THE NAME
What a strange name for a restaurant!
Where did it come from? I'm always asked this question.
When the Restaurant was still in its embryonic stage, the very first property we looked at was an old Turf Accountants office at the lower end of King Street in Castle Douglas. we thought we would keep the Equine connection and call it Ascot. Some prospective business partners of ours at that time suggested the name "Plumed Horse".
We looked at other properties and very soon the business partners left the project, but the name stuck.
We opened in Crossmichael and upon trying to buy the domain name plumedhorse.com, discovered it already existed. (We got plumedhorse.co.uk instead, but you probably already know that!)
As soon as we were online, we received an email from the Plumed Horse Restaurant in Saratoga, California, who were amazed at there being another one, albeit on the other side of the Atlantic.
After several online communications, they knew the couple that suggested the name. It turned out that the couple that suggested the name..... were married there!
If you need to know how they got the name in the first place, follow the link below.
The Plumed Horse in Silicon Valley, Saratoga, California.
We note that congratulations are due to our American counterpart.
They’ve just been awarded their first Michelin Star.
Great news. Well done!
