📣 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
PLEASE READ

Mara’s Picklery is going to be closed for a while due to the unexpected loss of a dear and cherished family member

I’ve tried hard to find some but there are no words right now. We’re flying out to be with family and taking each hour as it comes

If you have a booking with us over the next couple of weeks, we will be in touch shortly via email. We don’t have a timeline on re-opening yet, bookings are provisionally open from the end of the month but this may be pushed back

We thank you all for your understanding, love and ongoing support 💛

Hogmanay!

Still deciding what to do this Hogmanay, or looking for somewhere to eat before you head out for the festivities? Come join us at the Picklery for our set five course Hogmanay menu!

Available all evening bookings on December 31st - we’re even kicking dinner off at 16:30 for any early birds

The menu is priced at £35pp and payment is taken at the time of booking

Ps. We have a mixture of table and counter seating and tables will be allocated subject to availability

We’re bringing back our Sharing Set Menu as a little festive treat for you all!

Five sharing plates full of wonderful wintery produce, changing to suit the best of the fresh, organic goodies available to us!

The menu will be available for lunch and dinner, alongside our A la Carte menu until lunch on December 31st (evening service on 31st will be a little bit different - details soon!) We’re looking very busy with lots of Christmas bookings so booking a table is highly recommended however, walk ins will always be accepted when space allows. As always our set menu is vegetarian and can be adapted for vegans

Our five plate sharing menu is priced at £45 for two and additional guests can be added for 22.50 per person

We currently have a temporary alcohol license until the end of the year so will be offering some boozy beverages to enjoy alongside our menu. BYOB will still be available if you prefer to bring your favourite bottle(s)

We hope to see you soon!

Chai-misu!

Our new dessert, here to stay for the festive season, our chai version of a classic tiramisu!

Mama Patel’s chai soaked Indian rusk biscuits layered with a cardamom mascarpone cream and served with a mince pie inspired apple and dried fruit compote

A beautiful dessert that’s a small departure from the Christmas classics but all the better for it

Available on our a la carte and festive set menu till the end of December 🎄🎄🎄🎅🏼

Scottish grapes!
(Yes, really 🍇)

An unexpected offering from one of our wonderful veg suppliers, organic grapes grown just down the road in East Lothian in the summer heat wave

What do Scottish grapes taste like? Frankly they’re absolutely delicious, small and sweet with just the right amount of acidity to keep you going back for more

Unfortunately, these were an experimental grow and our supply is almost over so it’s one last hurrah for this beauty of a dish

Organic Scottish grapes, house made straciatella cheese, thyme, wildflower honey and a good glug of EVOO, with some warm toasty bread on the side for mopping it all up - what more could you possibly want?

What an August!
Thanks to you all for yet another phenomenal August, our busiest month to date!

In less than two weeks we’ll have been open for 18 months, probably the quickest months of our lives. We couldn’t do this without the encouragement and love from all of you, whether you’re a neighbour, a regular, someone who shouts about us from the rooftops, someone who supports us quietly and everyone and everything in between
Times are hard for everyone, including all small business owners and particularly those in hospitality, so having the support we do from all of you means the world to us!

We closed up shop last night for a late summer break. We’re off to sleep, holiday (in the rain of course), sleep some more, spend time with family & friends, sleep, eat food, try some places to eat in Edinburgh that have been on our list for far too long and probably most importantly we’re getting married! 🎉🎉🎉

So we’ll see you all on the other side when we reopen September 25th

Thanks again and love to you all!
Mara-Eilish & Pragnesh

PS. Our phone will be unavailable during our holiday. If you need to get in touch we recommend reaching out via DM on Instagram or email but please note, there will be a delay in receiving a response
