Indulge yourself at the Wee Restaurant, Queensferry

Queensferry’s Wee Restaurant will be holding a wine and food tasting evening on the 10th November 2008 in conjunction with Wine Merchant - L'art Du Vin. Craig Wood, Chef and proprietor of The Wee Restaurant works closely with Philippe Larue of L'art Du Vin to match a selection of superb wines with a special four course dinner menu of Scottish seafood and shellfish.

Philippe Larue of L'art Du Vin hosts the evening with enormous flair and passion offering an informative background on each of the wines and why their flavours work so well with Craig’s culinary creations.

November is a busy month for The Wee Restaurant. It is delighted to announce that it is expanding with the opening of ‘The Study’ at the end of November. ‘The Study’ at The Wee Restaurant will extend the restaurant’s covers from 24 to 34. This comes at an exciting time for the restaurant having recently been awarded a Bib Gourmand in the recent Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2008, winning Restaurant Newcomer at the CIS Excellence Awards 2008 and being dubbed as the ‘Best Eating Place in Scotland’ by the Independent Magazine’s restaurant critics.

The Wee Restaurant has also launched The Wee Restaurant “Outside” following an increasing demand for chef Craig Wood’s catering services out with the restaurant.

Craig Wood, owner and head chef of The Wee Restaurant, commented, “Due to the popularity of the restaurant we are opening ‘The Study’ in late November this year increasing numbers by 8 to 10 people. We hope to have the work completed by the end of November. The Study will cater more for private events in house and small parties for meetings and celebrations whilst will also offer additional tables for everyday lunches and dinner.”

The Wee Restaurant as the name suggests is currently a small restaurant which will extend its covers from 24 to 34 in November 2008. To meet popular demand the restaurant has also extended its opening hours this year to incorporate Sunday lunches from 12:00 to 3:00pm. Established in March 2006, The Wee Restaurant is family owned, run by Craig and Vikki Wood.

Their ethos is to serve simple good seasonal food with fine wines, in a truly relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant setting is idyllic and definitely worth the short train journey from Edinburgh or a trip from further afield. Customers can enjoy a delicious meal, cooked by Craig, followed by a wander round the charming harbour village of North Queensferry soaking up the breath taking views of the Forth Road and Rail Bridges.

Craig Wood made his reputation as the head chef of The Hallion Club (Edinburgh) and formerly worked at Michelin starred Restaurant Martin Wishart (Edinburgh) and Charlie Trotters in Chicago. His wife, Vikki, works part-time front of house alongside Richard Conway, Restaurant Manager.

The Wee Restaurant can also be booked for entirely Private Functions and holds popular Wee Restaurant Wine Tasting Evenings throughout the year.

The next wine tasting evening is on the 10th November. The evening commences at 7.00pm and is priced at £50 per person (payable upon booking).
