The team behind one of Stockbridge’s hottest bars, Skua, will host a street food pop-up, Coop on Potterrow in Fettle Cafe on the 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28 and 31 July and for the whole of August to coincide with the Edinburgh festivals.
Taking inspiration from its popular signature dishes at Skua, the menu will include Skua’s incredibly moreish fried chicken, smoked East Coast lobster rolls, Maneesh zaatar and olive oil, braised Free Company roast lamb, and nabulsi cheese flatbreads with togarashi or seaweed flake fries. Skua is renowned for its eclectic drinks list, featuring natural and biodynamic wines, as well as innovative cocktails crafted by mixologist Jacob Thunder. Following this same ethos, Coop will offer Vinca canned wines, Newbarns Brewery beers on tap, and a rotating selection of Skua’s cocktails to toast the festivities. Coop is the perfect hangout for a late-night bite between shows to sit in or take-away, just a 10-minute walk from top festival venues The Pleasance, The Underbelly, Gilded Balloon and The Assembly.
Tomás Gormley said: “Growing up in Edinburgh the Festival has always been the highlight of the year for me. While I usually feel the increased bustle in my restaurants, I rarely get to see much of the festival itself. This year I’m looking forward to spending a month right in the thick of it serving up some of my favourite things to eat and drink including the signature fried chicken from Skua.”
Coop has taken over Fettle cafe, Marshall St, Edinburgh EH8 9BJ and is open from 6 pm – 1 am on Friday – Sunday from 19th July and 7 days a week in August from the site of Fettle in Potterrow. It will operate a walk-in-only service.
