About The Snug
8 Seated
Polished wood catches afternoon light through tall windows in The Snug, where Victorian readers once settled with their books. Now this former reading room hosts private dinners and board meetings for up to eight people, gathered around our antique table beneath the original decorated ceiling that's watched over conversations since the 1800s. We've kept the room's character intact, from the rich wooden panelling that lines every wall to the period details overhead. A striking stag sculpture stands guard over proceedings, while carefully chosen artwork adds contemporary touches without disturbing the historical atmosphere. Those plush, tufted chairs have cradled everyone from company directors planning their next move to families celebrating milestone birthdays over long, leisurely meals. The Snug works particularly well for dinners where conversation matters as much as the food. Our kitchen creates bespoke menus drawing on Scottish suppliers, with dishes that change through the seasons. We've served everything from working lunches with locally sourced seafood to evening tastings paired with single malts from nearby distilleries. The intimate scale means service feels personal rather than intrusive, with our team reading the room's mood and adapting accordingly. Natural light transforms the space throughout the day, morning brightness giving way to the warm glow of evening. For business gatherings, the room's acoustic properties keep discussions private while the historic surroundings add gravitas to decision-making. Social occasions take on their own character here, the Victorian bones of the space lending weight to toasts and celebrations. From our West End location, Princes Street sits just minutes away on foot, with tram stops and bus routes nearby making access straightforward for guests arriving from across Edinburgh. The Snug offers something increasingly rare: a genuinely private space where eight people can meet, eat, and plan without interruption.
