Erringtons Barn Ltd
Spend quality off-lead time with your dog at Erringtons Barn’s private garden room near Biggar. Enjoy fresh farm-baked food and roam 80 acres of inviting Scottish woodland.
Erringtons Barn Ltd, based in Carnwath, Scotland, operates Errington Cheese and a farm-based hospitality program that combines hands-on food experiences with farm-to-table dining.
The business offers a range of immersive activities: Pasta Making and Lunch, a full-day Cheese Making Experience, guided Cheese Tasting & Farm Tours, seasonal Supper Club events curated by Chef Ed Murray, and Maggie's Dog Run & Garden Room with an off-lead dog area and access to 80 acres of woodland.
Each experience is led by experienced practitioners: skilled chefs guide the pasta workshops and lunch, a master cheesemaker leads cheesemaking and tasting sessions, and Chef Ed Murray creates seasonal supper club menus using local ingredients and the farm’s award-winning cheeses. Visitors meet farm animals, tour production areas, and learn sustainable farming and cheesemaking practices grounded in local seasons.
Activities are designed for hands-on learning and tasting. In the cheese-making day guests follow the process from milk to finished cheese, while cheese tastings pair varietals with seasonal accompaniments. The pasta experience emphasizes seasonal ingredients and a farm-to-table meal featuring participants’ own creations. The garden room offers relaxed breakfasts, lunches, coffee, cake, and access to woodland walks and fresh-baked breads, meats, and cheeses.
Sessions welcome beginners and experienced visitors, offer take-home samples, practical notes, and flexible booking options for small groups, private events, and corporate retreats.
Erringtons Barn Ltd emphasizes sustainable practices, local supply chains, and small-group, intimate settings that connect visitors with food origins. By combining expert-led instruction, award-winning products, and direct farm access, the business provides credible, educational, and memorable culinary experiences in South Lanarkshire.
