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,…
Ever since Anteaques in South Clerk Street closed, I’ve rather lamented a good place to have an afternoon tea this side of Edinburgh. Well, that is until now. Following extensive renovations, the Victoria Pub on Causewayside has re-opened as continental gem Damm27 and is serving afternoon tea as well as…
I’ve been banging on about this for ages and it seems finally, someone has listened. While I love an afternoon tea, I always long for one with more savoury options and at last, The Lantern Room at the Marriott has answered my prayers in the form of The Bookcase Afternoon…

The Edinburgh Fringe may have been going for over a week now but The Edinburgh Book Festival (12 – 28 August) actually only starts tomorrow. Why not tingle your taste buds with their afternoon tea events taking place in the Spiegeltent?
So, it’s nearly August and in Edinburgh that means one thing – festival time. It’s already kicking off in George Square Gardens with Assembly Food Festival and next week, the Fringe and International Festival starts in earnest. And then there’s also the Book Festival that starts later this month. It…
