About Red Bus Bistro - Edinburgh
Picture yourself climbing aboard our restored 1966 Routemaster bus at St Andrew Square, ready for something completely different. We've transformed this vintage London double-decker into a moving restaurant that winds through Edinburgh's historic streets while you dine. Red Bus Bistro isn't just transport with food - it's a proper Scottish culinary adventure on wheels. Our kitchen team prepares everything fresh onboard as we roll past Edinburgh Castle, down the Royal Mile, and around Holyrood Palace. During our 90-minute journeys, we serve traditional afternoon tea with warm scones, fresh whipped cream and jam, alongside finger sandwiches, mini quiches, and an array of petit fours and cakes. You can pair your meal with unlimited tea and coffee, a glass of fizz, or try our signature gin cocktails served in vintage teapots - a quirky touch our guests love. We run tours Tuesday through Sunday at 12pm and 3pm, with space for up to 35 guests when you book the entire bus. Our fully licensed bar stocks an impressive selection of Scottish malt whiskies and chilled bubbly, all served while you watch the city glide by through our panoramic windows. For private celebrations and corporate gatherings, we offer exclusive hire with customized menus. Our onboard kitchen means everything arrives at your table piping hot, even as we navigate Edinburgh's cobbled streets. The combination of movement, views, and dining creates an atmosphere you won't find in any stationary venue. Whether you're planning a birthday party, team celebration, or simply want to experience Edinburgh differently, our vintage bus provides the perfect backdrop. We source all ingredients from local Scottish suppliers, keeping our menu authentic to the region while adding our own creative touches to classic dishes.
