Today we have some wonderful offers to help with your Christmas shopping, it’s kind of what we do! A wise person once said a cup of tea is an excuse to share great thoughts with great minds, something that we could not possible agree more with. So much so that we offer seven separate Afternoon Tea offers on our website at some fantastic venues across Scotland!

Afternoon Tea for Two!

Who doesn’t love a good Afternoon Tea? Hand cut sandwiches, freshly baked scones and a selection of teas, afternoons don’t get much better than that. Unless you throw in some bubbles of course!

The Doll’s House in St. Andrews, specialising in hearty ‘good mood food’, The Doll’s House offers a diverse range of quality offers from weekend brunch to value market menu dining.

The Christmas Gift countdown continues! With only nine days left until Christmas Day, it can be safely said that everyone is getting into the festive swing of things. All the Christmas buzz and time spent with loved ones has got us feeling the love, and we want to share it!

Overnight stay for two at The Palm Court Hotel

The Palm Court Hotel is a charming boutique hotel situated in the West End of Aberdeen, and the perfect gift for those looking to enjoy a relaxing getaway from it all. The hotel bar is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike and the renowned Bothy Restaurant which specialises in traditional Scottish cuisine is a firm favourite!

The Food Challenge Is On!

December 14, 2015Dining, Experiences, Gifts For 2, Under £25Cameron McLaughlin

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me…a food feast on a plank?

The Man Plank Package at The Three Sisters

Nothing helps build that wonderful bond between friends, than getting together and working as a team to absolutely demolish an entire wooden plank of glorious food!

That’s right our top gift for today is the man plank at The Three Sisters, Edinburgh. Imagine the biggest foodie feast possible served up on a huge wooden plank the size of a table. Don’t let the name put you off, the plank is perfect for all of those friends that love a foodie challenge.

This really is the mother of all food planks and features burgers, nachos, chicken wings, racks of ribs, samosas, pakora and more all topped off with two pint steins of beer for everyone. It’s available for all of those that can handle the feast.

The man plank is available at The Three Sisters, considered one of Edinburgh’s liveliest and most fun venues! This is where you’ll find everything from great food and an amazing drinks selection to live music and HD big screens with all the sports under the sun shown live. They also have a massive outdoor courtyard space, which plays host to some very ‘unique’ Three Sisters entertainment.

Get down to The Three Sisters in December and you’ll get to enjoy Cowgate Christmas, an alternative festive market with hot mulled drinks, tasty sweat treats, gourmet food and lots of live entertainment. The highlight has got to be the Drag Queen Mariah’s performing Christmas classics every Friday and Saturday night.
