Getting started
Fresh coffee, tea and home baking
We understand the importance of a great cup of coffee during a busy event day. Stay refreshed with freshly brewed Colombian Fair Trade coffee and a wide selection of teas available throughout the venue, thanks to our partnership with The Edinburgh Tea and Coffee Company.
Pair your drink with a delicious slice of fresh home baking, prepared by our kitchen team. From warm brownies to sweet treats, these are perfect for a morning break or as a post-lunch dessert. Served fresh and ready to enjoy, it’s the ideal way for delegates to recharge and catch up with colleagues.
Freshly Prepared Lunches
Buffet options for every event
Whether you’re hosting a small meeting or a large conference, our flexible buffet options provide something for every group.
House Buffet: A selection of meat and vegetarian sandwiches, wraps and hot items. Includes salad in summer or soup in winter.
Soup & Sandwich Buffet: A simple, budget-friendly option for a lighter lunch.
Working Sandwich Lunch: Perfect for smaller groups who prefer to eat while they work.

The REstaurant
A more relaxed lunch experience
For something a little more special, delegates can enjoy a three-course lunch in our restaurant, prepared by our on-site catering team.
Menus are shared in the morning so guests can choose their preferred dish, with options ranging from light seasonal meals to traditional favourites. And of course, no meal would be complete without a selection of delicious desserts.
