About the restaurant

    SAMPLE DRINKS MENU

  • MENU

    As always, our menu evolves throughout the seasons reflecting our farm produce. All dietary requirements will be looked after but please let us know when placing your reservation.

    Owing to the style of the menu, our evenings are not particularly child friendly. We do not offer a children’s menu.

    PAYMENTS

    The dinners operate on a ‘pay-what-you-think-its-worth’ model meaning that you book your reservation now and you pay what you think your evening was worth as you depart. As a guide we have found that over the past couple of years the average payment has been £50-60 per head on top of the reservation fee. This excludes drinks. If you have any other questions then please speak to one of our team.

    Owing to high-demand for bookings, we kindly ask you to pay a reservation fee to secure your booking. Cancellation with at least seven days notice will receive a full refund of the reservation fee. Cancellations/no-shows within 24 hours of your booking will be subject to a £25 charge per head on top of your reservation fee.

    TRAVEL

    For anyone planning on travelling to our dinners by public transport from Edinburgh, we are very accessible and as always, we offer our free shuttle service to take you to and from the bus stop. We provide more information to our guests about this once they have booked.

    DOGS

    We have a no-dog policy for our evening service.

  • MENU

    We serve a seasonal three-course set menu with a selection of optional side dishes.

    Children are welcome and we offer a children’s menu at a reduced price.

    PAYMENTS

    Three-course set menu at £35 per person.

    We do not charge a reservation fee for the Sunday Sessions. Cancellations/no-shows within 24 hours of your booking will be subject to a £25 charge per head. We will hold your table for 15 minutes from your reservation time. After this it will be considered a no-show.

    DOGS

    Well behaved dogs are welcome to join for the Sunday Sessions. Please ensure they are kept on a lead when walking around the farm.

  • We run a licensed bar accepting cash and card. Our purposely developed menu has been carefully curated to pair well with our food. We exclusively stock a selection of natural-organic wines, local beers and seasonal cocktails as well as non-alcoholic drinks. We do not allow BYOB.

  • For bookings of more than eight people, please email restaurant@the-free-company.com
