Our
Premises: The Roundhouse
Our historic agricultural building that we
have converted into spacious modern facilities
for TFC Food Services. We have a bright open
office, a new product development kitchen
and a training room.
Our premises are sited in what was an octagonal,
open-sided barn known in the Scottish Borders
as a 'round house', or 'gin-gang'. The eighteenth
century building housed a horse engine, driven
by four horses walking round a central spindle,
each harnessed to a shaft. The power created
was probably used to drive a threshing machine
in the building behind. The roundhouse probably
dates from around 1750- 1840.
