“You enabled us to have no worries and feel at ease to enjoy not only the run up to the day but also the day itself. You took on all our crazy ideas and found a way to ensure they slotted into place perfectly. Chef was equally as great... she created an amazing chocolate fondant, there was a sudden silence as the aroma hit the hall! All our guests had a fabulous night and [we] could not have asked for anything better... Thank you!” Harley Wedding
Cafe Hub
“Just a few easy steps downhill from the Castle, the Hub is another of Edinburgh's landmark buildings and a prime destination for coffees and light meals when the sightseeing gets too much. The bright cadmium yellow walls of the ground floor café come as something of a shock after the austere Victorian exterior, but lend the place an informal, welcoming feel that's reflected in the relaxed, affable service. However, the concise, seasonal menu leaves no doubt that this place is serious about its food. A full-flavoured Toulouse sausage and red lentil soup hits the spot with its peppery warmth, while a satisfying grilled polenta slice, chosen from an appetising selection of 'quick bites', is lifted by the sweetness of onion jam and roasted peppers. More substantial main dishes are excellent value, such as well-seasoned fillets of pan-seared sea bream teamed with a delicious combination of garlicky green beans and lightly curried new potatoes. The carefully presented sweets are equally good, especially a vanilla-rich crème brûlée with a base of crushed pistachio nuts and accompanying home-made biscuits." The List Eating & Drinking Guide 2009
“An important part of the Edinburgh Festival Centre, the Hub… includes the excellent café/restaurant which must be offering some of the best value in Edinburgh, coupled with real quality. On the Royal Mile the café… is bright, cheerful, and full of buzz at any time, let alone August. Good also to find a restaurant with a reliable coffee deal struck - how many, when you complain limply tell you it's the franchised brand and that's it.” Restaurant-Guide.com
