A clifftop cafe in East Lothian made completely from shipping containers has undergone a revamp ahead of its reopening at the end of this month.
Drift, which boasts some of the best coastal views in Scotland, is set upon the clifftops of Quarrel Sands in North Berwick and overlooks the iconic Bass Rock.
The cafe has introduced a bespoke menu concept for the iconic venue and is welcoming esteemed chef Lewis Lane to take a leading role in the food and beverage offering including three course meals.
Lewis - who has a wealth of expertise and experience in the industry - is joining the Drift after stints at prestigious hotels and restaurants such as Paul Kitching's 21212, Restaurant Mark Greenaway, Timberyard and Borthwick Castle.
The new food offering which will be available when DRIFT reopens its indoor space on 31 st May is "due to pent-up demand from customers looking to dine indoors and enjoy the breath-taking views."
Lewis and DRIFT founders Jo and Stuart McNicol have created a Scandinavian-inspired menu with a twist – fresh Scottish produce with a theme of land and sea, thanks to its coastal location.
Jo McNicol, co-owner of Drift said: “It’s a really exciting time at DRIFT just now as we welcome Lewis to the team. A new menu and different offering has been on the cards for a while as we’ve had so many requests from customers. We’re confident with Lewis at the helm that we will deliver an exceptional offering which will both surprise and delight our visitors.
“Our USP has always been to serve good, homemade food with as many local or Scottish ingredients as possible but with a point of difference and like nothing else in the area, and with this Scandi twist on the new menu, I think we have achieved this. However our loyal customers don’t have to worry, we still have all the classics available such as our famous DRIFT roll and they can still book a table to pop in for coffee and cake.”
Customers can now book a table indoors for a reservation for the 31 st May and beyond at www.driftalong.co.uk and keep an eye on Facebook and Instagram for updates and sneak peeks of the new menu.
