Complete Transformation : Visit Scran New Town , Edinburgh ’ s latest trendy brunch spot

DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
When popular Edinburgh eatery Scran Bistro announced earlier this year that it would be opening a second venue , fans were delighted .
Since 2018 , Scran Bistro has been serving customers in the city centre with American-style burgers and milkshakes , and in January , the much-loved venue announced plans to launch another site nearby – dedicated to all things brunch .
Scran New Town opened on the city ’ s North Bridge in May , and since lockdown restrictions eased , the business has been enjoying serving delicious meals , afternoon teas and boozy brunches .
And it ’ s all thanks to the hard work of shopfitting and joinery company Citi Contracts – after carrying out the stunning refurbishment of Scran Bistro , the local business was called upon again to transform
Scran New Town , and after a £ 140K renovation , the new trendy venue now boasts pastel pink walls , neons , huge flower installations , checkerboard floors and soft booths .
“ The owner had a childhood dream of opening a food empire , and as a contractor , it ’ s our goal to get invested in people ’ s dreams and help make them a reality , which is why we were more than happy to refurbish this venue into what it is today – a vibrant and trendy brunch and cocktail bar ,” says Citi Contracts Director Robbie Weddell .
Full service
The Citi Contracts team carried out everything from the initial design through to the final fit out , adapting its approach as the owner ’ s vision evolved along the way .
