff who were lucky enough to accompany the class agreed!

We would like to say a huge thank-you to all the staff at the James Duncan Café for their generous hospitality and top class food.
