Castle Street restaurant starts a new ‘chapter’
The team behind Badger & Co, on Edinburgh’s Castle Street has announced plans to start a new ‘chapter’ at the restaurant, in June.
Badger & Co takes its name from one of the main characters in the classic children’s book, The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame, who was born at 32 Castle Street in 1859.
Sian Thomas, general manager of the restaurant, which employs 20 staff, said: “As the birthplace of the author of The Wind in the Willows, we’re really proud to be the custodians of this beautiful city-centre venue. Badger & Co has continued to pay homage to one of the book’s leading characters since opening the doors to local diners and visitors in 2016.
“We’re now getting set to start a new dining chapter on Castle Street from June with a new head chef and new menu. Diners can expect the best local, seasonal and foraged produce.”
New head chef, Scott Campbell, will lead a kitchen team of eight to create the menus and mixologist Jay Braby will also be shaking up a new creative cocktail menu, inspired by The Wind in the Willows themes.
Open seven days a week, the classic Georgian townhouse venue will provide indoor and outdoor seating for around 45 diners, as well as space for four-legged friends in the lounge. Private dining is available for up to 12 guests.
