Erpingham House was founded in 2018 by entrepreneur Loui Blake footballers Russell Martin and Declan Rudd, and has an ethos of sustainability through their dishes and packaging.

The Edinburgh restaurant will have the same 100 per cent plant-based, plastic-free and mostly gluten-free menu of modern vegan food, created by group head chef Meg Greenacre.

The Erpingham House team wrote of their ethos on their website saying: “We're passionate about sharing healthy, delicious food and drinks that are as good for the planet as they taste. Our ethos is built on health-promoting, sustainable foods as much as a good time.”

Bonnie & Wild is billed as the largest single food and drink site in Scotland thanks to its 16,600 sq ft open plan space within the new development.

There is space for 700 diners, who can sit anywhere and order from the different restaurants or food stalls.

Bonnie & Wild is due to open on June 24 alongside much of the St James Quarter
