Chinese BBQ coming to Leith

Chop Chop Leith is taking shape quickly now. The new walls are up, extending the kitchen and creating a small private dining room, another almost private dining room and an entrance lobby. It’s all looking great. The builders have been working through the weekend, which is appropriate as all building sites in Asia have seven day weeks. A slow boat from China is ploughing through the seven seas laden with our glass and chrome tables plus about 200 chairs – enough for the new restaurant and more comfortable seating for Chop Chop Haymarket.

Next on the list – shopping for our outdoor furniture. We will fit eight tables outside, enough to seat 24 al fresco diners. One of our Chinese chefs is very experienced in barbecue cooking. Not hamburgers and sausages, of course, but skewered lamb, chicken wings, corn on the cob and other delights, all sprinkled with Chinese spices. I believe our Sunday lunch Chinese barbecues (hopefully starting in July) will be a first for Edinburgh and will be very popular. 

Bookings for Chop Chop Leith opening June 14th, have been flooding in via our new online booking system, we thank everyone for their continued support. Don’t forget, we are offering FREE corkage on BYOB until the end of July and you can enter to win tickets to The Open in St. Andrews.  You may want to book early to avoid disappointment.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
