It is been over two months since we closed our doors and having spent some time starching our whites, sharpening our knives and drinking what remained in our wine cellar, we are delighted to announce we are now taking orders for Two Fats to You!

Five indulgent courses for £35 (£30 for veggie menu) available to collect at The Buttery on Friday or Saturday.

We can’t wait to bring a bit of Two Fats flavour into your home! All of the dishes have been designed to make for minimal effort on your part but with maximum flavour.

For each menu, we will be matching up the food on offer with some suggested wines (we managed to hold some back) to make for a truly special night in.

The tasting menu offers a vegetarian alternative for each course and we expect to change our menu every fortnight.

Due to the nature of what we can offer at this time, we will be unable to fully alter our menu but will endeavour to provide an alternative.

We anticipate this could be a long-term venture and want to ensure you receive the best possible product. As such, we are starting out slow with just two collection days and one day set aside for delivery. To order follow link below

We will be monitoring the situation with the utmost regard and our protocols will be adjusted according to official advice, strictly adhering to the Scottish Government’s guidelines as a minimum standard. 

We are currently open for business as normal across our venues, and at this point it is our intention for this to be the case indefinitely. The highest level of health and safety procedures have always been, and continue to be, adhered to across all of our restaurants. The frequency of current, and thorough, cleaning and hygiene procedures have been increased accordingly. Staff have been briefed on the symptoms and importance of self isolation and we urge that if you experience any symptoms consistent with COVID-19 to stay at home - all bookings can be rescheduled and we are honouring all deposit payments for transfer to future bookings. Ultimately, there is nothing more important than your health.
