Luxury Scottish hotel to launch ‘lavish’ all day brunch
A five star city centre hotel is set to extend the times of its monthly brunch offering.
Gleneagles Townhouse has reimagined its monthly Brunch Club as Sunday Feast at The Spence, extending the gathering beneath The Spence's glass dome ceiling from a three-hour brunch sitting into a lavish full afternoon affair, running from 12pm to 7:30pm.
Launching on 30 August and taking place on the last Sunday of every month thereafter, Sunday Feast at The Spence celebrates offers indulgence within the former Bank of Scotland, with each room offering an ‘immersive gastronomic experience’, plus a caviar trolley for a touch of tableside theatre.
Upon arrival, diners start the meal with a choice of drinks. Bellini's are prepared from a tableside trolley, with guests offered the choice of White Peach, Strawberry Rossini, or Blood Orange, plus the option to upgrade to a Royal Bellini poured from a magnum of Veuve Clicquot.
Alternatively, there's the option of a build your own Bloody Mary, with a wide selection of sauces, toppings and garnishes for a more savoury start to proceedings.
There will now be an entire space within the bright and airy Telling Rooms dedicated to cheese and charcuterie, with a large variety of premium cheeses cut to order from the legendary Mellis, alongside hot cheese specials. They sit alongside freshly sliced cured meats from Harvey & Brockless, with all of the chutneys, crackers, pickles and accompaniments diners could wish for.
While in The Spence, generous buffet tables piled high bring together the best of land and sea. From whole crab, langoustines and mussels to freshly baked pork pies, haggis sausage rolls and vibrant seasonal salads, allowing guests to build a plate to their liking.
Meanwhile, main courses are prepared fresh to order by the kitchen. Choose from dishes such as slow-cooked porchetta with sage stuffing and apple sauce, Tweed Valley sirloin, Loch Melfort trout or herb roasted chicken crown, all served with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and all the trimmings that make Sunday lunch so special.
The Dessert Room returns with its ever-changing spread of sweet treats, from pastries and cakes to old fashioned sweets and fruit kebabs dipped in melted chocolate. The sweet offering is now joined by a new Espresso Martini station, where bartenders shake Classic, White and non-alcoholic versions to order – the ideal pick-me-up to keep the afternoon going.
No two sittings at The Sunday Feast are ever quite the same, with a different DJ, pianist or acoustic musician performing live each month.
The Sunday Feast runs on the last Sunday of every month with seating times from 12pm, and the last seating at 7:30pm. £95 per person including one drinks token (additional tokens £10 each). To book, visit The Gleneagles Townhouse website.
