EDINBURGH Food Hall Bonnie & Wild has unveiled a bold new breakfast and brunch offer that promises guests “Scotland’s Biggest Breakfast”.

The exciting offering will see pop-up kitchen The Breakfast Club taking over the venue’s events space, joining four other kitchens that all now offer breakfast and brunch options. 

The Breakfast Club is the latest in a series of new brand and start-ups to get their first footing in Bonnie & Wild, the premium Scottish Food Hall in Edinburgh’s St James Quarter. 

The concept kitchen will be serving up its high quality “Full Scottish Breakfasts” every weekend, alongside the likes of El Perro Negro and Scottish deli Soup & Caboodle who have also brought out new breakfast menus, as well as Stack & Still and Cairngorm Coffee, ticking the box for fans of muffins and buns, pancakes, pastries, teas and coffees.

On the drinks side, Bonnie & Wild’s three bars will be serving guests a selection of smoothies and breakfast mocktails, on top of Bloody Mary’s and Mimosa from 11am.

Colin Campbell, Communications Director at Bonnie & Wild, said: “With seating for almost 400 guests and five kitchens serving up a variety of breakfast and brunch menus for all tastes, we’re confident in saying that Bonnie & Wild’s Food Hall is now home to the country’s biggest breakfast.

“Every weekend, our new pop-up The Breakfast Club will be serving up the Full Scottish, while El Perro Negro, Soup & Caboodle, Stack & Still and Cairngorm Coffee will have their own unique menus containing everything from bowls of superfoods to breakfast muffins to coffees and teas. We’ve also perfected a breakfast drinks menu containing various smoothies, and breakfast mocktails and cocktails.

“Just as in for lunch and dinner, there really is something for everyone at Bonnie & Wild, including vegan and gluten-free options, superfoods and smoothies for the health conscious, quick bites and light pastries, bacon rolls, breakfast muffins, and to top it all, the Full Scottish breakfast, all using ingredients sourced from some of the best suppliers in Scotland.”

Bringing their own Breakfast Club to Bonnie & Wild following a successful launch in Glasgow, El Perro Negro will be offering a selection of breakfast muffins and buns, while Scottish deli Soup & Caboodle will offer guests a range of breakfasts including Scotch porridge and bacon rolls.

Bonnie & Wild’s new breakfast offer comes as Edinburgh prepares for its busy summer season with tens of thousands of visitors streaming into the city and staying at many of the city’s hotels and apartments. 

Colin added: “We’re looking forward to welcoming guests who’re coming to St James Quarter for a spot of early morning shopping, or for the thousands of city visitors keen to start their day with nourishing breakfast in heart of the city centre.”

Bonnie & Wild has fast established itself as one of the city’s leading hospitality venues since it opened two years ago. Following its launch amid the Covid pandemic, the Food Hall has been home to a variety of new brands and start-ups, including Creel Caught by Gary Maclean, Chooks, Leith Woks, Soup & Caboodle and the latest concept, The Breakfast Club.

Colin said: “We love working with start-ups and smaller brands. We love their energy and passion, and we’re proud to support these small businesses to grow by giving them a city centre base and access to the tremendous foot fall by way of the St James Quarter. This latest pop-up follows the launch of the South East Asian street food kitchen Okanda a few weeks ago, and we’ve plans for more food, drink and retail pop-ups further down the line.” 

The Breakfast Club at Bonnie & Wild is open every weekend from 08.30am-11.30am.
