Please note that due to the unique location, the Castle Gatehouse is accessed via a narrow spiral staircase which may cause challenges for those with mobility issues. If you have any concerns or questions regarding accessibility, please contact us at hospitality@edintattoo.co.uk
Please note, The Royal Gallery dress code is Dress Uniform, National Dress, Evening Dress, or Business Attire. Jeans, short trousers, and sport shoes are not permitted. Our dress code reflects the VIP status of The Royal Gallery that regularly plays host to guests including British Royalty, foreign Heads of State, and senior politicians, and military personnel. Whilst the Royal Gallery is under cover, it is open to the front, so we ask that you bring a warm layer should the evening be a chilly one, which has been known in Scotland, even in August! Tartan blankets are provided.
This is a mixed dining experience and guests will be seated at shared tables for dinner.
Please note the menu provided is a sample menu and is subject to change.
