Hostel Catering

...our 'Give us a Break' program allows us to help those in our society that would otherwise not have the opportunity to explore or interact with our beautiful countryside...

While all of our hostels have self-catering facilities, a number also offer a catering service for groups or individual customers.

Café's
Pop in for a cafe at Edinburgh CentralOur new Café's are within our Carbisdale, Edinburgh and Glasgow hostels, and offer a full range of catering options, from coffee and cake to a sit-down 3-course meal. We provide a range of international dishes to suit the varying tastes of our international clientele. 

In some hostels, the Café is licensed, so that members of the public as well as overnight guests can enjoy a glass of wine or beer with their meal.

Other hostels have a more limited range of catering available, which may include continental and cooked breakfasts and packed lunches. These can be requested at the time of booking or on arrival at the hostel.

Group catering service
We offer a variety of catering options for small and large groups, at very reasonable prices. All our food is fresh, healthy and cooked on the premises using locally-sourced produce whenever possible. Menus are creative and flexible, and our chefs are on hand to discuss your requirements.

Our self-catering kitchens are primarily for individual guests and groups are encouraged to use our catering services. Any groups who do self-cater will be allocated a particular time slot to use the kitchen so that individual customers are not inconvenienced at peak times.

Groups are requested to book any catering required at the same time as booking accommodation.
