Our Gardens
Produce is carefully selected from the finest local artisan producers and our own gardens and polytunnels. Heather Restaurants menu changes regularly depending on the availability of local meats, seafood and vegetables bursting with flavour and freshness. The building is nestled amongst beautiful landscaped gardens, where customers can learn about the flora, fauna, history & geology of the surrounding area through our detailed information boards.
Heather Restaurant opened In 2014, because of the Moriarty’s passion and love of food, they wanted to bring something different to the area. Today the shop and restaurant very much remains a family business. Margaret Moriarty is still involved in its day to day running, as is daughter Mary Anne.
