“I hope to bring my own style of culinary flair to this creative space and offer everyone a warm and relaxing environment to enjoy world-class sculpture, art and the great outdoors. Expect creative autumnal cooking with the emphasis on season and sustenance.
“This is a double celebration for me as Cater Edinburgh is also celebrating 21 years of exceptional private catering across the Lothians, the rest of Scotland and worldwide.”
The chef boasts an impressive resumé, which includes cooking at the Edinburgh Food Festival, Foodies Festival and Edinburgh International Book Festival. In 2018, Barry made the transition from kitchen to stage, after being personally selected to star in Nigel Slater’s autobiographical play, “Toast”, at Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre.
