Afternoon Tea at Roman Camp Hotel, Callendar
Whilst Callendar is further afield than the location of most of our reviews, it’s well worth a visit. The lovely wee town, known to foodies for the marvellous Mhor Tearoom and Mhor Fish restaurant, is around an hour from Edinburgh by car. It’s also a great place for gift shopping,…

The big event is fast approaching and here are some simple inspirational present ideas for members of your family and friends who are food lovers.
