Please note that on our Terrace our largest tables can seat up to 6 so if your group is larger than this please contact us directly to discuss.  The majority of the Terrace is covered, but if you are concerned about wet weather then we advise getting in touch as we cannot guarantee a table indoors if it is raining. If, for any reason, you need to cancel or amend your reservation then call us directly on 0131 225 4465.
