Steeped in stories and seasoned by centuries, The Globe Inn has been the soul of Dumfries hospitality since 1610. While our walls have echoed with the laughter of poets and travellers for generations, there is one corner where the true magic of the Inn was born: Mrs Hyslop’s Kitchen.
Once the bustling engine room of the Inn, this space was where Mrs Hyslop—and the many dedicated cooks before and after her—crafted the hearty meals that sustained weary travellers and inspired local legends.

Reserve Your Place at the Table
Because of the intimate nature of the Kitchen, this space is highly sought after and is offered subject to availability at the time of booking.
Whether you are hosting a connoisseur’s dinner or looking for a quiet escape to enjoy our most prestigious menu, Mrs Hyslop’s Kitchen provides a backdrop unlike any other in Scotland.
“There is no hospitality like the hospitality of the past, and no flavour like a meal shared in the room where it all began.”
