I am loving all the new produce that are constantly coming into season and I can’t wait to serve them on the menu at The Kitchin. The game season kicked off with the glorious grouse and it always symbolises the start of an outstanding period in my kitchen year. The Scottish wild mushrooms and girolles from Perthshire are exceptional this time of year and accompany my dishes beautifully. As you will see, I am constantly changing the menu introducing new dishes and delights in season thanks to an outstanding team of suppliers!
The Kitchin’s sister restaurant Castle Terrace opened on 14th July on Castle Terrace in central Edinburgh, with Chef Dominic Jack behind the stove. A very exciting time for us!
I hope to see you at The Kitchin soon! Tom Kitchin
