Head chef Karen Higgins uses fresh, local ingredients wherever possible and creates inspired taste combinations. Channings provides professional, friendly service to hotel guests, locals and visitors to the city alike. Diners can choose between two and threecourse menus, and an indulgent seven-course candlelit dinner in a private room is available on request. Channings Bar is an atmospheric place for a pre-dinner cocktail or a glass of wine after work. Wines are supplied by Inverarity Vaults, a family-owned Scottish company with a commitment to quality. The popular allday menu includes salads, paninis, wraps, pasta, sharing platters and burgers, all served up in some of the most informal, relaxed surroundings in Edinburgh.
