Ten Edinburgh and Glasgow restaurants have launched new kids’ menus for the summer holidays in aid of local children’s hospital charities. 

Edinburgh’s Badger & Co, McLarens on the Corner and Cold Town House; as well as Glasgow’s Church on the Hill and Smokin Fox are amongst the top family-friendly venues offering ‘little foodies’ the star treatment with an enhanced selection of tasty new meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner; as well as new activity packs and a chef’s hat to wear. 

Leading Scottish hospitality group, Signature, which owns and operates all ten venues is donating a combined total of £4,000 to both Edinburgh and Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity from its new kids’ menus over the summer. 

Tasty new dishes on the kids’ menu at Badger & Co this summer include steak stew, mac and cheese, and cheeseburgers.  Highlights of the new kids’ menu at McLarens on the Corner include bangers and mash, and fish and chips. 

Cold Town House is taking its new kids’ menu to new heights on its Castle-view rooftop terrace with child-sized portions of the most popular dishes from the adult menu, including chargrilled flat iron steak, crispy chicken caesar salad and sticky toffee pudding. Kids’ pizzas, chicken nuggets and ice cream sundaes are also up for grabs. 

All younger guests will also receive complimentary crudites and dips on arrival to help keep them busy, as well as unlimited complimentary draught soft drinks.

The new kids’ activity packs across all Signature venues now include ‘Play in Choc’ boxes containing collectable 3D puzzle toys; animal fun facts cards; and vegan, organic and allergy-free chocolate treats. 

Tom Adlam, Head of Food for Signature Group, said:

“This summer, we’re extremely proud to be supporting Edinburgh and Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity with our new kids’ menu being launched at a range of family-friendly venues in both cities. 

“With a range of Edinburgh and Glasgow restaurants to choose from, all our ‘little foodies’ can enjoy an enhanced choice of tasty new meals, unlimited free soft drinks on draught, as well as special activity packs and a chef’s hat to wear.”

Louise MacLean, Business Development Director for Signature Group, added:

“When the Chancellor announced the VAT savings on kids’ meals this summer, we thought this was a great opportunity to enhance our kids’ meals and menus, whilst using the potential savings to donate to a local charity. 

“With this in mind, we’re donating a combined grand total of £4,000 to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.”

The new kids’ menus available at Signature venues in Edinburgh and Glasgow are available for children up to 14 years until the end of the summer. Kids’ Sunday roasts with Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings are also available at selected venues. 

Edinburgh’s Badger & Co, McLarens on the Corner and Cold Town House; as well as Glasgow’s Church on the Hill and Smokin Fox are owned and operated by Signature Group, a leading Scottish hospitality company made up of over 20 bars, restaurants, hotels and a brewery.
