Eating out . . . Guernsey to Edinburgh

GUERNSEY’S food festival (September 18-27) will harness the island's produce and unique dishes in special dinners, tours, and interactive events. 

As well as cook-offs and live cooking demonstrations, there will be opportunities to sample the island’s one-of-a-kind gastronomy which has grown from its position as an island between England and France.

EDINBURGH’S historic Signet Library has opened its newly-refurbished doors as one of the city’s most glamorous lunch and afternoon tea venues. 

Following a £250,000 restoration of the library interiors, the lower library opens for lunch and afternoon teas under the name Colonnades, a reference to the building’s classical pillars. 

The venue has its own tea sommelier, Champagne experts, and an on-site pastry chef. Its signature afternoon tea will change with the seasons and reflect the best of Scottish produce. 

The Signet Library, in the centre of Edinburgh’s old town, was built in 1822 as the library of the prestigious Society of Writers to her Majesty’s Signet (also known as the WS Society), an association of Scottish lawyers and one of the oldest professional bodies in the world.
