We’re holding a Whisky Tasting lunch on Tuesday 19th October with a special guest from Lindores Abbey Distillery in Fife, which classes itself as the ‘spiritual home of Scotch whisky’!
Join us from 1pm and we’ll have a sociable, fun and informative session, which will be enjoyed over a delicious three-course lunch.
Murray Stevenson, the brand ambassador from Lindores Abbey Distillery will be talking to our guests, taking you through the intriguing history of Lindores Abbey (located in Lindores, Fife) which apparently has widely recognised links to the earliest written reference of Scotch whisky. Its whisky has been revived after 523 years and the spirit is back flowing from its copper stills, of this ancient site. And you can sample and enjoy it on 19th October from 1pm for only £25pp! Join us for some great chat on this single malt whisky over a three-course lunch.
To book a place, simply call 0800 124 4112 or email info@mercatgrill.com.
Our new, ‘MG Business Hub’ opens this Friday! With so many of you, still working from home – we’ve created a new business hub, here at the Mercat Grill to help homeworkers looking for a change of work space and get back some of that ‘Friday feeling’!
We know how isolating it can sometimes feel, working alone from home – so we thought we’d create an area for locals looking for a change of scenery to get on with their daily tasks or for a socially distanced meeting.
We have a special seating area, in the quieter area of our venue, where for only £10 – you can spend a two-hour slot, anytime between 9am until 12pm every Friday working away. You’ll have access to power points; free Wi-Fi and we’ll bring you a bacon or egg roll and a fresh cup of coffee/tea!
Our new MG Business Hub will be available on a Friday from 9am to 12pm. Simply call us on 0131 665 3354 to book a socially distanced space, for up to two hours.
