Lidl is ruffling the feathers of Christmas dinner tables nationwide with the launch of Turkey Wine - a limited-edition rosé designed to prove once and for all that pink deserves a seat at the Christmas table. With only 500 bottles available and priced at £6.49 , this exclusive release is set to become the unexpected star of the Christmas spread. Shoppers can snap up a bottle from 10:00am on Wednesday 17th December exclusively at www.lidlturkeywine.com , while stocks last, with all proceeds going to food charity Neighbourly . Endorsed by Lidl’s Master of Wine, Richard Bampfield , Turkey Wine has been created to answer one of Christmas’ most enduring dilemmas: what wine should you serve with roast turkey?  Bampfield explains, “Roast turkey calls for a wine with enough body to cope with all the trimmings, yet not so rich that it dominates the delicate flavours of the meat.” Fortunately, Lidl has the ideal solution. “This rosé fits the bill perfectly and will make a satisfying and highly refreshing accompaniment” he adds.  A beautiful rosy blush, Turkey Wine offers stone fruit notes with a subtle hint of fresh herbs, delivering all the elegance and freshness of a Côtes de Provence-style rosé without the premium price tag. More than just a pretty pour, it has the structure to complement pigs in blankets, stuffing, and roast potatoes, while remaining bright enough to lift richer, creamy accompaniments such as bread sauce. Produced in a region of France famous for its rosés, the wine offers a sumptuously chic sip at an affordable price - a true festive win for rosé lovers. The appeal doesn’t end on Christmas Day. Turkey Wine pairs just as well with Boxing Day turkey sandwiches, making it a versatile addition to the holiday lineup. Sip back, relax, and let the wine do the talking. With only 500 bottles available , the Turkey Wine is expected to sell out fast, so don’t wing it! Lidl’s Turkey Wine will be available from 10am on Wednesday 17th December at www.lidlturkeywine.com - only while stocks last. When it’s gone, it’s gobbled ! All proceeds will go to food charity Neighbourly .

Sean Kelly’s cooking confirms what we all already know: Scotland has the finest larder in the world.   Nestled above the Caledonian Canal in The Lovat Hotel, this Highland retreat is where Sean forages, crafts and experiments with a deep respect for Scotland’s culinary past. His avant-garde tasting menu recalls volumes such as A Caledonian Feast by Annette Hope , yet feels utterly of the moment.   He tells me he would like to “not cook with lemons at all,” responding to my praise of a Chicken Liver Parfait encased in citrusy sea buckthorn. “We can get fruit flavours from foraging and fermentation,” he explains. “We don’t have to fly lemons to Scotland.”   I notice the chef’s tweezers in his pocket—tools used to carefully place vibrant lemon verbena leaves atop a dish of Shetland Brown Crab and Garden Apple. It is the freshest, most mouth-watering plate I’ve eaten, made even better by an accompanying earthenware pot of velvety Partan Bree , Scotland’s answer to bouillabaisse.   Cod Roe in herb moss, heaped on   Beremeal and Treacle Bannock, is beautifully complemented by a glass of English Pinot Gris. Foraged Mushrooms with pumpkin seeds and pumpkin espuma prove that simple ingredients, elevated with thought and skill, can reach three-rosette standard.  Sean trained with Roux at one stage. When asked if he wants a star, Sean replies that what he would really like is a full restaurant in the off-season. I think it’s the perfect time to visit, offering exclusivity, peace and crisp Highland sunshine.   Atlantic Halibut and Highland Lamb courses maintain the high standard, while desserts astonish again. “ Auld Man’s Milk ” is a Scottish eggnog, in this instance cradling an intense purple sorbet made from local blackcurrants—equal to any continental brûlée or caramel.   A Tart made with flour milled from inner silver birch bark yields crisp pastry, a vessel for chocolate soil. Petit fours include mead pâte de fruit, a sea buckthorn chocolate, and a showstopping Hazelnut Ice Cream tasting like the very essence of nut—encased in a chocolate cigar, dusted with ‘green moss’, and served on a bowl of real woodland sticks. Breakfast continues the respect for Scottish foodways. Foraged mushrooms, with haggis, black pudding and sourdough all homemade and not a baked bean in sight! Kudos.

For the first time, the resort is bringing dining in-house, with internationally renowned chef, restaurateur, and hospitality consultant Jason Wright  at the helm as Head of Food and Beverage. The Outlets Lost Kitchen  – all-day dining, soon to expand into a curated evening menu of shareable plates. Lost Tacos  – playful, fresh flavours inspired by street food. Lost Deli  – homemade salads and focaccia sandwiches baked daily. Lost Market  – opening soon, an onsite grocery stocked with artisan produce and branded Get Lost  goods, available to take home or order direct to chalets and pods. Chef’s Vision Jason Wright commented: “Lost Food is the culinary heartbeat of Lost Shore. From breakfast through dinner, we’re creating bold, fresh flavours with simple cooking, designed to fuel surfers, locals, and visitors alike. With exciting events and collaborations planned, we can’t wait to share this new hub with everyone.” What’s Next Phase Two launches in spring, when Lost Kitchen  will debut its evening menu alongside Lost Tacos , complemented by a classic cocktail and wine list.

If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas cocktails to end a festive office day out, impress visiting friends or celebrate with your favourite people, I’ve got just the spot. Head to 56 North on West Crosscauseway , get yourself warm and comfy in one of their booths, and browse their cocktail menu. 56 North has over 400 gins and a dedicated South Loch Distillery producing its own spirits right inside the venue. There are two 50L copper pot stills in the bar. I couldn’t resist the Dark Chocolate Orange Negroni - not a hard sell, as I’m a big Negroni fan, but chocolate orange… come on, how could I say no? It’s made with Mozart Dark Chocolate , South Loch Spiced Gin, sweet vermouth and dehydrated orange. The cocktail is surprisingly light, with just a little kick of spice and gentle chocolate sweetness. Next, I chose the Ember Old Fashioned to contrast the freezing weather outside. This warm concoction features Monkey Shoulder, Ardbeg Wee Beastie 5 Year, honey syrup, black walnut and flamed dehydrated orange. There was definitely some magic at play - the drink looked almost transparent despite the golden whisky inside. The smokiness of the Ardbeg was beautifully balanced by the sweetness of the honey. If I’d had more time, I would have happily dived into the boozy hot chocolate made with Bacardi Spiced Rum (infused with vanilla and nutmeg). Whether you’re a Negroni devotee, a whisky lover, or just after a warming hot chocolate, 56 North blends its distillery heritage with festive creativity. And if you’re not into booze, worry not - the cocktail menu includes a wide selection of mocktails and alcohol-free drinks. 56 North: 2–8 West Crosscauseway, Edinburgh EH8 9JP

From cosy pubs to sparkling rooftop bars — the Bite team is gathering plenty of seasonal inspiration.

Where Team Bite Ate This Week Mrs Bite and Eleanora revisited an Edinburgh favourite: Kampong Ah Lee - perfect food for this cold weather Comfort food and cocktails at The Bonnington Pub - try the Haggis Bon Bons with a cheeky dash of HP sauce. Kerry, The Social Bitches and Mrs Bite were all invited for festive drinks at Lamplighters, Gleneagles  .

Sophisticated, that's the word that springs to mind to describe The Tollhouse. In another life, this same spot in Canonmills was one of the original entry points into the city. It’s here, along the Water of Leith , where merchants stopped to hand over their levies, before continuing on to sell their wares in the city. I wonder what they’d have thought of the glass-fronted, modern building now standing in its place.  The Tollhouse is one of four local restaurants from Stuart Muir – the youngest Scottish chef to be awarded a Michelin star – and business partner Paul Brennan , their other offerings being Dine in Murrayfield and Craiglockhart, and above the Traverse Theatre. Walking in one Wednesday evening with Bite contributor Bron Eley, to me, The Tollhouse has a similar welcoming familiarity to Dine. It’s stylish but in a low-key way – dark wooden panelling and floorboards contrasting with white chandeliers and a light geometric ceiling. It ’s also local – a chance for those living nearby (like both Bron and I, incidentally) to become regulars. The fact that the team uses produce from fishmongers, grocers and butchers in the area also adds to the community feel . Perhaps the local traders in previous times would have been pleased with the support for their modern-day counterparts. 2 Courses £28.50, 3 Courses £35.50 Despite it being mid-week, the upstairs section, where we sit beside one of the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Water of Leith, is almost full. There’s also a lower level for private dining and a terrace where you may spot the odd kingfisher, heron or otter – one for earlier in the day when it’s a bit lighter. But, we’ve spoken about everything bar the food – the team has just launched their festive party menu , which is well worth a consideration. This includes two or three courses with the option for a side order or two. And I can confirm it is delicious. My White Onion and Parmesan Velouté with a chive scone and crispy shallots (starter), Spiced Butternut Squash Risotto with toasted pumpkin seeds (main) and Cheese Board with chutney grapes and crackers (dessert) has me rolling out of The Tollhouse but wanting more at the same time – sharing Bron’s Pomme Frites (starter) for example, or trying her Christmas Pudding (there’s always room for dessert, right?). They also do a fine dry Vodka Martini, my current go-to cocktail. It’s the kind of cooking that makes repeat visits inevitable. Book a table here  – we suspect it can get busy so it may be best to reserve your spot. The Tollhouse: 50 Brandon Terrace, Edinburgh EH3 5BX - 0131 224 2424 Opening hours: Monday to Sunday: 12pm to 4pm (lunch), 4pm to 11pm (dinner) By Bronwyn Eley - letters_from_neverland on Insta

On a crisp November evening, The Bonnington glows on its corner spot on the eponymous road, inviting locals in with the promise of comfort food, beer, wine and cocktails. Run since 2024 by Carlo Carozzi —also the force behind the award‑winning street food venture The Peruvian —this neighbourhood pub has quickly become a welcoming hub. The no. 11 bus stops right at the door. Once inside, the pub manages to be both spacious and cosy at the same time. In the main bar there are warm red seats and large windows that flood the room with sunlight. At the back you can choose to sit at tables or in a snug booth. Sport is broadcast live in the front bar. The menu is all about hearty, homemade dishes. I start with local favourite Findlays of Portobello Haggis Bon Bons, crisp outside and soft, spicy within, paired cheekily with HP sauce. Rachel opts for Gordal Olives from the selection of Bar Snacks. For mains, my Bangers and Mash arrive with giant sausages and a generous pour of onion gravy. Rachel tucks into a double‑patty Moving Mountains Burger , fluffy chips on the side and mayo for dipping. I save room for dessert: Apple Crumble with Custard flecked with real vanilla, its buttery topping yields to soft, sweet fruit—just like your gran used to make. Carozzi’s bar pedigree (The Voodoo Rooms, Dragonfly) meets his Peruvian roots in Scotland’s largest Pisco list. My Pisco Sour (Barsol Quebranta, lime, sugar, egg white) is sharp yet silky, served in a smart glass. Across the table, Rachel’s Margarito (Barsol Quebranta, Ancho Reyes, lime, Tajin) balances ancho chilli warmth with a delicate spice dusting. For those skipping alcohol, the golden fizz of Inca Kola offers a playful alternative—like Irn Bru kissed with lemon verbena. Great with The Bonnington’s Bar Snacks for a sweet and salty sensation.  Carozzi sums up the ethos of The Bonnington simply: “It’s a comfy and welcoming bar where I want people to relax, chat and have fun. There are no pretensions here and everyone is welcome—including dogs. Drop by for a quick refreshment or stay longer and eat with friends, family and loved ones. My aim is to create a hospitable space for all.” With keen pricing, a laid back vibe and friendly accomplished staff, The Bonnington is everything you want from a neighbourhood local. The Bonnington : 284 Bonnington Road, Edinburgh, EH6 5BE - +44 131 554 5824 Open daily: Noon – midnight; Fri & Sat: until 1 am

A Newington staple It’s with blush cheeks that I confess my first visit to Kampong Ah Lee , the acclaimed Malaysian restaurant that has quietly thrived in Newington for two decades. How it has eluded me until now is a mystery. A Sri Lankan–German friend, when asked for the city’s best Malaysian spot, answers without hesitation: Kampong Ah Lee. She is right. Another antipodean pal comments that KAL is her 'go to' for Laska. The restaurant is small and narrow, its walls alive with colour, and on a frigid Edinburgh night it feels like a warm embrace. I begin with Chicken Satay Skewers to take the edge off of my hunger. A generous portion arrives, accompanied by a satay sauce unlike any I’ve tasted — rich with warm spices, chopped peanuts, and the crunch of cucumber and red onion to the side. When my dining partner Eleonora joins me, we share crisp Pork Wontons filled with juicy minced meat before moving to mains. My Chicken Curry, stewed to tenderness on the bone, is deeply flavoured, and made all the better by the use of halal meat sourced from nearby St Patrick Square butchers — a detail that adds depth and quality to every bite. Meanwhile, Eleonora’s Mee Goreng — sweet, spicy noodles with chicken, prawn, squid, and vegetables — transports us straight to Malaysia’s streets. Service is swift, food arrives fresh from the stove, and the homely spirit envisioned by Mr Lee when he opened in 2007 is alive and well. There are so many dishes I want to taste not least the Roti and even the normally mundane Spring Rolls look like King spring rolls! Kampong Ah Lee is not just popular — it’s essential. I’m already planning my next reservation Check out out Asian restaurant section Kampong Ah Lee: 28 Clerk Street, Edinburgh EH8 9HX. . Opening Hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday noon-3pm, 5pm-10pm, Tuesday closed,

This new creative space is now open Wow! It’s not a reaction I have often to new spaces, but the revitalisation of George Brown & Sons Engineers Ltd is really something. Leith is a hotbed of culinary, architectural and creative talent. Always has been, always will be. What better transformation of this recently vacated warehouse than to a new town square - Brown's of Leith. Wander through the iconic double doors from The Shore into a zone of foodie zen. There are comfortable chairs and easy access countertops to order scran and refreshments. I visit on the windiest Friday of the year with my trusty companion, pug Coco by my side. The staff have time to chat, everything is so fresh and there’s sun streaming through the windows highlighting steam rising from the pizza ovens. I’m in! Civer inos margherita pizza is deliciously crisp and cut into small sharing size pieces; very thoughtful as I certainly didn’t get the pizza to myself. Tomato sauce umami-rich in flavour contrasts beautifully with a slightly charred super-thin crust. It’s obvious why they are included in Time Out’s list of the world’s Top Pizza restaurants (ranked 13th on a list of the 19 best pizzas globally in March 2025). Bite review of Civerinos Timberyard and Montrose can do no wrong and continue their winning streak with inhouse drinks counter Haze. “Blurring lines between morning coffee & evening wine” is a fabulous approach and makes a lot of sense given Brown’s is open for a full 12 hours four days a week. It’s a good choice of blurred lines and the coffee is very decent too. Nibbles will appear on the menu as the venue develops. For the meantime, you’ll need to go down there yourself to find out. Shrimpwreck is in there too, offering dishes fresh from the sea. It’s on the list for next time. Brown’s is work in progress, and soon will also be home to a community of artists and architects. I’m looking forward to their events, both over winter and when summer eventually returns. The Shore has always been a rewarding weekend wander, and this opening from Gunnar Groves-Raines of Custom House (just across the water) has added another jewel to Leith’s highly decorated culinary crown. Brown’s of Leith: 4-6 Shore, Leith, Edinburgh Thursday–Sunday, 8am–8pm
