Food & Drink

Our food is largely being provided by Planet G Food, a wonderful vegan caterers.  We went to a tasting evening with them in North Berwick in February, and we're in for such a treat!  Plus, Gemma was recently on the show Masterchef Professional and did wonderfully! They are also incredible with allergies, and are working with us to make sure everyone can have an amazing and safe meal. We are getting a variety of cakes and desserts from Rascals Vegan Cafe,  Crumbdidlyumptious and Val's Scottish Tablet.  There will also be a small allergy friendly table thanks to the Heavenly Cake Co to cater for those that need to be sure their desserts are fully free of nuts, gluten, soy, etc.  The bar will be staffed and stocked by Fingask Castle themselves.


This page will be updated once we get full incredients list the caterers, and also when we are able to provide a bar list, and details on dessert, cake and late night nibbles.
