Your guests will be seated in the main restaurant. The menus are designed to reflect the high qualities for which the 39 Steps Restaurant is renowned.

Chef insists upon only the best, freshest, personally sourced local produce wherever possible. These products are then transformed into a tempting menu that will leave you, quite literally bowled over as the kitchen creates exciting and innovative dishes for your enjoyment on this special occasion.

Fish Dishes
Fish and shellfish dishes are always available at any stage of the menu. Chef will happily provide you with an additional selection of seasonal seafood & fish dishes. Please ask for further details.
Vegetarian Meals
Vegetarians are always treated with a great deal of respect and therefore when required we will introduce exciting and different creations that will delight your guests.
Children
Children will be well looked after, with smaller portions without sauces being gladly provided if necessary. Cold plates will be used for safety. Children twelve years and under are charged half price and children under the age of two are complimentary.
We whole heartedly welcome children at all times at the 39 Steps. If there are a large group of children attending it is good idea to employ a suitable number of qualified child carer’s for the day as we find this is of benefit to the parents and enhances the whole reception.
WINES
The 39 Steps Restaurant has an extensive wine list to suit varying tastes and budgets. Please ask for a copy of our wine list.
Once you have chosen your menu we are more than happy to assist with food & wine matching combinations.
When calculating your budget, four 175ml glasses are poured from a 75cl bottle and six 125ml glasses for champagne or sparkling wine. As a general guide we would suggest that during the meal three glasses of wine per person is adequate and that four is rarely exceeded.
The 39 Wine's passion lies truly in the wine cellar, the experience and enthusiasm for matching combinations of food and wine is well known. We have access to source wines from all over the world and an endless list is available. The wines chosen vary from great value for money to some of the most famous makers in the world.
