Chef Rob Casson is leaving his Auld Reekie home for a residency in Glasgow from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 March, and hungry diners should act fast if they want a bite of the action. They’ve created a one-off menu to tempt your tastebuds that promises ‘burger and sandwiches that will improve your life!’.

Recently placed as one of the Top 10 sandwich makers on the planet their exclusive menu packs a mighty punch. There’s ridiculously delicious dishes such as Colcannon Croquettes with Fried Sausage, a signature Spice Burger with lashings of Curry Sauce and their sell-out King’s Style McMuffins.

If you have a sweet tooth be sure to leave room for their battered Cream Egg with Caramel Ice Cream.

As well as the food, the talented Gate bartenders will be serving up Chambord Frozè, Slane Whisky Highballs and Paddy Day cocktails on special for the whole weekend.
