Innis & Gunn is transforming a site on Raeburn Place, Edinburgh, into a new open-air food and drink destination, set to open on Friday (1st August).
Stockbridge Social is on a site that was once home to Neighbourgood Market. It aims to bring people together through the very best of Scottish food, drinks, and entertainment, with free entry throughout August.
Food traders confirmed for the launch include Cromars, previously crowned East Scotland’s best fish and chips. They’ll be joined by steak frites specialists Flame to Fork, and cult pizza outfit Wanderers Kneaded.
As well as Innis & Gunn’s award-winning beer, Edinburgh Gin and Lost Orchards cider will be on offer. A surprise-filled entertainment programme is also in the works, with more details to be announced soon.
Dougal Gunn Sharp, founder and master brewer at Innis & Gunn, said: “We’re incredibly proud to play a big part in the fabric of Scotland’s capital — from the Highland Show to the Fringe to the Christmas market — and the fact we have this incredible opportunity to take over the market in Stockbridge is unbelievably exciting. It’s a very proud moment for us!
“With the Fringe returning and Oasis coming to town, Edinburgh is electric, and we’re cock-a-hoop to be part of it all.”
Stockbridge Social will run daily, with free entry seven days per week. The venue is dog-friendly and family-friendly, with shaded seating and a laid-back community feel.
