Our Kashrus Policy

Our restaurant is under the CONSTANT PERSONAL supervision of Rabbi & Mrs Chaim Jacobs of Lubavitch the Rebbe's personal Shluchim in Scotland for 44 years, and the West of Scotland Kashrus authority. The standard of our restaurant is the same as the kashrus standard in our own home. Boruch Hashem we NEVER compromise in our Kashrus Standards. We urge you to keep Kashrut of the highest standard where ever you may be.

A Full Time Mashgiach- (Rabbi Chaim or Mrs Sora Jacobs) are always in attendance and present when our kitchen is opened to check all the things listed below.

Our Kitchens are only open when the Mashgiach is in attendance to light all ovens and cookers and check all items listed below are in order. At no time are the kitchens left un-attended.

All Packets of Meat and Chicken are always opened when the Mashgiach is present

All Fish used always has some skin attached to it and is examined to make sure it has some scales on the fish.

Any mince fish used is minced under supervision too.

The Mashgiach is ALWAYS AWARE 100% of all food cooked that day and all ingredients that are used. We personally order and buy ALL food products.

Each day on arrival of the Mashgiach all products that will be used for cooking that day are checked out properly for kashrus, insects, Terumois and Maaserois, and Shmitta where applicable. 

Special care is taken at all times regarding Bishul Yisroel (and Bishul Akum). This applies to Ovens, Cookers, Microwaves and Fryers. All are always turned on ONLY by people who are Shomer Shabbos.

All vegetables requiring 'Bedika' are washed and checked thoroughly ONLY by the Mashgiach.

All fruits, salads, vegetables and herbs are ALWAYS examined for insects by the Mashgiach. We do not use raspberries at any time.

Terumois and Maaserois are taken from all products of Israel at all times.

Each manufactured product is individually checked out to make sure it is kosher and approved.

We keep ALL the laws of Shmitta. Special care is taken to make sure all produce is Shmitta free.

Special care is taken to make sure that no fruit or vegetable item is used from Eretz Yisroel if it is Shemitta produce.
