Badger & Co., part of the Edinburgh-based Signature Group, has announced plans to start a new dining concept at its Castle Street venue in June following the appointment of new head chef, Scott Campbell.
The restaurant, which takes its name from one of the main characters in the classic children’s book, The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, who was born at 32 Castle Street in 1859, says that it will deliver a new “creative dining experience that celebrates the best local and seasonal produce, including ingredients foraged from local hedgerows.”
Mixologist Jay Brady will also be offering a new cocktail menu inspired by The Wind in the Willows theme.
Sian Thomas, General Manager at Badger & Co, said, “As the birthplace of The Wind in the Willows author, we’re really proud to be the custodians of this beautiful city centre venue. Badger & Co has continued to pay homage to one of the book’s leading characters since opening the doors to local diners and visitors in 2016.
“We’re now getting set to start a new dining chapter on Castle Street from June with a new head chef and exciting new menu. Diners can expect the best local, seasonal and foraged produce.”
