We're excited to have opened at our new venue: the Garden Café, 1745 Cottage Traquair

We serve a seasonal menu of daily soups, quiches, sandwiches and cakes. Plus delicious Red Stag Coffee and a selection of wines, as well as beers from Traquair Brewery.

Our aim is to be part of the shift towards a more sustainable society in the interest of our environment and resources. This means we will always source locally and opt out of single-use plastic whenever possible.

These practices are verified and in alignment with the guidelines of Zero Waste Scotland, so we can all feel good about the food at the Garden Café.

Recreating holiday treats #bosnianbaclava #naughtybutnicethings

When you’re casually melting sugar, making caramel for wedding canapés, and this happens 🧡

Autumn means Great British Bake Off, which means technical challenges. So here it is, week 2 - Le Gateau Vert! And it’s delicious, say the spoon lickers! 🧡

Nothing says summer quite like a big old strawberry tart! 🧡

Love our coffee! Love our new sign! Love this summer! #espresso #icedcoffee #affagato #glenlyon

Friands with faces today! Less so after a light icing sugar dusting 🙂

Spring 2016 – Autumn 2017 saw us taking over the café tender in the stunning Kailzie Gardens, Peebles.

In August 2015 we served from the beautiful and bustling location that is Assembly Gardens in George Square as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

We sold open-top sandwiches, homemade savoury pastries and made-to-order juices and fresh teas.

We pride ourselves on a completely personal, one to one service, meaning clients needs are precisely met and the result is a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable event.

Source the best produce, prepare and present it lovingly.

Simple is almost always best but we do like to play a little too and enjoy being creative and individual in our presentation and menu selections.

Scotland has some of the finest produce in the world and we love to work with fish and game, which we source locally, and pride ourselves on using seasonal fruit and vegetables as much as possible.

Menu selection is central to every event we deliver and we will provide a range of costed options when we have spoken to clients or received an initial briefing.

There is no more richly diverse or exciting place to host events than Scotland. From fairy tale castles to antique fishing huts, shabby chic country houses to grand, fin de siecle ballrooms and every style of hotel you can imagine.

We enjoy nothing more than introducing clients to their perfect location and helping to design the perfect day, evening or weekend experience.
