All-day dining restaurant Scott’s Kitchen finds its home in the heart of Edinburgh Old Town, where it serves everything from breakfast to lunch, dinner, coffee and cocktails from dawn until dusk. If you’re planning on hosting a private dining event in this historic part of town, then Scott’s Kitchen is able to host groups of up to 34 people seated (or 55 standing) in its stylish and relaxed dining room.
The best bit about hiring Scott’s Kitchen for private dining is that there is no hire fee. All you have to do is hit the minimum spend and the room is yours for the day or evening. The experienced events team will help you create the perfect menu, with both set and bespoke options to choose from, while drinks are treated with the same attention as the food.
Its unique location in Edinburgh is another unique selling point. The venue boasts a sweeping south facing terrace with views overlooking Victoria Street, so if you’d like to include an alfresco element to your event, you can.
Menus are highly seasonal and change all the time, but an example of a three-course meal you might expect to try, includes Cullen Skink to start, with smoked haddock, leeks, potatoes and cream, followed by hearty mains like casserole of the day or roast Scottish chicken with caramelised cauliflower, pickled fennel and potatoes. To finish, think sticky toffee pudding or chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. All its menus are designed to celebrate and reflect Scotland’s natural larder, and the team works with a trusted selection of suppliers to deliver the best quality produce it possibly can.
Scott’s Kitchen offers a varied and reasonably priced selection of wine and sparkling, as well as port, craft beers, cider, spirits and cocktails. The team can even help you organise a whisky sampling if you wish, perfect for pairing with some of its traditional Scottish dishes.
