FOOD & DRINK

Private dining from Scotland’s larder

Dining is at the heart of life at Gilmerton House, from long breakfasts in the farmhouse kitchen and relaxed lunches in the garden to candlelit evening meals. Working exclusively with our partners at The Edinburgh Catering Company, meals are built on seasonal, locally sourced Scottish produce and shaped around how you want to spend your time, from freshly cooked breakfasts to relaxed garden barbecues or elegant evening dinners – thoughtful hospitality, rather than a service.
