Scotland’s leading private events chef is now offering private fine dining experiences for small family dinners and cohabiting friends at his commercial kitchen in Leith, Edinburgh. Barry Bryson from Cater Edinburgh is motivated and inspired by Scotland’s natural larder, creating seasonal menus that combine traditional and contemporary cooking techniques. He skilfully takes restaurant concepts and fine dining to the events platform, showcasing his modern Scottish food in a variety of unique venues and events spaces across Scotland, the rest of the UK and internationally.
