SURGEONS Quarter, which operates the city’s largest independent hotel alongside a host of venues and outlets owned by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd), is marking the easing of lockdown with the opening of its new outdoor venue – Drinks & Dining Al Fresco.
Drinks & Dining Al Fresco is located in a spacious and attractive courtyard on Nicolson Street in the heart of the old town, and provides a safe and socially distanced environment for guests to enjoy food and drinks – including Surgeon Quarter 1505 Gin.
The clear-roofed open marquee which covers the courtyard accommodates up to 80 guests and has the added advantage of providing protection from the unpredictable Scottish weather.
Scott Mitchell, Surgeons Quarter managing director, said: “It is great news that we will be able to reopen for food and drinks outside in the coming weeks after what feels like a very long four months since closing our doors.”
Surgeons Quarter’s Ten Hill Place Hotel provided 2,100 free room nights to NHS staff working in Edinburgh’s hospitals between March-May last year.
All profits support the charitable aims of the College which are education, assessment and advancement in surgical standards worldwide.
