Embracing the beauty of our surrounding area.
At The Garden Bistro we are embracing the beauty of our surrounding area. Saughton Park is one of Edinburgh’s hidden gems. Covering 34 acres the park encompasses the largest skate park in Scotland, playing fields, athletic tracks, children’s play parks amongst other public amenities.
The walled garden is full of beautiful hedges, flowers, trees, herbs, fruits and vegetables. From the Italian Garden to the Physic Garden the park is awash with natural beauty and is home to the only cast iron bandstand in Edinburgh which has recently been refurbished - an idyllic venue for small weddings.
In 2019 the park benefitted from £8 million of investment.
In 2019 Saughton Park underwent a massive transformation and has benefitted from around £8 million of investment. In addition to the financial investment, local community groups such as The Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society & The Friends of Saughton Park have been key in the regeneration of the area.

“We were planning a team day for 45 people, after many months of zoom and little face to face contact. Saughton Park was the perfect setting for this, a beautiful and uplifting garden space with flexible outdoor settings for us to gather in. The Garden Bistro delivered an outstanding service for our BBQ, meeting with us to plan our day, bespoking our menu, handling all dietary requirements with minimum fuss, and serving up a delicious, healthy, environmentally sound lunch. It really was first class. Rab and Chris and their team were on hand, providing solutions all day long. The event concluded with a mobile bar, chilled wine, G&Ts and quality lager and ale. This was a day to remember, enjoyed by all, and of huge benefit to our team. Thank you Garden Bistro!”
We have 60 seats inside the Bistro, with a further 60 seats outside.
A service window facing into the courtyard where a ‘grab and go’ menu is available with a selection of hot and cold drinks along with snacks, breakfast rolls, fresh soups, handmade pies and much more which can be purchased to be enjoyed within the park.
The Bistro itself offers a more comprehensive menu with seasonality, and local produce at the heart of it's dishes.
